Christians should know, Jesus was a Palestinian! A few videos on the subject. There was a region names Palestine by the Romans , but it was not a state and there was no Palestinian People. There are no historical references to such and no archaeological evidence of them. There has not been a clear definition of the borders of this region, it was a general area and mostly barren land throughout post Roman history. In the British Palestine Mandate, by the way, when the British referred to Palestinians they meant the Jews and when they referred to Arabs they used the term, Arabs. Before the the area called Palestine by the UN became Jordan (in 1946) and Israel (in 1948), the name Palestine was actually associated with innumerable Jewish enterprises. The Jerusalem Post, an Israeli-owned newspaper, was originally founded in 1932 as The Palestine Post, renamed in 1950, two years after the State of Israel was declared.

By mid-1948, two independent sovereign states existed in the area once known as Palestine: the Arab-Palestinian state of Jordan, and the Jewish-Palestinian state of Israel.

This act will astound the world. Today they will know that the Arabs are arranged for battle, the critical hour has arrived. We have reached the stage of serious action and not declarations. – Nasser, May, 30, 1967 after signing a defense pact with Jordans King Hussein Our basic objective will be the destruction of Israel. The Arab people want to fight . . . The mining of Sharm el Sheikh is a confrontation with Israel. Adopting this measure obligates us to be ready to embark on a general war with Israel. – Nasser, May 27, 1967 Israel also maintains that its attacks were justified by the Egyptian closure of the Straits of Tiran, an international waterway, the closure of which constituted a casus belli under customary international law later codified in 1958 Geneva Conventions on the Law of the Sea.
