Palestine was never a country remember?
The israelis actually tried to give back Gaza and the jordanian refugee area"aka palestinians" but jordan has consistently refused.
Also Arafatt in his own words said there are no true palestinians remember?

Too bad maps and passports prove you wrong.

Israel had no choice in the matter they had to give it back due to international law.

So when Mark Twain went through Palestine it was totally empty? No one was living there?

Hitti... explained that there was actually no such entity as Palestine - never had been; it was historically part of Syria, and "the Sunday schools have done a great deal of harm to us because by smearing the walls of classrooms with maps of Palestine, they associate it with the Jews in the minds of the average American and Englishman"... He asserted that Zionism was an imposition on the Arabs of an alien way of life which they resented and to which they would never submit.
Philip Khuri Hitti
We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic and geographical bonds
There is no such country [as Palestine]! 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria."
“Palestine and Transjordan are one
"It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria".
(said to the UN Security Council in 1956 by Ahmed Shukeiry the founder of the PLO - the Palestine Liberation Organization)
“There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation.” Identification of a Palestinian state, he conceded, was merely “a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel.”
Palestinians and Jordanians do not belong to different nationalities. They hold the same Jordanian passports, are Arabs and have the same Jordanian culture.”
But i doubt it will put a dent in the ignorance...

yea, i doubt it will. it always makes me laugh when some of the most outspoken ones on a subject claim to know so much won't even bother to look things up, other than what they were taught in school or picked up on their on.
these men, called mistaravim , wear Arab clothing to look like Palestinians as they carry out undercover missions against and sometimes kill Palestinians wanted by the IDF.
The mistaravim work undercover among Palestinians. They encourage them to throw stones, advance and attack the soldiers. They also provide the demonstrators with drinking water, and then, all of a sudden, they attack them. [..]
The mistaravim throw stones at the soldiers and take shelter behind large barricades from the tear gas and rubber bullets. But then, suddenly, they step away from the demonstrators, pull out pistols and fire at them. The mistaravim arrest people as the soldiers join them and pull the demonstrators into military vehicles.
Maha al-Husseini, spokeswoman for Euro-Med, said: "Their operation is illegal and violates the principle of distinction between civilians and combatants, which is prohibited under international humanitarian law"
"The way they arrest Palestinians is very violent and is considered a deception, and the detainee suffers brutal and unjustified beating.”
