If you consider Palestine to be a “Sovereign” and “Independent” country that goes back through most of recorded history as many would have you to believe, then a few questions need to be answered:

• •When was it founded and by whom? :
• •What were its borders? :
• •What was its capital? :
• •Who was the President? :
• •What was its form of government?:
• •What were its major cities? :
• •What constituted the basis of its economy? :
• •Who was the Palestinian leader before Yasser Arafat? :
• •Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation? :
• •What was the language of the country of Palestine? :
• •What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine? :
• •What was the name of its currency and what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, or Japanese yen on any particular date? :
• •And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?
