A few days back there was a guy on the tv saying Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine, i'd not heard of this before. According to what i read plenty of people, including Arabs believe this to be true.
So i've just been looking up some articles about this but as usual not everyone agrees, surprize, surprize. I wish there was a definitive answer to this whole Israel/Palestine thing but there never will be i suppose.
I know in the West the majority seems to be on the Palestinian side along with hatred of Israel. I've tried over the years to understand this problem but always come away with more questions. As far as i'm aware the jews have been in that part of the world for thousands of years haven't they? Do the Palestinians claim they were there before that?
This whole thing can get very emotive, i just want the truth whoever is right.
Here is a quote from one of the links:
“Palestine has never existed – before or since – as an autonomous entity. It was ruled alternately by Rome, by Islamic and Christian crusaders, by the Ottoman Empire, and briefly by the British after World War I. The British agreed to restore at least part of the land to the Jewish people as their homeland. There was no language known as Palestinian. There was no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a Palestine governed by the Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc.”
