The Palestinians of 1948 (Arab Israelis)
what do you think of them?
Awad Bethlehem
They are repectful people, good people
they help us
Are they different than people from here?
I asked if they are different in how they dress
behave, live
He said no
They are very good people they treat us well
They are not proud Uppity
Do you see a difference between West Bank and 1948 Arabs?
Nancy Jericho
There is a huge difference
When it comes to the way they dress
the way they drive
the way they behave
the way they treat people
How do they drive?
The way they think
Give us an example of one of them or all of them
Most of them think like the Israelis
They think that
Palestine (Israel) is for the Israelis
but we the West Bankers think Palestine (Israel) is for us the Palestinians
But let's get back to what she said
How do they think differently?
in terms of driving or mentality
I don't know, for example their children go to Israeli schools
so the way that they are brought up is that
they belong to Israel
In terms of driving
they (Arab Israelis) drive better more professionally
When you see Palestinians of 1948
is there a difference?
No, it is still the same for me
Can you see the difference?
Duniya Bethlehem
No, I can't see the difference
When you talk to them do you feel a difference in mentality?
No
I don't feel that
They seem the same? - Yes
Ramzi Beit Jala
Palestinians of 1948, those that live in Haifa, Akko
what do you think of them?
Are they different than people here?
Well, now you can see
partially Israeli because they are living inside
but it's better for them because they can come here and go there
without anyone stopping them
How does that make them different if they are a little Israeli?
Do they dress differently? Think differently?
No, they get paid like Israelis
They have an Israeli life
They are free
Abdo Nablus
What do you think of the Arabs of 1948?
Palestinians of the 1948 not Arabs
From which angle?
Culturally. Are they different?
I believe the customs and traditions of the Palestinians are unified
whether they are in the West Bank Gaza or in the 48 lands (Israel)
If he sees a Palestinian from 48 on the street
can he tell he is from there?
Someone in the back said "from his wardrobe"
from the way people dress
No actually, Abdo is saying
that's not true
someone from Jerusalem or the 48 lands?
I believe they are all the same
Even here in Nablus, we have a lot of people living in refugee camps
they are from all over Palestine Jaffa, Akko, Haifa (referring to pre1948)
we are all Palestinian
We see them every day we are very united
we are the same
The difference between Palestinians of 1948
do you see a difference between them and those in the West Bank?
Jamal Ramallah
Not in the way you just said
I said "in terms of thinking, and clothing and the way they look"
but he said yes
Ahmad and Mohammad Ramallah
Yes, there is a huge difference
only in culture
Give an example
Since they live in a different environment with the Jews
meaning the Israelis
they have a different culture
They are far from Islam
In terms of religious clothing they don't all wear religious wear
Islamic attire as they should
But here in the West Bank
we are more committed
those who do wear the Islamic attire
are more committed
As a business owner do see a difference between
Palestinians inside (Israel) and West Bank Palestinians?
Anas Nablus
Of course you can distinguish them when they come in the shop
accent, clothing
language they use
so we can distinguish them from a thousand people
This is from the outside
What about thinking, customs, traditions?
You can't stereotype
you can't generalize
For example, us here in Nablus and the people in the north
we're very similar when it comes to customs and traditions
Perhaps the Palestinians of the 1948 lands (Israel)
who live on the west side
and in the south
perhaps we are a little different than them
What do you think of Palestinians of 1948?
Saher Nablus
They are just like us
They are Palestinian
Same
If you saw someone on the street could you know he is from 1948 lands?
She said "of course"
From their clothing, the way they speak
How does he speak differently?
The accent
Each village has it's own accent
How does he dress differently?
(to the translator) why do you looked so shocked?
She is saying they dress differently
I look at you and can tell you are from 1948 (lands)
Don't say anything
Radna Taibe (village in Israel)
Of course we live among the Jews
and we have to adapt
We have to..
We have to adapt to their way of living
we have no where else to live
or to escape
I don't know what to tell you
If you do something
they would... we would be
sieged or they would close
the city on us
we would be punished
If we were to go out
to demonstrate, we would be punished severly
We would never leave our houses no matter what
that is why we are still there
We won't abandon our homes
that's what she means
We will keep on living among them
and that is the reality we are living in
We express
We will express
ourselves
We will express our opinions
we have to have the same rights as
the Jews, as them
If there is any discrimination, we will stand
demand our rights and go out to demonstrations
