“Basma,” a licensed pharmacist in Gaza, was repeatedly harassed by Hamas over her affiliation with Fatah. After she opened her own pharmacy, Hamas priced her out of the market,
forcing her to shut it down.

Imagining Palestine: Cultures of Exile and National Identity, by Tahrir Hamdi. (Photo: Book Cover)

In her recent work, “Imagining Palestine”, Tahrir Hamdi has made an intriguing, thought-provoking, and challenging discussion on the idea and reality of Palestine. Imagining Palestine is the ongoing process of remembering and living the ongoing tragedies of the nakba – and keeping alive the culture, geography, and ideals of the Palestinian people. There are two main themes that stand out throughout the ‘imagining’ process: the ideas of exile and the necessity of violent resistance.

Hamas has been a strongly maligned actor within the western mainstream media. The concise and well-written “Engaging the World” by Daud Abdullah presents a clear picture of Hamas’ attempts to act as an international state actor while at the same time continuing its role as a liberation movement against Israeli occupation.

All those keys, still not a nation.

I also laugh at the fact that Palestine is not a nation. And never has been one.

Well, the outcome will probably not be based on the ground truth. It will be a political decision set that is shrouded in reinterpretations of the events (post-1948) and the clouded legal interpretations that really have little true value in reality. If the outcome is as simple as the Arab Palestinians claim, then the Political/Military conflict would have been resolved before the turn of the century.

There are conflicting truths. The two most reoccurring arguments are:


◈ Whether the entity called Palestine was a true State by the 1939 Montevideo Convention.
◈ And then the arguments that orbit the question of "annexation."
◈ And then the truly big argument is the question of the application of the allegation of "Apartheid."

Territories of a similar nature is that of Taiwan [(is it the Republic of China (ROC) or the People's Republic of China (PRC)]? China is not going to drop its claim to Taiwan. But the question of self-determination is still up in the air.

There is the question of Crimea. Occupied by Russia since 2014, it the conquest going to stand. What sovereignty is Crimea? What will happen if the PRC is allowed to take back the ROC?

What will happen to the actual application of the truth on the ground in the Middle East? Who will make these decisions?

As of this moment, I don't see Israel as giving the Ramallah Government (if you can call it that) one square centimeter of ground. And it will be questionable if the Administrators will give the Palestinians a reserved parking space anywhere on the Government Campus.
