Abstract

This paper presents narratives gathered from open-ended interviews with Palestinians who have experienced the Israel-Palestinian conflict firsthand. Through these narratives, the paper aims to provide insights into the human side of the conflict, highlighting the emotions, struggles, and aspirations of individuals affected by the ongoing turmoil. The narratives are organized chronologically into four sections, each focusing on a key event in the conflict's history: the British Mandate, the Arab-Israeli War and the Nakba, the First and Second Intifadas, and the Israel-Hamas War. The speakers interviewed come from various backgrounds and hometowns, offering unique perspectives on the impact of these events on their lives and communities. Despite differences in experiences and viewpoints, a shared experience of resilience and perseverance emerges.
