In a 1946 appearance before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, also acting as an investigative body, the Arab-American historian Philip Hitti stated:

“There is no such thing as Palestine in [Arab] history, absolutely not.” According to investigative journalist Joan Peters, who spent seven years researching the origins of the Arab-Jewish conflict over Palestine.

Hitti was educated at an American Presbyterian mission school at Suq al-Gharb and at the American University of Beirut. After graduating in 1908 he taught at the American University of Beirut before moving to Columbia University where he taught Semitic languages and got his PhD in 1915. After World War I he returned to American University of Beirut and taught there until 1926. In February 1926 he was offered a Chair at Princeton University which he held until he retired in 1954. He was both Professor of Semitic Literature and Chairman of the Department of Oriental Languages. After formal retirement he accepted a position at Harvard. He also taught in the summer schools at the University of Utah and George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He subsequently held a research position at the University of Minnesota. Philip Hitti almost single handedly created the discipline of Arabic Studies in the United States.
In 1944 before a U. S. House committee, Hitti gave testimony in support of the view that there was no historical justification for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. His testimony was reprinted in the Princeton Herald. In response, Albert Einstein and his friend and colleague Erich Kahler jointly replied in the same newspaper with their counter-arguments. Hitti then published a response and Einstein and Kahler concluded the debate in the Princeton Herald with their second response.[1] In 1945 Hitti served as an adviser to the Iraqi delegation at the San Francisco Conference which established the United Nations. In 1946, Hitti was the first Arab-American witness at the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine. Bartley Crum, an American member of the committee, recalled that
Hitti.. explained that there was actually no such entity as Palestine- never had been; it was historically part of Syria, and "the Sunday schools have done a great deal of harm to us because by smearing the walls of classrooms with maps of Palestine, they associate it with the Jews in the minds of the average American and Englishman"

But thats not exactly what is printed at the link you gave

Arab Historian: "No such thing as Palestine in Arab History"

Not having read much history written from an Arab-centric point of view, he might very well be right.

It was the WEST, not the Arabs, who started calling the region Palestine.

 

[irosie91]

the whole project of some arab muslims deciding to call
themselves "palestinians" in the 1960s is going to,,
some day be transformed into comic broadway musicals---
it is that silly. some mel brooks somewhere
is probably already working on it

 

[Roudy]

Still comes out the same. He thought "Palestine" was a Jewish conspiracy. Which means no such thing as Palestine in Arab History.

Arabs in the region never taught of themselves as Palestinians. In fact back then, they considered it an insult to be called by that name, because for thousands of years it meant JEW. So they considered the name Palestinian or Palestine just another Jewish / Western conspiracy.

Now, suddenly, the Arabs and Muslims are the biggest defenders of Palestine and its history. "Palestinian Arab" is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind.

And you're forgetting the part where the Jews accepted the partition plan to live alongside the Arabs, but the stupid warmonger Arabs refused, because they don't want 98% of the Middle East to be Arab Muslim, they want 100% of it to be Arab Muslim

 

[Jos]

the partition plan of which country?

 

[toastman]

the partition plan of which country?

Not a country, but a territory. The plan was for both to have a country. Only one of them ended up declaring statehood. Guess which one???
