Arab Muslims claiming to be "Palestinians" is no different than if they migrated to the US and claimed to be "American Indians"

A little history lesson from Kurt Vangsness:

Canaanites go back many years before the time of Christ.

The term "Palestine" had not been invented yet.

No such thing as a "Palestinian" and if there was, the Jews were called "Palestinians" long before Arab Muslims were.

The name "Palestine" was derived from the word "Philistia" and the Philistines were originally from the Aegean and were closely related to the Greeks. Also, the Philistines only occupied a small area in the region of Gaza. The Arab Muslims who now call themselves "Palestinians" are obviously NOT Greek.

Arab Muslims claiming to be "Palestinians" is no different than if they migrated to the US and claimed to be "American Indians" in order to claim that they had a superior right to land in North America. They can't even pronounce the word "Palestine" correctly because there is no "P" sound in Arabic. They say "Falesteen" or "Balestine".

Roman Emporer Hadrian renamed the Kingdom of Judah (from which the word “Jew” was derived), Syria Palaestina ("Palestine") and Jerusalem, Aeolia Capitolina, in an attempt to eradicate Judaism after the Romans put down a Jewish Uprising in ~136AD. This happened long before Arab Muslims conquered the Holy Land.

The first mention of the expression "the people of Palestine" in a UN Document was in 1969, in UN General Assembly Resolution 2535 and the first mention of the term "the Palestinian people", in a UN Document was in 1970 in UNGA Resolution 2628.

We could have gone to the stars, but we took another road instead

Daniel Greenfield blogging at Sultan Knish: THE EAGLE HAS LANDED

Forty-four years ago, a nation that we now know was racist, didn't care about the environment and drank too much soda, landed on the moon.

Half-a-billion television viewers watched it happen live. They saw men walk on the surface of another world. They saw that human beings could break free of their world and take a first step into the rest of the universe.

And that was that.

This isn't the end of the article, of course (and you MUST read this one if you saw it live)!

I was one of those half-a-billion television viewers in 1969, watching it from my home in Honolulu on top of a mountain that overlooks Diamond Head.

Maybe that's why I think this story is so sad.

Maybe you weren't born yet, didn't see it live, and don't give much of a damn.

In any case, DOES IT MATTER?
