So much anti-semitic threads based on the false premise of a, "Palestinian".
Historically when one referred to a Palestinian they spook of Jews, not Arabs. If the bigots on this site knew history they would know that Arabs are very proud of their heritage. Read any book prior to the 1970's, interview any, "Palestinian" prior to the 1970's and not one will call himself a Palestinian.
I challenge anyone to find a source that is prior to the 1960's where an Arab calls himself, Palestinian.

The "Palestinians." That is the fundamental myth. The reality is that the concept of “Palestinians” is one that did not exist until about 1948, when the Arab inhabitants of what until then was Palestine, wished to differentiate themselves from the Jews. Until then, the Jews were the Palestinians. There was the Palestinian Brigade of Jewish volunteers in the British World War II Army (at a time when the Palestinian Arabs were in Berlin hatching plans with Adolf Hitler for world conquest and how to kill all the Jews); there was the Palestinian Symphony Orchestra (all Jews, of course); there was The Palestine Post, and so much more.
The Arabs, who now call themselves “Palestinians,” do so in order to persuade a misinformed world that they are a distinct nationality and that “Palestine” is their ancestral homeland. But, of course, they are no distinct nationality at all. They are entirely the same — in language, customs, and tribal ties — as the Arabs of Syria, Jordan, and beyond. There is no more difference between the “Palestinians” and the other Arabs of those countries than there is between, say, the citizens of Minnesota and of Wisconsin.
What's more, many of the “Palestinians,” or their immediate ancestors, came to the area attracted by the prosperity created by the Jews, in what previously had been pretty much of a wasteland.
The nationhood of the “Palestinians” is a myth
