Text, Editor/Xu Chenyuan's study
Palestine, whose name is a place of mystery for many, is located in the Middle East and is known as one of the birthplaces of the "Three Great Religions", carrying a deep historical and cultural connotation.
However, Palestine is also a contentious region that has long been torn between wars, conflicts, and political tensions, and the escalating conflict between Palestine and Israel over the past few years has indirectly sharpened the complexity of the Middle East issue.
In the information age, we have more accessible sources of information about events and regions around the world, especially through the Internet, and it is also in this information age that we are often confronted with false information, misleading reports and manipulative images.
I had the privilege of being in Palestine and seeing what is really going on in this region, and this experience was a challenging and inspiring journey for me, as well as a profound educational process, Pakistan is not very different from what we know online, so what does the real Pakistan look like?
1. The geographical location of Pakistan
Situated in the Middle East, geographically involving countries such as Israel, Jordan and Egypt, the Palestinian region has a rich and complex historical, cultural, and political story that has made it the focus of international attention since ancient times.
The region was one of the important centers of ancient civilizations, and after centuries of Ottoman rule, the Palestinian region experienced a massive mix of cultures and religions, as well as political upheaval.
It has a rich historical heritage, such as the ancient city of Jerusalem, the biblical history of Palestine, and was once a holy place for Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
After the end of World War I, the Ottoman Empire collapsed, and the Palestinian region naturally became a British mandate, and according to the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the British obtained a mandate for Palestine, a period that laid the foundation for the later Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
In 1947, the United Nations decided to divide Palestine into Jews and Arabs, and Jews who had been forced to "disperse" moved back to Palestine, but this plan sparked discontent among the local Arabs.
In the outbreak of the Third Middle East War, Israel's occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula has led to more Palestinian refugees, as well as more conflicts and disputes.
Until now, no comprehensive peace settlement has been reached in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the disputes include border demarcation, refugee issues, the status of Jerusalem, etc., and different stakeholders and the international community are still seeking ways to resolve these issues.
Complex political, territorial and religious issues are involved, and the resolution of this conflict requires compromise by all parties, the support of the international community and complex diplomatic efforts, which have important implications for the Middle East region and international peace and stability.
As a result, the living conditions of the Palestinian people, each of which has different living conditions due to its geographical location and political situation, includes the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
In the Gaza Strip, housing shortages and infrastructure problems are common as a result of protracted conflict and closures, and many Palestinians live in difficult conditions in refugee camps or crowded urban areas.
In the West Bank, some cities have relatively good housing markets, but they are only available to the wealthy, many Palestinians face poverty, and many families still face unaffordable rents and high home costs.
It is undeniable that there are also some excellent educational institutions in the Palestinian areas, and in the Gaza Strip, the conflict has led to the destruction and closure of schools, and students face instability in the Xi environment.
In the West Bank, where the negative impact of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is slightly smaller, many families in the region attach great importance to education, and after their children receive basic education, parents who can afford to send them abroad for further education.
Due to the war, a large amount of medical resources were used on the front lines of the war, which led to a general shortage of medical facilities in the city, and hospitals and clinics could not provide complete medical conditions, including shortages of medical equipment and medicines.
Having just returned from Palestine, I spent some time in the area and developed a deep friendship with one of the local residents.
2. Islam in Pakistan
In a café in a small village in the Gaza Strip, I met a young man who was one of the local residents and whose enthusiasm and tenacity always impressed me despite the death pressure of the war in their village.
He sincerely invited me to visit his home, which was a modest house, and his family was very hospitable, prepared delicious food for me, but also shared their own stories, talking about the difficulties and challenges they had experienced, but also expressing their desire for peace and a better life.
As I spoke to them, I felt a tremendous sense of resilience, and despite the countless hardships and threats of death, they were filled with hope and confidence in the future.
What is it that keeps this family still in this predicament? They gave me the answer that there is an undying faith in the heart, and Islam is the religion of the vast majority of people in the Gaza Strip.
Muslims in the Gaza Strip follow different sects of Islam, mainly Sunni Muslims, who follow the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and participate in daily religious ceremonies such as worship, Ramadan, Eid al-Adha, etc.
