Falastin quote
By Mary Rizzo • Jun 20th, 2008 at 14:24 • Category: Falastin, QuotesThe identity of the Palestinian people is continually challenged, with Palestinians identified as Arabs, giving them an “advantage linguistically of dislocating Palestinians from the geographical area” allowing the belief on the Israeli part “That Palestinians should, and eventually will, transition to other states.” The Palestinian identity is further restricted by “dividing the Westbank into enclaves [restricting] the flow of national consciousness,” restricting university access, confiscating land, and using “a model of separation akin to apartheid.”
