2. Palestinian clothing?
Observer   (10.26.08)
Why B. Miriam Lifshitz, Leah's sister is putting on a Palestinian traditional clothing?
3. Obsrever #2 it’s called free will.
Boaz ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (10.26.08)
Ever heard of it? Her choice in closing, or that of other Israelis is not subject to your judgment. Oh, and it’s not Palestinian, it’s biblical, this how Jews those view the dress code of the biblical era.
4. Palestinian traditional clothing?

Hiw could a people unnamed at the time have any traditions whatsoever?
5. To 2 & 4
Meir Moses   (10.27.08)
Why is it that people in this day and age are so wilfully ignorant? Do you know that in the 70's and early 80s we wore Keffiyeh in the Bne Akiva and Australian Hineni movement? The Palestinian Arabs lived beside the Palestinian Jews...they have a culture, they are humans. Perhaps these Jews admired these clothes and this culture? To #4: "Hiw could a people unnamed at the time have any traditions whatsoever?" Who says there were 'unnamed'? And even so, assuming they were unnamed, do you not believe the local Palestinians would be without a local culture or customs? Is this what we as Jews have come to?
6. #2 - No, Arab women need to cover hair, neck, faces and arms
Tal   (10.27.08)
That photo shows two women photographed in a Biblical-style costume. If an Arab woman dressed like that 100 years ago (or even today) in a traditional village, her throat would be cut by her her family because she dishonored them.
7. #5. Never called ourselves "Palestinians"
Jake   (10.27.08)
You reveal yourself as an impostor, a fraud. The pre-Zionist Jewish community of Jews living in Eretz Israel did not call themselves "Palestinians", absolutely not. The name for Jews residing in the Holy Land has always been, Hayishuv Hayehudi b'Eretz Yisrael. Prior to the British Mandate, the term "Palestine" was an alien term in the region.
8. #2, I guess Palestinians never wear LEVIS jeans, then
Jake   (10.27.08)
They only wear Biblical, sorry I mean Palestinian, clothing. Right?
9. # 5
(10.27.08)
Who says they were unnamed? Have you found a book that mentions a Palestinian people that predates the Six Day War? I haven't. I have seen plenty of quotes from Arabs denying there is a Palestinian people and even some from the pre-1967 war denying that there was ever a Palestine. That "Palestine is a Western construt planted on the Middle East. As for their culture, can you tell me with certainty that the clothing worn in this picture isn't similar to what women during that time wore in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, or Egypt?

sara ,   jerusalem   (10.28.08)
without a name i know that you are present and so the palastinians and so their traditional clothes which is different from jordanian and syrian and egyption and even it differs from one city to another and from village to another but all have brodwy and many coulers ..befor 30 years an old egyption woman told me that she visited jerusalem for haj and she liked the dress of a shepered woman and it was before 48 .then i gave her a palastinian dress for a gift
12. #11 Those clothes are described as
(10.28.08)
traditional Arab clothing. I can't find any info that describes Palestinian clothes as being markedly different from any other people of the region at that time or during any other. You claiming it to be true isn't sufficient.
