Conversions arising from convenience as well as conviction then increased. These conversions to Islam, together with a steady tribal inflow from the desert, changed the religious character of Palestine's inhabitants.

"the word 'Arab' needs to be used with care. It is applicable to the Bedouin and to a section of the urban and effendi classes; it is inappropriate as a description of the rural mass of the population, the fellaheen. The whole population spoke Arabic, usually corrupted by dialects bearing traces of words of other origin, but it was only the Bedouin who habitually thought of themselves as Arabs. Western travelers from the sixteenth century onwards make the same distinction, and the word 'Arab' almost always refers to them exclusively.... Gradually it was realized that there remained a substantial stratum of the pre-Israelite peasantry, and that the oldest element among the peasants were not 'Arabs' in the sense of having entered the country with or after the conquerors of the seventh century, had been there already when the Arabs came."</ref>

The [[Greek language|Greek]] toponym ''Palaistínē'' (Παλαιστίνη), which is the origin of the [[Arabic]] ''Filasṭīn'' (فلسطين), first occurs in the work of the 5th century BCE [[Ancient Greece|Greek]] historian [[Herodotus]], where it denotes generally<ref name="Exception">With the exception of Bks. 1, 105; 3.91.1, and 4.39, 2.</ref> the coastal land from [[Phoenicia]] down to [[Egypt]].<ref name="Herodotus1">[[Herodotus]] describes its scope in the Fifth Satrapy of the Persians as follows: "From the town of Posidium, [...] on the border between [[Cilicia]] and Syria, as far as [[Egypt]] – omitting Arabian territory, which was free of tax, came 350 talents. This province contains the whole of Phoenicia and that part of Syria which is called Palestine, and Cyprus. This is the fifth Satrapy."

Quote: "First coined in 1881 by the French Egyptologist G. Maspero (1896), the somewhat misleading term "Sea Peoples" encompasses the ethnonyms Lukka, Sherden, Shekelesh, Teresh, Eqwesh, Denyen, Sikil / Tjekker, Weshesh, and Peleset (Philistines). [Footnote: The modern term "Sea Peoples" refers to peoples that appear in several New Kingdom Egyptian texts as originating from "islands" (tables 1–2; Adams and Cohen, this volume; see, e.g., [[Robert Drews|Drews]] 1993, 57 for a summary). The use of quotation marks in association with the term "Sea Peoples" in our title is intended to draw attention to the problematic nature of this commonly used term. It is noteworthy that the designation "of the sea" appears only in relation to the Sherden, Shekelesh, and Eqwesh. Subsequently, this term was applied somewhat indiscriminately to several additional ethnonyms, including the Philistines, who are portrayed in their earliest appearance as invaders from the north during the reigns of Merenptah and Ramesses Ill (see, e.g., Sandars 1978; Redford 1992, 243, n. 14; for a recent review of the primary and secondary literature, see Woudhuizen 2006).

Yet in the inscriptions themselves such a migration nowhere appears. After reviewing what the Egyptian texts have to say about 'the sea peoples', one Egyptologist (Wolfgang Helck) recently remarked that although some things are unclear, "eins ist aber sicher: Nach den ägyptischen Texten haben wir es nicht mit einer "Völkerwanderung" zu tun." ("one thing is clear: according to the Egyptian texts, we are not dealing here with a '[[Migration Period|Völkerwanderung]]' [migration of peoples as in 4th–6th-century Europe].")

When the [[Ancient Rome|Romans]] conquered the region in the first century BCE, they used the name [[Judaea (Roman province)|Judaea]] for the province that covered most of the region.

==Origins==
{{main|Origin of the Palestinians|Demographic history of Palestine (region)}}[[File:Khalil Raad, Palestinian mother and child, 1918-1938.jpg|thumb|Palestinian mother and child]]The origins of Palestinians are complex and diverse. The region was not originally [[Arabs|Arab]] – its [[Arabization]] was a consequence of the gradual inclusion of Palestine within the rapidly expanding [[Caliphate|Islamic Caliphates]] established by Arabian tribes and their local allies. Like in other "Arabized" Arab nations, the [[Arab identity]] of Palestinians, largely based on [[Arabic|linguistic]] and [[Arab culture|cultural]] affiliation, is independent of the existence of any actual Arabian origins.
Palestine has undergone many demographic and religious upheavals throughout history.

===Emergence of a distinct identity===
The timing and causes behind the emergence of a distinctively Palestinian national consciousness among the Arabs of Palestine are matters of scholarly disagreement. Some argue that it can be traced as far back as the [[peasants' revolt in Palestine]] in 1834 (or even as early as the 17th century), while others argue that it did not emerge until after the Mandatory Palestine period.<ref name="Likhovski" /><ref name="Sorek" /> Legal historian Assaf Likhovski states that the prevailing view is that Palestinian identity originated in the early decades of the 20th century,<ref name="Likhovski">{{cite book |last= Likhovski |first=Assaf |title=Law and identity in mandate Palestine |year=2006 |publisher=The University of North Carolina Press |isbn=978-0-8078-3017-8 |page=174 }}</ref> when an embryonic desire among Palestinians for self-government in the face of generalized fears that [[Zionism]] would lead to a [[Jewish state]] and the dispossession of the Arab majority crystallised among most editors, Christian and Muslim, of local newspapers.<ref>Rashid Khalidi,"Palestinian Identity", [https://books.google.com/books?id=YDPKFyZ38qsC&pg=PA143 pp.117ff, p.142].</ref> The term itself ''Filasṭīnī'' was first introduced by [[Khalil Beidas|Khalīl Beidas]] in a translation of a Russian work on the Holy Land into Arabic in 1898. After that, its usage gradually spread so that, by 1908, with the loosening of censorship controls under late Ottoman rule, a number of Muslim, Christian and Jewish correspondents writing for newspapers began to use the term with great frequency in referring to the 'Palestinian people'(''ahl/ahālī Filasṭīn''), 'Palestinians' (''al-Filasṭīnīyūn'') the 'sons of Palestine(''abnā’ Filasṭīn'') or to 'Palestinian society',(''al-mujtama' al-filasṭīnī'').<ref name="ZachBeška">Zachary J Foster, Emanuel Beška,[https://www.academia.edu/49925414/The_Origins_of_the_term_Palestinian_Filasṭīnī_in_late_Ottoman_Palestine_1898_1914?email_work_card=view-paper 'The Origins of the term “Palestinian” (“Filasṭīnī”) in late Ottoman Palestine, 1898–1914,'] ''Academic Letters 2021 pp.1-22''</ref>[[File:Coat of arms of Palestine.svg|thumb|upright|left|[[Saladin]]'s Falcon, the [[Coat of arms of Palestine|coat of arms]] and emblem of the [[Palestinian Authority]]]]
Whatever the differing viewpoints over the timing, causal mechanisms, and orientation of Palestinian nationalism, by the early 20th century strong opposition to Zionism and evidence of a burgeoning nationalistic Palestinian identity is found in the content of Arabic-language newspapers in Palestine, such as ''[[Al-Karmil (newspaper)|Al-Karmil]]'' (est. 1908) and ''[[Filastin (newspaper)|Filasteen]]'' (est. 1911).<ref name=Khalidip124>Khalidi, 1997, pp. 124–127.</ref> Filasteen initially focused its critique of Zionism around the failure of the Ottoman administration to control Jewish immigration and the large influx of foreigners, later exploring the impact of Zionist land-purchases on Palestinian peasants ({{lang-ar|فلاحين}}, ''[[fellahin]]''), expressing growing concern over land dispossession and its implications for the society at large.<ref name=Khalidip124/>
Historian [[Rashid Khalidi]]'s 1997 book ''Palestinian Identity: The Construction of Modern National Consciousness'' is considered a "foundational text" on the subject.<ref>[https://cup.columbia.edu/book/palestinian-identity/9780231150743 "Palestinian Identity – The ...."] ''Columbia University Press''. 10 December 2018.</ref> He notes that the archaeological strata that denote the history of [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] – encompassing the [[Biblical]], [[Ancient Rome|Roman]], [[Byzantine]], [[Umayyad]], [[Abbasid]], [[Fatimid]], [[Crusade]]r, [[Ayyubid]], [[Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo)|Mamluk]] and [[Ottoman empire|Ottoman]] periods – form part of the identity of the modern-day Palestinian people, as they have come to understand it over the last century.<ref name=Khalidip18>[[Rashid Khalidi]], [https://books.google.com/books?id=YDPKFyZ38qsC&pg=PA18 ''Palestinian Identity: The Construction of Modern National Consciousness,''] New York: Columbia University Press, 2010, p. 18.</ref> Noting that Palestinian identity has never been an exclusive one, with "Arabism, religion, and local loyalties" playing an important role, Khalidi cautions against the efforts of some extreme advocates of Palestinian nationalism to "anachronistically" read back into history a nationalist consciousness that is in fact "relatively modern".<ref>Khalidi, 2010, [https://books.google.com/books?id=YDPKFyZ38qsC&pg=PA149 p. 149].</ref><ref name=Khalidip19>Khalidi, 1997, pp. 19–21.</ref>
Khalidi argues that the modern national identity of Palestinians has its roots in [[nationalism|nationalist]] discourses that emerged among the peoples of the [[Ottoman empire]] in the late 19th century that sharpened following the demarcation of modern nation-state boundaries in the [[Middle East]] after [[World War I]].<ref name=Khalidip19/> Khalidi also states that although the challenge posed by [[Zionism]] played a role in shaping this identity, that "it is a serious mistake to suggest that Palestinian identity emerged mainly as a response to Zionism."<ref name=Khalidip19/>

All nationalisms arise in opposition to some 'other.' Why else would there be the need to specify who you are? And all nationalisms are defined by what they oppose."<ref name = "Gelvin 92" />
David Seddon writes that "[t]he creation of Palestinian identity in its contemporary sense was formed essentially during the 1960s, with the creation of the Palestine Liberation Organization." He adds, however, that "the existence of a population with a recognizably similar name ('the Philistines') in Biblical times suggests a degree of continuity over a long historical period (much as 'the Israelites' of the Bible suggest a long historical continuity in the same region)."<ref>David Seddon (ed.)''A political and economic dictionary of the Middle East,'' Taylor & Francis, 2004. p. 532.</ref>
[[Baruch Kimmerling]] and Joel S. Migdal consider the 1834 [[Peasants' revolt in Palestine]] as constituting the first formative event of the Palestinian people. From 1516 to 1917, Palestine was ruled by the [[Ottoman Empire]] save a decade from the 1830s to the 1840s when an Egyptian vassal of the Ottomans, [[Muhammad Ali of Egypt|Muhammad Ali]], and his son [[Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt|Ibrahim Pasha]] successfully broke away from Ottoman leadership and, conquering territory spreading from Egypt to as far north as Damascus, asserted their own rule over the area. The so-called [[Peasants' Revolt of 1834 (Palestine)|Peasants' Revolt]] by Palestine's Arabs was precipitated by heavy demands for conscripts. The local leaders and urban notables were unhappy about the loss of traditional privileges, while the peasants were well aware that conscription was little more than a death sentence. Starting in May 1834 the rebels took many cities, among them [[Jerusalem]], [[Hebron]] and [[Nablus]] and Ibrahim Pasha's army was deployed, defeating the last rebels on 4 August in Hebron.<ref name=Kimmerling6>Kimmerling and Migdal, 2003, p. 6–11</ref> [[Benny Morris]] argues that the Arabs in Palestine nevertheless remained part of a larger national [[pan-Arab]] or, alternatively, pan-Islamist movement.<ref>[[Benny Morris]], ''Righteous Victims'', pp.40–42 in the French edition.</ref> [[Walid Khalidi]] argues otherwise, writing that Palestinians in [[Ottoman empire|Ottoman]] times were "[a]cutely aware of the distinctiveness of Palestinian history ..." and "[a]lthough proud of their Arab heritage and ancestry, the Palestinians considered themselves to be descended not only from Arab conquerors of the seventh century but also from [[indigenous peoples]] who had lived in the country since time immemorial, including the ancient [[Hebrews]] and the [[Canaanites]] before them."<ref name=WKhalidi32>Khalidi, W., 1984, p. 32</ref>
[[File:Palestine 1930.jpg|thumb|A 1930 protest in [[Jerusalem]] against the British Mandate by Palestinian women.

Foster argued in a 2015 ''Foreign Affairs'' article that "based on hundreds of manuscripts, Islamic court records, books, magazines, and newspapers from the Ottoman period (1516–1918), it seems that the first Arab to use the term "Palestinian" was Farid Georges Kassab, a Beirut-based Orthodox Christian." He explained further that Kassab's 1909 book ''Palestine, Hellenism, and Clericalism'' noted in passing that "the Orthodox Palestinian Ottomans call themselves Arabs, and are in fact Arabs," despite describing the Arabic speakers of Palestine as Palestinians throughout the rest of the book."<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/middle-east/2015-03-11/whats-palestinian|title=What's a Palestinian?|first=Zachary J.|last=Foster|date=6 October 2015|website=Foreign Affairs}}</ref>
[[Bernard Lewis]] argues it was not as a Palestinian nation that the Arabs of Ottoman Palestine objected to Zionists, since the very concept of such a nation was unknown to the Arabs of the area at the time and did not come into being until very much later.

Israeli historian [[Efraim Karsh]] takes the view that the Palestinian identity did not develop until after the [[Six-Day War|1967 war]] because the Palestinian exodus/expulsion had fractured society so greatly that it was impossible to piece together a national identity. Between 1948 and 1967, the Jordanians and other Arab countries hosting Arab refugees from Palestine/Israel silenced any expression of Palestinian identity and occupied their lands until Israel's conquests of 1967. The formal annexation of the West Bank by Jordan in 1950, and the subsequent granting of its Palestinian residents Jordanian citizenship, further stunted the growth of a Palestinian national identity by integrating them into Jordanian society.<ref>[[Efraim Karsh|Karsh, Efraim]]. ''Arafat's War: The Man and His Battle for Israeli Conquest''. New York: Grove Press, 2003. p. 43. "Upon occupying the West Bank during the 1948 war, [[Abdullah I of Jordan|King Abdallah]] moved quickly to erase all traces of corporate Palestinian identity."</ref>
The idea of a unique Palestinian state distinct from its Arab neighbors was at first rejected by Palestinian representatives. The [[Palestine Arab Congress|First Congress]] of [[Muslim-Christian Associations]] (in [[Jerusalem]], February 1919), which met for the purpose of selecting a Palestinian Arab representative for the [[Paris Peace Conference, 1919|Paris Peace Conference]], adopted the following resolution: "We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, [[natural language|linguistic]], natural, economic and geographical bonds."<ref>{{cite book|title=Palestinian Arab National Movement: From Riots to Rebellion: 1929–1939, vol. 2|author=Yehoshua Porath|publisher=Frank Cass and Co., Ltd|year=1977|pages=81–82|author-link=Yehoshua Porath}}</ref>

An independent Palestinian state has not exercised full [[sovereignty]] over the land in which the Palestinians have lived during the modern era. Palestine was administered by the Ottoman Empire until World War I, and then overseen by the British Mandatory authorities. Israel was established in parts of Palestine in 1948, and in the wake of the [[1948 Arab–Israeli War]], [[Jordanian annexation of the West Bank|the West Bank was ruled by Jordan]], and the [[Occupation of the Gaza Strip by Egypt|Gaza Strip by Egypt]], with both countries continuing to administer these areas until [[Israeli-occupied territories|Israel occupied]] them in the [[Six-Day War]]. Historian [[Avi Shlaim]] states that the Palestinians' lack of sovereignty over the land has been used by Israelis to deny Palestinians their rights
to self-determination.<ref name=Attapatu>{{cite journal|date=16 June 2004|title=Interview With Middle East Scholar Avi Shlaim: America, Israel and the Middle East|journal=The Nation|author=Don Atapattu|url=http://www.thenation.com/article/interview-middle-east-scholar-avi-shlaim|access-date=9 March 2008|archive-date=13 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191113024502/https://www.thenation.com/article/interview-middle-east-scholar-avi-shlaim/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2004, the International Court of Justice said that Israel had recognized the existence of a "Palestinian people" and referred a number of times to the Palestinian people and its "legitimate rights" in international agreements. The Court said those rights include the right to self-determination(See paragraph 118 of Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory {{cite web |url=http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1671.pdf |title=Cour internationale de Justice – International Court of Justice | International Court of Justice |access-date=6 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100706021237/http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1671.pdf |archive-date=6 July 2010}}). Judge Koroma explained "The Court has also held that the right of self-determination as an established and recognized right under international law applies to the territory and to the Palestinian people. Accordingly, the exercise of such right entitles the Palestinian people to a State of their own as originally envisaged in resolution 181 (II) and subsequently confirmed." Judge Higgins also said "that the Palestinian people are entitled to their territory, to exercise self-determination, and to have their own State"(See paragraph 5, Separate opinion of Judge Koroma {{cite web |url=http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1679.pdf |title=Cour internationale de Justice – International Court of Justice | International Court of Justice |access-date=7 February 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604233639/http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1679.pdf |archive-date=4 June 2011}} and paragraph 18, Separate opinion of Judge Higgins {{cite web |url=http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1681.pdf |title=Cour internationale de Justice – International Court of Justice | International Court of Justice |access-date=7 February 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110112025712/http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1681.pdf |archive-date=12 January 2011}}).

