Comments by "Sim Ko" (@simko8665) on "Arab states condemn Israeli minister’s ‘no Palestinians’ remark" video.
It's about time to bring up this issue. Most of the now so-called Palestinians are descendants of migrant worker who arrived in that area in the second part of the 19th Century . Not alone, with them also arrived the first Zionists from Europe and Yemen who bought lands from the Arab owners and started to settle this land. If you really want to know more, I suggest you to read the history of this region for the last 200 years starting 1831 when the Egyptians took it over from the Ottomans for ten years. As for the flag, this was the shape of this region when the British took it over in WW1. In 1917 the British gave the Balfour declaration for a Jewish state there. As a token of gratitude for the Hashemite family who ruled in Saudi Arabia and who help them in WW1, the East side of the Jordan river was torn from that area by the British and was given to the Hashemite family who was expelled from Saudi Arabia by the new rulers. The first time the name Palestine appears as a nation was about 100 years ago and was given to them by their leader Hag Amin El Husseini, the one who met with Hitler in order to put the local Jews into Gas Chambers after Field marshal Rommel will invade Egypt and will arrive in Palestine. This was a very short true history. Look for it if you do not believe it. That's was the background of the speech of the Israeli Minister.

When last time the Arabs were united? Perhaps in the 7th Century when they went out the Arabian desert and start taking over by sword the Middle East, the Maghreb and even some of Europe. Not talking about killing messes of people who refused to convert to Islam.
