Palestinian nationalism

Palestinian nationalism is a political and cultural movement advocating for the rights and self-determination of the Palestinian people, who primarily reside in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and among the diaspora. It emerged in response to historical events, including the displacement caused by the establishment of Israel in 1948 and subsequent conflicts. The movement seeks to establish an independent Palestinian state, promote cultural identity, and achieve recognition of Palestinian rights, often emphasizing historical connections to the land. Nationalism in this context encompasses aspirations for sovereignty, justice, and solidarity among Palestinians.
