False basis and red herring. I was not referring to Mandatory Palestine at all; and besides that, Golda Meir, with respect to that, famously said “I’m a Palestinian—I have a Palestinian passport!”

No “Palestinians” existed before the late 1960s; no Arabs were calling themselves by that name. Another brilliant anti-West idea concocted by the USSR. And again, no “Palestinians” originated in Jordan.

Zuheir Mohsen in the 1977 interview (the same one where he admitted that “[t]he Palestinian people does not exist”) referred to “Palestine” and Jordan” as separate entities. As he put it, “(T)he moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan”; so clearly, “Palestine” in their context means only Israel.

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.

My bad I meant that they were Jordanians until 1967 not 1948
