“…As a result, the Palestinians marked al‐Nakba, whereby much of the population were expelled and displaced in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (Pappe, 2004). Many revolts were attempted by the Palestinian people as they continued to live under Israeli occupation (Cook and others, 2004). The most relevant uprisings are those referred to as the Palestinian intifadas from 1987 to 1993.…”

Palestinian Children: Authors of Collective Memory

This article investigates the premise that Palestinian children are the authors of collective memory. Palestinian society employs an oral tradition that propagates the collective experience among different generations in which the individual dimensions of each is apparent. The oral history for Palestinian children not only illustrates past events, it also provides the tool for grasping the present and traversing the future. In this ethnographic study, 12 Palestinian children from cities, villages and refugee camps in the West Bank were interviewed. The children demonstrated active roles in reconstructing previous collective memory in relation to their own experiences and vigorously restructured the collective memory as a prerequisite for passing it to the next generation.

“…For instance, the majority of children are transferred to facilities within Israel proper, which, given the restrictions on entry by Palestinians, creates significant obstacles to family visitation. Such a transfer is a direct violation of Article 76 of the 1949 Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (Fourth Geneva Convention), forbidding the movement of prisoners out of occupied territory (Cook, Hanieh, and Kay, 2004;DCI -PS, 2009). In many cases, furthermore, the prosecution case rests on a signed confession, which, it is frequently argued, has been extracted from the accused child under duress-a practice enabled by the exclusion of lawyers or other accompanying adults from interrogation processes.…”

“…3 Stone-throwing is defined under Military Order 378 as an offense for which the maximum sentence is 20 years in prison. Like all offenses attracting a five-year-plus tariff, those accused of stonethrowing between the ages of 14 and 17 may be sentenced as adults, thus potentially receiving sentences of between 10-20 years in duration (Cook, Hanieh, and Kay, 2004;Delegation of British Lawyers, 2012). In sharp contrast to the treatment of settler and ultra-orthodox children suspected of engagement in stone-throwing, Palestinian children are liable to lengthy sentences in brutal conditions (ACRI, 2008).…”

Mandated to fail? Humanitarian agencies and the protection of Palestinian children

This paper considers the efforts of United Nations and international agencies to address the threats to Palestinian children arising from Israeli occupation. It contains an account of the reasons why agencies have failed, over many years, to prevent systematic violations by the Israeli authorities and settlers. The discussion is organised around two inter-related domains: institutional and political. The paper argues that, in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), limitations to the ways in which child protection has been conceptualised and pursued in practice are abundantly evident. Nevertheless, political pressure by Western donor governments serves to constrain an approach to child protection that is more preventative in nature, that addresses more explicitly Israeli violations of international law, and that reflects the experience and aspirations of Palestinian children themselves. Ultimately, therefore, the failure to protect Palestinian children must be seen not only as a result of humanitarian miscalculation but also as a consequence of political strategy.

“…However, the existence of the Palestinian Authority (PA) did not ensure freedom nor did it establish a Palestinian state. Israel continued to control Palestinian land and resources while Israeli oppression persisted against the Palestinians (Cook et al 2004). The Israel oppression included killings, imprisonments, destruction of crops, confiscation of Palestinian land, and the building of more settlements in the West Bank.…”

This paper discusses the notion of language as resistance for Palestinian children living in the West Bank. Drawing from the global/local language discourse, children constructed meaning of language that echoed the Palestinian political environment. The study examines the Palestinian children's language usage and language meaning as a method of political resistance, resilience and reworking. Children's conceptualization of language meaning emerged from discussion of the diversity of naming and strategies of resistance. Data for the study was drawn from the interviews of 12 Palestinian children (six females and six males) 11-13 years of age from cities, villages, and refugee camps in the West Bank.
