Perhaps you need a little more history information on that area. THERE IS NO PALISTINE. That area ia not Arabic. You confuse this fact that all moslems are not Arabs but most Arabs are moslem. Syrians, Turks, Iranis, Iraquis are moslem but not Arabs. They are not from the Arabian peninsula. As a matter of fact they pretty much hate arabs. The Turkish word for dog and negro is “Arab”. The so called palistinians are a made up people.
This is perhaps the most asinine thing I have ever heard. It is one thing to state that the people who live in this area are not a separate nation or people from their neighbors, it is another to deny that one of the names that this area has been known as in Palestine. The term Palestine predates the Israeli/Palestinian dispute by 1500 years. It was used by Herodotus in his Histories in the 5th century B.C. It was also used by other such as Aristotle, Ovid, Pliny the Elder and Plutarch. It was even used by the Jewish writers Philo of Alexandria and Josephus. The term was used as the official name of the Roman province from A.D. 135 after the the Bar Kokhba Revolt. The fact that you do not like the use of the name does not change the fact that this is a name that has been historically attached to the region.
That area ia not Arabic.
This is plain silly. The non-Jewish population (70% of the population in 1947) is Arabic speaking.
You confuse this fact that all moslems are not Arabs but most Arabs are moslem.
I am well aware that many of the non-Jewish population is Christian and not Muslim. I never once mentioned Muslim.
Syrians, Turks, Iranis, Iraquis are moslem but not Arabs. They are not from the Arabian peninsula … The so called palistinians are a made up people.
True for the Turks but not the others. I think that you are confusing the term "arab" with "bedouin". The Arabs include more people than just the inhabitants of the Arabian peninsula. There are Arabs, mixed with the native Berber population, as far away as Morocco. There is a population from Morocco to Oman speaks Arabic, shares a common culture, and self-identify themselves as Arabs. That is good enough.
But make up your mind; the Arabic speaking non-Jewish population living between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River are either distinct from the neighboring Arabs or not. In the former case they are a separate people and should be called by the name they have given to themselves: Palestinians. In the latter case they are Arabs. Which is it?
In the end this is all semantics. They are an indigenous non-Jewish population that is not going away. This is a reality that Israel must accept, phantasies to the contrary notwithstanding.
