One of the consequences of the current war with Hamas should be the recognition of a historical fact: there is and never has been any “Palestinian people.”
Palestinian is not a nationality or ethnicity. Palestinians are Arabs who are supporters of the ideology of the PLO - the Palestine Liberation Organization and associated terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Fatah.
That is, a Palestinian is as much a nationality as a “Nazi” or a “Communist.”
As a rule, Arabs living in the territory that the Romans renamed “Palestine” after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, and who have citizenship of one of the two states located in Palestine, i.e. Jordan or Israel, they do not consider themselves Palestinians. They call themselves "Jordanians" or "Israeli Arabs."
But exactly the same Arabs, often their relatives, who reside under the rule of Fatah and Hamas in the self-governing territories in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, are brainwashed to consider themselves “Palestinians” .
There were no Palestinians before the creation of the PLO, the Palestine Liberation Organization. The PLO was created in 1964, and in 1968 it adopted in Beirut the “Palestinian National Charter”, where it stated that it was the representative of the “Palestinian people.” Until 1968, no one in the world had heard anything about such people. The PLO Charter provided the first definition of the “Palestinian people”:
“The Palestinians are those Arab nationals who, until 1947, normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or have stayed there. Anyone born, after that date, of a Palestinian father - whether inside Palestine or outside it - is also a Palestinian”. (Article 5)
The “Palestinian people” was invented as a result of Israel’s victory in the Six-Day War of 1967, when the losers realized that it would no longer be possible to take away land from Israel simply by military force. Here's how one of the PLO leaders, Zuheir Mohsen, candidly admits it:
“The Palestinian people do 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. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only 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.”
This was a very successful historical fraud: taking the name of the territory from the old maps, and pretending that it was their state. Since “Palestine” is written on the map, it means this is the land of the “Palestinians,” never mind that we are in fact Arabs who resettled here from Syria and Egypt. Then why is Israel here now? The Israelis occupied our country!
By terrorism and propaganda, and a shrewd coaching of KGB, a mastermind and handler of many “anti-colonial” movements, the leaders of the invented “Palestinians” forced the world to accept their myth.
For example, at the UN there is both The Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) and The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), with multi-billion dollar budgets.
Now that the adherents of the Palestinian ideology have shown their true bestial identity in the massacre in southern Israel, the moment has come when it is necessary to dismantle the historic hoax of the “Palestinian people.” The USA and Israel need to do three things:
1. Recognize that there is not and never has been any Palestinian people as a separate nationality. "Palestinian" means political views aimed at the destruction of Israel, not nationality. Arab and Jew are a nationality, Palestinian is a political affiliation.
2. Denounce the Oslo Accords and recognize PLO and Fatah, not only Hamas, as terrorist organizations. Participation in these or similar organizations, financing them and providing them with any assistance should be considered complicity in a crime.
3. Seek the elimination of The UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and UNRWA as organizations allowing the perpetuation of terrorism and war crimes.
De-Palestinization is as crucial now, in the early stages of WWIII, as de-Nazification was after WWII.
