Nadine, I happened to catch the Palestinan representative, Rahman Hassan, on C-Span radio this morning. Same typical rants he's used over the past several weeks, comparing the Palestinians to the American revolutionaries. But something he said, although he has probably said it a million times before, struck in my craw this morning. He kept highlighting the fact that the Palestinians have been subjected for 35 years to this illegal occupation. So one can infer that he's claiming the Palestinians weren't occupied before then, when Jordan annexed the region. Thus, Hassan is REALLY asserting either that Jordan is a (THE?) Palestinian state since they don't consider that they were ever occupied by Jordan (or that it was "legal" occupation, or that they are establishing a NEW Palestinian state, which will one day seek to reunite with the Palestinians in Jordan. Just reconfirms to me that Jordan must share the blame for much of this, and that the argument must be advanced that either they are Jordanians, or that Jordan was also "illegally" occupying them from 1948 to 1967.
