No-one mentioned the word Israelis until 1948.You've got to open a book someday.You are correct. Similarly, no-one ever heard of Israelis before 1948.They became Palestinians in 1924. They were the same people before that but had a different name.Palestinians 'became a people' as a result of the occupation- not in spite of it.
What were Native Americans called before it was America? Weren't they the same people who were there before the name change?
Jacob is Israel, the Jews are sons of Israel and have identified so for millenias. The whole world has heard of Israelis, a big portion of Your western culture is based on it.
The knowledge of Israel-Jacob was the reason the LoN recognized the homeland of the Jews in that land. This isn't new and You cannot deny Your own culture which has a big portion of it borrowed from the Israelis.
Then again is there a Palestinian distinct culture other than the culture of the Jews?
