One more thing....why don't you do a little research and tell the history of the term Palestinian?
Let me help you.....
"Palestine" is the name the Romans gave to the parcel of land formerly known as Canaan, now known as Israel (which included Jordan and parts of Syria in Biblical times.)
The term "Palestinian" is an invention of Yasser Arafat. They are no different than any of their Arab neighbors, and most of them are descended from Arabs of the surrounding Arab countries, and not native to the land we now call Israel.
They started arriving in droves about the beginning of the 20th century, concurrently with the influx of the Jewish Zionist pioneers because there was work available for them, and because of the improvements the Jews were making to the land.
