المعرفة الاستعمارية و تاريخ فلسطين

Abstract EN

The history of Palestine has suffered from the brunt of «colonial knowledge” as a reflection of the biblical narrative, in which «Israel» appears to have an ancient past while Palestine does not.

To the point that one archaeologist stated that «the children of Israel» were «the only people who made this country their natural home.» This study deals with some aspects of «colonial knowledge», starting with Orientalism, transiting through historical and archaeological research in Palestine, and the establishment of Western associations and institutions whose main goal is to produce «colonial knowledge», and the method adopted by Western research circles in producing an imagined history of «the Children of Israel».

It quickly became an «Israeli» national narrative; It depicts Palestine as «a land without a people for a people without a land.»
