RARE ACCESS INSIDE HOUSE Of PALESTINE Here’s What I Found (SAN DIEGO)

Tucked within the cultural mosaic of Balboa Park, the House of Palestine stands as one of the park’s most meaningful—and relatively recent—additions. Founded in 2002 by a group of dedicated Palestinian American volunteers, the organization began humbly, first appearing as a food tent sharing traditional dishes and culture with visitors. Over nearly two decades of persistence, community support, and cultural advocacy, that vision evolved into a permanent cottage, officially opened in 2021 as part of the International Cottages—an area designed to promote global understanding through cultural exchange. In this video I give you a rare inside look at this special cottage and the annual celebration around it!
