1. You didn't answer my post at all.
You didn't address my pointing out the division was plenty Fair.
You are UNAWARE of the history of the last 70/100/150 years and had No answer to my showing the relative fairness of the Partition.
2.
Your new link does NOT disagree with my contention (Refutation of your BS) there has had never been a self-governing political entity Palestine.
So instead, and Deflecting, you go to the Wiki entry for 'Palestinian People', who are by it's own description are a Mish-Mash of local groups, including Jews...
and ergo could have just as easily become part of Jordan, Egypt, Syria, or the Newer Israel genetically.
3. So local arabs/arabized peoples got Jordan, and were further offered a New 100% Arab Muslim state 'palestine', a well as some/minority being part of the Jewish state, Israel. Quite consistent with the Gene pool YOU posted. Not unfair to give the Jews the majority Jewish areas and the sparse Negev Desert.
In fact, Jordan ANNEXED the WB in 1949 and Palestinians joined their brethren as citizens of that state until Jordan Lost the WB to Israel in the 1967 War.
You can thank Israel for this Identity that wasn't going anywhere until Hussein lost it.
Palestine was a crossroads of many peoples and large and Continuous MIX.
Palestine inhabited by a mixed population
4. In fact, up until the Jews called took the name 'Israel' for their state, it was Mainly THEY, Not Arabs, who called themselves 'Palestinians'!
Palestinians" [are an] Arab people No one heard of before 1967 before Israeli governments certified this piece of Propaganda... As has been noted many times before, prior to 1948, that is before Jews had begun to call themselves Israelis, the Only persons known as "Palestinians" were Jews, with the Arabs much preferrring to identify themselves as part of the great Arab nation.
- David Basch
"...Palestine does not belong to the "Palestinians" and never did. They did not even call themselves Palestinians until the middle 1960s. Before that, the word "Palestinian" meant "Jewish," while the local Arabs called themselves simply "Arabs."
The creation of the PLO by Gamal Abdul Nasser in 1964 was a brilliant ploy to distort the parameters of the dispute, largely for propaganda purposes.
It was inconvenient to have a conflict between 20-odd Arab states with an area 530 times greater than Israel, a population more than 30 times greater than Israel's and enormously richer natural resources.
Far better to Invent a "Palestinian" nation that would be the eternal "underdog," - a nation consisting partly of Immigrants from Syria and other Arab countries who came to benefit from the rapidly growing economy Zionist Jews created..."

"There is No language known as Palestinian. - There is No distinct Palestinian culture.
There has Never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians.
Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another Recent Invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9% of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of 1% of the landmass.
But that's too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today. Greed. Pride. Envy. Covetousness. No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough....""
- Joseph Farah, Arab-American journalist
So before the creation of the State of Israel, who were the Palestinians?
Until 1950, the name of the Jerusalem Post was THE PALESTINE POST;
the journal of the Zionist Organization of America was NEW PALESTINE;
Bank Leumi was the ANGLO-PALESTINE BANK;
the Israel Electric Company was the PALESTINE ELECTRIC COMPANY;
there was the PALESTINE FOUNDATION FUND and.... the PALESTINE PHILHARMONIC.
All these were JEWISH organizations.
In America, Zionist youngsters sang "PALESTINE, MY PALESTINE", "PALESTINE SCOUT SONG" and "PALESTINE SPRING SONG" In general, the terms Palestine and Palestinian referred to the region of Palestine as it was. Thus "Palestinian Jew" and "Palestinian Arab" are straightforward expressions. "Palestine Post" and "Palestine Philharmonic" refer to these bodies as they existed in a place then known as Palestine.
The adoption of a Palestinian identity by the Arabs of Palestine is a Recent phenomenon.
Until the establishment of the State of Israel, and for another Decade or so, the term Palestinian applied almost Exclusively to the Jews.

Good to see the truth being posted.
