Oh grasshopper, allow me to answer your question to the best of my knowledge. Palestinian Arabs are not merely the descendants of the Muslim Arab conquerors of the seventh century, but the cumulative stock that included all the races that had entered and settled in Palestine since the dawn of history. The preceded both Jew and Muslim Arab, in addition to incorporating them.
You are correct to say that Palestine has been there for thousands of years. Only the ignorant who believe in the rhetoric of the Zionist controlled media and history do not believe so.
Check any map that dates prior to 1948, before the terrorism against Palestinians and their land began. Palestine was there and is here now. It will be here forever. Israel, well, who knows. It has only been there since 1948, and that was a mistake in the first place.
So to all of you ney sayers who say Palestine never was. You are either misinformed and need to do some homework or just plain jealous of the determination of the Palestinian people and their beautiful land you are still trying to steal.
By the way, to the mean zionist girl that keeps emailing me but has no verified address to respond to...I can't help it if I am from a beautiful land and I strive to defend it. I still own my family's land in your so called Israel. I visit it each year and make sure it is well kept by the Israelis that pay me rent. Your remarks about our physical "ugliness" are completely unfounded. Look around, Palestinian women are absolutely stunning. As am I. :) Jealous much?

The Romans called it Palestine as an insult to the Jews. It is derived from the word Phillistine and was given to the land when the Romans invaded. As such the Palestinian people are mostly a mix of Arabs, Jews, Romans, and Crusaders.

Their very existense...They are surrounded by Arab countries that want nothing less than their complete extermination off the face of the earth...They "are" Gods chosen people and the Arabs can't stand it,,,What would you be holding on to if you were Jewish ??? The Jewish people have been chased around the globe since there were Jews...As "small" a group as they are, NO-ONE has succeeded in killig them off...Not even Hitler.
Hitler exterminated 6 million Jews--(count to 6 million, and see how long that takes) and they are still fighting for their lives...WHAT A COUNTRY...I admire them!!!

What point or question are you trying to make or ask. A bunch of babbling is all I get. If you are trying to prove ownership, possesion is 9/10ths of the law !

It was created by the same UN mandate (UN GA Res 181) that created Israel.
