I find this photograph the most interesting simply because of the expressions on the children's faces and the many ways they can be interpreted.  Said's essay, "States" majorly describes how Palestinians had no identity because their parents had been uprooted from the only place they knew when they were young.  Yet, somehow it seems in the photograph that the children DO feel a sense of belonging with each other.  This could mean many things.  Firstly, they could have the false impression from their parents that they do have an identity, a homeland.  Their parents very well may have feigned stories of the past to guard the children from the feeling of nomadic isolation.  Secondly, the children could know very well that their native land is but a memory, and everyone considers them to be immigrants everywhere they go.  However, the jubiliant feeling of being so young and naive could be saving them from understanding the truth.  Perhaps they can make wherever they go feel like home because the world is so large in their small eyes.  Also, this could be over-analyzing on my part, but it alarms me how the girl farthest away has the face of a middle-aged woman.  Said could be trying to portray how knowledge only ages the children.  Either way, the children do seem genuinely satisfied, which could be the light at the end of the tunnel for the lost identity of the Palestinians.
