Palestinian Americans (Arabic: الأميركيون الفلسطينيون) are Americans of Palestinian ancestry. It is difficult to say when the first Palestinian immigrants arrived in the United States; however, many of the first immigrants to arrive were Christians escaping persecution from the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th century. Others came as displaced refugees, fleeing the massacres and conflict of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the 1967 Six-Day War, and as a result of subsequent conflict.
The first Palestinians who emigrated to the United States arrived after 1908. Palestinian emigration began to decline after 1924, with the law limiting the number of immigrants, as well as the Great Depression. The population began to increase after World War II: the Arab-Israeli War, the Nakba, and the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948 caused many Palestinians to immigrate, most as refugees. However, the greatest wave of Palestinian immigration began in 1967 after the Six-Day War, or as Arabs call it the June War. This wave of immigrants reached its peak in the 1980s. Most Palestinians that immigrated to the United States in this period were more educated than the Palestinians that arrived until 1967, thanks to the schools sponsored by the ONU and the increased number of universities in the Middle East.

Original title: American-Palestinian Activist Osama Abu Irshaid: MEMRI Is Used to Infiltrate American Consciousness Osama Abu Irshaid, the national director of the Chicago-based American Muslims for Palestine organization, said that the Zionist movement has managed to culturally infiltrate American consciousness by claiming that Israel and the United States share the circumstances of their establishment. Speaking at a symposium titled “Confronting the Zionist Myths,” which was held in Istanbul as part of the second International Palestine Forum for Media and Communications, Abu Irshaid said that this claim has some truth to it, because both countries were involved in “ethnic cleansing.” Abu Irshaid complained that while MEMRI exposes “flops” in the Arab media to American public opinion, t...

The American flag is nowhere to be found inside the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. There were red stripes, white stars on blue backgrounds and such but no American flags. I have said before that these so-called progressives and the ones running our cities are not Americans and I stand by that statement. Meanwhile at least one Palestinian flag could be seen among the crowd. Old Glory never had it so bad.

Israel’s decision to seize hundreds of hectares of land near the eastern city of Ariha (Jericho) in the occupied West Bank is “a further step that risks undermining a future Palestinian state.” The illegal land grab again “calls into question Israel’s commitment to a two-state solution.” So says a statement by the 28-member-state European Union, adding, “Any decision that could enable further settlement expansion, which is illegal under international law and an obstacle to peace, will only drive the parties to the conflict even further apart.” The EU has publicly opposed Israel’s policy of demolitions, confiscations, evictions, forced transfers, and restrictions on movement and access. Britain stated Israel’s expansion plans are “an obstacle to peace,” while the Israeli organization Peac...