===British Mandate (1917–1947)===
{{Main|Mandatory Palestine}}
The first Palestinian nationalist organizations emerged at the end of the [[World War I]].<ref>Benny Morris, ''Righteous Victims'', p. 48 in the French edition.</ref> Two political factions emerged. ''[[al-Muntada al-Adabi]]'', dominated by the [[Nashashibi]] family, militated for the promotion of the Arabic language and culture, for the defense of Islamic values and for an independent Syria and Palestine. In [[Damascus]], ''al-Nadi al-Arabi'', dominated by the [[Husayni]] family, defended the same values.<ref>[[Benny Morris]], ''Righteous Victims'', p.49 in the French edition.</ref>
Article 22 of The Covenant of the [[League of Nations]] conferred an international legal status upon the territories and people which had ceased to be under the sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire as part of a 'sacred trust of civilization'. Article 7 of the League of Nations Mandate required the establishment of a new, separate, Palestinian nationality for the inhabitants. This meant that Palestinians did not become British citizens, and that Palestine was not annexed into the British dominions.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GniaXe2wnRQC&pg=PA49 |title=International Law Reports: Cases 1938–1940, H.

Consequently, government censuses in 1922 and 1931 would categorize Palestinians confessionally as Muslims, Christians and Jews, with the category of Arab absent.<ref>Weldon Matthews, ''Confronting an Empire, Constructing a Nation,''I.B. Tauris, 2006, p. 33. Both Weldon Matthews and Prasenjit Duara interpret this aspect of the mandate system as tailored to the needs of imperial powers, which found it useful to avoid classifying colonies as nations: "This outlook was carried over to Palestine from India and Egypt where British administrators did not merely doubt the existence of a unifying national identity, but thwarted its development by creating sectarian institutions as a matter of policy."</ref>[[File:Musa Al-Alami 1918.jpg|thumb|[[Musa Alami]] (1897-1984) was a Palestinian nationalist and politician, viewed in the 1940s as the leader of the Palestinians|left]]
The articles of the Mandate mentioned the civil and religious rights of the non-Jewish communities in Palestine, but not their political status. At the [[San Remo conference]], it was decided to accept the text of those articles, while inserting in the minutes of the conference an undertaking by the Mandatory Power that this would not involve the surrender of any of the rights hitherto enjoyed by the non-Jewish communities in Palestine. In 1922, the British authorities over Mandatory Palestine proposed a draft constitution that would have granted the Palestinian Arabs representation in a Legislative Council on condition that they accept the terms of the mandate. The Palestine Arab delegation rejected the proposal as "wholly unsatisfactory", noting that "the People of Palestine" could not accept the inclusion of the Balfour Declaration in the constitution's preamble as the basis for discussions. They further took issue with the designation of Palestine as a British "colony of the lowest order."<ref>{{cite web|title=Correspondence with the Palestine Arab Delegation and the Zionist Organization |website=United Nations |date=21 February 1922 |access-date=1 August 2007 |url=http://domino.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/0145a8233e14d2b585256cbf005af141/48a7e5584ee1403485256cd8006c3fbe!OpenDocument |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071016050752/http://domino.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/0145a8233e14d2b585256cbf005af141/48a7e5584ee1403485256cd8006c3fbe%21OpenDocument |archive-date=16 October 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The Arabs tried to get the British to offer an Arab legal establishment again roughly ten years later, but to no avail.<ref name="Continuum">"Palestine Arabs."

After the British general, Louis Bols, read out the [[Balfour Declaration]] in February 1920, some 1,500 Palestinians demonstrated in the streets of Jerusalem.<ref name="HistoryOfPalestinianRevolts" />
A month later, during the 1920 Nebi Musa riots, the protests against British rule and Jewish immigration became violent and Bols banned all demonstrations. In May 1921 however, further anti-Jewish riots [[Jaffa riots|broke out in Jaffa]] and dozens of Arabs and Jews were killed in the confrontations.<ref name="HistoryOfPalestinianRevolts" />
After the [[1920 Nebi Musa riots]], the [[San Remo conference]] and the failure of [[Faisal I of Iraq|Faisal]] to establish the Kingdom of [[Greater Syria]], a distinctive form of Palestinian Arab nationalism took root between April and July 1920.<ref>[[Benny Morris]], ''Righteous Victims'', pp. 49–50 in the French edition.</ref><ref>[[Tom Segev]], ''One Palestine, Complete'', p. 139n.</ref> With the fall of the [[Ottoman Empire]] and the French conquest of [[Syria]], coupled with the British conquest and administration of Palestine, the formerly pan-Syrianist [[mayor of Jerusalem]], [[Musa Qasim Pasha al-Husayni]], said "Now, after the recent events in [[Damascus]], we have to effect a complete change in our plans here. Southern Syria no longer exists. We must defend Palestine".<ref>Khalidi, 1997, p. 165.</ref>
Conflict between Palestinian nationalists and various types of pan-Arabists continued during the British Mandate, but the latter became increasingly marginalized. Two prominent leaders of the Palestinian nationalists were [[Mohammad Amin al-Husayni]], Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, appointed by the British, and [[Izz ad-Din al-Qassam]].<ref name=HistoryOfPalestinianRevolts>{{cite web|title=The History of Palestinian Revolts|publisher=[[Al Jazeera]]|date=9 December 2003|access-date=17 August 2007|url=http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/9A489B74-6477-4E67-9C22-0F53A3CC9ADF.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051215061527/http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/9A489B74-6477-4E67-9C22-0F53A3CC9ADF.htm |archive-date=15 December 2005 }}</ref> After the killing of sheikh [[Izz ad-Din al-Qassam]] by the British in 1935, his followers initiated the [[1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine]], which began with a [[general strike]] in Jaffa and attacks on Jewish and British installations in [[Nablus]].<ref name=HistoryOfPalestinianRevolts/> The [[Arab Higher Committee]] called for a nationwide general strike, non-payment of taxes, and the closure of municipal governments, and demanded an end to Jewish immigration and a ban of the sale of land to Jews. By the end of 1936, the movement had become a national revolt, and resistance grew during 1937 and 1938. In response, the British declared [[martial law]], dissolved the Arab High Committee and arrested officials from the Supreme Muslim Council who were behind the revolt. By 1939, 5,000 Arabs had been killed in British attempts to quash the revolt; more than 15,000 were wounded.<ref name=HistoryOfPalestinianRevolts/>
===War (1947–1949)===

[[File:Abdel Kader al-Husseini.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.7|[[Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni]], leader of the [[Army of the Holy War]] in 1948]]
In November 1947, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] adopted the [[United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine|Partition Plan]], which divided the mandate of Palestine into two states: one majority Arab and one majority Jewish. The Palestinian Arabs rejected the plan and attacked Jewish civilian areas and paramilitary targets. Following [[Israeli Declaration of Independence|Israel's declaration of independence]] in May 1948, five Arab armies (Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Transjordan) came to the Palestinian Arabs' aid against the newly founded [[State of Israel]].<ref name="Milestones">[https://history.state.gov/milestones/1945-1952/arab-israeli-war "Milestones: 1945–1952."] ''Office of the Historian''. 7 December 2018.</ref>

==="Lost years" (1949–1967)===
After the war, there was a hiatus in Palestinian political activity. Khalidi attributes this to the traumatic events of 1947–49, which included the depopulation of over [[Depopulated Palestinian locations in Israel|400 towns and villages]] and the creation of hundreds of thousands of refugees.<ref name=Khalidi178>Khalidi, 1997, pp. 178–180.</ref> 418 villages had been razed, 46,367 buildings, 123 schools, 1,233 mosques, 8 churches and 68 holy shrines, many with a long history, destroyed by Israeli forces.<ref>Nurhan Abujidi, [https://books.google.com/books?id=AK_pAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT95 ''Urbicide in Palestine: Spaces of Oppression and Resilience,''] Routledge 2014 p.95.</ref> In addition, Palestinians lost from 1.5 to 2 million acres of land, an estimated 150,000 urban and rural homes, and 23,000 commercial structures such as shops and offices.<ref>[[Philip Mattar]], [https://books.google.com/books?id=GkbzYoZtaJMC&pg=PA329 ''The Encyclopedia of the Palestinians,''] InfoBase Publishing 2005 p.329.</ref> Recent estimates of the cost to Palestinians in property confiscations by Israel from 1948 onwards has concluded that Palestinians have suffered a net $300 billion loss in assets.<ref name=Anderson/>
Those parts of British Mandatory Palestine which did not become part of the newly declared Israeli state were occupied by Egypt or annexed by Jordan. At the [[Jericho Conference]] on 1 December 1948, 2,000 Palestinian delegates supported a resolution calling for "the unification of Palestine and Transjordan as a step toward full Arab unity".<ref>Benvenisti, Meron (1996), ''City of Stone: The Hidden History of Jerusalem'', University of California Press, {{ISBN|0-520-20521-9}}. 27</ref> During what Khalidi terms the "lost years" that followed, Palestinians lacked a center of gravity, divided as they were between these countries and others such as Syria, Lebanon, and elsewhere.<ref name=Khalidi179>Khalidi, 1997, p. 179.</ref>
In the 1950s, a new generation of Palestinian nationalist groups and movements began to organize clandestinely, stepping out onto the public stage in the 1960s.<ref name=Khalidi180>Khalidi, 1997, p. 180.</ref> The traditional Palestinian elite who had dominated negotiations with the British and the Zionists in the Mandate, and who were largely held responsible for the loss of Palestine, were replaced by these new movements whose recruits generally came from poor to middle-class backgrounds and were often students or recent graduates of universities in [[Cairo]], [[Beirut]] and Damascus.<ref name=Khalidi180/> The potency of the [[pan-Arabism|pan-Arabist]] ideology put forward by [[Gamal Abdel Nasser]]—popular among Palestinians for whom Arabism was already an important component of their identity<ref name=Khalidi182>Khalidi, 1997, p. 182.</ref>—tended to obscure the identities of the separate Arab states it subsumed.<ref name=Khalidi181>Khalidi, 1997, p. 181.</ref>
===1967–present===
{{see also|Six-Day War}}
Since 1967, Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have lived under military occupation, creating, according to Avram Bornstein, a [[prison|carceralization of their society]].<ref>Avram Bornstein, 'Military Occupation as Carceral Society: Prisons, Checkpoints, and Wall in the Israeli-Palestinian Struggle,' in Avram Bornstein, Paul E. Farmer (et al.)''An Anthropology Of War: Views from the Frontline,'' Berghahn Books, 2009 pp.106–130, p.108:'On the whole, the Israeli Occupation has created an increasing prison-like society for Palestinians'.</ref> In the meantime, pan-Arabism has waned as an aspect of Palestinian identity. The Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip and West Bank triggered a [[1967 Palestinian exodus|second Palestinian exodus]] and fractured Palestinian political and militant groups, prompting them to give up residual hopes in pan-Arabism. They rallied increasingly around the [[Palestine Liberation Organization]] (PLO), which had been formed in Cairo in 1964. The group grew in popularity in the following years, especially under the nationalistic orientation of the leadership of [[Yasser Arafat]].<ref name=plo1974>{{cite web|title=The PNC program of 1974|publisher=Mideastweb.org|date=8 June 1974|access-date=17 August 2007|url=http://www.mideastweb.org/plo1974.htm}}The PNC adopted the goal of establishing a national state in 1974.</ref> Mainstream [[secular]] Palestinian nationalism was grouped together under the umbrella of the PLO whose constituent organizations include [[Fatah]] and the [[Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine]], among other groups who at that time believed that [[Palestinian political violence|political violence]] was the only way to "liberate" Palestine.<ref name=Khalidip18/> These groups gave voice to a tradition that emerged in the 1960s that argues Palestinian nationalism has deep historical roots, with extreme advocates reading a Palestinian nationalist consciousness and identity back into the history of Palestine over the past few centuries, and even millennia, when such a consciousness is in fact relatively modern.<ref name=Khalidip.149n>Khalidi, 1997, p. 149. Khalidi writes: 'As with other national movements, extreme advocates of this view go further than this, and anachronistically read back into the history of Palestine over the past few centuries, and even millennia, a nationalist consciousness and identity that are in fact relatively modern.'</ref>[[File:Arafat in Jordan.jpg|thumb|[[Yasser Arafat]], [[Nayef Hawatmeh]] and [[Kamal Nasser]] in a Jordan press conference in Amman, 1970]]The [[Battle of Karameh]] and the events of [[Black September in Jordan]] contributed to growing Palestinian support for these groups, particularly among Palestinians in exile. Concurrently, among Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, a new ideological theme, known as ''[[sumud]]'', represented the Palestinian political strategy popularly adopted from 1967 onward. As a concept closely related to the land, agriculture and [[indigenous (people)|indigenousness]], the ideal image of the Palestinian put forward at this time was that of the peasant (in Arabic, ''[[fellah]]'') who stayed put on his land, refusing to leave. A strategy more passive than that adopted by the [[Palestinian fedayeen]], ''sumud'' provided an important subtext to the narrative of the fighters, "in symbolizing continuity and connections with the land, with peasantry and a rural way of life."<ref name="Schulzp105">Schulz and Hammer, 2003, p. 105.</ref>

In 1975, the United Nations established a subsidiary organ, the [[Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People]], to recommend a program of implementation to enable the Palestinian people to exercise national independence and their rights to self-determination without external interference, national independence and sovereignty, and to return to their homes and property.<ref>See Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People [https://www.un.org/Depts/dpa/qpal/committee_background.htm]</ref>

The [[First Intifada]] (1987–93) was the first popular uprising against the Israeli occupation of 1967. Followed by the PLO's 1988 proclamation of a [[State of Palestine]], these developments served to further reinforce the Palestinian national identity. After the [[Gulf War]] in 1991, Kuwaiti authorities forcibly pressured nearly 200,000 Palestinians to [[Palestinian exodus from Kuwait (Gulf War)|leave Kuwait]].<ref name=ppp>{{cite journal|url=http://www.meforum.org/3391/kuwait-expels-palestinians|title=Kuwait Expels Thousands of Palestinians|author=Steven J.

The [[Oslo Accords]], the first Israeli–Palestinian interim peace agreement, were signed in 1993. The process was envisioned to last five years, ending in June 1999, when the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and the Jericho area began. The expiration of this term without the recognition by Israel of the Palestinian State and without the effective termination of the occupation was followed by the [[Second Intifada]] in 2000.<ref>{{cite web|title=Report of the Independent Fact Finding Committee on Gaza: No Safe Place |url=http://www.arableagueonline.org/las/picture_gallery/reportfullFINAL.pdf |publisher=The League of Arab States |access-date=20 September 2010 |page=145 |date=30 April 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091013190358/http://www.arableagueonline.org/las/picture_gallery/reportfullFINAL.pdf |archive-date=13 October 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Palestine and the Palestinians: a social and political history|last1=Farsoun|first1=Samih|last2=Hasan Aruri|first2=Naseer|year=2006|publisher=Westview Press|page=275}}</ref> The second intifada was more violent than the first.<ref>{{cite book|last=Gordon|first=Neve|title=Israel's occupation|year=2008|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-25531-9|pages=198|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4RX7t4X8_RMC&pg=PA198}}</ref> The International Court of Justice observed that since the government of Israel had decided to recognize the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people, their existence was no longer an issue.

Following the failures of the Second Intifada, a younger generation is emerging that cares less about nationalist ideology than about economic growth. This has been a source of tension between some of the Palestinian political leadership and Palestinian business professionals who desire economic cooperation with Israelis. At an international conference in Bahrain, Palestinian businessman Ashraf Jabari said, "I have no problem working with Israel. It is time to move on. ... The Palestinian Authority does not want peace. They told the families of the businessmen that they are wanted [by police] for participating in the Bahrain workshop."<ref>[[Jeffrey Sonnenfeld|Sonnenfeld, Jeffrey]].

