You can’t say that there was no such place as Palestine.

That was the name of the area since Roman days.

The irony is that until the mid 1960’s only Jews were called Palestinians.

Israel was not created by treaty. [See my post above]

Even the now sacrosanct 1967 lines, which the Arabs and Obama types say Israel must retreat to, are not real borders, they are simply the armistice lines that were formed when the shooting stopped in 1948.

Phrased that wrong.

Until 1948 only Jews were called Palestinians. In the Mid 1960’s the Arabs appropriated that moniker.
