Palestine: the things you don’t hear about

Not specifically 'Palestinian'....just google "Bedouin dresses".
That's actually traditional Bedouin dress.

As much as the Kaffiyah:



The indigenous tradition of the Levant is closely tied with the BLUE color,
that was produced from specific sea snails, the color culturally symbolic of Levant,
as well as being one of its most unique industries, and accordingly region's economy.

Local Levantine women traditionally wore Blue head covering and dress,
this tradition can be identified in the traditional Jewish woolen Talit garb,
and the the traditional choice of colors for dresses in Druze culture:

I have never actually seen this ever addressed.
Red is the color of Desert cultures, Levantines are coast people.

Palestinian is a territorial nationality. Due to trade routs and many conquests, Palestine is a multi racial, multi cultural, multi religious, multi ethnic place. That it shares attributes with surrounding state is mostly because a hundred years ago they were all the same place.

It is like saying that the US can't be a country because most everything is from someplace else.

It is really a stupid argument.

That's actually an interesting topic,
however I didn't make any of those strawman arguments.

But I find it interesting that you don't disagree on the factual basis,
that's all I've intended to do - an informative post in response to yours.

There're nomadic Bedouin dresses, and colors:

and there're dresses and colors of specifically local indigenous Levantine culture:

P.S. Territorial nationality is a foreign concept to the region, politically and culturally,
there's an argument to be made about that. If the topic of interest to you I suggest open
a specific thread, not to derail this one, where you can show your counterargument in detail.

Territorial borders were a colonial concept that was also imposed on Africa. It was difficult for the Palestinians to accept that they would no longer be part of Syria. It took them a while to accept that it is what it is.

Wow, I think it's way too far a stretch,
to claim that territorial borders are a foreign concept to the middle east.

I can argue that territorial nationality is a foreign concept, and I think we will agree,
but the principle of borders is a shared human principle, as ancient as civilization itself.

What is interesting though, is that the natural boundary is well seen in the most natural way:

Do we ever hear or see things like that?

Media only shows when Arabs and Jews disagree,
or agree on something, but only when it's something against Israel.