Religion is expressed in Palestinian culture through music, dance, literature, painting, etc., various art forms, religious songs, traditional dances, religious stories and paintings, all reflect the depth and diversity of religious beliefs, these forms of cultural expression, not only inherit religious traditions, but also reflect the characteristics of Palestinian culture.
In addition, religion also plays an important role in the social and family life of Palestine, and various occasions such as family gatherings, weddings, and religious festivals are closely linked to religious ceremonies and traditions, which are not only religious celebrations, but also manifestations of faith.
3. Hype of disinformation on the Internet
In recent years, disinformation has been widely disseminated on the Internet, especially when it comes to conflicts and political issues, and the Palestinian areas are no exception, with individual media outlets exaggerating the hype and using false pictures and videos that claim they depict the truth in the Palestinian conflict, but are in fact material from other regions or historical events.
In order to combat this phenomenon, many news organizations and independent investigative agencies, which have analyzed these fake pictures and videos and revealed their origin and authenticity, international social media platforms, have also taken measures to prevent the spread of false information.
At the same time, there are various false reports claiming that events in the Palestinian conflict have taken place, but there is a lack of credible evidence and reporting sources, and the flow of information in conflict zones is restricted, and it is sometimes difficult to obtain credible reports.
There are also some malicious organizations that claim that one side has used chemical weapons in a conflict, when in fact there is no hard evidence, and that the allegation of chemical weapons is a serious accusation that needs to be supported by sufficient evidence.
International organizations, such as the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, also immediately sent experts to conduct an independent investigation, but found no traces of chemical weapons and no strong evidence of the use of chemical weapons.
The reason why there is so much disinformation is because the issue involves complex and sensitive issues of international politics, and all parties have their own political interests and positions, so certain political groups, countries or individuals may deliberately spread disinformation in order to shape public opinion, support their own views or discredit their opponents.
Some media outlets may be subject to political or economic pressures that lead them to bias in their coverage of the Palestinian issue, which may manifest itself in unobjective reporting, selective reporting, or the spread of misinformation.
The popularity of social media and the Internet has made it easier to disseminate information, but it has also increased the channels for the spread of disinformation, which can spread quickly on social media, while fact-checking is relatively difficult and therefore easy to spread online.
Despite the protracted conflict and hardship that the Palestinian people have endured, they have shown remarkable resilience and hope, and they have continued to pursue peace, freedom and independence, which is deeply moving.
During my stay in Palestine, I have seen the local population respond to emergent challenges through community organizing, cultural expression, and mutual support, and this solidarity and cooperation is essential to resolving the Palestinian issue.
The question of Palestine is an extremely complex issue, involving land, political power, security, culture and other aspects, and its solution requires extensive international cooperation and efforts
The crux of the Lestan problem.
The Palestinians and Israelis need to sit down and negotiate a sustainable peace agreement based on the principles of equality and justice, and the international community can continue to play a mediating role to bring the parties back to the negotiating table.
The provision of humanitarian assistance is key to ensuring that the basic needs of the Palestinian people are met, and the promotion of cultural exchange and dialogue can enhance understanding and reconciliation among the different communities in the Palestinian areas.
I am deeply struck by the resilience and hope of the Palestinian people, who, despite their long years of conflict, hardship and suffering, still cherish a strong desire for peace, freedom and independence.
Their spirit and tenacity are admirable, and I am convinced that a solution to the question of Palestine is possible if all parties are willing to work together.
Most importantly, the international community needs to pay more attention to and support the question of Palestine, a region where the people face enormous challenges, including living conditions, humanitarian assistance and the peace process.
Everyone should think critically when confronted with news and information about the Palestinian issue, as there is a lot of disinformation and bias on the Internet, which can easily mislead the public.
We should rely on credible news sources and independent investigations for truthful and objective reporting, rather than blindly trusting information on the internet.
It is only through cooperation and understanding that the countries of the world need to increase their attention and support for the question of Palestine in order to promote peace and stability, and it is only through cooperation and understanding that we can find a way to resolve this complex issue and realize the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and peaceful coexistence.