In the absence of a comprehensive census including all Palestinian diaspora populations, and those that have remained within what was [[Mandatory Palestine|British Mandate Palestine]], exact population figures are difficult to determine. The [[Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics]] (PCBS) announced at the end of 2015 that the number of Palestinians worldwide at the end of 2015 was 12.37 million of which the number still residing within historic Palestine was 6.22 million.<ref name="Maan1116">{{cite news |title=Palestinian population to exceed Jewish population by 2020 |url=http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=769606 |access-date=18 August 2022 |agency=[[Ma'an News Agency]] |date=1 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304071126/http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=769606 |archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref>
In 2005, a critical review of the PCBS figures and methodology was conducted by the American-Israel Demographic Research Group (AIDRG).<ref>[http://www.pademographics.com/ American-Israel Demographic Research Group (AIDRG)], is led by Bennett Zimmerman, Yoram Ettinger, Roberta Seid, and Michael L.

The PCBS numbers were cross-checked against a variety of other sources (e.g., asserted [[birth rates]] based on [[fertility]] rate assumptions for a given year were checked against Palestinian Ministry of Health figures as well as Ministry of Education school enrollment figures six years later; immigration numbers were checked against numbers collected at border crossings, etc.). The errors claimed in their analysis included: birth rate errors (308,000), immigration & emigration errors (310,000), failure to account for migration to Israel (105,000), double-counting [[Jerusalem]] Arabs (210,000), counting former residents now living abroad (325,000) and other discrepancies (82,000). The results of their research was also presented before the [[United States House of Representatives]] on 8 March 2006.<ref>Bennett Zimmerman, Roberta Seid, and Michael L.

He also accused AIDRG of selective use of data and multiple systematic errors in their analysis, claiming that the authors assumed the Palestinian Electoral registry to be complete even though registration is voluntary, and they used an unrealistically low Total Fertility Ratio (a statistical abstraction of births per woman) to reanalyse that data in a "typical circular mistake." DellaPergola estimated the Palestinian population of the West Bank and Gaza at the end of 2005 as 3.33 million, or 3.57 million if East Jerusalem is included. These figures are only slightly lower than the official Palestinian figures.<ref name=Azure/> The [[Israeli Civil Administration]] put the number of Palestinians in the West Bank at 2,657,029 as of May 2012.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.molad.org/en/articles/articlePrint.php?id=295|title=Molad Analysis - Wrong Number|website=www.molad.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.532703|title=How Many Palestinians Actually Live in the West Bank? – Diplomacy & Defense – Haaretz|work=Haaretz.com|date=30 June 2013|last1=Hasson|first1=Nir}}</ref>

Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and the West Bank are organized according to a refugee family's village or place of origin. Among the first things that children born in the camps learn is the name of their village of origin. David McDowall writes that, "[...] a yearning for Palestine permeates the whole refugee community and is most ardently espoused by the younger refugees, for whom home exists only in the imagination."<ref name=McDowall90>McDowall, 1989, p. 90.</ref>

[[Palestinian Christian]]s represent a significant minority of 6%, followed by much smaller [[Religion|religious]] communities, including Druze and Samaritans. [[Palestinian Jews]] – considered Palestinian by the [[Palestinian National Charter]] adopted by the PLO which defined them as those "Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the [[Zionism|Zionist]] invasion" – today identify as Israelis<ref>''Palestinians and Israel'' {{ISBN|0-470-35211-6}} p. 53</ref> (with the exception of a very few individuals). Palestinian Jews almost universally abandoned any such identity after the establishment of Israel and their incorporation into the [[Demographics of Israel|Israeli Jewish]] population, which was originally composed of [[Aliyah|Jewish immigrants]] from around the world.[[File:West Bank-46.jpg|thumb|Palestinian girls in [[Nablus]]]]Until the end of the 19th century, most Palestinian Muslim villages in the countryside did not have local [[mosque]]s. Cross-cultural [[syncretism]] between Christian and Islamic symbols and figures in religious practice was common.<ref name=Qleibo/> Popular feast days, like [[Thursday of the Dead]], were celebrated by both Muslims and Christians and shared prophets and saints include [[Jonah]], who is venerated in [[Halhul]] as both a Biblical and Islamic prophet, and [[St. George]], who is known in Arabic as [[Khidr|el-Khader]]. Villagers would pay tribute to local patron saints at [[Maqam (shrine)|maqams]] – domed single rooms often placed in the shadow of an ancient [[carob]] or [[Oak|oak tree]]; many of them are rooted in Jewish, Samaritan, Christian and sometimes [[Paganism|pagan]] traditions.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=R.

It is in worship at these shrines that the religion of the peasantry consists. Moslem by profession, they often spend their lives without entering a mosque, and attach more importance to the favour and protection of the village Mukam than to Allah himself, or to Mohammed his prophet...

{{main|Palestinian Arabic}}
[[File:Areen Omari.jpg|thumb |[[Areen Omari]], a Palestinian actress and producer, attends a motion picture ceremony]]Palestinian Arabic is a subgroup of the broader [[Levantine Arabic]] dialect. Prior to the 7th century Islamic Conquest and [[Arabization]] of the Levant, the primary languages spoken in Palestine, among the predominantly [[Palestinian Christian|Christian]] and [[Palestinian Jews|Jewish]] communities, were [[Aramaic]], [[Greek language|Greek]], and [[Syriac language|Syriac]].<ref>{{cite book|editor1=Robert Bonfil |editor2=Oded Irshai |editor3=Guy G.

Barbara McKean Parmenter has noted that the Arabs of Palestine have been credited with the preservation of the original [[place names in Palestine|Semitic place names]] of many sites mentioned in the Bible, as was documented by the American geographer [[Edward Robinson (scholar)|Edward Robinson]] in the 19th century.<ref name=Parmenter11>Parmenter, 1994, p. 11.</ref>

===Women and family===
{{main|Women in Palestine|Palestinian families}}
In the 19th and early 20th century, there were some well known Palestinian families, which included the [[Khalidi family]], the [[al-Husayni family]], the [[Nashashibi family]], the [[Tuqan family]], the [[Nusaybah family]], [[Qudwa]] family, [[Shawish clan]], [[Shurrab family]], Al-Zaghab family, [[Al-Khalil family]], [[Ridwan dynasty]], Al-Zeitawi family, [[Abu Ghosh clan]], [[Barghouti family]], [[Doghmush clan]], [[Douaihy]] family, [[Hilles clan]], [[Jarrar family]], and the [[Jayyusi family]]. Since various conflicts with Zionists began, some of the communities have subsequently left Palestine. The role of women varies among Palestinians, with both progressive and ultra-conservative opinions existing. Other groups of Palestinians, such as the [[Negev Bedouin]]s or [[Druze]] may no longer self-identify as Palestinian for political reasons.<ref>Second Class: Discrimination Against Palestinian Arab Children in Israel's Schools, p 8, 2001</ref>
==Culture==
{{Main|Culture of Palestine}}
{{See also|Arab-Israeli culture}}
Ali Qleibo, a Palestinian [[anthropologist]], has critiqued Muslim historiography for assigning the beginning of Palestinian cultural identity to the advent of Islam in the 7th century. In describing the effect of such historiography, he writes: <blockquote>[[Paganism|Pagan]] origins are disavowed. As such the peoples who populated Palestine throughout history have discursively rescinded their own history and religion as they adopted the religion, language, and culture of Islam.<ref name=Qleibo /></blockquote> That the peasant culture of the large [[fellahin]] class showed features of cultures other than Islam was a conclusion arrived at by some Western scholars and explorers who mapped and surveyed Palestine during the latter half of the 19th century,<ref>Parkes, 1970, pp. 209–210.</ref> and these ideas were to influence 20th-century debates on Palestinian identity by local and international ethnographers.
The contributions of the 'nativist' [[Ethnography|ethnographies]] produced by [[Tawfiq Canaan]] and other Palestinian writers and published in ''The Journal of the Palestine Oriental Society'' (1920–48) were driven by the concern that the "native culture of Palestine", and in particular peasant society, was being undermined by the forces of [[modernity]].<ref name=Tamari /> Salim Tamari writes that: <blockquote>Implicit in their scholarship (and made explicit by Canaan himself) was another theme, namely that the peasants of Palestine represent—through their folk norms ... the living heritage of all the accumulated ancient cultures that had appeared in Palestine (principally the Canaanite, Philistine, [[Hebrews|Hebraic]], [[Nabatean]], Syrio-Aramaic and Arab).<ref name=Tamari/></blockquote>
Palestinian culture is closely related to those of the nearby Levantine countries such as Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and the Arab World. Cultural contributions to the fields of [[art]], [[literature]], [[music]], [[costume]] and [[cuisine]] express the characteristics of the Palestinian experience and show signs of common origin despite the geographical separation between the [[Palestinian territories]], Israel and the diaspora.<ref name=Elmokadem>{{cite web|title=Book records Palestinian art history |author=Ismail Elmokadem |date=10 December 2005 |access-date=18 April 2008 |url=http://english.aljazeera.net/English/archive/archive?ArchiveId=17014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070419034952/http://english.aljazeera.net/English/archive/archive?ArchiveId=17014 |archive-date=19 April 2007 }}</ref><ref name=Moran>{{cite web|title=Manchester Festival of Palestinian Literature|publisher=Manchester Festival of Palestinian literature|url=http://www.fabrikation.co.uk/mlpf/about.html|author=Danny Moran|access-date=18 April 2008 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080331031413/http://www.fabrikation.co.uk/mlpf/about.html |archive-date = 31 March 2008}}</ref><ref>Regev Motti (1993), ''Oud and Guitar: The Musical Culture of the Arabs in Israel'' (Institute for Israeli Arab Studies, Beit Berl), {{ISBN|965-454-002-9}}, p. 4.</ref>

===Cuisine===
{{main|Palestinian cuisine}}
Palestine's history of rule by many different empires is reflected in Palestinian cuisine, which has benefited from various cultural contributions and exchanges. Generally speaking, modern Syrian-Palestinian dishes have been influenced by the rule of three major Islamic groups: the Arabs, the [[Persian cuisine|Persian]]-influenced Arabs and the [[Turkey|Turks]].<ref name=CDN>[http://www.thisweekinpalestine.com/details.php?id=1729&ed=115&edid=115 Revisiting our table...] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131127072800/http://www.thisweekinpalestine.com/details.php?id=1729&ed=115&edid=115 |date=27 November 2013 }} Nasser, Christiane Dabdoub, ''This week in Palestine'', Turbo Computers & Software Co.

There are several foods native to Palestine that are well known in the Arab world, such as, ''[[kanafeh|kinafe Nabulsi]]'', [[Nabulsi cheese]] (cheese of [[Nablus]]), [[Ackawi cheese]] (cheese of [[Acre, Israel|Acre]]) and ''[[musakhan]]''. ''Kinafe'' originated in Nablus, as well as the sweetened ''Nabulsi'' cheese used to fill it.{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} Another very popular food is Palestinian Kofta or Kufta.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.food.com/recipe/palestinian-kufta-373769|title=Palestinian Kufta Recipe - Food.com|website=www.food.com}}</ref>
[[Mezze]] describes an assortment of dishes laid out on the table for a meal that takes place over several hours, a characteristic common to [[Mediterranean]] cultures. Some common mezze dishes are ''[[hummus]]'', ''[[tabouleh]]'',''[[baba ghanoush]]'', ''[[labaneh]]'', and ''zate 'u [[zaatar]]'', which is the pita bread dipping of olive oil and ground [[thyme]] and [[sesame seeds]].<ref>''Once Upon a Time in Jerusalem'' {{ISBN|978-1-859-64323-5}} ch. 2</ref>
[[Entrée]]s that are eaten throughout the Palestinian territories, include ''[[dolma|waraq al-'inib]]'' – boiled [[grape leaves]] wrapped around cooked [[rice]] and ground [[domestic sheep|lamb]]. ''Mahashi'' is an assortment of stuffed vegetables such as, zucchinis, potatoes, cabbage and in Gaza, chard.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.palestine-family.net/index.php?nav=6-23&cid=10&did=2127|title=Palestine-Family.net – for the world-wide Palestine community|website=www.palestine-family.net}}</ref>

Foreign travelers to Palestine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries often commented on the rich variety of costumes among the area's inhabitants, and particularly among the [[fellaheen]] or village women. Until the 1940s, a woman's economic status, whether married or single, and the town or area they were from could be deciphered by most Palestinian women by the type of cloth, colors, cut, and [[embroidery]] motifs, or lack thereof, used for the robe-like dress or "thoub" in Arabic.<ref name=Aramco>{{cite magazine|title=Woven Legacy, Woven Language|author=Jane Waldron Grutz|magazine=Saudi Aramco World|date=January–February 1991|access-date=4 June 2007|url=http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/199101/woven.legacy.woven.language.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070219004053/http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/199101/woven.legacy.woven.language.htm|archive-date=19 February 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Palestinian literature forms part of the wider genre of [[Arabic literature]]. Unlike its Arabic counterparts, Palestinian literature is defined by national affiliation rather than territorially. For example, Egyptian literature is the literature produced in Egypt. This too was the case for Palestinian literature up to the [[1948 Arab-Israeli war]], but following the [[1948 Palestinian exodus|Palestinian Exodus]] of 1948 it has become "a literature written by Palestinians" regardless of their residential status.<ref name=Kochavi>{{cite web|title=Hebrew Translations of Palestinian Literature – from Total Denial to Partial Recognition|author=Hannah Amit-Kochavi|publisher=Beit Berl College, Israel|access-date=17 August 2007|url=http://www.erudit.org/revue/ttr/2000/v13/n1/037393ar.pdf}}</ref><ref name=Suleiman2006>{{cite book |editor-last1=Suleiman |editor-first1=Yasir |editor-last2=Muhawi |editor-first2=Ibrahim |editor-link2=Ibrahim Muhawi |title=Literature and Nation in the Middle East |publisher=Edinburgh University Press |year=2006 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=zlbtyGIZyZQC&q=%22palestinian+literature%22+%22arabic+literature%22+palestine&pg=PP6 |isbn=978-0-7486-2073-9}}</ref>

Since 1967, most critics have theorized the existence of three "branches" of Palestinian literature, loosely divided by geographic location: 1) from inside Israel, 2) from the [[Israeli-occupied territories|occupied territories]], 3) from among the [[Palestinian diaspora]] throughout the [[Middle East]].<ref name=Salaita>{{cite journal|title=Scattered like seeds: Palestinian prose goes global|author=Steven Salaita|date=1 June 2003|journal=Studies in the Humanities|access-date=6 September 2007|url=http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/summary_0199-17848_ITM}}</ref>
Hannah Amit-Kochavi recognizes only two branches: that written by Palestinians from inside the State of Israel as distinct from that written outside (ibid., p. 11).<ref name=Kochavi/> She also posits a temporal distinction between literature produced before 1948 and that produced thereafter.<ref name=Kochavi/> In a 2003 article published in ''Studies in the Humanities'', Steven Salaita posits a fourth branch made up of [[English language]] works, particularly those written by Palestinians in the [[United States]], which he defines as "writing rooted in diasporic countries but focused in theme and content on [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]]."<ref name=Salaita/>

Poetry, using classical pre-Islamic forms, remains an extremely popular art form, often attracting Palestinian audiences in the thousands. Until 20 years ago, local folk bards reciting traditional verses were a feature of every Palestinian town.<ref name=Shahin41>Shahin, 2005, p. 41.</ref> After the 1948 Palestinian exodus and discrimination by neighboring Arab countries, poetry was transformed into a vehicle for political activism.<ref name=Caplan/> From among those Palestinians who became [[Arab citizens of Israel]] after the passage of the Citizenship Law in 1952, a school of resistance poetry was born that included poets like [[Mahmoud Darwish]], [[Samih al-Qasim]], and [[Tawfiq Zayyad]].<ref name=Shahin41/> The work of these poets was largely unknown to the wider Arab world for years because of the lack of diplomatic relations between Israel and Arab governments. The situation changed after [[Ghassan Kanafani]], another Palestinian writer in exile in Lebanon, published an anthology of their work in 1966.<ref name=Shahin41/> Palestinian poets often write about the common theme of a strong affection and sense of loss and longing for a lost homeland.<ref name=Shahin41/> Among the new generation of Palestinian writers, the work of [[Nathalie Handal]] an award-winning poet, playwright, and editor has been widely published in literary journals and magazines and has been translated into twelve languages.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://imeu.net/news/article002665.shtml|title=Nathalie Handal: Poet and Playwright|author=IMEU|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130714071941/http://imeu.net/news/article002665.shtml|archive-date=14 July 2013}}</ref>

