Yaakov, I must disagree with you, people are not what you and I say they are, they are what they believe they are, and if this accumulation of clans calls itself "Palestinians", it is not mine or yours (perogative) to tell them different. It is like saying that the Scotts are not Scotts, because they are just an agglomeration of different clans. I doubt that there is a large minority in Israel which will disagree with the fact that, today, there is a large group of people that identify themselves as "Palestinians". It no longer matters if historically , there is such a nation or not. This group is now determined to create such a nation, and I see no historical reason they should be deprived from that right, as long as they are not bent on depriving others of the same rights.
