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

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, int...

كيف تتحكم اسرائيل بالعرب؟؟ جهاد أبو سليم- بال ثينك للدراسات الاستراتيجية هل ما نعيشه اليوم من انتكاسات بسبب اسرائيل هو نتيجة "لمؤامرات" حيكت في الخفاء؟ أم أن اسرائيل اتبعت سياسات ممنهجة ومنظمة ضد العرب والفلسطينيين على مر السنين، و أن العرب والفلسطينيين لم يدركوا مغزى هذه السياسات الا بعد فوات الأوان؟ وفوات الأوان هنا، في وجهة نظري، هو التأخر في قراءة ومتابعة كل ما يصدر عن مؤسسات الابحاث والدراسات الاسرائيلية والعالمية، وعدم ربط كل ما تقوم به اسرائيل من أفعال وتحليل مغزاها. سنعود بالزمن  30   عاماً، وبالتحديد الى عام  1980 ، الى كتاب هام يشرح كيف تتحكم اسرائيل بالاقلية الفلسطينية في أراضي عام  1948 . جون رويدي يعرض قراءة لكتاب " العرب في الدولة اليهودية: اسرائيل تتحكم في اقلية قومية"، على صفحات موقع تقرير واشنطن عن شؤون الشرق الأوسط*.  مؤلف الكتاب هو إيان لوستيك، أستاذ العلوم السياسية في جامعة بنسلفانيا، يقدم في كتابه "العرب في الدولة اليهودية: اسرائيل تتحكم في اقلية قومية" تحليلاً وافياً لعناصر "نظام معقد للتحكم" تقوم اسرائيل من خلاله...