Palestinian folklore is the body of expressive culture, including tales, [[music]], [[dance]], [[legend]]s, [[oral history]], [[proverb]]s, jokes, popular beliefs, [[customs]], and comprising the traditions (including oral traditions) of Palestinian culture. There was a folklorist revival among Palestinian intellectuals such as Nimr Sirhan, Musa Allush, Salim Mubayyid, and the Palestinian [[Folklore]] Society during the 1970s. This group attempted to establish pre-Islamic (and pre-Hebraic) cultural roots for a re-constructed Palestinian national identity. The two putative roots in this patrimony are Canaanite and Jebusite.<ref name=Tamari /> Such efforts seem to have borne fruit as evidenced in the organization of celebrations like the [[Qabatiya]] Canaanite festival and the annual Music Festival of [[Jerusalem|Yabus]] by the Palestinian Ministry of Culture.<ref name=Tamari/>
Traditional storytelling among Palestinians is prefaced with an invitation to the listeners to give blessings to God and the Prophet Mohammed or the Virgin Mary as the case may be, and includes the traditional opening: "There was, or there was not, in the oldness of time..."<ref name=Shahin41/><ref name=Muhawi>Muhawi, 1989.</ref> Formulaic elements of the stories share much in common with the wider Arab world, though the rhyming scheme is distinct. There are a cast of supernatural characters: [[jinns|djinns]] who can cross the Seven Seas in an instant, giants, and ghouls with eyes of ember and teeth of brass. Stories invariably have a happy ending, and the storyteller will usually finish off with a rhyme like: "The bird has taken flight, God bless you tonight," or "Tutu, tutu, finished is my ''haduttu'' (story)."<ref name=Shahin41/>
===Music===

[[Palestinian music]] is well known throughout the Arab world.<ref name=Poche>{{cite web|title=Palestinian music|publisher=Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians|author=Christian Poche|url=http://phonoarchive.org/grove/Entries/S47332.htm|access-date=10 March 2008}}{{dead link|date=August 2020|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> After 1948, a new wave of performers emerged with distinctively Palestinian themes relating to dreams of statehood and burgeoning nationalist sentiments. In addition to ''[[zajal]]'' and ''[[ataaba]]'', traditional Palestinian songs include: ''Bein Al-dawai'', ''Al-Rozana'', ''Zarif – Al-Toul'', and ''Al-Maijana'', ''Dal'ona'', ''Sahja/Saamir'', ''Zaghareet''. Over three decades, the Palestinian National Music and Dance Troupe (El Funoun) and [[Mohsen Subhi]] have reinterpreted and rearranged traditional wedding songs such as ''Mish'al'' (1986), ''Marj Ibn 'Amer''(1989) and ''Zaghareed'' (1997).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.el-funoun.org/productions/zaghared.html |title=El-Funoun Palestinian Popular Dance Troupe |access-date=24 August 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090105201604/http://www.el-funoun.org/productions/zaghared.html |archive-date=5 January 2009 }}</ref> ''Ataaba'' is a form of folk singing that consists of four verses, following a specific form and meter. The distinguishing feature of ataaba is that the first three verses end with the same word meaning three different things, and the fourth verse serves as a conclusion. It is usually followed by a ''[[dalouna]]''.
[[Reem Kelani]] is one of the foremost researchers and performers in the present day of music with a specifically Palestinian narrative and heritage.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.globalrhythm.net/WorldMusicCDReviews/MiddleEastNorthAfrica/ReemKelani.cfm|title=Middle East & North Africa Reem Kelani World Music at Global Rhythm – The Destination for World Music|access-date=3 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140311194619/http://www.globalrhythm.net/WorldMusicCDReviews/MiddleEastNorthAfrica/ReemKelani.cfm|archive-date=11 March 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> Her 2006 debut solo album ''Sprinting Gazelle – Palestinian Songs from the Motherland and the Diaspora'' comprised Kelani's research and an arrangement of five traditional Palestinian songs, whilst the other five songs were her own musical settings of popular and resistance poetry by the likes of Mahmoud Darwish, [[Salma Khadra Jayyusi]], [[Rashid Hussein|Rashid Husain]] and Mahmoud Salim al-Hout.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://reemkelani.com/album.asp|title=Reem Kelani|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207110028/http://reemkelani.com/album.asp|archive-date=7 December 2013}}</ref> All the songs on the album relate to 'pre-1948 Palestine'.
====Palestinian hip hop====
{{main|Palestinian hip hop}}
[[Palestinian hip hop]] reportedly started in 1998 with [[Tamer Nafar]]'s group [[DAM (band)|DAM]].<ref>{{cite news|first=Dion |last=Nissenbaum |title='Palestinians' embracing hip-hop to push 'perspective of the victims' |date=29 September 2005 |url=http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0905/arab_hip-hop.php3 |work=Jewish World Review |access-date=25 April 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070816154001/http://jewishworldreview.com/0905/arab_hip-hop.php3 |archive-date=16 August 2007 }}</ref> These Palestinian youth forged the new Palestinian musical subgenre, which blends [[Arabic music|Arabic melodies]] and [[hip hop]] beats. Lyrics are often sung in [[Arabic]], [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], English, and sometimes French. Since then, the new Palestinian musical subgenre has grown to include artists in the Palestinian territories, Israel, Great Britain, the United States and Canada.[[File:DJ Khaled 2012 (cropped).jpg|thumb|American radio personality and record producer [[DJ Khaled]], of Palestinian descent]]Borrowing from [[old school hip-hop|traditional rap music]] that first emerged in New York in the 1970s, "young Palestinian musicians have tailored the style to express their own grievances with the social and political climate in which they live and work." Palestinian hip hop works to challenge [[stereotype]]s and instigate dialogue about the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://angelingo.usc.edu/issue03/politics/a_palhiphop.php |title=Palestinian Conflict Bounces to a New Beat |access-date=25 April 2007 |last=El-Sabawi |first=Taleed |year=2005 |work=Angelingo |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050418192423/http://angelingo.usc.edu/issue03/politics/a_palhiphop.php |archive-date=18 April 2005 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Palestinian hip-hop artists have been strongly influenced by the messages of American rappers. Tamar Nafar says, "When I heard Tupac sing 'It's a White Man's World' I decided to take hip hop seriously".<ref name=Maira>{{cite journal|last=Maira|first=Sunaina|title=We Ain't Missing: Palestinian Hip Hop – A Transnational Youth Movement|journal=CR: The New Centennial Review|year=2008|volume=8|issue=2|pages=161–192|doi=10.1353/ncr.0.0027|s2cid=144998198}}</ref> In addition to the influences from American hip hop, it also includes musical elements from Palestinian and Arabic music including "zajal, mawwal, and saj" which can be likened to Arabic spoken word, as well as including the percussiveness and lyricism of Arabic music.
Historically, music has served as an integral accompaniment to various social and religious rituals and ceremonies in Palestinian society (Al-Taee 47). Much of the Middle-Eastern and Arabic string instruments utilized in classical Palestinian music are sampled over Hip-hop beats in both Israeli and Palestinian hip-hop as part of a joint process of localization. Just as the percussiveness of the Hebrew language is emphasized in Israeli Hip-hop, Palestinian music has always revolved around the rhythmic specificity and smooth melodic tone of Arabic. "Musically speaking, Palestinian songs are usually pure melody performed monophonically with complex vocal ornamentations and strong percussive rhythm beats".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Al-Taee |first1=Nasser |year=2002 |title=Voices of Peace and the Legacy of Reconciliation: Popular Music, Nationalism, and the Quest for Peace in the Middle East |journal=Popular Music |volume=21 |pages=41–61 |doi=10.1017/s0261143002002039|s2cid=56388670 }}</ref> The presence of a hand-drum in classical Palestinian music indicates a cultural esthetic conducive to the vocal, verbal and instrumental percussion which serve as the foundational elements of Hip-hop. This hip hop is joining a "longer tradition of revolutionary, underground, Arabic music and political songs that have supported Palestinian Resistance".<ref name=Maira/> This subgenre has served as a way to politicize the Palestinian issue through music.
====Dance====
The [[Dabke]], a Levantine Arab folk dance style whose local Palestinian versions were appropriated by Palestinian nationalism after [[Six-Day War|1967]], has, according to one scholar, possible roots that may go back to ancient [[Canaan]]ite fertility rites.<ref name=Canaan>{{cite book|last=Kaschl|first=Elke|title=Dance and Authenticity in Israel and Palestine: Performing the Nation|date=2003|publisher=BRILL|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OfRAsefaeVEC&pg=PA82|pages=71–82|isbn=978-9004132382}}</ref> It is marked by synchronized jumping, stamping, and movement, similar to tap dancing. One version is performed by men, another by women.

===Sport===
{{main|Sport in Palestine}}
Although sport facilities did exist before the [[1948 Palestinian exodus]], many such facilities and institutions were subsequently shut down. Today there remains sport centers such as in Gaza and Ramallah, but the difficulty of mobility and travel restrictions means most Palestinian are not able to compete internationally to their full potential. However, Palestinian sport authorities have indicated that Palestinians in the diaspora will be eligible to compete for Palestine once the diplomatic and security situation improves.

"the word 'Arab' needs to be used with care. It is applicable to the Bedouin and to a section of the urban and effendi classes; it is inappropriate as a description of the rural mass of the population, the fellaheen. The whole population spoke Arabic, usually corrupted by dialects bearing traces of words of other origin, but it was only the Bedouin who habitually thought of themselves as Arabs. Western travelers from the sixteenth century onwards make the same distinction, and the word 'Arab' almost always refers to them exclusively.... Gradually it was realized that there remained a substantial stratum of the pre-Israelite peasantry, and that the oldest element among the peasants were not 'Arabs' in the sense of having entered the country with or after the conquerors of the seventh century, had been there already when the Arabs came."</ref>

The [[Greek language|Greek]] toponym ''Palaistínē'' (Παλαιστίνη), which is the origin of the [[Arabic]] ''Filasṭīn'' (فلسطين), first occurs in the work of the 5th century BCE [[Ancient Greece|Greek]] historian [[Herodotus]], where it denotes generally<ref name="Exception">With the exception of Bks. 1, 105; 3.91.1, and 4.39, 2.</ref> the coastal land from [[Phoenicia]] down to [[Egypt]].<ref name="Herodotus1">[[Herodotus]] describes its scope in the Fifth Satrapy of the Persians as follows: "From the town of Posidium, [...] on the border between [[Cilicia]] and Syria, as far as [[Egypt]] – omitting Arabian territory, which was free of tax, came 350 talents. This province contains the whole of Phoenicia and that part of Syria which is called Palestine, and Cyprus. This is the fifth Satrapy."

Quote: "First coined in 1881 by the French Egyptologist G. Maspero (1896), the somewhat misleading term "Sea Peoples" encompasses the ethnonyms Lukka, Sherden, Shekelesh, Teresh, Eqwesh, Denyen, Sikil / Tjekker, Weshesh, and Peleset (Philistines). [Footnote: The modern term "Sea Peoples" refers to peoples that appear in several New Kingdom Egyptian texts as originating from "islands" (tables 1–2; Adams and Cohen, this volume; see, e.g., [[Robert Drews|Drews]] 1993, 57 for a summary). The use of quotation marks in association with the term "Sea Peoples" in our title is intended to draw attention to the problematic nature of this commonly used term. It is noteworthy that the designation "of the sea" appears only in relation to the Sherden, Shekelesh, and Eqwesh. Subsequently, this term was applied somewhat indiscriminately to several additional ethnonyms, including the Philistines, who are portrayed in their earliest appearance as invaders from the north during the reigns of Merenptah and Ramesses Ill (see, e.g., Sandars 1978; Redford 1992, 243, n. 14; for a recent review of the primary and secondary literature, see Woudhuizen 2006).

Yet in the inscriptions themselves such a migration nowhere appears. After reviewing what the Egyptian texts have to say about 'the sea peoples', one Egyptologist (Wolfgang Helck) recently remarked that although some things are unclear, "eins ist aber sicher: Nach den ägyptischen Texten haben wir es nicht mit einer "Völkerwanderung" zu tun." ("one thing is clear: according to the Egyptian texts, we are not dealing here with a '[[Migration Period|Völkerwanderung]]' [migration of peoples as in 4th–6th-century Europe].")

When the [[Ancient Rome|Romans]] conquered the region in the first century BCE, they used the name [[Judaea (Roman province)|Judaea]] for the province that covered most of the region.

==Origins==
{{main|Origin of the Palestinians|Demographic history of Palestine (region)}}[[File:Khalil Raad, Palestinian mother and child, 1918-1938.jpg|thumb|Palestinian mother and child]]The origins of Palestinians are complex and diverse. The region was not originally [[Arabs|Arab]] – its [[Arabization]] was a consequence of the gradual inclusion of Palestine within the rapidly expanding [[Caliphate|Islamic Caliphates]] established by Arabian tribes and their local allies. Like in other "Arabized" Arab nations, the [[Arab identity]] of Palestinians, largely based on [[Arabic|linguistic]] and [[Arab culture|cultural]] affiliation, is independent of the existence of any actual Arabian origins.
Palestine has undergone many demographic and religious upheavals throughout history.

===Emergence of a distinct identity===
The timing and causes behind the emergence of a distinctively Palestinian national consciousness among the Arabs of Palestine are matters of scholarly disagreement. Some argue that it can be traced as far back as the [[peasants' revolt in Palestine]] in 1834 (or even as early as the 17th century), while others argue that it did not emerge until after the Mandatory Palestine period.<ref name="Likhovski" /><ref name="Sorek" /> Legal historian Assaf Likhovski states that the prevailing view is that Palestinian identity originated in the early decades of the 20th century,<ref name="Likhovski">{{cite book |last= Likhovski |first=Assaf |title=Law and identity in mandate Palestine |year=2006 |publisher=The University of North Carolina Press |isbn=978-0-8078-3017-8 |page=174 }}</ref> when an embryonic desire among Palestinians for self-government in the face of generalized fears that [[Zionism]] would lead to a [[Jewish state]] and the dispossession of the Arab majority crystallised among most editors, Christian and Muslim, of local newspapers.<ref>Rashid Khalidi,"Palestinian Identity", [https://books.google.com/books?id=YDPKFyZ38qsC&pg=PA143 pp.117ff, p.142].</ref> The term itself ''Filasṭīnī'' was first introduced by [[Khalil Beidas|Khalīl Beidas]] in a translation of a Russian work on the Holy Land into Arabic in 1898. After that, its usage gradually spread so that, by 1908, with the loosening of censorship controls under late Ottoman rule, a number of Muslim, Christian and Jewish correspondents writing for newspapers began to use the term with great frequency in referring to the 'Palestinian people'(''ahl/ahālī Filasṭīn''), 'Palestinians' (''al-Filasṭīnīyūn'') the 'sons of Palestine(''abnā’ Filasṭīn'') or to 'Palestinian society',(''al-mujtama' al-filasṭīnī'').<ref name="ZachBeška">Zachary J Foster, Emanuel Beška,[https://www.academia.edu/49925414/The_Origins_of_the_term_Palestinian_Filasṭīnī_in_late_Ottoman_Palestine_1898_1914?email_work_card=view-paper 'The Origins of the term “Palestinian” (“Filasṭīnī”) in late Ottoman Palestine, 1898–1914,'] ''Academic Letters 2021 pp.1-22''</ref>[[File:Coat of arms of Palestine.svg|thumb|upright|left|[[Saladin]]'s Falcon, the [[Coat of arms of Palestine|coat of arms]] and emblem of the [[Palestinian Authority]]]]
Whatever the differing viewpoints over the timing, causal mechanisms, and orientation of Palestinian nationalism, by the early 20th century strong opposition to Zionism and evidence of a burgeoning nationalistic Palestinian identity is found in the content of Arabic-language newspapers in Palestine, such as ''[[Al-Karmil (newspaper)|Al-Karmil]]'' (est. 1908) and ''[[Filastin (newspaper)|Filasteen]]'' (est. 1911).<ref name=Khalidip124>Khalidi, 1997, pp. 124–127.</ref> Filasteen initially focused its critique of Zionism around the failure of the Ottoman administration to control Jewish immigration and the large influx of foreigners, later exploring the impact of Zionist land-purchases on Palestinian peasants ({{lang-ar|فلاحين}}, ''[[fellahin]]''), expressing growing concern over land dispossession and its implications for the society at large.<ref name=Khalidip124/>
Historian [[Rashid Khalidi]]'s 1997 book ''Palestinian Identity: The Construction of Modern National Consciousness'' is considered a "foundational text" on the subject.<ref>[https://cup.columbia.edu/book/palestinian-identity/9780231150743 "Palestinian Identity – The ...."] ''Columbia University Press''. 10 December 2018.</ref> He notes that the archaeological strata that denote the history of [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] – encompassing the [[Biblical]], [[Ancient Rome|Roman]], [[Byzantine]], [[Umayyad]], [[Abbasid]], [[Fatimid]], [[Crusade]]r, [[Ayyubid]], [[Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo)|Mamluk]] and [[Ottoman empire|Ottoman]] periods – form part of the identity of the modern-day Palestinian people, as they have come to understand it over the last century.<ref name=Khalidip18>[[Rashid Khalidi]], [https://books.google.com/books?id=YDPKFyZ38qsC&pg=PA18 ''Palestinian Identity: The Construction of Modern National Consciousness,''] New York: Columbia University Press, 2010, p. 18.</ref> Noting that Palestinian identity has never been an exclusive one, with "Arabism, religion, and local loyalties" playing an important role, Khalidi cautions against the efforts of some extreme advocates of Palestinian nationalism to "anachronistically" read back into history a nationalist consciousness that is in fact "relatively modern".<ref>Khalidi, 2010, [https://books.google.com/books?id=YDPKFyZ38qsC&pg=PA149 p. 149].</ref><ref name=Khalidip19>Khalidi, 1997, pp. 19–21.</ref>
Khalidi argues that the modern national identity of Palestinians has its roots in [[nationalism|nationalist]] discourses that emerged among the peoples of the [[Ottoman empire]] in the late 19th century that sharpened following the demarcation of modern nation-state boundaries in the [[Middle East]] after [[World War I]].<ref name=Khalidip19/> Khalidi also states that although the challenge posed by [[Zionism]] played a role in shaping this identity, that "it is a serious mistake to suggest that Palestinian identity emerged mainly as a response to Zionism."<ref name=Khalidip19/>

