What is a Palestinian?

[EvilCat Breath]

Wrong.
Not only are there 13 million Palestinian natives, but they go back over 10,000 years, as the Canaanites, Akkadians, Chaldeans, Nabateans, Amorites, Urites, Philistine, Phoenicians, etc.
Is Israel that is fake, with 6 million Turkic invaders mostly from Poland and Russia, who never paid for hardly any land.

The Palestinians can still be wiped out. Change the culture or die. Simple.

You ain't worth shit in a hand basket. Let's roll with this. Native Americans should suddenly proclaim that God promised them their promised land and it is North America. Get the **** out if you are not Native American. Is that not precisely what we are saying in regards to Palestine and the Palestinians. OK, there is no Palestine. But you know what, there is no Jewland either. I mean the Jews, in the Middle East, they are not ******* Jews. They sure as hell didn't descend from the original 12 tribes. I mean damn, Eastern Cherokee Indians have more genetic markers for Judaism than anyone living in Israel.

God did promise them the promised land. But that came with requirements. Have they met those requirements? Hell No, not even close. If they had, we wouldn't be dealing with these problems.

And please do tell how Muslims have met their Requirements with Shia and Sunnis killing each other as well as what happened with the Crusades. There have always been Jews living in the M.E. at least 40 % of those living in Israel are not the Ashkenazi.

While it may have no political significance these days, if reality is important it is worth saying that there is no such thing as a "Palestinian" ethnicity, or a historical Palestine. It was nothing more than a geographical region, reportedly named after the Biblical Philistines as an insult to the indigenous Jews. Indeed, it is not possible to identify any historical Palestinian leaders, artists, or other significant figures. Prior to 1950, one finds nothing.

Interestingly, the most prominent "Palestinian" historical figure is Yasser Arafat, who was an Egyptian who later for his own convenience called himself a "Palestinian." For those who place any credence in Wikipedia, note how it adopts the false party line on Palestine in its bio of that awful person...

"Arafat was born to Palestinian parents in Cairo, Egypt, where he spent most of his youth." How could his parents have been Palestinian when Palestine didn't exist? What country do you suppose they got their passports from?

Imagine J.D.Vance declaring that he is an Appalachian and demanding that the Nation of Appalachia be recognized by the U.N. That's pretty much what Palestine is.

But these matters are insignificant compared to what's going on today. Hopefully, the "Two-State Solution" is dead and gone.

The term Palestine has been used for 3000 years. It’s not an insult either. The Romans used it to describe a geographic location just as you said. Like the word America is used to describe a geographic location of a land. That previously was not America. That’s pretty much every modern day country in the world operates.

I am a Catholic of Italian and Irish background. My ancestors and surely yours were at some point Romans..some of the greatest people who have ever lived with their achievements in building civilizations. By the way the Romans were inclusive of Jews, Arabs and Africans who reached the highest positions of power.

When the Roman Empire expanded it often brought on people of different ethnicities. Something to be proud of. Sure it wasn’t perfect no empire was.

In a broader international context, the “Nationality law… showed that the Palestinians formed a nation, and that Palestine was a State, though provisionally under guardianship.”90 The inclusion of Palestinian nationality in the text of the Palestine Mandate was the first step towards an international recognition of the Palestinian people as distinct from the Ottoman people and other peoples. Palestinian nationality, like any other nationality, constitutes the formula by which a certain group of individuals are being legally connected and enabled to form the people element of the state.91

The status of Palestine and the nationality of its inhabitants were finally settled by the Treaty of Lausanne from the perspective of public international law. In a report submitted to the League of Nations, the British government pointed out: “The ratification of the Treaty of Lausanne in Aug., 1924, finally regularised the international status of Palestine.”123 And, thereafter, “Palestine could, at last, obtain a separate nationality.”124

The automatic, ipso facto, change from Ottoman to Palestinian nationality was dealt with in Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Citizenship Order, which declared:

“Turkish subjects habitually resident in the territory of Palestine upon the 1st day of August, 1925, shall become Palestinian citizens.”

And as we can see, the Arabs got 77% of the land but still they wanted more.
