If You Think You Know Palestine, You Need To Watch This

A landscape cracked by underground tunnels, a devastated war zone, or a mere desert where only olive trees grow: which is your favorite Palestine stereotype?

A land tortured by the recent military operations in the Gaza strip, Palestine is more than the dust-filled pictures that overpopulate the media nowadays. Few know the pristine white cascading houses on its Mediterranean coast, the green fields along river Jordan, or the white geometrical scars drawn by the Dead Sea. Few know that despite its reduced 6,020 square kilometers of land, Palestine’s richness has no bounds.

Created in 2012 by Raya Media featuring Jordanian-Palestinian singer Hani Mitwasi, this video may be the perfect antidote to smash stereotypical perceptions of a misrepresented land. So sit back, turn up the volume and enjoy the virtual ride.
