Palestinian National Authority

brought the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the attention of the world. These terrorist groups use murder, bombs, threats, and other violent acts to get their way politically.

However, women within the Palestinian liberation movement are not merely subjects of patriarchal and nationalistic authority; instead, they are

The Role of Intra-party Opposition in National Liberation Movements By and large, in the latter half of the twentieth century a regime change has meant the victory of a leftist national liberation movement over an oppressive power; whether the new regime makes good on its stated purpose of delivering justice to its people has not evidenced such a standard pattern, however.

Later on, the Israeli forces almost occupied the whole land over the years. Currently, the Palestinians own about 11-15% of the land, while Israelis own the rest of the land (Farah 40).
