girlactionfigure: The entry for PALESTINE in the 1911 Encyclopaedia notes that it is not a country but rather an inexactly-defined region.Taking back the narrative.Palestine is a region, not an Arab nationality, it is not an Arab word, it is a corruption of a word meaning Philistine (ironically meaning invader). At no time has there been a Palestinian Arab kingdom, state or political entity, until it was created by Israel as part of a treaty with Arafat. Palestinian nationhood is a fraud that none of the Arab powers who endorse it believe, as they themselves proved when they annexed or ruled the land that would become the so-called “Occupied Territories”, a term they would only begin using once Israel recaptured it in the Six Day War in 1967.Over two decades, no Palestinian state was ever created when Judea, Samaria and Gaza were in the hands of Egypt and Jordan. Only after two major military defeats caused the Arab powers to abandon future wars with Israel, did they decide to endorse that particular bit of mythology.Jews From Arab Lands -- source link
