Nice try, but no cookie... The question, again, is... What defines a member of the Palestinian nation? How do you differentiate a Palestinian from some other individual who speaks the same language or has the same religious beliefs. Such examples for Israel is a common ancestral language (a resurrected one)... Common unique religion.. Common cultural traits... Common genetic similiarities that are unique them.... Common point of origin.... Things like that.... Now show me the unique Palestinian language, religion, culture, or genetic traits that distinguish them for any other Arab tribe in the region?? All you have shown, thus far, is that they had ancestors who lived there. But you haven't shown whether those ancestors originally lived in Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, or Turkey... There has to be something distinctive about the Palestinians, and I'll be damned if I can find it. Hawk
