	Definitions of Palestine and Palestinian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Palestine was divided between the Vilayet of Beirut and the Sanjak of Jerusalem.
		A "Palestinian" can mean a person who is born in the geographical area known prior to 1918 as "Palestine", or a former citizen of the British Mandate territory called Palestine, or an institution related to either of these.
		Britain used the term "Palestinian" to refer to all persons legally residing in or born in the boundaries of the British Mandate of Palestine without regard to their ethnicity, religion, or place of origin.

	Encyclopedia: Palestinian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The 1968 Palestinian National Covenant defines Palestinians as Arabs who had inhabited Palestine before 1947, Jews who had inhabited Palestine before the beginning of the modern Zionist immigrations, and their descendants through the male line.
		Palestinian Arabic is a Levantine Arabic dialect subgroup.
		One distinguishing characteristic of Palestinians is their dialect; almost uniquely among Arabic speakers, Palestinians (with the exception of Beduins), pronounce the letter qaaf as k (Arabic kaaf), while Jordanians and non-Palestinian Arabs usually pronounce it as "g".

	Alternative Palestinian Agenda - Peace Initiative
		A Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza cannot accommodate the number of exiled Palestinians who are prevented from returning to their homes, nor does it address the concerns of the refugees in the West Bank and Gaza whose homes and lands are in what is now Israel.
		To allow for the areas that are mostly populated by Israelis to stay naturally connected to the main Israeli populated areas and the coastal plains, the eastern frontier and the northern frontier of the plains along with the northern and eastern sections of the plains are proposed to remain under Israeli sovereignty.
		Negotiations have set the Palestinian refugee problem aside, left the concerns of the Palestinians in Israel for 'internal' Israeli consideration, overlooked the severity of the demographic crisis in Gaza, and failed to recognize the now native born Israeli population as a fundamental change in the dynamics of the conflict that seeks regional acceptance.

	The Head Heeb: Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Archives
		On the Palestinian side, IJ is continuing to claim the mantle of armed resistance, contrasting itself with Hamas' de facto acquiescence to the Gaza border agreement.
		The majority of Palestinian refugees are stateless, and most of their host countries aren't willing to grant citizenship to them or their descendants, so using the UNHCR definition would complicate the status of children born outside the Mandate.
		The killing of three unarmed Palestinian workers was an evil act deserving of the strongest condemnation, and the state of Israel owes it to the victims' families to prosecute Weisgan to the fullest extent of the law.

	Palestine bei eLexi - das Onlinelexikon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Palestine (Latin Syria Palestina, Hebrew Palestina [פלשתינה] or Eretz Yisrael [ארץ־ישראל], Arabic Filasteen [فلسطين]), is a region in the Middle East extending inland from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea.
		The "State of Palestine", whose independence was declared by the PLO in the 1980s, claims these territories, and 2/3 of the world's nations recognize the "State of Palestine" as a state.
		Palestine has been recognized as a state (in the de jure sense) by 94 countries[1], and there is a seat for "Palestine" in the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Conference.

	Palestinian Identity
		The Palestinian culture was chosen as a representative of an Arab, Eastern culture, a "being culture" (Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck, 1961; Okabe, 1983) and "high-context culture" (Hall, 1976) as to contrast with the American culture which is representative of the Western culture, a "doing culture," (Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck, 1961; Stewart, 1972) and "low-context culture" (Hall, 1976).
		Hence, the tenacious and persistent resistance of Palestinians living in the refugee camps against resettlement: for a refugee to accept resettlement is to forfeit his or her Palestinian identity.
		While Palestinians have been developing a more present orientation because of their recent history, the dominant orientation is the past, one's father, one's grandfather, the family tradition, the village tradition, the Palestinian tradition.

