INTRODUCTION

 

All our projects start with this page. However, you can skip this page if the content below is familiar to you. If not, why not take a minute?

Let us begin with something that everyone knows, or maybe not everyone, as current generations did not grow up in an era when there was no video but celluloid. And even then, when there were videos (VHS and Betamax), there was no YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, TikTok, or Instagram. The first Internet video hosting site was ShareYourWorld.com, founded in 1997.

There are many definitions of history. However, the simplest way to explain it is to use the pictured images.

A celluloid film consists of a series of frames. Each frame is part of a scene, which, in turn, may be part of a series of scenes. They all together form what is called a sequence. So, a movie is built up by a series of sequences.

If you watch the whole film, you will see a chronology of frames, scenes, and sequences. In today's video technology, you don't need to stretch the movie. It's already done while you load it into a video editor.

Visualizing history is similar: you can imagine it as a complete movie unless you cut it into pieces to remove frames, scenes, or even a whole sequence you don't want people to watch.

Like every movie, any event must have a beginning, as nothing happens in a vacuum. There is always a main cause or root, and it always lies in the past. However, history never stops running  but the Israelis and their followers want to stop.

And so it is about the history of Palestine.

The website is not meant to provide you with the latest developments, or to carry the character of news providing, or to participate in advocacy and activism. It is meant to share our view on the history of Palestine, from biblical times to the present day, illustrated with scientific information.
