Abstract

Faris Odeh (1985–2000), a thirteen-year-old Palestinian boy, emerged as a radiant figure of resistance during the Second Intifada (2000–2005). His unwavering resolve, audacious courage, and ultimate sacrifice embody the indomitable spirit of the Palestinian struggle for freedom. This study examines his life through psychological, social, and strategic lenses, illuminating the resilience of children confronting oppression and their pivotal role in collective resistance. Faris’s story transcends individual bravery, symbolizing a broader fight for dignity and self-determination, as evidenced by his lasting impact on Palestinian culture and global perceptions of the conflict.
