As mentioned above.
It gives you a glimpse into the past. Not even pre-1948, but when the movie was made in 1960.
In the movie, as in the historical fact, the only people ever called Palestinians are Jews.
Arabs were Arabs.
As late as 1960, this was fact as understood by everyone.
Every reference to Palestinians refers to a Jew.
And in 1960, when the movie was made, this was understood worldwide. I dare anyone to find a protest to the contrary.
......................................................
Ben Ami is one of the Palestinians who run this camp.
This is the Palestinian commander, David Ben Ami.
This chap Ben Canaan probably wasn't lying when he said he fought with us. Thousands of Palestinians did.
Tell me about yourself. Where do you come from?
I don't come from anywhere. I'm a sabra. A native-born Palestinian.
I know Haganah would call him back, if you would only use your influence. Any girl that falls in love with a Palestinian boy has a long wait coming.

So what happened since 1960 to create an Arab "Palestinian" people deserving of their own additional Arab country. An issue that preoccupies the World.