	Development Studies Programme (DSP) - Palestinian Human Development Reports
		Due to the absence of the conditions necessary for the production of a Palestine report on human development (political and social stability, availability of credible data), it was decided that a development profile be issued as a prelude to the production of a development report, as is the case in other countries in the world.
		The Palestine Profile presents concepts, visions and tools to enrich development issues in a process conducive to constructive dialogue, and serves political decision-makers, development experts, academics, researchers and institutions in streamlining decisions on development issues, in fostering the concept of human development, adapting it and applying it in Palestine.
		Chapter 2 discusses the development environment in Palestine, including population, natural resources, development initiatives in Palestine, PNA jurisdiction under the Declaration of Principles (the Oslo Agreement), challenges of the transitional stage and, lastly, the establishment of a Palestinian development perspective.

	UNODC - Terrorism Definitions
		The question of a definition of terrorism has haunted the debate among states for decades.
		A first attempt to arrive at an internationally acceptable definition was made under the League of Nations, but the convention drafted in 1937 never came into existence.
		In order to cut through the Gordian definitional knot, terrorism expert A. Schmid suggested in 1992 in a report for the then UN Crime Branch that it might be a good idea to take the existing consensus on what constitutes a "war crime" as a point of departure.

	Palestinian Holocaust (by Edna Yaghi) - Media Monitors Network
		The Palestinians that fled their homes did so because of the atrocities committed by Jewish terrorist groups such as the Irgun and Stern gangs when they massacred whole villages of Palestinian civilians such as at Deir Yassin.
		Modern anthropologists believe that today’s Palestinians are descended from the Canaanites who are the earliest recorded inhabitants of the land and the Philistines.
		What the Arabs are against is the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and the terrorist acts that have been constantly carried out against the Palestinian people even before the creation of this Jewish war state.

	israeli palestinian information
		The Palestinians are a group of mainly Arabic speakers who regard themselves as a distinct branch of the Arabic-speaking peoples, with family origin in the region called Palestine being the defining characteristic.
		The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics announced on October 20, 2004 that the number of Palestinians worldwide at the end of 2003 is 9.6 million, an increase of 800,000 since 2001.
		The Palestinian Bedouin, however, are much more securely known to be Arab by ancestry as well as by culture; their distinctively conservative dialects and pronunciation of qaaf as gaaf group them with other Bedouin across the Arab world and confirm their separate history.

	Palestine Media Watch -- Spread the Palestinian point of view
		During that period, seven news stories were found that used the word "vigilante" somewhere in the text, and not in the context of a quotation.
		Of those, six instances of the word "vigilante" were preceded by the word "Jewish" or "Israeli." The only time a Palestinian group was described as a "vigilante" group was in reference to Palestinians who carry out attacks on other Palestinians suspected of conspiring with the Israelis.
		Seven children and a teacher were lightly injured...Almost immediately after the blast, a group calling itself "Revenge of the Innocent Babes," apparently a Jewish vigilate group, sent beeper messages to news agencies asserting responsibility for the blast.

		The first three programmes are based on the lifecycle of the Palestinian child, and the fourth programme supports the other three.
		Initiatives to keep children in school such as the ‘Back to School' campaign helped 1 million Palestinian children to be in school by September and remain in school throughout the school year.
		Since 80 per cent of Palestinian parents reported a change in their children’s behaviour, UNICEF's response to the increased psychosocial distress among Palestinian children affected by violence includes the training of school counsellors, kindergarten teachers and social workers.

	Pedantry - everything that bored you to death in high school
		I've already argued that there is no moral equivalence between Israel and the Palestinians, but that same argument does create an ontological equivalency between Israel and Hamas and I'm seeing a lot of moral equivalency in their current behaviour.
		The Palestinians, because they are not a collective, are not responsible for terrorism, even when it is undertaken in their name by some collective entity.
		The Palestinians are not even a member of the same category as Israel, and thus no moral equivalency is possible.

	Palestinian State (proposed)
		The Palestinian Authority (PA), with Arafat its elected leader, took control of the newly non-Israeli-occupied areas, assuming governmental duties in 1994.
		The history of the proposed modern Palestinian state, which is expected to be formed from the territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, began with the British Mandate of Palestine.
		The Palestinian Authority (PA), with Arafat as its elected leader, took control of the newly non-Israeli-occupied areas, assuming all governmental duties.