All nationalisms arise in opposition to some 'other.' Why else would there be the need to specify who you are? And all nationalisms are defined by what they oppose."<ref name = "Gelvin 92" />
David Seddon writes that "[t]he creation of Palestinian identity in its contemporary sense was formed essentially during the 1960s, with the creation of the Palestine Liberation Organization." He adds, however, that "the existence of a population with a recognizably similar name ('the Philistines') in Biblical times suggests a degree of continuity over a long historical period (much as 'the Israelites' of the Bible suggest a long historical continuity in the same region)."<ref>David Seddon (ed.)''A political and economic dictionary of the Middle East,'' Taylor & Francis, 2004. p. 532.</ref>
[[Baruch Kimmerling]] and Joel S. Migdal consider the 1834 [[Peasants' revolt in Palestine]] as constituting the first formative event of the Palestinian people. From 1516 to 1917, Palestine was ruled by the [[Ottoman Empire]] save a decade from the 1830s to the 1840s when an Egyptian vassal of the Ottomans, [[Muhammad Ali of Egypt|Muhammad Ali]], and his son [[Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt|Ibrahim Pasha]] successfully broke away from Ottoman leadership and, conquering territory spreading from Egypt to as far north as Damascus, asserted their own rule over the area. The so-called [[Peasants' Revolt of 1834 (Palestine)|Peasants' Revolt]] by Palestine's Arabs was precipitated by heavy demands for conscripts. The local leaders and urban notables were unhappy about the loss of traditional privileges, while the peasants were well aware that conscription was little more than a death sentence. Starting in May 1834 the rebels took many cities, among them [[Jerusalem]], [[Hebron]] and [[Nablus]] and Ibrahim Pasha's army was deployed, defeating the last rebels on 4 August in Hebron.<ref name=Kimmerling6>Kimmerling and Migdal, 2003, p. 6–11</ref> [[Benny Morris]] argues that the Arabs in Palestine nevertheless remained part of a larger national [[pan-Arab]] or, alternatively, pan-Islamist movement.<ref>[[Benny Morris]], ''Righteous Victims'', pp.40–42 in the French edition.</ref> [[Walid Khalidi]] argues otherwise, writing that Palestinians in [[Ottoman empire|Ottoman]] times were "[a]cutely aware of the distinctiveness of Palestinian history ..." and "[a]lthough proud of their Arab heritage and ancestry, the Palestinians considered themselves to be descended not only from Arab conquerors of the seventh century but also from [[indigenous peoples]] who had lived in the country since time immemorial, including the ancient [[Hebrews]] and the [[Canaanites]] before them."<ref name=WKhalidi32>Khalidi, W., 1984, p. 32</ref>

Foster argued in a 2015 ''Foreign Affairs'' article that "based on hundreds of manuscripts, Islamic court records, books, magazines, and newspapers from the Ottoman period (1516–1918), it seems that the first Arab to use the term "Palestinian" was Farid Georges Kassab, a Beirut-based Orthodox Christian." He explained further that Kassab's 1909 book ''Palestine, Hellenism, and Clericalism'' noted in passing that "the Orthodox Palestinian Ottomans call themselves Arabs, and are in fact Arabs," despite describing the Arabic speakers of Palestine as Palestinians throughout the rest of the book."<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/middle-east/2015-03-11/whats-palestinian|title=What's a Palestinian?|first=Zachary J.|last=Foster|date=6 October 2015|website=Foreign Affairs}}</ref>
[[Bernard Lewis]] argues it was not as a Palestinian nation that the Arabs of Ottoman Palestine objected to Zionists, since the very concept of such a nation was unknown to the Arabs of the area at the time and did not come into being until very much later.

Israeli historian [[Efraim Karsh]] takes the view that the Palestinian identity did not develop until after the [[Six-Day War|1967 war]] because the Palestinian exodus/expulsion had fractured society so greatly that it was impossible to piece together a national identity. Between 1948 and 1967, the Jordanians and other Arab countries hosting Arab refugees from Palestine/Israel silenced any expression of Palestinian identity and occupied their lands until Israel's conquests of 1967. The formal annexation of the West Bank by Jordan in 1950, and the subsequent granting of its Palestinian residents Jordanian citizenship, further stunted the growth of a Palestinian national identity by integrating them into Jordanian society.<ref>[[Efraim Karsh|Karsh, Efraim]]. ''Arafat's War: The Man and His Battle for Israeli Conquest''. New York: Grove Press, 2003. p. 43. "Upon occupying the West Bank during the 1948 war, [[Abdullah I of Jordan|King Abdallah]] moved quickly to erase all traces of corporate Palestinian identity."</ref>
The idea of a unique Palestinian state distinct from its Arab neighbors was at first rejected by Palestinian representatives. The [[Palestine Arab Congress|First Congress]] of [[Muslim-Christian Associations]] (in [[Jerusalem]], February 1919), which met for the purpose of selecting a Palestinian Arab representative for the [[Paris Peace Conference, 1919|Paris Peace Conference]], adopted the following resolution: "We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, [[natural language|linguistic]], natural, economic and geographical bonds."<ref>{{cite book|title=Palestinian Arab National Movement: From Riots to Rebellion: 1929–1939, vol. 2|author=Yehoshua Porath|publisher=Frank Cass and Co., Ltd|year=1977|pages=81–82|author-link=Yehoshua Porath}}</ref>

An independent Palestinian state has not exercised full [[sovereignty]] over the land in which the Palestinians have lived during the modern era. Palestine was administered by the Ottoman Empire until World War I, and then overseen by the British Mandatory authorities. Israel was established in parts of Palestine in 1948, and in the wake of the [[1948 Arab–Israeli War]], [[Jordanian annexation of the West Bank|the West Bank was ruled by Jordan]], and the [[Occupation of the Gaza Strip by Egypt|Gaza Strip by Egypt]], with both countries continuing to administer these areas until [[Israeli-occupied territories|Israel occupied]] them in the [[Six-Day War]]. Historian [[Avi Shlaim]] states that the Palestinians' lack of sovereignty over the land has been used by Israelis to deny Palestinians their rights
to self-determination.<ref name=Attapatu>{{cite journal|date=16 June 2004|title=Interview With Middle East Scholar Avi Shlaim: America, Israel and the Middle East|journal=The Nation|author=Don Atapattu|url=http://www.thenation.com/article/interview-middle-east-scholar-avi-shlaim|access-date=9 March 2008|archive-date=13 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191113024502/https://www.thenation.com/article/interview-middle-east-scholar-avi-shlaim/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
Today, the right of the Palestinian people to [[self-determination]] has been affirmed by the [[United Nations General Assembly]], the [[International Court of Justice]]<ref name=ICJ>Only "peoples" are entitled to self-determination in contemporary international law (See Self-determination and National Minorities, Oxford Monographs in International Law, Thomas D. Musgrave, Oxford University Press, 1997, {{ISBN|0-19-829898-6}}, p. 170). In 2004, the International Court of Justice said that Israel had recognized the existence of a "Palestinian people" and referred a number of times to the Palestinian people and its "legitimate rights" in international agreements. The Court said those rights include the right to self-determination(See paragraph 118 of Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory {{cite web |url=http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1671.pdf |title=Cour internationale de Justice – International Court of Justice | International Court of Justice |access-date=6 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100706021237/http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1671.pdf |archive-date=6 July 2010}}). Judge Koroma explained "The Court has also held that the right of self-determination as an established and recognized right under international law applies to the territory and to the Palestinian people. Accordingly, the exercise of such right entitles the Palestinian people to a State of their own as originally envisaged in resolution 181 (II) and subsequently confirmed." Judge Higgins also said "that the Palestinian people are entitled to their territory, to exercise self-determination, and to have their own State"(See paragraph 5, Separate opinion of Judge Koroma {{cite web |url=http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1679.pdf |title=Cour internationale de Justice – International Court of Justice | International Court of Justice |access-date=7 February 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604233639/http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1679.pdf |archive-date=4 June 2011}} and paragraph 18, Separate opinion of Judge Higgins {{cite web |url=http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1681.pdf |title=Cour internationale de Justice – International Court of Justice | International Court of Justice |access-date=7 February 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110112025712/http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/131/1681.pdf |archive-date=12 January 2011}}).

It affirmed the applicability of the prohibition of acquisition of Palestinian territory by Israel and confirmed the illegality of the Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Moreover, the existence of the Palestinian people as the rightful claimant to the Occupied Palestinian Territory is no longer open to question (See De Waart, Paul J. I.

===British Mandate (1917–1947)===
{{Main|Mandatory Palestine}}
The first Palestinian nationalist organizations emerged at the end of the [[World War I]].<ref>Benny Morris, ''Righteous Victims'', p. 48 in the French edition.</ref> Two political factions emerged. ''[[al-Muntada al-Adabi]]'', dominated by the [[Nashashibi]] family, militated for the promotion of the Arabic language and culture, for the defense of Islamic values and for an independent Syria and Palestine. In [[Damascus]], ''al-Nadi al-Arabi'', dominated by the [[Husayni]] family, defended the same values.<ref>[[Benny Morris]], ''Righteous Victims'', p.49 in the French edition.</ref>
Article 22 of The Covenant of the [[League of Nations]] conferred an international legal status upon the territories and people which had ceased to be under the sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire as part of a 'sacred trust of civilization'. Article 7 of the League of Nations Mandate required the establishment of a new, separate, Palestinian nationality for the inhabitants. This meant that Palestinians did not become British citizens, and that Palestine was not annexed into the British dominions.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GniaXe2wnRQC&pg=PA49 |title=International Law Reports: Cases 1938–1940, H.

Consequently, government censuses in 1922 and 1931 would categorize Palestinians confessionally as Muslims, Christians and Jews, with the category of Arab absent.<ref>Weldon Matthews, ''Confronting an Empire, Constructing a Nation,''I.B. Tauris, 2006, p. 33. Both Weldon Matthews and Prasenjit Duara interpret this aspect of the mandate system as tailored to the needs of imperial powers, which found it useful to avoid classifying colonies as nations: "This outlook was carried over to Palestine from India and Egypt where British administrators did not merely doubt the existence of a unifying national identity, but thwarted its development by creating sectarian institutions as a matter of policy."</ref>[[File:Musa Al-Alami 1918.jpg|thumb|[[Musa Alami]] (1897-1984) was a Palestinian nationalist and politician, viewed in the 1940s as the leader of the Palestinians|left]]
The articles of the Mandate mentioned the civil and religious rights of the non-Jewish communities in Palestine, but not their political status. At the [[San Remo conference]], it was decided to accept the text of those articles, while inserting in the minutes of the conference an undertaking by the Mandatory Power that this would not involve the surrender of any of the rights hitherto enjoyed by the non-Jewish communities in Palestine. In 1922, the British authorities over Mandatory Palestine proposed a draft constitution that would have granted the Palestinian Arabs representation in a Legislative Council on condition that they accept the terms of the mandate. The Palestine Arab delegation rejected the proposal as "wholly unsatisfactory", noting that "the People of Palestine" could not accept the inclusion of the Balfour Declaration in the constitution's preamble as the basis for discussions. They further took issue with the designation of Palestine as a British "colony of the lowest order."<ref>{{cite web|title=Correspondence with the Palestine Arab Delegation and the Zionist Organization |website=United Nations |date=21 February 1922 |access-date=1 August 2007 |url=http://domino.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/0145a8233e14d2b585256cbf005af141/48a7e5584ee1403485256cd8006c3fbe!OpenDocument |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071016050752/http://domino.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/0145a8233e14d2b585256cbf005af141/48a7e5584ee1403485256cd8006c3fbe%21OpenDocument |archive-date=16 October 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The Arabs tried to get the British to offer an Arab legal establishment again roughly ten years later, but to no avail.<ref name="Continuum">"Palestine Arabs."

