This article details the effects of Israeli occupation on Christian Palestinians in the Middle East and why they have emigrated. Hassassian also makes it clear that Muslim Palestinians are not interested in the ethnic cleansing of Christians. The topic of the article centers around the Palestinian National Movement, and Hassassian’s research question could be asking how Christians in Palestine have been integral to the Palestinian National Movement. Hassassian uses expert knowledge and reports of acts, behaviors, and events as his data types. In order to collect the data, he used ethnography and public and private records. His method of data analysis is qualitative. I believe this research is credible because it was written in a peer-reviewed journal by someone with a high scholastic standing. I do believe that it is a biased article, but a substantial amount of literature researching the Israel/Palestine conflict is. This article could be interesting to my classmates because most people assume that Palestinian Muslims are the only group that is at the forefront of the Palestinian movement, but in fact, Palestinian Christians contribute significantly to the movement as well.
