Palestinian integration in Chile and its impact on national identity for Palestinians

Abstract

This study aims to identify the reality of the children of the Palestinian community in Chile, one of the Latin American countries, and the extent of their national affiliation and adherence to the Palestinian constants, in light of a state of their integration since the early years in which they set foot in Latin America before the catastrophe of 1948 until today, in the cultural and economic fields political and others.
Through this study, it was found that the return of the Latin Palestinians to their “mother” can be seen again as a new turning point that must be built upon in an attempt to bridge the gap and build what was demolished between the Latin Palestinians and their motherland, so that the Palestinians do not turn there, as described by a Palestinian Latin poet One day with “sons who lost their mother”.
Accordingly, it is necessary to study the reality of Latino Palestinians in depth, and the permanent developments of the situation of the Palestinian community in Chile, and work to activate everything that would strengthen the Palestinian national identity, support Palestinian belonging despite integration in the countries of the diaspora, and open horizons and relations with the Palestinians there by various means to intensify and deepen The volume of studies required to achieve the same purpose.