After the British general, Louis Bols, read out the [[Balfour Declaration]] in February 1920, some 1,500 Palestinians demonstrated in the streets of Jerusalem.<ref name="HistoryOfPalestinianRevolts" />
A month later, during the 1920 Nebi Musa riots, the protests against British rule and Jewish immigration became violent and Bols banned all demonstrations. In May 1921 however, further anti-Jewish riots [[Jaffa riots|broke out in Jaffa]] and dozens of Arabs and Jews were killed in the confrontations.<ref name="HistoryOfPalestinianRevolts" />
After the [[1920 Nebi Musa riots]], the [[San Remo conference]] and the failure of [[Faisal I of Iraq|Faisal]] to establish the Kingdom of [[Greater Syria]], a distinctive form of Palestinian Arab nationalism took root between April and July 1920.<ref>[[Benny Morris]], ''Righteous Victims'', pp. 49–50 in the French edition.</ref><ref>[[Tom Segev]], ''One Palestine, Complete'', p. 139n.</ref> With the fall of the [[Ottoman Empire]] and the French conquest of [[Syria]], coupled with the British conquest and administration of Palestine, the formerly pan-Syrianist [[mayor of Jerusalem]], [[Musa Qasim Pasha al-Husayni]], said "Now, after the recent events in [[Damascus]], we have to effect a complete change in our plans here. Southern Syria no longer exists. We must defend Palestine".<ref>Khalidi, 1997, p. 165.</ref>
Conflict between Palestinian nationalists and various types of pan-Arabists continued during the British Mandate, but the latter became increasingly marginalized. Two prominent leaders of the Palestinian nationalists were [[Mohammad Amin al-Husayni]], Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, appointed by the British, and [[Izz ad-Din al-Qassam]].<ref name=HistoryOfPalestinianRevolts>{{cite web|title=The History of Palestinian Revolts|publisher=[[Al Jazeera]]|date=9 December 2003|access-date=17 August 2007|url=http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/9A489B74-6477-4E67-9C22-0F53A3CC9ADF.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051215061527/http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/9A489B74-6477-4E67-9C22-0F53A3CC9ADF.htm |archive-date=15 December 2005 }}</ref> After the killing of sheikh [[Izz ad-Din al-Qassam]] by the British in 1935, his followers initiated the [[1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine]], which began with a [[general strike]] in Jaffa and attacks on Jewish and British installations in [[Nablus]].<ref name=HistoryOfPalestinianRevolts/> The [[Arab Higher Committee]] called for a nationwide general strike, non-payment of taxes, and the closure of municipal governments, and demanded an end to Jewish immigration and a ban of the sale of land to Jews. By the end of 1936, the movement had become a national revolt, and resistance grew during 1937 and 1938. In response, the British declared [[martial law]], dissolved the Arab High Committee and arrested officials from the Supreme Muslim Council who were behind the revolt. By 1939, 5,000 Arabs had been killed in British attempts to quash the revolt; more than 15,000 were wounded.<ref name=HistoryOfPalestinianRevolts/>

In November 1947, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] adopted the [[United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine|Partition Plan]], which divided the mandate of Palestine into two states: one majority Arab and one majority Jewish. The Palestinian Arabs rejected the plan and attacked Jewish civilian areas and paramilitary targets. Following [[Israeli Declaration of Independence|Israel's declaration of independence]] in May 1948, five Arab armies (Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Transjordan) came to the Palestinian Arabs' aid against the newly founded [[State of Israel]].<ref name="Milestones">[https://history.state.gov/milestones/1945-1952/arab-israeli-war "Milestones: 1945–1952."] ''Office of the Historian''. 7 December 2018.</ref>

==="Lost years" (1949–1967)===
After the war, there was a hiatus in Palestinian political activity. Khalidi attributes this to the traumatic events of 1947–49, which included the depopulation of over [[Depopulated Palestinian locations in Israel|400 towns and villages]] and the creation of hundreds of thousands of refugees.<ref name=Khalidi178>Khalidi, 1997, pp. 178–180.</ref> 418 villages had been razed, 46,367 buildings, 123 schools, 1,233 mosques, 8 churches and 68 holy shrines, many with a long history, destroyed by Israeli forces.<ref>Nurhan Abujidi, [https://books.google.com/books?id=AK_pAgAAQBAJ&pg=PT95 ''Urbicide in Palestine: Spaces of Oppression and Resilience,''] Routledge 2014 p.95.</ref> In addition, Palestinians lost from 1.5 to 2 million acres of land, an estimated 150,000 urban and rural homes, and 23,000 commercial structures such as shops and offices.<ref>[[Philip Mattar]], [https://books.google.com/books?id=GkbzYoZtaJMC&pg=PA329 ''The Encyclopedia of the Palestinians,''] InfoBase Publishing 2005 p.329.</ref> Recent estimates of the cost to Palestinians in property confiscations by Israel from 1948 onwards has concluded that Palestinians have suffered a net $300 billion loss in assets.<ref name=Anderson/>
Those parts of British Mandatory Palestine which did not become part of the newly declared Israeli state were occupied by Egypt or annexed by Jordan. At the [[Jericho Conference]] on 1 December 1948, 2,000 Palestinian delegates supported a resolution calling for "the unification of Palestine and Transjordan as a step toward full Arab unity".<ref>Benvenisti, Meron (1996), ''City of Stone: The Hidden History of Jerusalem'', University of California Press, {{ISBN|0-520-20521-9}}. 27</ref> During what Khalidi terms the "lost years" that followed, Palestinians lacked a center of gravity, divided as they were between these countries and others such as Syria, Lebanon, and elsewhere.<ref name=Khalidi179>Khalidi, 1997, p. 179.</ref>

Since 1967, Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have lived under military occupation, creating, according to Avram Bornstein, a [[prison|carceralization of their society]].<ref>Avram Bornstein, 'Military Occupation as Carceral Society: Prisons, Checkpoints, and Wall in the Israeli-Palestinian Struggle,' in Avram Bornstein, Paul E.

The Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip and West Bank triggered a [[1967 Palestinian exodus|second Palestinian exodus]] and fractured Palestinian political and militant groups, prompting them to give up residual hopes in pan-Arabism. They rallied increasingly around the [[Palestine Liberation Organization]] (PLO), which had been formed in Cairo in 1964. The group grew in popularity in the following years, especially under the nationalistic orientation of the leadership of [[Yasser Arafat]].<ref name=plo1974>{{cite web|title=The PNC program of 1974|publisher=Mideastweb.org|date=8 June 1974|access-date=17 August 2007|url=http://www.mideastweb.org/plo1974.htm}}The PNC adopted the goal of establishing a national state in 1974.</ref> Mainstream [[secular]] Palestinian nationalism was grouped together under the umbrella of the PLO whose constituent organizations include [[Fatah]] and the [[Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine]], among other groups who at that time believed that [[Palestinian political violence|political violence]] was the only way to "liberate" Palestine.<ref name=Khalidip18/> These groups gave voice to a tradition that emerged in the 1960s that argues Palestinian nationalism has deep historical roots, with extreme advocates reading a Palestinian nationalist consciousness and identity back into the history of Palestine over the past few centuries, and even millennia, when such a consciousness is in fact relatively modern.<ref name=Khalidip.149n>Khalidi, 1997, p. 149.

Concurrently, among Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, a new ideological theme, known as ''[[sumud]]'', represented the Palestinian political strategy popularly adopted from 1967 onward. As a concept closely related to the land, agriculture and [[indigenous (people)|indigenousness]], the ideal image of the Palestinian put forward at this time was that of the peasant (in Arabic, ''[[fellah]]'') who stayed put on his land, refusing to leave.

The [[First Intifada]] (1987–93) was the first popular uprising against the Israeli occupation of 1967. Followed by the PLO's 1988 proclamation of a [[State of Palestine]], these developments served to further reinforce the Palestinian national identity. After the [[Gulf War]] in 1991, Kuwaiti authorities forcibly pressured nearly 200,000 Palestinians to [[Palestinian exodus from Kuwait (Gulf War)|leave Kuwait]].<ref name=ppp>{{cite journal|url=http://www.meforum.org/3391/kuwait-expels-palestinians|title=Kuwait Expels Thousands of Palestinians|author=Steven J.

The [[Oslo Accords]], the first Israeli–Palestinian interim peace agreement, were signed in 1993. The process was envisioned to last five years, ending in June 1999, when the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and the Jericho area began. The expiration of this term without the recognition by Israel of the Palestinian State and without the effective termination of the occupation was followed by the [[Second Intifada]] in 2000.<ref>{{cite web|title=Report of the Independent Fact Finding Committee on Gaza: No Safe Place |url=http://www.arableagueonline.org/las/picture_gallery/reportfullFINAL.pdf |publisher=The League of Arab States |access-date=20 September 2010 |page=145 |date=30 April 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091013190358/http://www.arableagueonline.org/las/picture_gallery/reportfullFINAL.pdf |archive-date=13 October 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Palestine and the Palestinians: a social and political history|last1=Farsoun|first1=Samih|last2=Hasan Aruri|first2=Naseer|year=2006|publisher=Westview Press|page=275}}</ref> The second intifada was more violent than the first.<ref>{{cite book|last=Gordon|first=Neve|title=Israel's occupation|year=2008|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-25531-9|pages=198|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4RX7t4X8_RMC&pg=PA198}}</ref> The International Court of Justice observed that since the government of Israel had decided to recognize the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people, their existence was no longer an issue.

Following the failures of the Second Intifada, a younger generation is emerging that cares less about nationalist ideology than about economic growth. This has been a source of tension between some of the Palestinian political leadership and Palestinian business professionals who desire economic cooperation with Israelis. At an international conference in Bahrain, Palestinian businessman Ashraf Jabari said, "I have no problem working with Israel. It is time to move on. ... The Palestinian Authority does not want peace. They told the families of the businessmen that they are wanted [by police] for participating in the Bahrain workshop."<ref>[[Jeffrey Sonnenfeld|Sonnenfeld, Jeffrey]].

In the absence of a comprehensive census including all Palestinian diaspora populations, and those that have remained within what was [[Mandatory Palestine|British Mandate Palestine]], exact population figures are difficult to determine. The [[Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics]] (PCBS) announced at the end of 2015 that the number of Palestinians worldwide at the end of 2015 was 12.37 million of which the number still residing within historic Palestine was 6.22 million.<ref name="Maan1116">{{cite news |title=Palestinian population to exceed Jewish population by 2020 |url=http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=769606 |access-date=18 August 2022 |agency=[[Ma'an News Agency]] |date=1 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304071126/http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=769606 |archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref>
In 2005, a critical review of the PCBS figures and methodology was conducted by the American-Israel Demographic Research Group (AIDRG).<ref>[http://www.pademographics.com/ American-Israel Demographic Research Group (AIDRG)], is led by Bennett Zimmerman, Yoram Ettinger, Roberta Seid, and Michael L.

The PCBS numbers were cross-checked against a variety of other sources (e.g., asserted [[birth rates]] based on [[fertility]] rate assumptions for a given year were checked against Palestinian Ministry of Health figures as well as Ministry of Education school enrollment figures six years later; immigration numbers were checked against numbers collected at border crossings, etc.). The errors claimed in their analysis included: birth rate errors (308,000), immigration & emigration errors (310,000), failure to account for migration to Israel (105,000), double-counting [[Jerusalem]] Arabs (210,000), counting former residents now living abroad (325,000) and other discrepancies (82,000). The results of their research was also presented before the [[United States House of Representatives]] on 8 March 2006.<ref>Bennett Zimmerman, Roberta Seid, and Michael L.

The study was criticised by [[Sergio DellaPergola]], a demographer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.<ref name="Azure">[[Sergio DellaPergola]], Letter to the editor, ''Azure'', 2007, No. 27, [https://web.archive.org/web/20210621182830/http://www.azure.org.il/magazine/magazine.asp?id=29] {{cite web |title=Correspondence |url=http://www.azure.co.il/download/magazine/AZ%2027%20letters.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110930220135/http://www.azure.co.il/download/magazine/AZ%2027%20letters.pdf |archive-date=30 September 2011 |access-date=21 June 2011}}</ref> DellaPergola accused the authors of the AIDRG report of misunderstanding basic principles of demography on account of their lack of expertise in the subject, but he also acknowledged that he did not take into account the emigration of Palestinians and thinks it has to be examined, as well as the birth and mortality statistics of the Palestinian Authority.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.haaretz.com/general/you-can-count-on-them-1.148439|title=You can count on them|author=Aluf Benn|work=Haaretz.com|date=28 January 2005}}</ref>
He also accused AIDRG of selective use of data and multiple systematic errors in their analysis, claiming that the authors assumed the Palestinian Electoral registry to be complete even though registration is voluntary, and they used an unrealistically low Total Fertility Ratio (a statistical abstraction of births per woman) to reanalyse that data in a "typical circular mistake." DellaPergola estimated the Palestinian population of the West Bank and Gaza at the end of 2005 as 3.33 million, or 3.57 million if East Jerusalem is included. These figures are only slightly lower than the official Palestinian figures.<ref name=Azure/> The [[Israeli Civil Administration]] put the number of Palestinians in the West Bank at 2,657,029 as of May 2012.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.molad.org/en/articles/articlePrint.php?id=295|title=Molad Analysis - Wrong Number|website=www.molad.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.532703|title=How Many Palestinians Actually Live in the West Bank? – Diplomacy & Defense – Haaretz|work=Haaretz.com|date=30 June 2013|last1=Hasson|first1=Nir}}</ref>

Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and the West Bank are organized according to a refugee family's village or place of origin. Among the first things that children born in the camps learn is the name of their village of origin. David McDowall writes that, "[...] a yearning for Palestine permeates the whole refugee community and is most ardently espoused by the younger refugees, for whom home exists only in the imagination."<ref name=McDowall90>McDowall, 1989, p. 90.</ref>

{{main|Women in Palestine|Palestinian families}}
In the 19th and early 20th century, there were some well known Palestinian families, which included the [[Khalidi family]], the [[al-Husayni family]], the [[Nashashibi family]], the [[Tuqan family]], the [[Nusaybah family]], [[Qudwa]] family, [[Shawish clan]], [[Shurrab family]], Al-Zaghab family, [[Al-Khalil family]], [[Ridwan dynasty]], Al-Zeitawi family, [[Abu Ghosh clan]], [[Barghouti family]], [[Doghmush clan]], [[Douaihy]] family, [[Hilles clan]], [[Jarrar family]], and the [[Jayyusi family]]. Since various conflicts with Zionists began, some of the communities have subsequently left Palestine. The role of women varies among Palestinians, with both progressive and ultra-conservative opinions existing. Other groups of Palestinians, such as the [[Negev Bedouin]]s or [[Druze]] may no longer self-identify as Palestinian for political reasons.<ref>Second Class: Discrimination Against Palestinian Arab Children in Israel's Schools, p 8, 2001</ref>
==Culture==
{{Main|Culture of Palestine}}
{{See also|Arab-Israeli culture}}
Ali Qleibo, a Palestinian [[anthropologist]], has critiqued Muslim historiography for assigning the beginning of Palestinian cultural identity to the advent of Islam in the 7th century. In describing the effect of such historiography, he writes: <blockquote>[[Paganism|Pagan]] origins are disavowed. As such the peoples who populated Palestine throughout history have discursively rescinded their own history and religion as they adopted the religion, language, and culture of Islam.<ref name=Qleibo /></blockquote> That the peasant culture of the large [[fellahin]] class showed features of cultures other than Islam was a conclusion arrived at by some Western scholars and explorers who mapped and surveyed Palestine during the latter half of the 19th century,<ref>Parkes, 1970, pp. 209–210.</ref> and these ideas were to influence 20th-century debates on Palestinian identity by local and international ethnographers.
The contributions of the 'nativist' [[Ethnography|ethnographies]] produced by [[Tawfiq Canaan]] and other Palestinian writers and published in ''The Journal of the Palestine Oriental Society'' (1920–48) were driven by the concern that the "native culture of Palestine", and in particular peasant society, was being undermined by the forces of [[modernity]].<ref name=Tamari /> Salim Tamari writes that: <blockquote>Implicit in their scholarship (and made explicit by Canaan himself) was another theme, namely that the peasants of Palestine represent—through their folk norms ... the living heritage of all the accumulated ancient cultures that had appeared in Palestine (principally the Canaanite, Philistine, [[Hebrews|Hebraic]], [[Nabatean]], Syrio-Aramaic and Arab).<ref name=Tamari/></blockquote>
Palestinian culture is closely related to those of the nearby Levantine countries such as Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and the Arab World. Cultural contributions to the fields of [[art]], [[literature]], [[music]], [[costume]] and [[cuisine]] express the characteristics of the Palestinian experience and show signs of common origin despite the geographical separation between the [[Palestinian territories]], Israel and the diaspora.<ref name=Elmokadem>{{cite web|title=Book records Palestinian art history |author=Ismail Elmokadem |date=10 December 2005 |access-date=18 April 2008 |url=http://english.aljazeera.net/English/archive/archive?ArchiveId=17014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070419034952/http://english.aljazeera.net/English/archive/archive?ArchiveId=17014 |archive-date=19 April 2007 }}</ref><ref name=Moran>{{cite web|title=Manchester Festival of Palestinian Literature|publisher=Manchester Festival of Palestinian literature|url=http://www.fabrikation.co.uk/mlpf/about.html|author=Danny Moran|access-date=18 April 2008 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080331031413/http://www.fabrikation.co.uk/mlpf/about.html |archive-date = 31 March 2008}}</ref><ref>Regev Motti (1993), ''Oud and Guitar: The Musical Culture of the Arabs in Israel'' (Institute for Israeli Arab Studies, Beit Berl), {{ISBN|965-454-002-9}}, p. 4.</ref>

Palestine's history of rule by many different empires is reflected in Palestinian cuisine, which has benefited from various cultural contributions and exchanges.

