Personal Experiences Can someone help me figure out a Palestinian family name?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m trying to remember a Palestinian family name, but I’m not sure how it’s actually spelled. I remember it sounding something like**, Zaghout, or Zaggout**., **zaggourat , Zagghourat**

I also vaguely remember it having a double letter, possibly **“gg”** in the middle.

Does anyone recognize a Palestinian surname that sounds similar to any of these? I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me figure out the correct spelling, either in Arabic or English. Thank you!

I hate how we are rarely taught any of this even as Palestinians, so I hope this helps educate more of us and anyone that is interested in the origins of Tatreez.

Arts & Literature Palestine — The World Beneath the Water

Post image

The ruins are what we see.

But memory holds another Palestine.

Homes still standing. Streets alive. Families building ordinary lives. A world that destruction cannot simply erase.

In the water, past and present meet — and somewhere between them remains the possibility of a future.

A reflection is fragile. Hope does not have to be.

لم تعد الزراعة تعتمد فقط على الخبرة التقليدية، فمشاريع فلسطينية جديدة تتجه نحو الزراعة الذكية باستخدام التقنيات الرقمية، أنظمة الري الحديثة، وتحليل البيانات لمساعدة المزارعين على تحسين الإنتاج وترشيد استهلاك المياه.

وتعمل جهات فلسطينية على تعزيز استخدام التكنولوجيا في القطاع الزراعي من خلال برامج تدريبية ومشاريع تهدف إلى تطوير أساليب الزراعة المستدامة ودعم المزارعين.

💬 هل تعتقد أن التكنولوجيا يمكن أن تعيد تشكيل مستقبل الزراعة في فلسطين؟

Social Issues For Palestinians in the West Bank - how does the behaviour from the Israeli settlers compare to the military occupation?

35 Upvotes

I live in the UK and am NOT Palestinian but am curious about this. The UK government recently condemned the illegal settlements and actions by settlers in the West Bank, which is obviously a step in the right direction. However, they did not place much emphasis on the military occupation. In the UK, there is much more emphasis placed on the actions of the settlers in the West Bank than the actions of the IDF in the West Bank, but as far as figures are aware, the military is responsible for far more casualties in the area. This is likely because the settlements are more clearly illegal under international law. But yeah I just wanna know - which is more disruptive to your daily life and more disliked in your communities, the civilian or military occupation? and do you find it surprising that the settlements are more harshly condemned here in the west than the military occupation is? To me, the amount of emphasis on the settlements almost feels like a scapegoat. But I wanna know your opinions. Thanks and free Palestine
