The Palestinian identity is with the land, time is jumbled, and swirls around it.

But these strands in the Palestinian identity do not usually pull in the same direction.

In the long run it will strengthen the Palestinian identity.

The history of a distinct Palestinian national identity is a disputed issue amongst scholars.

Gelvin argues that this fact does not make the Palestinian identity any less legitimate:

So much of the Palestinian identity has been based on the concept of return to the land.

Certain artists address Palestinian identity in a more broadly historical way.

Today, this symbol of Palestinian identity is now largely imported from China.

Israel is thus clearly showing that a Palestinian identity has no place in its plans to extend the settlements.

This clearly implies that Palestinian identity relied on space in creating their identities.