Foreign travelers to Palestine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries often commented on the rich variety of costumes among the area's inhabitants, and particularly among the [[fellaheen]] or village women. Until the 1940s, a woman's economic status, whether married or single, and the town or area they were from could be deciphered by most Palestinian women by the type of cloth, colors, cut, and [[embroidery]] motifs, or lack thereof, used for the robe-like dress or "thoub" in Arabic.<ref name=Aramco>{{cite magazine|title=Woven Legacy, Woven Language|author=Jane Waldron Grutz|magazine=Saudi Aramco World|date=January–February 1991|access-date=4 June 2007|url=http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/199101/woven.legacy.woven.language.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070219004053/http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/199101/woven.legacy.woven.language.htm|archive-date=19 February 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Palestinian literature forms part of the wider genre of [[Arabic literature]]. Unlike its Arabic counterparts, Palestinian literature is defined by national affiliation rather than territorially. For example, Egyptian literature is the literature produced in Egypt. This too was the case for Palestinian literature up to the [[1948 Arab-Israeli war]], but following the [[1948 Palestinian exodus|Palestinian Exodus]] of 1948 it has become "a literature written by Palestinians" regardless of their residential status.<ref name=Kochavi>{{cite web|title=Hebrew Translations of Palestinian Literature – from Total Denial to Partial Recognition|author=Hannah Amit-Kochavi|publisher=Beit Berl College, Israel|access-date=17 August 2007|url=http://www.erudit.org/revue/ttr/2000/v13/n1/037393ar.pdf}}</ref><ref name=Suleiman2006>{{cite book |editor-last1=Suleiman |editor-first1=Yasir |editor-last2=Muhawi |editor-first2=Ibrahim |editor-link2=Ibrahim Muhawi |title=Literature and Nation in the Middle East |publisher=Edinburgh University Press |year=2006 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=zlbtyGIZyZQC&q=%22palestinian+literature%22+%22arabic+literature%22+palestine&pg=PP6 |isbn=978-0-7486-2073-9}}</ref>
Contemporary Palestinian literature is often characterized by its heightened sense of [[irony]] and the exploration of existential themes and issues of identity.<ref name=Suleiman2006/> References to the subjects of resistance to occupation, [[exile]], loss, and love and longing for [[homeland]] are also common.<ref>{{cite web|title=Palestinian Literature and poetry |publisher=Palestinian National Information Center |access-date=28 July 2007 |url=http://www.pnic.gov.ps/english/Media_culture/Literature_Poetry.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070925033412/https://www.pnic.gov.ps/english/Media_culture/Literature_Poetry.html |archive-date=25 September 2007 }}</ref> Palestinian literature can be intensely political, as underlined by writers like [[Salma Khadra Jayyusi]] and novelist [[Liana Badr]], who have mentioned the need to give expression to the Palestinian "collective identity" and the "just case" of their struggle.<ref name=Soueif>{{cite news|title=Art of Resistance|author=Adnan Soueif|date=21 October 2006|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=6 September 2007|url=http://www.arabworldbooks.com/News/artofresistance.htm}}</ref> There is also resistance to this school of thought, whereby Palestinian artists have "rebelled" against the demand that their art be "committed".<ref name=Soueif/> Poet [[Mourid Barghouti]] for example, has often said that "poetry is not a civil servant, it's not a soldier, it's in nobody's employ."<ref name=Soueif/> [[Rula Jebreal]]'s novel ''[[Miral]]'' tells the story of [[Hind al-Husseini]]'s effort to establish an [[orphanage]] in [[Jerusalem]] after the [[1948 Arab–Israeli War]], the [[Deir Yassin massacre]],<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3949069,00.html |title=Jewish filmmaker tells Palestinian story |work=[[Ynetnews]] |date=6 September 2010 |access-date=6 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Associated |first=The |url=http://www.haaretz.com/culture/jewish-film-maker-directs-palestinian-story-in-miral-1.317857 |title=Jewish film maker directs Palestinian story in 'Miral' – Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel News |publisher=Haaretz.com |access-date=25 March 2011|newspaper=Haaretz |date=8 October 2010 }}</ref> and the establishment of the state of [[Israel]].
Since 1967, most critics have theorized the existence of three "branches" of Palestinian literature, loosely divided by geographic location: 1) from inside Israel, 2) from the [[Israeli-occupied territories|occupied territories]], 3) from among the [[Palestinian diaspora]] throughout the [[Middle East]].<ref name=Salaita>{{cite journal|title=Scattered like seeds: Palestinian prose goes global|author=Steven Salaita|date=1 June 2003|journal=Studies in the Humanities|access-date=6 September 2007|url=http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/summary_0199-17848_ITM}}</ref>
Hannah Amit-Kochavi recognizes only two branches: that written by Palestinians from inside the State of Israel as distinct from that written outside (ibid., p. 11).<ref name=Kochavi/> She also posits a temporal distinction between literature produced before 1948 and that produced thereafter.<ref name=Kochavi/> In a 2003 article published in ''Studies in the Humanities'', Steven Salaita posits a fourth branch made up of [[English language]] works, particularly those written by Palestinians in the [[United States]], which he defines as "writing rooted in diasporic countries but focused in theme and content on [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]]."<ref name=Salaita/>

Poetry, using classical pre-Islamic forms, remains an extremely popular art form, often attracting Palestinian audiences in the thousands. Until 20 years ago, local folk bards reciting traditional verses were a feature of every Palestinian town.<ref name=Shahin41>Shahin, 2005, p. 41.</ref> After the 1948 Palestinian exodus and discrimination by neighboring Arab countries, poetry was transformed into a vehicle for political activism.<ref name=Caplan/> From among those Palestinians who became [[Arab citizens of Israel]] after the passage of the Citizenship Law in 1952, a school of resistance poetry was born that included poets like [[Mahmoud Darwish]], [[Samih al-Qasim]], and [[Tawfiq Zayyad]].<ref name=Shahin41/> The work of these poets was largely unknown to the wider Arab world for years because of the lack of diplomatic relations between Israel and Arab governments. The situation changed after [[Ghassan Kanafani]], another Palestinian writer in exile in Lebanon, published an anthology of their work in 1966.<ref name=Shahin41/> Palestinian poets often write about the common theme of a strong affection and sense of loss and longing for a lost homeland.<ref name=Shahin41/> Among the new generation of Palestinian writers, the work of [[Nathalie Handal]] an award-winning poet, playwright, and editor has been widely published in literary journals and magazines and has been translated into twelve languages.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://imeu.net/news/article002665.shtml|title=Nathalie Handal: Poet and Playwright|author=IMEU|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130714071941/http://imeu.net/news/article002665.shtml|archive-date=14 July 2013}}</ref>

Palestinian folklore is the body of expressive culture, including tales, [[music]], [[dance]], [[legend]]s, [[oral history]], [[proverb]]s, jokes, popular beliefs, [[customs]], and comprising the traditions (including oral traditions) of Palestinian culture. There was a folklorist revival among Palestinian intellectuals such as Nimr Sirhan, Musa Allush, Salim Mubayyid, and the Palestinian [[Folklore]] Society during the 1970s. This group attempted to establish pre-Islamic (and pre-Hebraic) cultural roots for a re-constructed Palestinian national identity. The two putative roots in this patrimony are Canaanite and Jebusite.<ref name=Tamari /> Such efforts seem to have borne fruit as evidenced in the organization of celebrations like the [[Qabatiya]] Canaanite festival and the annual Music Festival of [[Jerusalem|Yabus]] by the Palestinian Ministry of Culture.<ref name=Tamari/>
Traditional storytelling among Palestinians is prefaced with an invitation to the listeners to give blessings to God and the Prophet Mohammed or the Virgin Mary as the case may be, and includes the traditional opening: "There was, or there was not, in the oldness of time..."<ref name=Shahin41/><ref name=Muhawi>Muhawi, 1989.</ref> Formulaic elements of the stories share much in common with the wider Arab world, though the rhyming scheme is distinct. There are a cast of supernatural characters: [[jinns|djinns]] who can cross the Seven Seas in an instant, giants, and ghouls with eyes of ember and teeth of brass. Stories invariably have a happy ending, and the storyteller will usually finish off with a rhyme like: "The bird has taken flight, God bless you tonight," or "Tutu, tutu, finished is my ''haduttu'' (story)."<ref name=Shahin41/>
===Music===

[[Palestinian music]] is well known throughout the Arab world.<ref name=Poche>{{cite web|title=Palestinian music|publisher=Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians|author=Christian Poche|url=http://phonoarchive.org/grove/Entries/S47332.htm|access-date=10 March 2008}}{{dead link|date=August 2020|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> After 1948, a new wave of performers emerged with distinctively Palestinian themes relating to dreams of statehood and burgeoning nationalist sentiments. In addition to ''[[zajal]]'' and ''[[ataaba]]'', traditional Palestinian songs include: ''Bein Al-dawai'', ''Al-Rozana'', ''Zarif – Al-Toul'', and ''Al-Maijana'', ''Dal'ona'', ''Sahja/Saamir'', ''Zaghareet''. Over three decades, the Palestinian National Music and Dance Troupe (El Funoun) and [[Mohsen Subhi]] have reinterpreted and rearranged traditional wedding songs such as ''Mish'al'' (1986), ''Marj Ibn 'Amer''(1989) and ''Zaghareed'' (1997).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.el-funoun.org/productions/zaghared.html |title=El-Funoun Palestinian Popular Dance Troupe |access-date=24 August 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090105201604/http://www.el-funoun.org/productions/zaghared.html |archive-date=5 January 2009 }}</ref> ''Ataaba'' is a form of folk singing that consists of four verses, following a specific form and meter. The distinguishing feature of ataaba is that the first three verses end with the same word meaning three different things, and the fourth verse serves as a conclusion. It is usually followed by a ''[[dalouna]]''.
[[Reem Kelani]] is one of the foremost researchers and performers in the present day of music with a specifically Palestinian narrative and heritage.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.globalrhythm.net/WorldMusicCDReviews/MiddleEastNorthAfrica/ReemKelani.cfm|title=Middle East & North Africa Reem Kelani World Music at Global Rhythm – The Destination for World Music|access-date=3 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140311194619/http://www.globalrhythm.net/WorldMusicCDReviews/MiddleEastNorthAfrica/ReemKelani.cfm|archive-date=11 March 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> Her 2006 debut solo album ''Sprinting Gazelle – Palestinian Songs from the Motherland and the Diaspora'' comprised Kelani's research and an arrangement of five traditional Palestinian songs, whilst the other five songs were her own musical settings of popular and resistance poetry by the likes of Mahmoud Darwish, [[Salma Khadra Jayyusi]], [[Rashid Hussein|Rashid Husain]] and Mahmoud Salim al-Hout.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://reemkelani.com/album.asp|title=Reem Kelani|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207110028/http://reemkelani.com/album.asp|archive-date=7 December 2013}}</ref> All the songs on the album relate to 'pre-1948 Palestine'.
====Palestinian hip hop====
{{main|Palestinian hip hop}}
[[Palestinian hip hop]] reportedly started in 1998 with [[Tamer Nafar]]'s group [[DAM (band)|DAM]].<ref>{{cite news|first=Dion |last=Nissenbaum |title='Palestinians' embracing hip-hop to push 'perspective of the victims' |date=29 September 2005 |url=http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0905/arab_hip-hop.php3 |work=Jewish World Review |access-date=25 April 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070816154001/http://jewishworldreview.com/0905/arab_hip-hop.php3 |archive-date=16 August 2007 }}</ref> These Palestinian youth forged the new Palestinian musical subgenre, which blends [[Arabic music|Arabic melodies]] and [[hip hop]] beats. Lyrics are often sung in [[Arabic]], [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], English, and sometimes French. Since then, the new Palestinian musical subgenre has grown to include artists in the Palestinian territories, Israel, Great Britain, the United States and Canada.[[File:DJ Khaled 2012 (cropped).jpg|thumb|American radio personality and record producer [[DJ Khaled]], of Palestinian descent]]Borrowing from [[old school hip-hop|traditional rap music]] that first emerged in New York in the 1970s, "young Palestinian musicians have tailored the style to express their own grievances with the social and political climate in which they live and work." Palestinian hip hop works to challenge [[stereotype]]s and instigate dialogue about the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://angelingo.usc.edu/issue03/politics/a_palhiphop.php |title=Palestinian Conflict Bounces to a New Beat |access-date=25 April 2007 |last=El-Sabawi |first=Taleed |year=2005 |work=Angelingo |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050418192423/http://angelingo.usc.edu/issue03/politics/a_palhiphop.php |archive-date=18 April 2005 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Palestinian hip-hop artists have been strongly influenced by the messages of American rappers. Tamar Nafar says, "When I heard Tupac sing 'It's a White Man's World' I decided to take hip hop seriously".<ref name=Maira>{{cite journal|last=Maira|first=Sunaina|title=We Ain't Missing: Palestinian Hip Hop – A Transnational Youth Movement|journal=CR: The New Centennial Review|year=2008|volume=8|issue=2|pages=161–192|doi=10.1353/ncr.0.0027|s2cid=144998198}}</ref> In addition to the influences from American hip hop, it also includes musical elements from Palestinian and Arabic music including "zajal, mawwal, and saj" which can be likened to Arabic spoken word, as well as including the percussiveness and lyricism of Arabic music.
Historically, music has served as an integral accompaniment to various social and religious rituals and ceremonies in Palestinian society (Al-Taee 47). Much of the Middle-Eastern and Arabic string instruments utilized in classical Palestinian music are sampled over Hip-hop beats in both Israeli and Palestinian hip-hop as part of a joint process of localization. Just as the percussiveness of the Hebrew language is emphasized in Israeli Hip-hop, Palestinian music has always revolved around the rhythmic specificity and smooth melodic tone of Arabic. "Musically speaking, Palestinian songs are usually pure melody performed monophonically with complex vocal ornamentations and strong percussive rhythm beats".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Al-Taee |first1=Nasser |year=2002 |title=Voices of Peace and the Legacy of Reconciliation: Popular Music, Nationalism, and the Quest for Peace in the Middle East |journal=Popular Music |volume=21 |pages=41–61 |doi=10.1017/s0261143002002039|s2cid=56388670 }}</ref> The presence of a hand-drum in classical Palestinian music indicates a cultural esthetic conducive to the vocal, verbal and instrumental percussion which serve as the foundational elements of Hip-hop. This hip hop is joining a "longer tradition of revolutionary, underground, Arabic music and political songs that have supported Palestinian Resistance".<ref name=Maira/> This subgenre has served as a way to politicize the Palestinian issue through music.
====Dance====
The [[Dabke]], a Levantine Arab folk dance style whose local Palestinian versions were appropriated by Palestinian nationalism after [[Six-Day War|1967]], has, according to one scholar, possible roots that may go back to ancient [[Canaan]]ite fertility rites.<ref name=Canaan>{{cite book|last=Kaschl|first=Elke|title=Dance and Authenticity in Israel and Palestine: Performing the Nation|date=2003|publisher=BRILL|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OfRAsefaeVEC&pg=PA82|pages=71–82|isbn=978-9004132382}}</ref> It is marked by synchronized jumping, stamping, and movement, similar to tap dancing. One version is performed by men, another by women.

===Sport===
{{main|Sport in Palestine}}
Although sport facilities did exist before the [[1948 Palestinian exodus]], many such facilities and institutions were subsequently shut down. Today there remains sport centers such as in Gaza and Ramallah, but the difficulty of mobility and travel restrictions means most Palestinian are not able to compete internationally to their full potential. However, Palestinian sport authorities have indicated that Palestinians in the diaspora will be eligible to compete for Palestine once the diplomatic and security situation improves.

