How are you using the term Palestinian here? There is no Palestinian
nationality, there never was. There are two nations that were created

on
the former Palestine Mandate, Israel and Jordan. All Israeli citizens,
Arab
and Jew, vote in Israeli elections. What nation, other than the US,
allows non-citizens to vote in it's elections?


Then why do these folks keep calling themselves Palestinians? What was all
that negotiating borders for? Right, wrong or indifferent there are a lot
of people that feel they have a claim to something there. Even Israel
agrees with that in priniciple.


Calling themselves Palestinians is like someone from Georgia calling
themself a "Southerner".
