“…95 And by that time, the memorialization of Fatah-affiliated suicide bombers was no less Islamic in character than the Hamas-affiliated suicide bombers. 96 Their posters showed jihadists marching against the backdrop of al-Aqsa Mosque and would-be From Arab Palestine to Arab-Islamic Palestine 357 suicide bombers reading the Qur'an against a calligraphic backdrop featuring the shahada (the Muslim profession of faith). 97 When the Palestinian Ministry of Education began publishing textbooks in the year 2000, the Dome of the Rock was being paired with the national flag in the imagery of every major Palestinian faction and militia except the central PLO organization -another indication that the PLO was out of step with the popular feeling.…”

“…Lori Allen describes the mood of zahaq , a state of weariness with the violence of occupation, the failure of nationalist politics, “the saturation of daily life with death and the filling of the social space with its memorialization” (2006:120). Essential to zahaq , the oral histories show a feeling of being fed up with a form of isolation and deepening economic hardships.…”

“…Most striking in the closure's interweaving with everyday life was the frozen picture quality of discussions of the latest acts of political violence that were occurring every day-land confiscations, arrests, births at checkpoints, injuries and martyrdom. These narratives presented themselves as a series of images of visceral bodies in pain resembling those circulated in international, Arab and local media (Allen 2006). I rarely asked about the latest news.…”

Land and space in Palestine, engineered as they were through occupation, have fundamentally shaped experiences of mobility, households, work, and support systems of urban and rural dwellers. Within the various spaces of the Occupied Territories, Palestinians encounter the problems of intensified closure, deteriorating economic conditions but also opportunities for countering their marginalization. Based on the oral histories of midwives, nurses and new mothers in the Central West Bank, this article focuses on the practices of waiting everyday under the changing regime of the closure and mounting poverty. Complementing the literature dealing with structures of control I show how, amidst their disillusionment with politics and the collapse of networks of community‐based solidarity, some women are able to make do amidst an increasingly difficult system of restrictions on mobility by forming shifting alliances and identities as workers, mothers and women.

If we consider visual work as a human activity, it is an ingenious and conscious treatment for a mediator in which the issues of human being are expressed, whether individual private or collective public issues [4,5].…”

Aims:To propose an artistic analysis of the evolution of Palestinian poster art via the analysis of the artwork of the artist Marwan Al-Alan. The artist Marwan Al-Alaan witnessed the tragedy of Palestine and expressed it through his paintings and posters, and he followed the events that Palestine had witnessed through his creative art works in this field. Study Design: The study is a qualitative approach that used the descriptive analysis of literature and interview Place and Duration of Study: The study is a descriptive discussion of the artwork of the Palestinian Artist Marwan Al-Allan. An interview conducted with the artist in October 2017. Methodology: A non-structured interview was conducted with the desire artist to provide an insight of his work and its relation to the Palestinian cause. The author mainly contributes in choosing the proper artwork, which was analyzed for its artistic features and values. Results: It is clear how influenced the Palestinian artist Marwan Al-Alan with his relation to the Palestinian land and with everything that it is going through from events, and how his style, and contents of his works change according to the nature of his connection to the event. The artist's Humidan and Lamat; ARJASS, 8(1): 1-9, 2019; Article no.ARJASS.45648 2 influence with non-Palestinian environment, and its effect of this on his beliefs when he is outside of his country and there are no events related to home like it used to be when the artist was in Jordan during the eighties. It is noted that there is a qualitative difference in the symbols of artistic artwork. Symbols are used during the outbreak of the revolution and armed struggle, but disappeared during the first Intifada (insurrection) and the rock replaced the rifle. In addition, national identity symbols such as Kuffiyeh (Arab head cover) and the map of Palestine were present in some of the paintings and designs. Conclusion: The symbolic indications of elements and the symbols used in the Palestinian graphic experience have contributed to preserving the identity of the Palestinian heritage, and transforming it to the outside world, though in difficulty, since the Palestinian artists lack the freedom to travel due to the Israeli occupation.
