	Palestinian homeland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The concept of a Palestinian homeland as a separate entity from the rest of the Arab territory originated in the middle of the 20th century.
		Article 1 Palestine is the homeland of the Arab Palestinian people; it is an indivisible part of the Arab homeland, and the Palestinian people are an integral part of the Arab nation.
		But almost all Palestinian Jordans have retained their Palestinian identity partly because of institutionalised segregation in Jordan between the Palestinian and the native population and because of strong emotional bonds to their previous homes.

	The Avalon Project : The Palestinian National Charter
		The Palestinian identity is a genuine, essential, and inherent characteristic; it is transmitted from parents to children.
		Thus the conflicts among the Palestinian national forces are secondary, and should be ended for the sake of the basic conflict that exists between the forces of Zionism and of imperialism on the one hand, and the Palestinian Arab people on the other.
		Accordingly the Palestinian people, desirous as they are of the friendship of all people, look to freedom-loving, and peace-loving states for support in order to restore their legitimate rights in Palestine, to re-establish peace and security in the country, and to enable its people to exercise national sovereignty and freedom.

	Jewish Post - News - A.B. Yehoshua: Palestinians Do Not Possess Right of Return (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		While the Palestinian population was expected to grow through natural increase, the Jewish state, according to the international community that authorized its establishment, was to devote itself to finding, a solution to the Jewish problem, taking in Jews of all nationalities, particularly Holocaust refugees.
		But during the 19 years in which the Palestinian territory of the West Bank- and the Gaza Strip were under Palestinian, Jordanian, and Egyptian control, all of these refugees could have at least returned to their homeland, becoming displaced persons rather than refugees, and building themselves new homes in their homeland.
		Of course the dream of return that, Palestinian displaced persons and refugees nurtured in their hearts had no connection to a political solution, or to the fact that they had embarked on an aggressive war against the Jews.

	Seeing the Past: Mapping the Past, Recreating the Homeland: Contemporary Palestinian Recollections of pre-1948 Life
		These village memorial books, written by Palestinian refugees who have long struggled to have their voices heard, certainly are an example of the work of a segment of the population who are seizing the opportunity to express their own history and perspectives.
		Palestinians story the places of their past through verse, personal recollections, collective histories, maps, and artwork, and the activities of people transform the physical place -- buildings of a neighborhood, the village square, or a tree -- into meaningful spaces of village and communal life.
		But this is not because Palestinians were peasants – approximately half of the Palestinian population in 1948 lived in cities -- rather it is an idealization of such practices that reinforces the land as essential to Palestinian existence and defining who they are and thus is an intrinsic part of their continued struggle.

	BORR Terrorism News: Obituary: Edward Said, 67, scholar and advocate of Palestinian homeland
		Said, who was born in Jerusalem during the British mandate in Palestine and emigrated to the United States as a teenager, spent a long career as a professor of comparative literature at Columbia and was the author of several widely discussed books.
		Most of the conference's members belonged to the main Palestinian organizations, most importantly the Palestine Liberation Organization led by Yasser Arafat, but some were members of smaller organizations believed responsible for terrorist operations against Israelis and Americans, such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
		Palestinians, Said told Dinitia Smith in New York magazine in 1989, are "the dispossessed, and what they do by way of violence and terrorism is understandable." He added: "'I totally repudiate terrorism in all its forms.

		On this basis, the Palestinian masses, regardless of whether they are residing in the national homeland or in the Diaspora constitute “ both their organizations and the individuals “ one national front for the retrieval of Palestine and its liberation through armed struggle.
		The liberation of Palestine, from an Arab viewpoint, is a national duty and it attempts to repel the Zionist and imperialist aggression against the Arab homeland, and aims at the elimination of Zionism in Palestine.
		Palestinians feel that their obligation was to abrogate those sections of the Charter, which call for the destruction of Israel “ and that this obligation has been fulfilled.

	F L A M E : A Homeland for the Palestinians?: Why they? How about all those others? been revived?
		That “homeland,” it is generally agreed, would consist of the Gaza Strip and most of Judea/Samaria, generally referred to as the “West Bank.” Even many good people in the U.S. and even our president, a well-intentioned man, advocate a “homeland,” a Palestinian state, at the end of the so-called “road map.”?
		Never during those years was there ever a demand for a “Palestinian homeland.” Only after the Six-Day War in 1967, when the territories reverted to Israeli control, did the insistent clamor for a “Palestinian homeland” arise.
		The quest for an independent homeland for the Palestinians is unwarranted because the Palestinians are not a distinct people which never had or even claimed such a homeland, and because the creation of such a homeland would be an existential threat to Israel.

	F L A M E : A "Palestinian Homeland:" Is it a valid aspiration or an unwarranted demand?
		In 1948, the Palestinian State of Jordan, in an act of naked aggression, invaded the just-born state of Israel.
		The thought of creating a second "Palestinian" state in the "West Bank," in addition to the Palestinian state of Jordan, did not occur to anyone — certainly not to the "Palestinians," not to any of the 22 Arab countries, and not to the rest of the world.
		The real and never changing purpose of the Arabs is not the attainment of "the rights of the Palestinian people," autonomy in the administered territories, or even a state of their own in what is now called the "West Bank." The real purpose has never changed.

		However, what emerges from a careful analysis of his statements since the outbreak of Palestinian violence in September 2000 is that Arafat has not abandoned his aspirations to bring about the destruction of the State of Israel, and he continues to view demographics as a prime vehicle for achieving this goal.
		Palestinian soil is considered holy Islamic territory, eternal and indivisible, containing Jerusalem and the al-Aqsa mosque (site of the initial direction of worship for Islam prior to the change in the direction of prayer to Mecca), today the third most important holy site to Muslims after the Saudi Arabian cities of Mecca and Medina.
		The Palestinian struggle is not merely a national-political struggle, but primarily one with religious significance that draws its inspiration from the Islamic conquests of the days of the Prophet Mohammed.

		Jewish Palestinian homeland to lay the seeds of what would become in 1946 the Arab Palestinian Nation of "Trans-Jordan," meaning: "across the Jordan River." The Palestinian Arabs now had their "Arab Palestinian" homeland.
		On May 14, 1948 the Palestinian Jews finally declared their own State of Israel and became "Israelis." On the next day, Israel was at war with seven neighboring Arab armies: Egypt, Trans-Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Yemen.
		When you hear news reports that talk about “Israeli occupation of the Palestinian homeland”, I hope you’ll be able to put that spin in the context of that area’s history.
