Many Lebanese have a different (non-Arab) lineage than Jordanians, Palestinians, or Syrians - I believe many were there at the time of the Old Testament, pre-dating the Arab (and subsequent Turkish) invasions. I have Palestinian coins from 1942; what should those people call themselves?
If they’re all Arabs anyway, why use names like “Jordanians”, “Syrians”, “Iraqis”, “Saudis”, “Moroccans”, etc.
They are a tribe of arabs, there was no Palestine or Palestinians until the Brits ran things after WW1.
Newt is correct on this.
The story seems to me to be about WHY they call themselves what they call themselves. It’s the why not the what.
