	Palestine - Crystalinks
		Palestine is the region between the Mediterranean Sea and the banks of the Jordan River, plus various adjoining lands to the east and south.
		Egyptian hegemony and Canaanite autonomy were constantly challenged during the 2nd millennium BC by such ethnically diverse invaders as the Amorites, Hittites, and Hurrians.
		Palestine was holy to Muslims because the Prophet Muhammad had designated Jerusalem as the first qibla (the direction Muslims face when praying) and because he was believed to have ascended on a night journey to heaven from the area of Solomon's temple, where the Dome of the Rock was later built.

	Palestine Report - Another glitch in the Egyptian plan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A DAY before Egyptian Intelligence Chief, Omar Suleiman, was scheduled to arrive in Ramallah and Tel Aviv to discuss Egypt's Gaza initiative, Palestinian factions meeting in Gaza on June 21 issued a statement denouncing any future role for the neighboring state.
		On June 22, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmad Maher reaffirmed in Cairo that his country's role would be based on a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, also denying that a canal was being dug along the Palestinian-Egyptian border.
		One Egyptian demand, that Israel cease all military operations in Gaza as a precondition to deploy security advisors in the area was unsurprisingly, adamantly, refused.

	HISTORY OF THE PALESTINE PROBLEM
		Palestine was among the several former Ottoman Arab territories which were placed under the administration of Great Britain under the Mandates System adopted by the League of Nations pursuant to the League's Covenant (Article 22).
		The exception was Palestine where, instead of being limited to "the rendering of administrative assistance and advice" the Mandate had as a primary objective the implementation of the "Balfour Declaration" issued by the British Government in 1917, expressing support for "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people".
		During the years of the Palestine Mandate, from 1922 to 1947, large-scale Jewish immigration from abroad, mainly from Eastern Europe took place, the numbers swelling in the 1930s with the notorious Nazi persecution of Jewish populations.

	Palestine Report - Egyptian initiative deserves Palestinian support
		Connected with this, is Egyptian willingness to ease any withdrawal and put an end to the four-decades old occupation of the Strip and its people.
		The Egyptian initiative declares that Egypt is ready to participate in implementing the road map and it sees the withdrawal from Gaza as a part of the road map or at least that it should to be.
		Although what happens in the Gaza Strip affects the Egyptian national security, and their interference partially serves their benefits, we are convinced that the overall aim is to recover Palestinian lands and rights in the Strip as a first stage to recovering all the occupied territories of 1967.

		To instigate a quarrel with the revolting Egyptians, Apophis, the Hyksos king, sent the Egyptian king, Seqenenre, a message demanding that he stop molesting the hippopotami in the palace pools of Thebes.
		Segenenre, the Egyptian king, was killed as a result of multiple wounds inflicted to his head and his skull still survives at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
		In the articles of luxury, the Egyptians also found much to learn and envy, as the love of display of all the petty Canaanite princes had increased their demand for jewels and costly vessels.

		The most significant of those was Fatah, the mainstream faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which later enacted revolutionary changes in the political program of the organization and raised Palestinian public awareness and acceptance of a pragmatic political settlement with Israel.
		The Israeli occupation of Palestinian and Arab territories in 1967 also represented a new era of suffering for the Palestinian people under occupation.
		Israel responded to the uprising with the "iron fist" policy, which entailed the breaking of bones and the use of both rubber bullets and live ammunition, and various forms of collective punishment, including mass arrests, administrative detention, widespread curfews, the demolition of homes, deportations and the closure of the territories.

	Iraq, Palestine, and U.S. Imperialism by Toufic Haddad
		The modern national movement (embodied in the Palestine Liberation Organization, PLO) was established in 1964-three years before the 1967 occupation, and began as a movement of refugees, expelled by Zionist armies from Palestine in 1948, who sought to lead the return of the Palestinian people back to their lands and homes.
		Their claim was that the direct occupation of Palestinians by the Israeli army was over (because of Palestinian Authority, or PA, autonomy in "Area A" during Oslo) or needed to end, but without mentioning the occupation of Palestinian land.
		In fact, it was precisely the illusion that the problem was the occupation and that the "occupation was ending" during the Oslo "peace process" between 1993 and 2000 that allowed much of the international community to absolve itself of responsibility to the Palestinian cause, at a time when in fact the Israeli occupation was deepening.

		The history reveals that this is a state based on the continuing oppression of the Palestinian people and occupation of their land.
		The Zionists promoted the myth that Palestine, which is about the size of the state of Maryland, was a barren desert, "a land without people for a people without land." In truth, some of the first urban societies in the world originated in historic Palestine, and Palestinians had lived and farmed there for centuries.
		By 1918, there were 680,000 Palestinians living in Palestine, in contrast to 56,000 Jews, and Palestinians owned 97 percent of the land.
