The Arabs on Palestine and Palestinians

[link|http://www.jesuswasaterrorist.com/a_brief_history_of_palestine_israel.htm|A brief history of Palestine]

"There is no such country as Palestine. 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented. . . . Our country was for centuries part of Syria. 'Palestine' is alien to us. It is the Zionists who introduced it."

-- Local Arab leader to British Peel Commission, 1937

"There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not"

-- Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian to
Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, 1946

"It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria."

-- Delegate of Saudi Arabia to the
United Nations Security Council, 1956,

For 19 years, 1948-1967, Jordan and Egypt ruled the West Bank and Gaza. Jordan and Egypt never offered to surrendar those lands to make up an independent state of Falastin. The "Palestinians" never sought it. Nobody in the world ever suggested it, much less demanded it.

Problem: line 2: Israeli Version

That's a flag for propaganda.

Here is map, at a very pro-Israel site which identifies [link|http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/History/ottomap.html|Palestine Under Turkish Rule: 1517-1917]. So, for 400 years there was a Palestine, but there never were or are any Palestinians?

Why are you so hung up on what people call or don't call themselves? Names come and go. There used to be a [link|http://peace.expoarchive.com/6465/international/intpav43.shtml|United Arab Republic], I went to their pavilion at the World's Fair in NYC in the 1960's. No such place now and the name is available for re-use. How long have people called the Israelis been around?

Look, [link|http://howardbloom.net/jericho.htm|Jericho is the oldest city] in the world. It is the first place were man decided to quit hunting and gathering and to both domesticate animals and cultivate grain. That goes back to 8000 BCE well before the Hebrew invasion of around 1300 BCE.

The nomadic Bedouins preceded the Hebrews as well. But let's not talk about their effect on the ecology. :)

So, back off and allow others to have a claim as well.
