“Question to all you lefties that read/post here: How long have there been arabs who have been called palestinian? But first how about this one: Where is the ‘P’ in the arabic alphabet? Which leads to – how could they have ever called themselves palestinian not having a ‘P’ in their alphabet?”

I am not a leftie but do study languages and history….who ever told you Palestinians are / were Arabs to begin with..?? Why would they refer to themselves or by others as Palestinian in Arabic Language when their origin is not Arabic..?

Maybe the education on this board needs to start with Origin of Palestinians, Jews, Arabs, and assorted players on the board. If this is what people believe, no wonder the middle east is such a mess.

Try studying actual History of the region instead of sitting on lard asses, as David Lincoln so eloquently states.
