  • Palestinians in the Syrian Uprising: the Situation on the Ground
    2 Palestinians in the Syrian Uprising: The Situation on the Ground ASHRAF MOUSA Introduction At the outset of the Syrian civil war, Syria was home to 495,970 Palestinian refugees (149,822 living in official camps),1 most of whom had entered, or were descended from individuals who had entered the country in 1948. These refugees, while not techni- cally Syrian citizens, were closely integrated into the Syrian state, enjoying effectively identical rights to Syrian citizens, but retaining a close ideological affiliation to the Palestinian national cause. The Syrian regime also maintained and funded a number of Palestinian resistances organizations, while relating to others in various different ways over time.2 When the protests that would escalate into the Syrian rev- olution and then the Syrian civil war began in 2011, Palestinians living in Syria found themselves on the horns of a dilemma. On the one hand, they had reason to be grateful to the regime, which had rooted its claims to legitimacy in its staunch support for the Palestinian cause.3 And yet on the other, this same argument could also be reframed as entailing a debt of gratitude to the Syr- ian people in their liberation struggle. On top of this, Palestinians needed to factor in the divergent positions taken by the key Pal- estinian factions, the regime’s long cultivation of loyalist Pales- tinian front groups and, of course, the self-interested question of which side was likely to win. This study seeks to shed light on how and why Palestinian communities in Syria arrived at the political positions they ulti- mately did in relation to the conflict.

Thousands of children live here in poverty and many children have to work and do not attend school. In Silwan, the Arab and Jewish communities are living separate lives from each other and do not have any opportunity for artistic collaboration or any exchange of cultural identities. This separation will lead to further segregation, exclusion and mutual misunderstanding. In the local community centre of Madaa, music education and music activities is provided to about 150 talented children, irrespective of their religious background. They will have the opportunity to learn about their musical heritage, to play together, to share the joy of music and to communicate at an artistic level. This will foster mutual respect and understanding and hopefully, in the long term, contribute to the peace process. In 2007, the first group of 50 children started with an introduction year. In October 2008, they will enrol in the instrumental lessons after they have chosen an instrument. Then a new group will start an introduction year. 2 Jordan Projectnumber: 8 International Music Therapy Institute Location Amman Projectowner: National Music Conservatory Website: www.nmc.edu.jo Supervisor: Mr.
