Under ==Origins and Starting Points== After the sentence "In keeping with this philosophy, Al-Quds University states that although "Palestine was conquered in times past by ancient Egyptians, Hittites, Philistines, Israelites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Romans, Muslim Arabs, Mamlukes, Ottomans, the British, the Zionists … the population remained constant—and is now still Palestinian."[5]"

The term Palestinian has changed meanings over the centuries and in different contexts. For many in Europe, before the founding of the modern state of Israel, Palestinian meant to refer to Jews, whereas Arabs were merely known as Arabs in the land of Palestine. A prominent example of this is Immanuel Kant, an 18th-century Prussian philosopher who referred to European Jews as "Palestinians living among us." [1] Another example is a comic in the New York times, portraying 'Palestinians' fighting Nazis and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini. [2] Shenkin25 (talk) 10:20, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Comics count for nothing. The Kant reference is a good example of "be careful what you wish for". What Kant wrote was "Die unter uns lebenden Palästiner sind durch ihren Wuchergeist seit ihrem Exil, auch was die größte Menge betrifft, in den nicht ungegründeten Ruf des Betruges gekommen." (You can google-translate it if you can't read it.) It is true that Jews, but more often Zionists, were sometimes called Palestinians but it is not true that Arabs never were so called. In any case, Shenkin25 seems to be complaining about a direct quotation, which we are not permitted to alter. Zerotalk 13:15, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Opposition to pre-Zionist occupation

edit

According to the article, "and the preceding non-domestic Arab occupations over the Gaza Strip (by Egypt) and the West Bank (by Jordan) additionally had opposition." I have never heard of any such opposition. Furthermore no source is provided for this implausible claim. I propose that this passage be deleted as an obvious lie.
