Palestinians: An Invented People
WHO ARE THE PALESTINIANS?

If you are so sure that
"Palestine, the country, goes back through most of recorded history",
I expect you to be able to answer a few basic questions about that country of
"Palestine":
1. When was it founded and by whom?
2. What were its borders?
3. What was its capital?
4. What was its form of government?
5. Can you name at least one Palestinian leader
before Arafat?
5. Was Palestine ever recognized by a country
whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for interpretation?
6. What was the language of the country of
Palestine?
7. Have the Palestinians left any artifacts
behind?
8. Do you know of a library where one could find
a work of Palestinian literature produced before 1967?
9. And here is the least sarcastic question of all: If the
people you mistakenly call "Palestinians" are anything but generic
Arabs collected from all over - or thrown out of - the Arab world, if they
really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them right for
self-determination, why did they never try to become independent until Arabs
suffered their devastating defeat by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War?
The truth should be obvious to everyone who
wants to know it. Arab countries have never abandoned the dream of destroying
Israel; they still cherish it today. Having time and again failed to achieve
their evil goal through military means, they decided to fight Israel by proxy.
For that purpose, they created a terrorist organization, cynically called it
"the Palestinian people" and installed it in Gaza, Judea, and
Samaria. How else can you explain the refusal by Jordan and Egypt to
unconditionally accept back the "West Bank" and Gaza, respectively,
in the aftermath of the 1967 war?
The fact is, Arabs populating Gaza, Judea, and
Samaria have much less of a claim to nationhood than the American Indian tribe
that successfully emerged in Connecticut with the purpose of starting a
tax-exempt casino: at least that tribe had a constructive goal that motivated
them. The so-called "Palestinians" have only one motivation: the
destruction of Israel.
