Welcome to my blog

 
Dear visitor,

The Palestine Project is a growing idea that aims at educating people about Palestine in general and Gaza Strip in particular. As an individual who works in a think tank, I look forward for transferring my daily think-tank experience into this blog. 

The Palestine Project provides scholars, researchers, journalists, and decision-makers with accurate information and analyses about urgent issues in Gaza Strip. Every issue will be analyzed and presented in a simple way to raise the awareness towards it.

The next step is to connect this blog with the West Bank to create overall analyses about Palestine.

The Palestine Project is an individual effort by Jehad Abusalim- Palestinian researcher from Gaza Strip and works as project coordinator at PalThink for Strategic Studies. This blog is not related to any government, political party or religious group.

Regards,

Jehad Abusalim
Gaza Strip, Palestine

The Lost City of Gaza (Part 1)

The Lost City of Gaza (Part 1) By: Jehad Abusalim  Old cities are the jewels of any society or civilization. With their narrow alleys, houses, castles, worship places, and markets, old cities tell whoever walks through many stories, not only about the past, but also about the present, and the future. While those who built every single stone of these cities rest in peace under the ground, the ruins they left behind them stand for hundreds of years to narrate the stories of those who passed away: stories of love, hatred, peace, war, understanding, etc. Indeed, these cities in every single part of our world are eternal histories that should be preserved and protected. Talking about the value old cities is a long talk. These places, needless to say, are extremely important not only for their historical value, but also for their human meanings. What I mean by ‘human meanings’ here is the valuable heritage of ‘human interaction’ within the bricks of these cities. In fact, interac

Improving Politics Education for Youth in Palestine: Brightening the Future Through its Makers Jehad Abusalim- Gaza Young people are integral to a society’s development and peaceful transition. On the eve of International Youth Day, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) released a statistical review on the status of Palestinian youth [1] . Statistics indicate that youth comprises one third of Palestinian Society.  According to the PCBS report, Youth represents 29.8% of the total population of the Palestinian Territory (West Bank and Gaza Strip). These statistics indicate that the stability and sustainability of the Palestinian society will be mainly ensured by engaging youth and making them equal partners in policy making, design, and development. Regrettably, the reality of youth does not rise to a level where they are socially and politically involved in their society. In the study entitled “Palestinian Youth and the Arab Spring,” conducted by Norwegian
