"History of Palestine" begins at 1895 !! Reuven 25 Apr 2002 Every nation which respects itself has a history of at least 1000 years. (Ex. the formation of the european nations after the fall of the Roman Empire, and the stabilization of the migrations began at about y. 900). The jews have a history of 4000 years. But the palestinians ... Have a look at the site of: Dr. Eng. Baker Abdel Munem, Palestine Ambassador to Canada at palestine history page: http://www.cyberus.ca/~baker/pal_hist.htm In addition, every nation chooses its name from its OWN language. What about the name palestiniens (flistini in arabic) ? - it has no arabic origin ... flistini - english Palestine (the name of the british mandate) - latine Palestina (name given by romans to the land from where they expelled the jews - hebrew Plishtim (name given by jews to the greek tribes which invaded the mediterenian sea shore ) hebrew Polesh = Invader That really fits them !! |
