"Palestinian".. just a label.?!




The other day, I was looking for information about Urs Al-Jaleel (Wedding in Galilee), an exceptional and remarkable film by Palestinian director Michel Khleifi.


And since "wikipedia.org" is by far the most accessible collective encyclopedia online, I rushed to check the article they submitted about Michel Khleifi.


But I was really angered by the content of the introduction, where the author permitted himself to state the following:


"Michel Khleifi (1950 - ) is an Israeli Arab who terms himself a Palestinian, born in Nazareth is a film writer, director and producer.." *


So, did the Palestinian nationality become a label..?!
