    From the article:

    > There were Palestinians living in Israel under military rule until 1967. These were the people who experienced the arbitrary rule of the whim of a military officer, whose lives were in the hands of someone who knew or cared nothing about them, long before the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza in 1967. After that, the denial simply extended to the occupied territories.

    This is not true. There were Israeli Arabs living in Israel under the same rule all other Israeli citizens lived. There were Arabs who lived in Israel illegally (just like illegal immigrants in the US do) and these people were subjected to (no, not "arbitrary", of course) appropriate actions of the authorities. Further, neither Israeli Arabs nor Arabs living in other places were 'Palestinians' prior to the late 1960 when Palestinians as an ethnicity were invented.

    It is not a coincidence that the first official definition of "Palestinians" appeared in the Palestinian Charter in 1968.

    It is also no coincidence that not a single book or article about Palestinian people, their culture and history that was published prior to 1960 can be found.

    The reason is pretty simple: prior to 1960 the term "Palestinian" had a meaning "someone living in Palestine" be it an Arab, a Jew, an Armenian or a Druze. In the late 1960s the definition of Palestinians as "Arabs who lived in Palestine for at least two years and all their descendants" was adopted. According to this definition, an Egyptian Yasser Arafat was a Palestinian; an American Edward Said was a Palestinian; Ariel Sharon who was born in Palestine and lived there all his life is not a Palestinian.

    It's pretty comical that 'Hyperbola' continues to put so much irrelevant garbage and is unable to answer even the simplest questions directly related to her statement. Here is a couple of examples of such questions she is unable to answer:

    1. WHO are Palestinians?

    2. WHAT is "Ethnic cleansing"?

    3. WHAT is "Apartheid"?

    4. Is a country where NON-citizens do not have the same rights citizens have guilty of "Apartheid" (Yes/No)?

    > Previously I have given you numerous lists of book from our library of congress regarding the Palestinian people as far back as the 16 century...

    ... but, alas, you were unable to find even ONE book about the Palestinian people that was published prior to 1960.

    You have another chance to show me ONE such book. Good luck!

    > 1. Palestinians are the peoples of palestine, including...

    ...ALL Israeli Jews as they're "peoples of Palestine", too.

    > 2. You will find an exact description of the legal definition of ethnic cleansing...

    In other words, you're UNABLE to DEFINE what the subject of majority of your complaints is.

    > 3. Special Rapporteur... 59th Session of the General Assembly of the UN ...

    Special Rapporteur is "Apartheid"??? Session of the General Assembly of the UN is "Apartheid"??? It seems that you have no clue about this one either.

    You're pitiful.

    > ...Beschreibung dess gantzen Heyligen Lands Palaestinae ...

    I've asked for a book that was describing the PALESTINIANS, their culture and history; a book that was published prior to 1960. NOT a "Description of all the Holy Land of Palestine" (yes, my German is a good as my English is).

    To make it easier for you to understand the difference between "Holy Land of Palestine" and "Palestinians" please consider that a book about "beautiful Philadelphia", for example, does not necessarily prove the existence of a special distinct nation of Philadelphians having their unique culture, history, language, etc.

    > ...Le voyage de Galile�;e.

    A book about travel to Galilee proves the existence of a special distinct nation of Palestinians (Galileans?) no more than a book about travel to California proves the existence of a special distinct "Californian nation".

    Again, I've asked for a book about PALESTINIANS, not about PALESTINE.

    > True and strange discourse of the travailes of two English pilgrimes ... to Jerusalem, Gaza, Grand Cayro...

    Ditto... I've asked for a book about PALESTINIANS, not about PALESTINE.

      It seems that your definition of 'Palestinians' is (at least partially) similar to mine. I also believe that Palestinians are ALL people of Palestine. I do not agree, however, that a person who's ancestors once lived in Palestine but he/she is living in London or Cairo is a "Palestinian". At least, no more than a person who's ancestors once lived in California is a "Californian" despite him/her living in France.

      Please consider that children and grandchildren of people who fled their native Poland, Hungary, Romania or Germany during WWII are NOT Polish, Hungarians, Romanians or Germans if they live in the US. They are AMERICANS.

      > ...the UN has lists of some 5 million palestinains (and the land and property stolen from them by zionists) with right of return.

      One can register with the UN as a 'refugee' (given he/she is an Arab) but such registration DOES NOT mean these people have a "right" to return to a sovereign state where they've never lived.

      Further, any person who's land and property were stolen from him/her by zionists has the right (and is encouraged to) bring his/her case to the Israeli court and demand compensation.

        > They include lots of description of the people of palestine. Stop lying.

        Unlike you, I NEVER lie, 'hyperbola'. Yes, these books include "lots of description of the people of palestine", no doubt about it. These books, however, DO NOT include any descriptions of the 'PALESTINIANS' as a distinct ethnic entity, an ethnic entity similar to Arabs, Jews, Armenians, Druzes, Kirkassians and some other REAL people of Palestine who lived in Palestine for hundreds of years and continue living there today.

        > ...would you say that a book about israel that describes the country and its people proves that the isreali people do not exist?

        No, I would say that the Israelis AS AN ETHNICITY do not exist. Israel is A NATION (a STATE) and an 'Israeli' means "nationality", NOT ethnicity. Children of an Israeli who were born in Malaysia, for example, because their parents moved to Kuala Lumpur for whatever reason are NOT Israelis, they are Malaysians. Canadian citizens who's granparents fled to Canada because of the Russian revolution in 1917 are NOT Soviets and NOT Russians, they are Canadians of Russian or Ukrainian ethnicity. Similarly, children of people who NEVER lived in Israel and NEVER were Israeli citizens are NOT Israelis.
