I have met many who live in America. You are wrong. To a man, woman, or educated child, they all declare there home or ancestral home to be Palestine and can provide you with an historical accounting of amazing detail, with certainty of mind that I find unmatched in other populations. That's because it's unblurred by the passage of time, being a new retrofit. Had you asked their ancestors before 1920, you would have gotten an identity based on tribe and town: Where are you from? I'm Nabulsi! etc. Even in 1948, the Arabs had not coalesced into a nation. That's why they ran to Cairo and Beirut and waited for Arab High Command, which was commanded by an Iraqi, to drive the Jews into the sea. The Palestinian identity began in earnest once most of Arabs of Palestine were united under one government, which was Israel's, after 1967.