		Zedan was assigned to initiate the organizational infrastructure for aviation in Palestine including the formation of the structural and executive administrations of the the Aviation Authority, building airports, establishing and operating the Palestinian Airline Company.
		As even the term "Palestine" is open to many interpretations and has political connotations, its meaning varies tremendously across differing points of view on the political situation in the area.
		(For varying definitions, see definitions of Palestine.) The first attested use of the term as a geographical description for the region is in Herodotus, who spoke Greek.

	Israel on my mind
		The term “Palestine” was introduced by the Romans in the 2nd century CE in their attempt to eradicate all traces of the Jewish existence in Eretz Israel, the Land of Israel.
		The term “Palestine,” whose official use ceased after Romans, would, however, be revived to designate the area mandated to Great Britain by the League of Nations as a consequence of the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
		Thus, according to the definitions in existence, be it the Roman one or the pre- and post-Transjordan ones, the territory described by the term “Palestine” includes either Israel, or both Israel and Jordan.

	Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign: Trapped Like Mice: Palestinians Under the New Israeli "Disengagement Plan"
		The Apartheid Wall, with its horrendous effects on Palestinian life and land, does not stand alone, but is today merging with the longstanding Israeli settlement policy and the creation of Jewish-only infrastructure into a comprehensive scheme for colonial domination and conquest.
		An appalling plan for Palestine is shaping up behind Israeli slogans of “disengagement”; behind the British “initiative to revive the Road Map”; and behind the U.S. drive to force through the completion of Israeli plans that finalize the Bantustanization of the Palestinian people.
		While providing a façade of “maximum contiguity” among Palestinian areas to the international community—after all, the claim goes, these junctions connect the Palestinian Bantustans with each other, thus providing “contiguity”—this project is in fact aimed at guaranteeing full Israeli control over the West Bank even after a mock “withdrawal” of the Israeli army.

		The light of Jerusalem was gray and the colour of Jerusalem was light brown--and the soil of Palestine was ordinary.
		The Palestinian and I turned left, passed the Israeli soldiers, and walked towards the end of the alley, where a huge blue gate was guarded by yet another pack of Israeli soldiers.
		It is not just the Palestinian land that they have occupied; their own soul is an occupied territory, occupied by a mechanical force geared on self-destruction.

	Neolithic Palestinian Tahunian (Flint Industry)
		The first was an exploratory stage commencing with the 1928 definition of Buzy of the fuzzy concept of "Tahunian".
		Buzy avoided calling these asseblages Neolithic because the definition then currently in use required the appearance of (1)polished bifacial tools or sawlike blades - (2)"advanced" (leaf-shaped) arrowheads - (3)large grinding stones - to qualify as Neolithic.
		Apparently only formal considerations concerning then-contemporary definitions of cultures prevented Buzy from asserting that the Tahunian was a Neolithic Culture.

	The Jewish Palestinian Encounter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		I believe the fact that Israel still controls all the borders of Palestine is an issue that must be solved by negotiation between the parties because the overwhelming majority of Palestinians do not want to have all the borders of the future state of Palestine controlled by Israel.
		Her supposedly innocuous statement was interpreted by most if not all Palestinians as a feeble attempt to wipe the history books clean of the Palestinian people, just as deliberately as many anti-Semites want to wipe the history books clean of the Holocaust.
		All Jabotinsky and his friends accomplished was to plant in Palestine more seeds of violence and terror, the fruits of which the residents of Israel and Palestine are still reaping.

		This film relates the story of Kim Phuc, who, years after reaching world renown as the nine-year-old girl who was running naked in the famous Vietnam War photograph, went to the United States where she promoted an atmosphere of peace and forgiveness.
		This film documents Palestinian's and Israeli's first year after the implementation of the Israeli-Palestinian peace accords.
		The final section of this three-part film examines a number of groups, some that are working in tangent who are building peaceful relations between Israelis and Palestinians.
