You seem to make my point for me here, and it's nice that we seem to agree.
Samaria still exists geographically - as does Prussia, as does Sudetenland.
But those terms no longer exists, and we now use Palestine, or OT, Germany and Poland, as appropriate.
Palestine is no more of a fraud than Germany is.
Palestine is older as a national identity than some 20 other countries, and probably more.
How old is Canada? South Sudan? New Zealand? Tanzania?
Time moves on - as do sensible people.
I trust this will be the last time we see this laughable old "Where was Palestine in 1900?" nonsense trotted out.
Still doesn't change the fact that today Germany is a country and Palestine isn't.
It does not change the fact that in 1900 EVERY PALESTINIAN IN THE WORLD WAS A JEW Nor does it change the fact that the EXTREME CHANGE in the definition of the word PALESTINIAN ----was fostered by persons intent on perpetuating a FRAUD which---reaches the level of ORWELLIAN fantasy. The persons who fostered the fraud -----as idiotic as it is------are actually insisting that the PALESTINIANS of 1900 were "arabs" In fact they even use the definition of the word "palestinian" to insist "Jesus of nazareth as not a jew----he was a palestinian just like ---- MALIK NIDAL HASAN " The redefinition of words to create so silly a fraud------actually does CREATE LIES and FALSE BELIEFS lies are counter productive to the welfare of people of the planet
I wasn't around in 1900, but:
-) the vast majority of the inhabitants of what one would define as Palestine were not Jews at that point
-) very few Jews then or today would call themselves Palestinians.
