There's NO WAY Hockey is an arab! (But then, it's wiki, and you probably didn't read all the names.)Meh... Iran is only 53% Persian, yet people say Iranians are Persian. I can see your argument that it's unfair to lump them all together, but it's really not that big a deal. A quick fact check yields this:
Ethnic groups
Palestinian Arab and other (Kurd, Sharkasian, Armenian) 83%,
Jewish 17% (Except for a small minority of Samaritan Jews near Nablus; most of the Jews in the Palestinian territories are Israeli citizens)
"On June 16 1967 Israel offered to give back these territories to Jordan and Egypt in exchange for peace. It even convened a meeting of 80 notable Arabs from the West Bank to discuss whether a Palestinian state could be established there. They all said they would indeed like to have such a state but if they signed any such agreement with Israel, radicals such as Yasser Arafat would kill them..."
Sorry, my argument is not with you, it's just that very time I see notable/arab/palestinian in the same sentence I totally lose my cool!
And wiki doesn't help. Useful for some items, but where history or politics is concerned it's nothing but misinformation.
