The Palestinian People

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a
Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle
against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality
today there is no difference between Jordanians,
Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and
tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of
a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand
that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian
people' to oppose Zionism.

"For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state
with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa.
While as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa,
Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we
reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even
a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

(PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein, in a 1977
interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw.)

Oh yay a Palestine thread.

I don't care what pan Arabists have to say. The Palestinians are the Philistines.

I personally think that Israel should be given to Switzerland. No one messes with Switzerland, that's because they have everyone's money.

When will you mental midgets get a clue?

Surely if that's true they should all move to Tin Ear Alley and Memphis and take over the music industry?

If the Yanks wanted to give them a home land so badly, they should at least have been honest about it and given them Utah.
