Tell me what being palestinian really means? The land was called palestine, but the people living there before the Jews took it back are really what? Arabian Muslims, right? The people until recently were NOT called palestinians, right? Palestine is only the land.
Furthermore, if you do a little research you will discover the origin of the word "palestine" is not of arab/muslim origin, it is Greek. The word Syria is also Greek. So what does this mean? It means that Arab muslims like yourself were NOT the original owners of the land you claim to be yours.
Sure, there is nothing wrong with being from the west bank, as long as you are not one of the people that cheer whenever your people set off suicide bombs that kill innocent Israelis. It is historical fact that their ancesstors also lived there and were slaughtered and driven away, and they swore to return someday. And they did, thousands of years later.
The fight there is a holy war with both sides claiming the same real estate. Both sides willing to duel to the death, and both sides claiming the other is the devil. Isn't it ironic how we pay for the sins of our ancesstory?

You call yourself "Palestinian" but I betcha your grandparents considered themselves Syrian if pressed to choose a 'national' identity.

Seems to be fashionable at the moment, but don't fall into the trap of imagining that just because you are gruesomely oppressed, you can do no wrong.

Is that why the rest of your questions are so racist? People, look at the other questions he asks.
