What the consequences of the spatial regime that affected in Palestinian society?
Over sixty years, Palestine is an accepted country by Israel. Palestine faced a several times of ramblings and loose in this occupation. Palestinian forced to leave from their land, home, and property. Sixty years from suffering .Palestinians still try to do not remembering their loose to building a new future for their children. Over more than a generation passed on this sorry state of Palestine. Every generation dreams of the liberation of Palestine. Moreover, build a better future for the generation that after them. Now before and after this is our dream. We are still dreaming in live in free Palestine without settlements around us, and cheek points in our path. Without scaring if, we heard Voice of the bullets that come out of guns.
After 1948, Palestinians are Diaspora from their land. They went to different cities in West Bank or extremely out of Palestine. By the way, sixty-years passed. People bored their situation. In addition, try to accept the reality and search about works, house, and search about better future to their family. Now people at present are looking for a new time, looking for what people in the world taking, and comparing them with their case. They want to develop their country. I think all people becomes more civilization than before and more educated. Regime become once with Palestinians peoples all of them in the same dreams peace and freedom.
We noticed that especially in this time, people in Palestine need to forget their suffering and live in different reality because they really bored from this situation. History of Palestine it makes us broodiness and wants to forget the past and live in present. If you go to Ramallah where I live in, you will noticed how the people who live their care about their business and you defiantly notice how they try to live different kind of living than other cities in West Bank and forgotten the occupation. Maybe that because Ramallah in the middle and there is kind of peace. In Ramallah, there are no clashes as compared with Jenin and Hebron. The system is different because the most people who live in Ramallah from another city in Palestine .They come to Ramallah search about new jobs and after that, they involve with this system.
Through my experience when I went to Bettir. I saw their typical life. They live near a settlement and they know that, Israel will build a new one in the future. People whom living in Bettir, living in simple way in houses, which build, of stones in old way. When I passed in their paths, I noticed the traditional way in living. Paths are small with old houses around it. Bettir it is so small village that everybody knew each other well as they were in the same family Most of them work in their land beside jobs. The village of Betir’s archaeological site contains the foundations of buildings, pools, floors, paved with mosaics and many of debris.
Battir is an agricultural town. You can tell by seeing the olive trees and the different types of fruits and vegetables, and there are different kinds and forms of water-fed springs. Perhaps the eggplant of Bettir is the most famous thing in this village. Moreover, is provided for visitors who come from cities and neighboring villages to spend a weekend pretty quiet between farms.
This traditional way in living make, those more comfortable and I think they will do not change their style of living. That’s became a spatial regime for them specially after Rhodes stipulated agreement which signed by Jordan, like other neighboring countries to Palestine in 1949 with the Zionist occupation to allow the people of Bettir exploit agricultural land occupied without any permission. It is for this the people of Bettir always working on cultivation and care of it. Therefore, they suppose to work in their land to keep up from settlements. I think people in Battir accepted the reality and now they try to keep what they win and never lose again their land.

I walk in Turmusayya. I saw the difference between Turmusayya and battir. Turmusayya is a village around Ramallah. It is also the last village in Ramallah County from the northern side of the region. The closest house from the Jerusalem-Nablus highway is only 100 meters. I think Turmosaya its have different style if we comparing it with others village in Palestine. Maybe that is because 80%form Turmosaya people have American citizen and 66% of the total population are living in the U.S. so the American culture affected on them especially in the village buildings style. I noticed that almost the houses are villa style. Even almost of them out of their home.
I think Turmusayya live style it is more complicated than Battir. Because they search about develop their village. In addition Turomusayya people, who living in America support their village. In addition, they help Turmusayya to being more development because they back to it in summer to marriage. Moreover, back to their works in America, that what I called it regime. All people and village attended in Especial regime. They do it usually maybe it is time to makes people live in their way. and not constraint in specific shape from suffering and occupation. It is time to makes people decide their required and allow to them to work it. Turmusayya is considered one of the best places for summer vacation especially when Turmusaya people established Equestrian Club at the top of a mountain of the village. They are trying to build more buildings. When I walk there, I noticed different things there.
The situations in Palestine force us to live in spatial regime. Moreover, maybe all political views planned to make us feel in this specific regime. I talk about Bettir and Turmusayya to support my idea what Palestinian society has a different kind of disparities even between small villages and that kind of regime the Israel’s occupation forward us to this kind of regime. Especially in West Bank and Gaza. I think there’s no civil life
