"There is no such country as Palestine. 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented. . . . Our country was for centuries part of Syria. 'Palestine' is alien to us. It is the Zionists who introduced it." — Local Arab leader to British Peel Commission,1937

"There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not" — Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian to Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, 1946

"It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria." — Ahmed Shukairy, United Nations Security Council, 1956


WOW!!!! Nice find... But of course, back then, the Arabs were all spouting off about creating an Arab Kingdom, in which there would be NO PLACE for Palestinian nationalism. Just as there was no place within Jordan for such a Palestinian state when the Palestinian partition was arbitrarity created in 1947.
