  • The Independent Personal1ty of the Palestinians*
    THE INDEPENDENT PERSONAL1TY OF THE PALESTINIANS* Türkkaya ATAÖV The exodus and the dispersal of the Palestinian people af- ter the occupation of their land by the racist Zionist entity could not hinder the tradition of national expression. This expression, linked to the national question, was even developed as a reaction to foreign invasion. No doubt, the Palestinian armed struggle, follovving the Israeli attack in 1967, has caused an explosion of a potential energy not only in terms of military force, but in the realm of culture and arts. Palestinian culture, in the form of poetry, folk tales, popular singing, dancing, national costumes, embroidery, ceramics, carving, glass and metal work or various other forms of expression, is the vivid proof of the existence of a homeland and a people's yearning for it. The Palestinian masses, under occupation or in exile, are gathering, safeguarding and developing their ovvn culture, knowing ful 1 well that the preservation of culture is an effective vvay of resistance to attempts undermining national consciousness. The Zionist entity has not only looted the land of the Palestini- ans, but is also suppressing their culture and what is more,trying to usurpe it from them. But the Palestinians are engaged in a struggle to obtain recognition of their independent personality and existence. In spite of Zionist aggression, the ı oots of a peop- le, deep in the Palestinian soil, cannot be erased. * The Palestinians were avvare of the dangers posed by Zio- nist immigration, much earlier than generally accepted. Throug- hout many centuries, the Holy Land prospered under the tolerant rule of Arab and Ottoman Turkish sovereigns, who safeguarded * This paper was prepared for an international conference in Baghdad (Iraq) in 1979.
