Palestinian nationalism is a political and cultural movement that seeks to establish and promote the identity and rights of the Palestinian people. It emerged in the early 20th century, particularly in response to the growing Jewish immigration to Palestine and the subsequent establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The movement emphasizes the importance of self-determination, national identity, and the historical connection of Palestinians to the land. The movement has been characterized by various forms of resistance, including political activism, cultural expression, and armed struggle. Key organizations, such as the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), have played significant roles in advocating for Palestinian rights and statehood. Palestinian nationalism remains a central issue in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
