Abstract

The exodus and the dispersal of the Palestinian people after 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.
