“…According to Nassar (1997, p. 77), the culture of resistance in Palestine is constituted by three major aspects: (1) as a response to Israel's colonization of Palestine; (2) as a psychological motivation to recover lost rights; and (3) establishing the absence of meaningful peaceful channels for legitimate change. The conflation of these three aspects empowered the Palestinian intifada -the uprising against Israel's occupation (Merari et al, 2007) -representing the ongoing resistance against colonial powers. The aspect of most importance in contextualizing the Palestinian intifada is the need to maintain and protect Palestinian identity.…”

Imagine for a moment, your childhood home, the home you grew up in and your favorite activities within it, perhaps playing in the backyard, or learning a new recipe in the kitchen. Now imagine a powerful authority has moved in and taken up residence forcefully. This authority controls where you can and cannot go inside your own home and now, the places you once played in, are merely memories. This is the case for millions of Palestinians in their homeland. May 15th of 1948 commemorates Al-Nakba, marking the beginning of Israel’s occupation of Palestine. By exploring the historical context of the Israel-Palestine conflict, this major research paper examines how Israel’s continued denial of Palestinian statehood has rendered Palestinians stateless, and what implications this poses for Palestinian refugees in the context of migration and settlement. In doing so, this paper also addresses the current efforts put forth by Israel for further annexation of Palestinian territory. Key Words: Al-Nakba, Occupation Statelessness, Refugee, Annexation.

“…But the younger generation arose, less accepting more demanding and militant, to herald the onset of the first intifada (1987). 24 That intifada was characterized by 'demonstrations' of children (ages 7 to 10) burning tires to create smoke to attract soldiers, 25 placing large rocks in roads to slow traffic and learning to hurl, or slingshot, stones at passing cars (age 11-14). The veteran stone throwers were aged 15-19.…”
