    No one called themselves Palestinians back in the 1800s in the Ottoman Empire either. But yeah man, you got me dead to rights. Great Job.

      They did, Palestinians have called themselves that since Roman occupation. Palestine, phalistine before it, has been a recognized name region for longer than Christianity has existed, much less the word ottoman or around 80% of modern hebrew words. Israeli education really is some of the worst in the world, right under american education.

          “modern Arab”? What kind of racist ass white supremacist nonsense are you people pushing now? Palestinians the current and past population are semites, specifically a majority are genetically Jewish. Palestinian, as an ethnic supergroup is compromised of hundreds of ethnicities, all of whom have been called Palestinian longer than the concept of Israel as a nation has been kicking around white colonials heads.

              Your source uses none of your words, has an entirely different point, is on a different subject, and most importantly refutes the point you thought you made. Again, your education standards show themselves to be the worst in the modern world.

                Lol, k dude. “Sporting a dark suit and fez, he always seemed to have a cigarette dangling from an ivory holder. His name was Khalil Baydas (1874–1949), and he was the first Arab to use the term “Palestinian” in the modern sense of the word.” -First paragraph. I guess all the education talk was self projection, as your reading comprehension is abysmal.

                  Read beyond the first paragraph and try again little buddy, also the author of this particular article is NOT using Palestinian as an ethnic term like you are.
