These artists document a modern diaspora. The Palestinians are predominantly Muslim, some Christian and occasionally Jewish Arabs who are originally from what is now the state of Israel and its occupied territories.

Unfortunately, this is just the beginning in a whole line of factual errors, that either constitutes journalistic negligence, or extreme tendentiousness. In particular, look out for the interesting take on the War of Independence, which apparently “erupted” after years of Zionist expansion efforts (no mention of Arab massacres of Jews), and culminated in the Arab states’ defeat at the hands of the powerful Israeli army (no mention of Israel being outnumbered 40:1 by the Arab states in terms of population, and 8:1 in terms of standing armies).
