This reflective piece offers an alternative perspective to understanding the components which support the Palestinian capacity to endure and resist 100 years of violation and injustice, in context. It traces the development of the author's understanding over time as part of the Palestinian community living under Israeli military rule in chronic warlike conditions. It combines this lived experience with research results which raise question about what resilience means, the difficulties encountered in its measurement, and the utility of the concept in explaining the Palestinian reality. It emphasizes the need to include the contextual experiences of those who live in wars and conflicts in future research and for knowledge production. It ends by stressing that it is not sufficient to offer humanitarian aid to the victims of wars and conflicts without also advocating for justice not only for Palestinians but also in other contexts of injustice worldwide.
这篇反思性文章提供了一种不同的视角，来理解支持巴勒斯坦人在遭受 100 年的侵犯和不公正待遇的情况下能够承受和抵抗的因素。它追溯了作者随着时间的推移作为在以色列军事统治下生活在慢性战争条件下的巴勒斯坦社区的一部分的理解的发展。它将这种生活经历与研究结果相结合，这些结果提出了关于韧性意味着什么、衡量韧性所遇到的困难以及该概念在解释巴勒斯坦现实方面的效用等问题。它强调需要将生活在战争和冲突中的人的背景经历纳入未来的研究和知识生产中。最后，它强调，仅仅向战争和冲突的受害者提供人道主义援助是不够的，还需要不仅为巴勒斯坦人，而且为全世界其他不公正的情况下伸张正义。
