[2] From 2004 to 2006 and 2011 to 2012, Stéphanie Loddo (of the EHESS) collected ethnographic data from Palestinians living in Manchester, Oxford, and London and among Palestinian-related organisations.

The respondents were both migrants (belonging to various categories – students, professionals, refugees – who arrived at certain intervals in different contexts) and British-born Palestinians.

[4] As a result of these migration patterns, the Palestinian community in the UK is diverse in terms of social class, civil and legal status, place of origin, and religious and cultural background.

[4][3][5] Loddo, Courbage and Nofal,[2] and Karmi[5] agreed that Palestinians typically find relative success in the UK.

Loddo considered the country a "favourable environment" for Palestinians as a "world leader" in higher education, arts, Arab media, and business.
