I realized I forgot to add the link to the site so it is now added. It is very interesting. Here is how they describe what they are doing.

What is PiP?
WHAT IS PIP?
Political is Personal / Israel + Palestine is a project of interviews conducted with individual Palestinian and Israeli Jewish women conveying how the conflict has affected their lives. Their stories help to personalize one of the most seemingly intractable conflicts in the world.

HOW - ARE THE STORIES WRITTEN

• All the stories feature Palestinian and Israeli Jewish women, who are 18 years old or above;
• The interviews are conducted either face-to-face, via Skype, email, chat or phone depending on circumstances and on the wishes of the interviewees;
• The first name of the interviewee is included in the title of her story or is completely anonymous - all depending on the wishes of the interviewee;
• Interviews are free-flowing, allowing for the subject's safe, non-judgmental, open telling of her thoughts, experience and feelings.
• Stories are edited only for clarity, flow and structure.
• Tolerance, Respect and Sensitivity: Once the story of an interviewee is written, it is sent back to her for her approval or modifications. Because of the sensitivity of the political situation, and because the stories will be publicly available, no story is published without the full consent of the interviewee.

There is no such place as "Palestine". Never was. Never WILL be.

There is no such place as "Palestine". Never was. Never WILL be.

A Greek called the area where the Philistines lived , Palestine (in the Greek version of the word Palaestina). Once the Romans defeated the Jewish revolts of 135 CE, they used two of the people who defeated the Jews in history to rename the land, so that the Jews would forget their attachment to it and stop fighting the Romans. They named it after the Assyrians and the Philistines.

That is why we have Syria-Palaestina. Which for whichever reason was usually referred to Palaestina/ Palestine (English Version)

The British chose to continue with the humiliation from the Roman times and named the Jewish Nation Mandate, Palestine instead of Israel.

It should have been the Mandate for Israel.

Once the Jews became Independent and threw the word Palestine away in 1948, the Arab leaders used that word in 1964 as another form to delegitimize the Jews. To the point where the Arabs "are" the indigenous people in "Palestine", and not the Jews.

A Palestinian STATE has never been, continuous to not exist and may never come to be recognized, as the Arab/Muslim/Christian intent is to finish taking away the remaining 20% of the Jewish Homeland and make the Jews Stateless again.


That is what most people who only think about destroying Israel do not care to know or find out.

The British called it Palestine because that is what it was. Even Balfour called it Palestine.

ONLY 100 years of Palestinian Architecture? Is it actually "Palestinian Architecture", like it is supposed to be "Palestinian Cuisine?

The Region. There was no State. Discuss this in the proper thread. You DO KNOW which one it is .

To go a bit further. After the Hebrews defeated the Philistines , they moved north where they were annihilated by Sargon 2 of Assyria. The Philistines were thought to be Greco-Cretan people. No relation to the Arabs ,who were bedouins.

They were invaders out of Egypt. Now they are invaders out of Europe.