The timing and causes behind the emergence of a distinctively Palestinian national consciousness among the Arabs of Palestine are matters of scholarly disagreement. Some argue that it can be traced as far back as the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Peasants%27_revolt_in_Palestine" title="Peasants' revolt in Palestine">peasants' revolt in Palestine</a> in 1834 (or even as early as the 17th century), while others argue that it did not emerge until after the Mandatory Palestine period.<sup id="cite_ref-Likhovski_57-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Likhovski-57">[57]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Sorek_118-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Sorek-118">[118]</a></sup> Legal historian Assaf Likhovski states that the prevailing view is that Palestinian identity originated in the early decades of the 20th century,<sup id="cite_ref-Likhovski_57-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Likhovski-57">[57]</a></sup> when an embryonic desire among Palestinians for self-government in the face of generalized fears that <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Zionism" title="Zionism">Zionism</a> would lead to a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Jewish_state" title="Jewish state">Jewish state</a> and the dispossession of the Arab majority crystallised among most editors, Christian and Muslim, of local newspapers.<sup id="cite_ref-119" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-119">[119]</a></sup> The term itself <i>Filasṭīnī</i> was first introduced by <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Khalil_Beidas" title="Khalil Beidas">Khalīl Beidas</a> in a translation of a Russian work on the Holy Land into Arabic in 1898. After that, its usage gradually spread so that, by 1908, with the loosening of censorship controls under late Ottoman rule, a number of Muslim, Christian and Jewish correspondents writing for newspapers began to use the term with great frequency in referring to the 'Palestinian people'(<i>ahl/ahālī Filasṭīn</i>), 'Palestinians' (<i>al-Filasṭīnīyūn</i>) the 'sons of Palestine(<i>abnā’ Filasṭīn</i>) or to 'Palestinian society',(<i>al-mujtama' al-filasṭīnī</i>).<sup id="cite_ref-ZachBeška_120-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ZachBeška-120">[120]</a></sup></p><div class="thumb tleft"><div class="thumbinner" style="width:172px;"><a href="/enwiki/wiki/File:Coat_of_arms_of_Palestine.svg" class="image"><img src="/upwiki/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Coat_of_arms_of_Palestine.svg/170px-Coat_of_arms_of_Palestine.svg.png" decoding="async" width="170" height="231" class="thumbimage" srcset="/upwiki/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Coat_of_arms_of_Palestine.svg/255px-Coat_of_arms_of_Palestine.svg.png 1.5x, /upwiki/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/Coat_of_arms_of_Palestine.svg/340px-Coat_of_arms_of_Palestine.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="443" data-file-height="602" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><a href="/enwiki/wiki/File:Coat_of_arms_of_Palestine.svg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Saladin" title="Saladin">Saladin</a>'s Falcon, the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Palestine" title="Coat of arms of Palestine">coat of arms</a> and emblem of the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Palestinian_Authority" class="mw-redirect" title="Palestinian Authority">Palestinian Authority</a></div></div></div>
<p>Whatever the differing viewpoints over the timing, causal mechanisms, and orientation of Palestinian nationalism, by the early 20th century strong opposition to Zionism and evidence of a burgeoning nationalistic Palestinian identity is found in the content of Arabic-language newspapers in Palestine, such as <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Al-Karmil_(newspaper)" title="Al-Karmil (newspaper)">Al-Karmil</a></i> (est. 1908) and <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Filastin_(newspaper)" class="mw-redirect" title="Filastin (newspaper)">Filasteen</a></i> (est. 1911).<sup id="cite_ref-Khalidip124_121-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Khalidip124-121">[121]</a></sup> Filasteen initially focused its critique of Zionism around the failure of the Ottoman administration to control Jewish immigration and the large influx of foreigners, later exploring the impact of Zionist land-purchases on Palestinian peasants (<a href="/enwiki/wiki/Arabic_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Arabic language">Arabic</a>: <span lang="ar" dir="rtl">فلاحين</span>, <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Fellahin" class="mw-redirect" title="Fellahin">fellahin</a></i>), expressing growing concern over land dispossession and its implications for the society at large.<sup id="cite_ref-Khalidip124_121-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Khalidip124-121">[121]</a></sup>

Between 1948 and 1967, the Jordanians and other Arab countries hosting Arab refugees from Palestine/Israel silenced any expression of Palestinian identity and occupied their lands until Israel's conquests of 1967.

Since 1967, Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip have lived under military occupation, creating, according to Avram Bornstein, a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Prison" title="Prison">carceralization of their society</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-159" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-159">[159]</a></sup> In the meantime, pan-Arabism has waned as an aspect of Palestinian identity.

They rallied increasingly around the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Palestine_Liberation_Organization" title="Palestine Liberation Organization">Palestine Liberation Organization</a> (PLO), which had been formed in Cairo in 1964.

<p>The <a href="/enwiki/wiki/First_Intifada" title="First Intifada">First Intifada</a> (1987–93) was the first popular uprising against the Israeli occupation of 1967. Followed by the PLO's 1988 proclamation of a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/State_of_Palestine" title="State of Palestine">State of Palestine</a>, these developments served to further reinforce the Palestinian national identity. After the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Gulf_War" title="Gulf War">Gulf War</a> in 1991, Kuwaiti authorities forcibly pressured nearly 200,000 Palestinians to <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Palestinian_exodus_from_Kuwait_(Gulf_War)" class="mw-redirect" title="Palestinian exodus from Kuwait (Gulf War)">leave Kuwait</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-ppp_166-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ppp-166">[166]</a></sup> The policy which partly led to this exodus was a response to the alignment of PLO leader Yasser Arafat with <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Saddam_Hussein" title="Saddam Hussein">Saddam Hussein</a>.
</p><p>The <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Oslo_Accords" title="Oslo Accords">Oslo Accords</a>, the first Israeli–Palestinian interim peace agreement, were signed in 1993. The process was envisioned to last five years, ending in June 1999, when the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and the Jericho area began. The expiration of this term without the recognition by Israel of the Palestinian State and without the effective termination of the occupation was followed by the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Second_Intifada" title="Second Intifada">Second Intifada</a> in 2000.<sup id="cite_ref-167" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-167">[167]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-168" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-168">[168]</a></sup> The second intifada was more violent than the first.<sup id="cite_ref-169" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-169">[169]</a></sup> The International Court of Justice observed that since the government of Israel had decided to recognize the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people, their existence was no longer an issue. The court noted that the Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip of 28 September 1995 also referred a number of times to the Palestinian people and its "legitimate rights".<sup id="cite_ref-170" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-170">[170]</a></sup> According to <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Thomas_Giegerich" title="Thomas Giegerich">Thomas Giegerich</a>, with respect to the Palestinian people's right to form a sovereign independent state, "The right of self-determination gives the Palestinian people collectively the inalienable right freely to determine its political status, while Israel, having recognized the Palestinians as a separate people, is obliged to promote and respect this right in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations".<sup id="cite_ref-Giegerich_171-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Giegerich-171">[171]</a></sup>
</p><p>Following the failures of the Second Intifada, a younger generation is emerging that cares less about nationalist ideology than about economic growth. This has been a source of tension between some of the Palestinian political leadership and Palestinian business professionals who desire economic cooperation with Israelis. At an international conference in Bahrain, Palestinian businessman Ashraf Jabari said, "I have no problem working with Israel. It is time to move on. ... The Palestinian Authority does not want peace. They told the families of the businessmen that they are wanted [by police] for participating in the Bahrain workshop."<sup id="cite_ref-172" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-172">[172]</a></sup>

<p>In the absence of a comprehensive census including all Palestinian diaspora populations, and those that have remained within what was <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Mandatory_Palestine" title="Mandatory Palestine">British Mandate Palestine</a>, exact population figures are difficult to determine. The <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Palestinian_Central_Bureau_of_Statistics" title="Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics">Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics</a> (PCBS) announced at the end of 2015 that the number of Palestinians worldwide at the end of 2015 was 12.37 million of which the number still residing within historic Palestine was 6.22 million.<sup id="cite_ref-Maan1116_181-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Maan1116-181">[181]</a></sup>
</p><p>In 2005, a critical review of the PCBS figures and methodology was conducted by the American-Israel Demographic Research Group (AIDRG).<sup id="cite_ref-182" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-182">[182]</a></sup> In their report,<sup id="cite_ref-183" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-183">[183]</a></sup> they claimed that several errors in the PCBS methodology and assumptions artificially inflated the numbers by a total of 1.3 million. The PCBS numbers were cross-checked against a variety of other sources (e.g., asserted <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Birth_rates" class="mw-redirect" title="Birth rates">birth rates</a> based on <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Fertility" title="Fertility">fertility</a> rate assumptions for a given year were checked against Palestinian Ministry of Health figures as well as Ministry of Education school enrollment figures six years later; immigration numbers were checked against numbers collected at border crossings, etc.). The errors claimed in their analysis included: birth rate errors (308,000), immigration & emigration errors (310,000), failure to account for migration to Israel (105,000), double-counting <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Jerusalem" title="Jerusalem">Jerusalem</a> Arabs (210,000), counting former residents now living abroad (325,000) and other discrepancies (82,000). The results of their research was also presented before the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives">United States House of Representatives</a> on 8 March 2006.<sup id="cite_ref-184" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-184">[184]</a></sup>
</p><p>The study was criticised by <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Sergio_DellaPergola" class="mw-redirect" title="Sergio DellaPergola">Sergio DellaPergola</a>, a demographer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.<sup id="cite_ref-Azure_185-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Azure-185">[185]</a></sup> DellaPergola accused the authors of the AIDRG report of misunderstanding basic principles of demography on account of their lack of expertise in the subject, but he also acknowledged that he did not take into account the emigration of Palestinians and thinks it has to be examined, as well as the birth and mortality statistics of the Palestinian Authority.<sup id="cite_ref-186" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-186">[186]</a></sup>
He also accused AIDRG of selective use of data and multiple systematic errors in their analysis, claiming that the authors assumed the Palestinian Electoral registry to be complete even though registration is voluntary, and they used an unrealistically low Total Fertility Ratio (a statistical abstraction of births per woman) to reanalyse that data in a "typical circular mistake." DellaPergola estimated the Palestinian population of the West Bank and Gaza at the end of 2005 as 3.33 million, or 3.57 million if East Jerusalem is included. These figures are only slightly lower than the official Palestinian figures.<sup id="cite_ref-Azure_185-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Azure-185">[185]</a></sup> The <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Israeli_Civil_Administration" title="Israeli Civil Administration">Israeli Civil Administration</a> put the number of Palestinians in the West Bank at 2,657,029 as of May 2012.<sup id="cite_ref-187" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-187">[187]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-188" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-188">[188]</a></sup>

"The process of Arabization and Islamization was gaining momentum there.

Conversions arising from convenience as well as conviction then increased. These conversions to Islam, together with a steady tribal inflow from the desert, changed the religious character of Palestine's inhabitants.

"the word 'Arab' needs to be used with care. It is applicable to the Bedouin and to a section of the urban and effendi classes; it is inappropriate as a description of the rural mass of the population, the fellaheen. The whole population spoke Arabic, usually corrupted by dialects bearing traces of words of other origin, but it was only the Bedouin who habitually thought of themselves as Arabs. Western travelers from the sixteenth century onwards make the same distinction, and the word 'Arab' almost always refers to them exclusively.... Gradually it was realized that there remained a substantial stratum of the pre-Israelite peasantry, and that the oldest element among the peasants were not 'Arabs' in the sense of having entered the country with or after the conquerors of the seventh century, had been there already when the Arabs came."</span>

The fact that Palestinian nationalism developed later than Zionism and indeed in response to it does not in any way diminish the legitimacy of Palestinian nationalism or make it less valid than Zionism. All nationalisms arise in opposition to some "other". Why else would there be the need to specify who you are? And all nationalisms are defined by what they oppose. As we have seen, Zionism itself arose in reaction to anti-Semitic and exclusionary nationalist movements in Europe. It would be perverse to judge Zionism as somehow less valid than European anti-Semitism or those nationalisms. . . Furthermore, Zionism itself was also defined by its opposition to the indigenous Palestinian inhabitants of the region. Both the "conquest of land" and the "conquest of labor" slogans that became central to the dominant strain of Zionism in the Yishuv originated as a result of the Zionist confrontation with the Palestinian "other".</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=The+Israel-Palestine+Conflict%3A+One+Hundred+Years+of+War&rft.pages=93&rft.pub=Cambridge+University+Press&rft.date=2014-01-13&rft.isbn=978-1-107-47077-4&rft.aulast=Gelvin&rft.aufirst=James+L.&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DGDaZAgAAQBAJ%26pg%3DPA93&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3APalestinians" class="Z3988"></span></span>

Quote: "First coined in 1881 by the French Egyptologist G. Maspero (1896), the somewhat misleading term "Sea Peoples" encompasses the ethnonyms Lukka, Sherden, Shekelesh, Teresh, Eqwesh, Denyen, Sikil / Tjekker, Weshesh, and Peleset (Philistines). [Footnote: The modern term "Sea Peoples" refers to peoples that appear in several New Kingdom Egyptian texts as originating from "islands" (tables 1–2; Adams and Cohen, this volume; see, e.g., <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Robert_Drews" title="Robert Drews">Drews</a> 1993, 57 for a summary). The use of quotation marks in association with the term "Sea Peoples" in our title is intended to draw attention to the problematic nature of this commonly used term. It is noteworthy that the designation "of the sea" appears only in relation to the Sherden, Shekelesh, and Eqwesh. Subsequently, this term was applied somewhat indiscriminately to several additional ethnonyms, including the Philistines, who are portrayed in their earliest appearance as invaders from the north during the reigns of Merenptah and Ramesses Ill (see, e.g., Sandars 1978; Redford 1992, 243, n. 14; for a recent review of the primary and secondary literature, see Woudhuizen 2006). Hencefore the term Sea Peoples will appear without quotation marks.]"</span>

Yet in the inscriptions themselves such a migration nowhere appears. After reviewing what the Egyptian texts have to say about 'the sea peoples', one Egyptologist (Wolfgang Helck) recently remarked that although some things are unclear, "eins ist aber sicher: Nach den ägyptischen Texten haben wir es nicht mit einer "Völkerwanderung" zu tun." ("one thing is clear: according to the Egyptian texts, we are not dealing here with a '<a href="/enwiki/wiki/Migration_Period" title="Migration Period">Völkerwanderung</a>' [migration of peoples as in 4th–6th-century Europe].")

Similarly, the Jewish community strove to recover from the catastrophic results of the Bar Kokhva revolt (132–135 ce). During the Late Roman and Byzantine periods, many Jews emigrated to thriving centres in the diaspora, especially Iraq, whereas some converted to Christianity and others continued to live in the Holy Land, especially in Galilee and the coastal plain. [...] Accordingly, most of the Muslims who participated in the conquest of the Holy Land did not settle there, but continued on to further destinations. For most of the Muslims who settled in the Holy Land were either Arabs who immigrated before the Muslim conquest and then converted to Islam, or Muslims who immigrated after the Holy Land's conquest. [...] Consequently, many local Christians converted to Islam. Thus, almost twelve centuries later, when the army led by Napoleon Bonaparte arrived in the Holy Land, most of the local population was Muslim. [...] The Holy Land's transformation from an area populated mainly by Christians into a region whose population was predominantly Muslim was the result of two processes: immigration and conversion</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=The+Islamization+of+the+Holy+Land%2C+634-1800&rft.place=Leeds%2C+UK&rft.pages=3-4&rft.pub=Arc+Humanities+Press&rft.date=2022&rft_id=info%3Aoclcnum%2F1302180905&rft.isbn=978-1-64189-222-3&rft.aulast=Ehrlich&rft.aufirst=Michael&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fworldcat.org%2Foclc%2F1302180905&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3APalestinians" class="Z3988"></span></span>

Churches were erected primarily at the holy sites, 12 while at the same time Palestine's position and unique status as the Christian 'Holy Land' became more firmly rooted. All this, coupled with immigration and conversion, allegedly meant that the Christianisation of Palestine took place much more rapidly than that of other areas of the Roman empire, brought in its wake the annihilation of the pagan cults and meant that by the middle of the fifth century there was a clear Christian majority.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=The+Journal+of+Ecclesiastical+History&rft.atitle=The+Christianisation+of+Rural+Palestine+during+Late+Antiquity&rft.volume=54&rft.issue=3&rft.pages=401-421&rft.date=2003&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1017%2Fs0022046903007309&rft.issn=0022-0469&rft.aulast=Bar&rft.aufirst=Doron&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1017%2Fs0022046903007309&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3APalestinians" class="Z3988"></span></span>

Paul De Waart said that the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice in 2004 "ascertained the present responsibility of the United Nations to protect Palestine's statehood. It affirmed the applicability of the prohibition of acquisition of Palestinian territory by Israel and confirmed the illegality of the Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Moreover, the existence of the Palestinian people as the rightful claimant to the Occupied Palestinian Territory is no longer open to question (See De Waart, Paul J. I.

On a basis of polytheistic faith which most probably dates back to pre-Israelite times, we find a growth of the most heterogeneous description: Christian tradition, Moslem history and foreign worship are mingled so as often to be entirely indistinguishable, and the so-called Moslem is found worshipping at shrines consecrated to Jewish, Samaritan, Christian, and often Pagan memories. It is in worship at these shrines that the religion of the peasantry consists. Moslem by profession, they often spend their lives without entering a mosque, and attach more importance to the favour and protection of the village Mukam than to Allah himself, or to Mohammed his prophet... The reverence shown for these sacred spots is unbounded. Every fallen stone from the building, every withered branch of the tree, is carefully preserved.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Palestine+Exploration+Quarterly&rft.atitle=The+Moslem+Mukams&rft.volume=9&rft.issue=2&rft.pages=89-91&rft.date=1877&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1179%2Fpeq.1877.9.2.89&rft.issn=0031-0328&rft.aulast=R.+Conder&rft.aufirst=Claude&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fdetails%2Fquarterlystateme09pale%2Fpage%2Fn100%2Fmode%2F1up%3Fview%3Dtheater&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3APalestinians" class="Z3988"></span></span>
