WFP formed in April 2002 in Melbourne, Australia following the Battle of Jenin as a movement advocating for Palestinians unable to speak about their plight. WFP's prime objective is to raise awareness of the Palestinian identity in history and the events that led to the Palestinians being dispossessed, then occupied by the UN-created state of Israel.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“If you look at history you’ll find that no state has been so plagued by its rulers as when power has fallen into the hands of some dabbler in philosophy or literary addict.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“It’s nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I’m bloody close.”
—John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)
