Whats a Palestinian? Last time I checked, they were all Jordanian and Egyptians.

PaLo ^ ChiCk

Because we worship our country, we love the grains of sand that makes palestine, the grape vines, the trees, the ocean, the smell of history in the atmosphere and feeling that we belong. We will fight to the end to defend our country and the right to live in peace in it, something people like you will never understand because its not within you.

Palestine is the holy land and you cannot expect people who dont have faith and dont live for god to understand this. people who live for their own selfishness and desires, for the worship of themselves cannot understand the perseverence of a religion that lives and dies for god and for the freedom of others.

EVERYTHING
They're Brave people to have to deal with people like the Israelis. And they fought for what they are! I Personally love Palestine's for there true self and the fact that more of them are dieing everyday makes me happy that we have them now, and we might not have them in the future.
What's so good about being an Israel?
I wouldn't like to be a terrorist

Proud of the fact that they haven't given up the hope of freedom.
Unlike ALL of u who have been born and bred with none of the atrocities that they are going through. It's admirable, they're living on the most basic thing : hope.

If you were living in Palestine I'm sure your answers would be much different. Same goes for Israelis. Its those damn leaders that need sorting out. Get over it already and let each other live in peace.

Oh and Trust me no 5 year old Palestinian kid has an agenda for anyone else but himself.

@ everyone else (from rich countries:))
Its a simple case of the Haves laughing at the Have -nots without doing anything. What's the point of having everything when you're gonna turn into a classic brat and sit there and watch.

Everyones proud of their heritage. If they're not, then they should be. In case of Palestinians, it must be because of their years of resistance and struggle against an illegitimate state.

what is wrong with being proud with ur nationality?? Arent u proud of being and italian, the place where the pisa tower stands?? Besides, Palestine is the land where al-Aqsa stands, the third holiest site in Islam.

Because they are proud to have withstood cowardly ersatz israeli's in their helicopter gunships, tanks and bulletproof jackets continuallly trying to murder them yet failing to win.

As the great song by that awesome, socially aware, entertainer Labi Siffre proclaims : Palestinian people particularly the astonishingly brave children fighting the evil Israeli empire with mere stones and huge hearts have "something inside so strong"

The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide to turn your face away
No matter, cos there's....

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly
It will blind you
Cos there's......

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm gonna do it anyway x 2

Something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm gonna do it anyway x 4

Because there's something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me, so wrong
Oh no, something inside so strong
Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Palestinians particularly the little children routing the cowardly Israeli's with mere stones make the decent world proud!

Just like the Cherokee and other American Indian people, they are being driven from their homes by powerful outsiders. Fighting to keep what is yours is a human trait.

That's very easy.
It is the only nation that stood up against the Nazis and won.
I am sure that many skin heads here will try and tell you different but since I am from Norway, my word is like gold.
bye bye

Here are some reasons, but thsy may not convince you.

Hamas "Member of Parliament" Fathi Hammad, brags about the Hamas use of human shields.

Fathi Hammad: "[The enemies of Allah] do not know that the Palestinian people has developed its [methods] of death and death-seeking. For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry, at which women excel, and so do all the people living on this land. The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujaheddin and the children. This is why they have formed human shields of the women, the children, the elderly, and the mujaheddin, in order to challenge the Zionist bombing machine. It is as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: 'We desire death like you desire life.'"

This may indeed be sick, but it is the Palestinian ideology.

Palestinians have survived the Israeli genocide from the hagganah's ethnic cleansing of Plan D" of 1947-48 to the recent massacre of Gaza.

They have survived the evil bullying and murders of Judaeo Nazism for over 60 years - of course they have a right to be proud.

Proud of what? Their Saudi and Egyptian blood?
The fact that no other Muslim country wants to help them?
Being a people trying to live like desert warriors instead of modern people that produce something useful to the world.
I am an American Native and I will take my American enslavement over your Muslim death wish any day. I have every right that the full blooded White man has. I have more than many in white society and I love America as much as any other Patriot that has lived.
What do Pals have to be proud of? Insanity? Murderous hearts? The espoused willingness to die or the cries of why are you killing me.
I want to die killing Jews and go to Paradise. Oh no here comes the Jews hurry fade into the population, run.
Children, Mickey says it's good to die be happy to die. Oh help they are killing my children.
Where's the pride in that?
The proud and smart Pal is living in the west. All that's left is the wrongly educated and ignorant radicals.
You don't give a car to a smart assed kid. You shouldn't give statehood to the assend of society.

Seen it all before

i don't know what there is to be proud of

i can think of no achievements or great people who claim to be palestinian

palestinians seem to be a group who live on aid supplied by the west and are unwanted within the muslim world

if these people had been in this region for so many years why is there little to see that identifies them as a people?

...apart from propaganda against israel ....available on you tube

good question

John E

There is something far worse myfriend, being a proud ...Israeli, lol!!
Greetings

I â™¥ my Lancer

Well, what makes anyone proud to be an Israeli?
Or proud of being an American, or Iraq? This question can go on and on... question is - Why does it matter to you?

2+2=5

Im not sure but I think they invented the suicide bombings for the first time,
is not that something to be proud of?
