The Birth of Palestine

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism for tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa. While as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan." Zahir Muhsein, the leader of the al-Sa'iqa Organization and member of the PLO leadership. This statement was made to a Dutch newspaper in 1977.

I hope you enjoy reading them. Comments are allowed on both articles as well as here. I have also written a how to article if anyone is interested. It is titled How to Hang Kitchen Cabinets.
