This group was created in order to support Palestinians in their struggle against Israeli occupation and for Justice & Human Rights.

Palestine is an ancient country as much as the history of mankind can tell. It has a lot of historical places and famous cities Such as: Nazareth, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jericho, Jerusalem, Nablus, Haifa, Jaffa, Aker, Ramla, and Tiberius.

Palestine location between Arab countries has determined its Arab identity from ancient times. As a matter of fact it is the heart of the Arab world since Egypt, Iraq and Syria are the cornerstone of the Arab world.
In 1850 number of inhabitants in Palestine was approximately 400,000 Muslims, 75,000 Christians, and 25,000 Jews. For centuries these groups had lived in harmony: 80 % Muslim, 15 % Christian, 5 % Jewish.
In the late 1800s a group of Jewish in Europe Known as "Zionists" decided to colonize this land. Hear began the conflict.
At first this immigration created no problems. However, as more and more Zionists immigrated to Palestine the original population became increasingly alarmed. Eventually, there was fighting between the two groups.
In 1947 the UN decided to intervene and decided to give away 55% of historical Palestine to a Jewish state "Israel", despite the fact that this group represented only about 30 % of the total population, and owned fewer than 7 % of the land. (The beginning of Middle East conflict).

The Palestinian part of the land was divided into:
The West Bank region: Beit Jala, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jenin, Jericho, Jerusalem, Nablus, Qalqilyah, RamAllah, Tulkarm.
And the Gaza Strip region: Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, Deir el-Balah, Gaza City, Jabalia, Khan Yunis, Rafah.

Now all of Palestine is actually occupied by Israeli forces and Palestinians are spread around the world especially in surrounded countries: Jordan (mainly in Amman, Irbid, Zarqa and Salt), Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and others.
