And thanks for helping set "Avenger" straight. He's a pure propaganda spewing machine.

Also, when you said:

"BTW, the Arab propaganda machinery discovered (invented) that the local Arabs constituted a distinct "Palestinian" people only long after the establishment of the State of Israel, somewhere in the 1960ties."

Yup, that was mainly the work of Arafat and his PLO terror buddies, who started their revisionist history and urban mythology of an Arabic Palestinian race separate from the Jordanians after they realized they could not face Israel militarily. Total propaganda and historically proven untrue. Arafat learned to lie well though, from his Nazi buddies. That's why so many people believe that nonsense.
