In the 1960s out of nowhere Palestinian people emerge, from where did they materialize??
There’s no such thing as a separate Palestinian People, there’s no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, the Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons.
The 1948 Arab-Israeli War that ensued involved Israel and five Arab nations—Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon. By the war's end in July 1949, Israel controlled more than two-thirds of the former British Mandate, while Jordan took control of the West Bank and Egypt took control of the Gaza Strip. There are no Palestinian people, where did they appear from??

Article from the Dutch Newspaper Trouw published in this Interview. Call up the Archive it Exists.
Indeed, on March 31, 1977, Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview with PLO executive committee member Zuheir Moshen in which he said:
“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality, today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.”
Even the Palestinian National Charter starts with this article: “Article 1 – The Palestinian people are an integral part of the Arab nation.”
Moreover, Balad Party founder Azmi Bishara, an Israeli Arab, stated in an interview: “Well, I don’t think there is a Palestinian nation at all; I think there is an Arab nation. I always thought so, and I have not changed my mind.”
There is no such thing as a Palestinian People. Or Palestine.
Picture of Moshe and his quote is in the Archives.
