“Indigenous Palestinians” from Egypt (Arafat was Egyptian)? From Morocco? Even from Chechnya in eastern Europe?! And, how come nobody is named “Palestini”?

Calling someone “Palestinian” because they were born in a loosely defined geographic area is a misnomer. People born in the US bible belt are not bible belt’istinians. They were born in a loosely defined geographic area.Arafat was born in Cairo, but his father was Palestinian as was his extended family.

Arafat inventing a ridiculous national identity of “Palestinians” in the late 1960’s didn’t invent a “country” or any national identity.
They weren’t “officially” invented until the late 1960’s when Arafat decided he could exploit a slogan and make a fortune with that exploitation.They were called Palestinians as early as 1950. I was there. We had a Palestinian houseboy who was Catholic. Stop lying. You can't erase Palestinians. Israel was ruled by 11 different countries.

Arafat's mother was also Palestinian.
Yes. In the 1950s there were lots of Palestinians in Saudi Arabia... They worked in recreation, the post office, housing services, commissary... Many attended Catholic mass. Others were Muslim.
Did he call himself a Palestinian?
Yes, there were several thousand of them working in Arabia. They were called Palestinian Arabs.
This is a tired old lie. The Israelis are trying to erase the Palestinians.
How was Arafat’s father a Palestinian when no place had existed named Palestine? Palestine was Britain’s name for the British Mandate which started in 1923–-Arafat’s father lived before 1923. Arafat was born in 1929 in Egypt.
They called themselves Palestinian Arabs? Why not just Arabs?
Because they were from Palestine... Like Egyptian Arabs, Saudi Arabs, Kuwaiti Arabs etc.
You should read the Palestine Papers, Avalon project, Yale. There was no Israel until 1948. Every map shows Palestine.
They weren’t “officially” invented until the late 1960’s when Arafat decided he could exploit a slogan and make a fortune with that exploitation.
When was the last time someone called themself an Egyptian Arab, Saudi Arab or Kuwaiti Arab?
You're dead wrong. Stop lying.
