Introduction BADIL Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights (BADIL) has produced the Survey of Palestinian Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) since 2002. This edition of the Survey, Volume X, focuses on Palestinian refugees and IDPs in the period between 2019-2021, unless stated otherwise. In the three years since the last survey, the Palestinian people have experienced an ever more repressive and limited space within which to collectively demand and exercise their national and individual rights. This has been characterized principally by the rapid advancement of Israeli repressive colonial-apartheid policies throughout Mandatory Palestine, and coupled with the renewed attacks on the rights and capabilities of Palestinian refugees and political and human rights activists, particularly via the increase of conditional funding requirements placed on UNRWA and Palestinian civil society organizations (CSOs), along with the criminalization of six Palestinian CSOs and the aggressive escalation of murder, harassment, arrest and torture of Palestinian youth. It is in this context that BADIL elected to focus this survey on one of the most essential tools used in the realization of Palestinian rights and in the struggle against Zionist-Israeli colonization: the political participation of Palestinian youth, particularly refugee youth. The Palestinian people have a rich history of political participation as a form of anti-colonial resistance, and Palestinian youth specifically have consistently influenced the fight for justice, dignity, and liberation. However, the available data that focuses on the political participation of Palestinians, particularly Palestinian youth, is scarce. This is primarily because current research on political participation often does not consider the specific context of the Palestinian people as a people who not only suffer from protracted, prolonged displacement but are also subject to perpetual Israeli colonization and are consistently denied their inalienable right to selfdetermination and reparations (including return). Thus, BADIL’s survey intends to fill this gap and provide data to facilitate an adequate understanding of political participation that aligns with the Palestinian context. As in the previous surveys, BADIL embarked on a thematic field study targeting the perceptions of the Palestinian population, as highlighted by the questionnaire in Chapter 5. The purpose of this study is to shed light on the avenues and activities that Palestinian youth engage in, the objectives and reasons for their participation, and what they perceive as obstacles that prevent them from engaging in political participation and achieving their goals. The report on this questionnaire reviews the levels, avenues, and effectiveness of Palestinian youth political participation from their own point of view. It explores how to achieve political participation in an effective and influential manner, especially against the backdrop of numerous research projects and studies having indicated that the political participation of Palestinian youth through official institutions and bodies is almost non-existent. The questionnaire first delves into desk research which reviewed relevant literature on the xv
