We’re getting far afield from my original remark. I used Palestinians in parentheses for all of the reasons you mention and more. They call themselves that no matter how inappropriate. The point was that they were, for the most part, displaced from Jordan when Israel was formed. It’s telling the Jordan didn’t want to take them in when that happened. My point was, they came from Jordan and Jordan should take them back. There, I got your two state solution, 1. Jordan 2. Israel
All fixed.

No “Palestinians” came from Jordan. Apart from what few Arabs were in what the Ottoman Empire called “Southern Syria” when the State of Israel came to be, the majority are from Egypt and Iraq as I noted.

The fact that Zuheir Mohsen spoke of “Palestine” and Jordan as two separate entities speaks for itself. That makes Israel “Palestine” in that context.

Mandatory Palestine is not what the “Palestinians” call “Palestine”.
