The title "Palestinians"

Submitted by Joseph Yedidia (United States), Dec 11, 2011 at 15:56

After the first world war, when the British got the Mandate on Palestine, ALL the inhabitants of Palestine, when they spoke about themselves in English or German, called themselves Palestinian. The Jews who joined the British Army in WW2, where called Palestinian soldiers. Until 1964, we, the Jews of Palestine, called them ARABS, and so did they call themselves. Also, on November 29, 1947, the UN decided on two states, a jewish one and an ARAB one.
