“…have been sympathetic to the Arab-Muslim woman because of her ummah identity, but Matar (2006Matar ( , p. 1028 notes that the frequent public images of grieving Muslim women are a way of reinforcing the perception of uncontrolled hysteria that many Westerners have come to accept as typical Muslim behaviour. In other words, readers and viewers are being fed stereotypical images to reinforce their impression that violence and chaos are familiar in Muslim environments.…”

“…Therefore, in terms of physical cross-border connections, many Palestinians in Greece have to rely either on sporadic trips to Palestine, trips to the wider Middle East that are for some, more regular, or no trips out of Greece at all. The majority, however, rely heavily on cross-border communications in the form of the mass media (through satellite television), the Internet and regular phone calls to family and friends in Palestine and the wider Middle East (for more on such communications and the role of the media, see Hanafi 2005 andMatar 2006). Although there are only a small number of Palestinians in Athens, it is a useful site for research for several reasons.…”

In this article I focus on constructions of diasporic national identities and the nation as active and strategic processes using the case study of Palestinians in Athens. I seek, thereby, to However, he feels he has learnt to be Palestinian because of his time in Athens and that an integral part of this realization was the process of politicization that came about through contact with other Palestinians in Athens advocating the Palestinian cause, as well as Greeks supportive of the cause. In the same interview, he also talks about having actively to 'remain connected' to Palestine, his homeland (although in reality he is connected to his relatives who live in Jordan) and what he calls his roots through cross-border connections as he feels he is becoming 'more' Greek over time. For him, being Palestinian (and married to a Greek woman) is a dynamic, creative but also problematic process. He knows his life is grounded in Athens but he is also positioning himself continuously between 'here' and 'there', the past (that he has left behind but that is part of his present political imagination) and the future, as he constantly tries to make sense of what being Palestinian means (and will mean) to himself and his Greek-Palestinian children.

“…These groups remain less assimilated into their host societies' (Rinnawi, 2012(Rinnawi, : 1456. In making Arabs and Muslims in the West less of a minority, the web increases not only their sense of identity as Arabs and Muslims, but also their self-confidence (Harb & Bessaiso, 2006;Miladi, 2006;Matar, 2006;Rinnawi, 2010;Sedgwick, 1998).…”

“…The second is the study of Zahera Harb and Ehab Bessaiso (2006) on the Arab Muslim Diaspora audiences in the U.K., in regard to television after September 11th. The third is Dina Matar's (2006) study on the Palestinian Diaspora in the United Kingdom and their reactions to the September 11th attacks and media reports on the event. The main conclusion of the three studies is that the Diaspora's members have heavily consumed Arabic satellite television since its inception, particularly since they mistrust the local British and Western television programmes, because they perceive them to be biased and one-sided against Arab and Islam (Rinnawi, 2010: 267)".…”

This 'stateless' condition has a direct impact on Palestinians' media consumption and media production. The reality in the region is harsh; conflicts within and without prevent journalists from operating freely. It is in this point that the problem lies: the Palestinians need for information is pressing, but as it is a conflict area there are major obstacles that impede media outlets from distributing news that would answer demands for consistency, accuracy and, most importantly, for real time updates. As the findings show, the revolution in new technology has answered
