   WHAT IS A PALESTINIAN? You might be surprised...   
      
   Everyone, and no one, could be a so called "Palestinian." Anyone, including   
   the Jewish people living in the Land of Israel falsely named "Syria   
   Palaestina" by Roman invaders in 135AD (where the label "Palestine" came from)   
   could rightfully call    
   themselves "Palestinians," and in fact did so.   
      
   There has never been a distinct and uniquely recognizable Palestinian people   
   that has developed, or a race, or an ethic background, or a culture, or a   
   religion, or a legal system, or a coinage, or a distinct ancient national   
   history, or an economy, or a    
   language, or a religion unique and distinguished as "Palestinians."    
      
   So called "Palestinians" have been comprised of Jews, Arabs, Egyptians, Romans   
   and others for centuries. Based on that fact, no claim established on historic   
   or current reality would give the Land of Israel to a small group of people   
   who are now    
   attempting claim "it's our land of Palestine because we are Palestinians."   
   Again; what is a Palestinian?    
      
   Palestine was composed of different ethnicities. There are Palestinians who   
   are and were Israelis, Arab, Kurdish, Syriac/Assyrian, Armenian, and   
   Afro-Arab, Ghassanids, Nabataeans, Qedarites, Ummayads, Abbasids, and some   
   others. The Armenian population    
   were there for a long time, nearly 2000 years.   
      
   Suddenly, and magically, the Palestinians are now ONLY MUSLIM ARABS exclusive   
   of all other people? Such a claim is ignorant nonsense.   
      
   MANDATORY PALESTINE PERIOD   
      
   During the modern "Mandatory Palestine period," the term "Palestinian" was   
   used to refer to all people residing in the Land of Israel, regardless of   
   religion or ethnicity. Today, the "Palestinian people" have become an Arab   
   ethno-nationalist group    
   residing primarily in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, Israel, Jordan and parts   
   of southern Lebanon and Syria with no historic or legitimate claim on the Land   
   of Israel.   
      
   In 1930 the Palestinian Post Newspaper (now called The Jerusalem Post) was   
   owned and run by Jews (an antecedent paper, The Palestine Bulletin, was   
   founded in January 1925 by Jacob Landau of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency).   
      
   The Palestinian National Orchestra was comprised of all Jews. The Palestine   
   Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1936 under the leadership of Jewish musician   
   Bronislaw Huberman. Huberman, a violinist, at first envisioned an   
   international center for the arts,   
    but instead focused on developing a critically acclaimed symphony orchestra.   
   Conditions in Europe had become such that the orchestra could serve as a haven   
   for persecuted Jewish musicians.   
      
   The establishment of a Jewish National Library in Jerusalem was the brainchild   
   of Joseph Chazanovitz (1844–1919). His idea was creating a "home for all   
   works in all languages and literatures which have Jewish authors, even though   
   they were created in    
   foreign cultures." Chazanovitz collected some 15,000 volumes which later   
   became the core of the library. The B'nai Brith library, founded in Jerusalem   
   in 1892, was the first public library in Palestine to serve the Jewish   
   community.   
      
   The term "Palestine Regiment" refereed to the Jewish Infantry Brigade Group of   
   the British Army during World War II, and the term "Palestinian Talmud", which   
   is an alternative name of the Jerusalem Talmud, was used mainly in academic   
   sources.   
      
   PALESTINIANS   
      
   In modern and current society, beginning about 1964-65, encouraged by Muslim   
   Arab propaganda and the terrorist organization, the P.L.O., the Muslim Arabs   
   began to call themselves "Palestinians" attempting to be seen as a distinct   
   people who have a claim    
   on the Land of Israel. In reality they're simply a group of Muslim Arabs   
   claiming to be "Palestinians" who "own the Land of Israel." There is no basis   
   of fact for any such claim. Their deceptive cry is "Palestine for the   
   Palestinians!" The Jewish people    
   could justifiably make the same claim.   
      
   THE MODERN NATION OF ISRAEL IS BORN   
      
   On November 29, 1947 the United Nations adopted Resolution 181 that would   
   divide Great Britain's former Palestinian mandate into a Jewish state, the   
   Arab Muslims turned down the mandate in May 1948 when the British mandate was   
   scheduled to end. On May    
   14th, 1948 Israel legally declared its nationhood and sovereign independence.    
   The international community said YES to the establishment of the State of   
   Israel. On 29 November, 1947, a 2000-year-old dream became reality: A Jewish   
   State was born anew in    
   its ancient homeland.   
      
   On that day the U.N. General Assembly voted on Resolution 181, adopting a plan   
   to partition the British Mandate into two states, one Jewish, one Arab.   
      
   Having ruled the area since 1917, Great Britain announced in February 1947 its   
   decision to terminate its Mandate. The Special Committee appointed by the   
   General Assembly recommended the establishment of two separate states, a   
   Jewish State and an Arab    
   State, to be joined by economic union, with the Jerusalem-Bethlehem region as   
   an enclave under international administration.   
      
   On May 14th, 1948 Israel formally declared its official statehood. The Arabs   
   having flatly turned down U.N. Resolution 181 chose to attack Israel the very   
   next day, a war they and 5 other Arab nations would lose which resulted in   
   about 750,000 Arabs    
   leaving the land and the new nation of Israel to become refugees. Resolution   
   181 would have given much of the land of Israel to the Arabs (later to call   
   themselves "Palestinians"), but the Arabs simply wanted it all and desired to   
   drive the Jewish people    
   out of their land.   
      
   WHAT WOULD WE OR OTHER COUNTRIES DO?   
      
   If a group of Muslim Arabs who decided to exclusivity call themselves   
   "Americans" (excluding all other people other than themselves) demand that all   
   people living in the United States leave the country and never return giving   
   it to these "Americans"    
   comprised of Muslim Arabs; how would the people currently living in the United   
   States respond...migrate to other counties giving into such territorial   
   demands? NOT LIKELY, NOT EVER. Why then should we expect the Jewish people in   
   Israel to do so?   
      
   Simply calling yourself a "Palestinian" doesn't mean you own land wrongly   
   renamed "Syria Palaestina" by invading Roman militarists 2000 yrs ago.
