When did the Arabs start calling themselves Palestinians?
The arabs who lived in Palestine "understood" they were "palestinians" only after the war of 1967. Before that, Judea and Samaria, together with Jerusalem, were occupied by Jordan, and Gaza was occupied by Egypt- but not a single arab thought of himself as of a "palestinian". Moreover, to call an arab a "Palestinian" would mean to insult him because until the late 60s the word "Palestinian " was commonly and unanimously associated in all the world with Jews, and all the world knew: Palestine is just another name for Israel, like for example Kemet was just another ancient name for Egypt. Arabs who lived in Palestine identified themselves as Arabs and were insulted when someone called them "palestinians": we are not Jews, we are Arabs, they used to say in answer.
And they had very good reasons to say this.
Do you know that until 1950, the name of the Jerusalem Post was THE PALESTINE POST?
That the journal of the Zionist Organization of America was NEW PALESTINE?
That the Bank Leumi was the ANGLO-PALESTINE BANK?
That the Israel Electric Company´s original name was the PALESTINE ELECTRIC COMPANY?
That there was the PALESTINE FOUNDATION FUND and the PALESTINE PHILHARMONIC?
And all these were JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS, organized and run by JEWS.
In America, the Anthem of the Zionist youngsters sang "PALESTINE, MY PALESTINE", "PALESTINE SCOUT SONG" and "PALESTINE SPRING SONG".
Arabs knew that the term "Palestinian" is the synonym of a "Jew", that is why they felt offended.
But after the war of 1967 the Arabs suddenly "recalled" they were "palestinians". The idea belonged to the PR experts of the Soviet KGB, the plan of the PR campaign and the ideological base were brilliantly prepared and elaborated in the Soviet Institute of the Oriental Studies whose director, Evgeniy Primakov, was the professional Intelligence officer who spoke very well in Arabic and had been working for many years in different Arabic countries under the "cover" of a journalist of the official Communist Party newspaper "Pravda". All the media of the Soviet satellite countries immediately started to weep over the "poor palestinians whose land was stolen by the cruel Jews". This idea about the "poor palestinians" was immediately supported by the leftist media in the West. After 3 years of the massive PR campaign, with the media crying about the "poor palestinians" and the Egyptian- born Yasser Arafat pronouncing the passionate speeches in the European universities, in the United Nations Assemblies and at the political meetings about how he ,
" a native palestinian", was robbed and humiliated by the "Khazar Jews", the appeared - from- nowhere "palestinian people" was firmly rooted in the brains of the people of the Western Europe. The fastness with which it all happened was also due to the fact that it was against the Jews; if the Soviets and Arabs had tried this trick with, let´s say, Spaniards and tried to tell to the world the stories about how "the cruel Spaniards robbed the native Andaluces of their land" , all the world would be laughing. But the Jews... Europeans have never been "in love" with them, and readily believed the story about the "poor palestinian people" who were driven from their land "by the Jews".
Israel did all it could to launch the counter PR campaign, but the balance of power was clearly not in Israel´s favour; one tiny Israel against all the media of the Soviet block supported by the crowds of the liberal leftists in the West; did Israel have any chances to win the propagandistic war?
And now we have Arabs who call themselves "palestinians" and weep over how "Jews stole their land" in Judea, and tell idiotic tales about how "Israelis robbed them of their land" in Israel.
Poor try....
I would suggest that people DO read the link you posted, but scroll down past this load of BS and read what several other people wrote...
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot....
And, a two more links worth reading...
Timeline of the name Palestine - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Palestinian people - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
From your own link....oooops!
The history of a distinct Palestinian national identity is a disputed issue amongst scholars.[32] Legal historian Assaf Likhovski states that the prevailing view is that Palestinian identity originated in the early decades of the 20th century.[32] "Palestinian" was used to refer to the nationalist concept of a Palestinian people by the Arabs of Palestine in a limited way until World War I.[20][21] The first demand for national independence of the Levant was issued by the Syrian–Palestinian Congress on 21 September 1921.[33] After the creation of the State of Israel, the exodus of 1948, and more so after the exodus of 1967.
I think the technical term rudeboy is...
"Selective Copy and Paste"
Yet another FAIL
Nope, your link has several references that Arab Palestinian national bowel movement is a 20 century phenomenon.
