If most of the people in today's Palestine regards themselves as constituting a coherent collective, and have aspirations towards forming a nation, then why is that insufficient to create the institutional fact of a Palestianian people?

Since your being so exacting, when the Jews came out of an ever thankful Egypt, from whom did they steal this sacrocant country they clain with a deed signed by god? Or, to be more specific, does ownership begin with a realtor named Moses? Come off the holier than whomever crap. Israel has no more claim on this area than I do. And for the record, I am ...[text shortened]... an, nor a Palestinean supporter. I am not anti Jewish. I am anti Israel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
