    No one called themselves Palestinians back in the 1800s in the Ottoman Empire either. But yeah man, you got me dead to rights. Great Job.

      They did, Palestinians have called themselves that since Roman occupation. Palestine, phalistine before it, has been a recognized name region for longer than Christianity has existed, much less the word ottoman or around 80% of modern hebrew words. Israeli education really is some of the worst in the world, right under american education.

        Sorry, I was off by two years. The first use of Palastinian to describe modern Arabs in the region was Khalil Beidas in 1898. Yes, the region has been referred to as variations of Palestine since the Greeks. I didn’t say otherwise. And go fuck yourself.

          “modern Arab”? What kind of racist ass white supremacist nonsense are you people pushing now? Palestinians the current and past population are semites, specifically a majority are genetically Jewish. Palestinian, as an ethnic supergroup is compromised of hundreds of ethnicities, all of whom have been called Palestinian longer than the concept of Israel as a nation has been kicking around white colonials heads.
