Abstract

Retrospective of the history of Palestine. The history of this land and of Jewish and Palestinian peoples is traced from the biblical origins up to today's problems, using maps of changing borders of this territory, engravings, paintings, sculptures, photographs and many archival images. Interviews with historians André Chouraqui and Georges Corm, Elias Sanbar, editor of the Journal of Palestine Studies, of Bassma Kodmani, a researcher at the IFRI and Camille Mansour, advisor of the Palestinian delegation to peace negotiations, punctuate the story.
