Palestinian activists and historians are trying to introduce the Palestinian cause to people around the world and show the Palestinian historical roots on this land, which has been witnessing an existential conflict with Israel since 1948. They are also seeking to increase international sympathy for the Palestinians.
Pal Team Revival, a group of youth volunteers, launched in January 2015 an English and Arabic website called Pal Narrative. It is a virtual museum that talks about the old Palestinian civilizations and Palestinian heritage, to prove the validity of the Palestinian narrative about the Palestinians’ rights to the land of Palestine. Palestine is defined by the three monotheistic religions — in the Torah, the Bible and the Quran — as the Holy Land.
Head of Pal Team Revival, Asem Alnabeh, explained that the website was a voluntary initiative by his team of 25 members, who specialize in different scientific disciplines, including engineering, history and translation.
“This virtual museum aims to connect youth around the world to the Palestinian cause by talking about the history of the Palestinian people, and generating sympathy and support. We also seek to prove that we, Palestinians, have the existential right to this land, and refute the Israeli claims that the land belongs to the Jews alone,” Alnabeh told Al-Monitor.
