“…There was however, a dominant evidence of material benefit as well that the country gained from the immigration. There were new energy sources in the country, more capital and the value of land appreciated significantly (Morris, 2004).…”

Palestinian nationalism refers to the idea that supports the formation of an Arab Palestinian state with respect to British Mandate of Palestine. In order to test the applicability of the Palestinian nationalism growth, examination of print sources is carried out with respect to Zionism. Its emergence dates after 1967 in the Ottoman loyalty. 1967 onwards marked distinctive Palestinian nationalism, which was at loggerheads with the Israeli state right from the start. Yet, there were differences in how Palestinian nationalism functioned and evolved with respect to the Israeli Arabs and the Palestinian refugees. As a conclusion, a separate Palestinian nationalism took place chiefly to cater to the Zionism issue.

“…In August, the Israeli government agreed, among other things, to demolish depopulated Arab villages in order to prevent the return of their residents. In November, Israel conducted census, and later appropriated the property of anyone who was absent (Morris, 1991;see also Fischback, 2003;Golan, 2001, 201-209).…”

“…These attacks, defined as "not justified" by the United Nations (UN), are not described by the JNF (2006: 105), which only says that Israeli forces "acted" there and that the villages "were abandoned and their residents escaped, without battle." In almost no other cases do texts of JNF talk about artillery attacks by the Jewish forces or the Israeli Army during the 1948 war against the villages, even though such events led to the depopulation of a vast majority of the villages mentioned in JNF texts (Morris, 1991).…”

Roots Tourism–Whose Roots?

Israel is the contested homeland of both the Jewish-Israeli and the Arab-Palestinian peoples. In the practice of tourism, Israel highlights sites of Jewish history and tends to neglect those of Palestinian history. Many of the Palestinian villages and heritage sites were destroyed by Israel in 1948 and onwards, or were gradually dilapidated due to lack of official care. Large-scale Palestinian roots tourism does not exist, due to the impossibility of most Palestinians to gain access into Israel. This paper explores an unusual form of roots tourism: the encounter between Jewish-Israelis and Palestinian depopulated villages that are located today within the boundaries of Israeli tourist sites. The paper demonstrates that the villages are largely ignored or marginalized in the information given to the public. The tourism authorities therefore underestimate the roots of the Palestinians in the country and portray an overall picture of a Jewish country, with very minor Arab heritage.

“…This well designed though violent project brought on the ruin of the indigenous Palestinian people and created the Nakba (catastrophe, in Arabic), and the birth of the Palestinian refugee problem (Said, 1979;Khalidi, 1984;Morris, 1987Morris, , 1990Morris, /1999Beit-Hallahmi, 1992).…”
