Heck, one of the major Arab newspapers of the time was called Falastin, established in Jaffa in 1911.<br /><br />It is also completely irrelevant, since the principle of self-determination doesn't hinge on the label a population applies to itself (good thing too, because "Canadian" and "American" don't exactly have precolonial lineages).<br /><br />Serious folks (as opposed to polemicists) recognize that there were multiple forced displacements during and after 1947-49. Since it is widely agreed (even by Israeli negotiators) that Palestinians were forcibly displaced, and widely agreed (even by Palestinian negotiators) that Jews were forcibly displaced I don't see the point in creating an artificial debate about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719362718346107647.post-46955380581762813322011-09-24T03:54:06.168-04:002011-09-24T03:54:06.168-04:00I think any new state or new member of the U.N.

Another very troubling aspect of Palestinian statehood is the legal precedent it will create for international law. What next, the Native Americans asking the U.N. to declare. a nation state in Oklahoma? Perhaps RAZA asking the U.N. to demand the return of California, etc to Mexico? Perhaps the U.N. could demand a return to Pre WW I borders throughout Europe?Raedwulfnoreply@blogger.com
