“The land we carry in our blood” - Mahmoud Darwish. Those words represent the truest identity of the Palestinian people. Despite their diaspora, they were never hindered from always being connected in some way or another to their homeland. The Palestinian culture is well known for being quite the family-loving type, their migration did not wipe from their memories their family-oriented nature. Instead, some people are known to host gatherings every week. Furthermore, as a part of their traditions, people would take off their footwear before entering the house of the people they are visiting. Moreover, respect represents an important factor in their culture, which I personally see depicted in the elderly living with their eldest sons. Palestinians generally have been through endless conflicts during the British ruling; however, this did not stop them from excelling in endless fields. Personally, I believe that it is the land of prosperity. For starters, they were famous for exporting citrus, olives and even oranges from Jaffa. Oranges were a popular fruit during the late 19th century in Northern Europe before the invention of refrigerators. Fun fact, Olives have been discreetly associated with Palestine that it almost became like a symbol for it. Their ability to export a diverse group of products was attributed to them being one of the first agricultural sites globally. However, Palestinians were not solely the reason for their brilliant reputation in agriculture; rather it was nature along with the hardworking Palestinian farmers. Nature has spoon-fed the Palestinian farmers, through its idealistic environment, like having a suitable atmosphere or landscape.
