@Phoenall "Care to explain then why it was that the term Palestinian was derogatory and an insult and any arab muslim would kill you if you called them a Palestinian. The term was reserved for any Jew living in the area up until Arafat stole in in 1960 and used it to define the arab muslims and give their cause credibility"
Can you cite a source for this statement?
You need to start reading some history books instead of getting your info from the Islamic terrorist supporters on USMB.
Israeli Jews were called "Palestinian" and so-called Palestinians were properly called "Arab" until Ararafart pulled a switcheroo. Much like faggots calling themselves "gay." Get with the program, Toodles.
So true. Among the indigenous Palestinians were Jews & not a single theiving Muslim Palestinian yet in existence.
Cognitive dissonance at its best.
Sometimes it is good to repeat facts from source material to prove how ridiculous (and liars) the Israel Firsters are:
"AN INTERIM REPORT ON THE CIVIL ADMINISTRATION OF PALESTINE, during the period 1st JULY, 1920--30th JUNE, 1921.
There are now in the whole of Palestine hardly 700,000 people, a population much less than that of the province of Gallilee alone in the time of Christ.* (*
See Sir George Adam Smith "Historical Geography of the Holy Land", Chap. 20.) Of these 235,000 live in the larger towns, 465,000 in the smaller towns and villages.
Four-fifths of the whole population are Moslems. A small proportion of these are Bedouin Arabs; the remainder, although they speak Arabic and are termed Arabs, are largely of mixed race.
Some 77,000 of the population are Christians, in large majority belonging to the Orthodox Church, and speaking Arabic. The minority are members of the Latin or of the Uniate Greek Catholic Church, or--a small number--are Protestants.
The Jewish element of the population numbers 76,000.
Almost all have entered Palestine during the last 40 years. Prior to 1850 there were in the country only a handful of Jews. In the following 30 years a few hundreds came to Palestine. Most of them were animated by religious motives; they came to pray and to die in the Holy Land, and to be buried in its soil. After the persecutions in Russia forty years ago, the movement of the Jews to Palestine assumed larger proportions. Jewish agricultural colonies were founded."- See more at:
