Armstrong is putting into words one question I have asked for years. What is a Palestinian other than a person who hates Jews? They seem to have no other unifying or identifying characteristics.

"They seem to have no other unifying or identifying characteristics"
Supposedly they are the arabs(and their descendants) who lived in the geographic area that we now know as Israel. However many of them are actually from the arab countries that surround Israel... Egypt being the most popular in my estimation(Arafat is actually Egyptian).
So ultimately my answer to you is that they are just Arabs who want to live in the geographic area we now know as Israel.

"In a land where large portions of the population are starving and lack a sense of future possibilities, this kind of social conditioning holds a special appeal, suggesting a more glorious alternative to poverty...Meanwhile, Palestinians suffer. They are poor. They lack a court system, and even many basic rights."

When are the Palestine people going to learn that they are dupe for a very rich elite. The question I ask is why aren't their Muslim brothers, who have deep pockets for terrorists and have enough wealth to support all aspects of society there for them, dosen't. The Arab world cries injustice towards Israel, fully understanding the Palestine people must be kept from rising above sub standard conditions. They might become wise...

What is Palestine? Can anyone point to a map of this place? Are the disputed lands Palestine? Does anyone on here think that if the disputed lands were returned to their respective former countries that they'd turn around and hand over the land to these so called Palestinians?

There is no Palestine, therefore there are no Palestinians. And about the only way to prove this to the world would be to actually hand those lands back to the Arab countries which lost them.
