I have several times, most recently here quoted historical figures including Palestine Liberation Organisation executive committee member Zahir Muhsein who admitted that:
The reason? I have been made aware of this from this blog:
'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.I must admit that I now see that I may have been hasty in repeating that quotation and assuming that it was clear-cut that Jordan was the Palestinian state.
For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.'
The reason? I have been made aware of this from this blog:
'In July 2010 J. D. Longstreet, a widely read commentator, wrote, “Going back to 1937 we learn that “a local Arab leader, Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, told the Peel Commission, which ultimately suggested the partition of Palestine: “There is no such country [as Palestine]! 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria."'Sorry so I may be wrong the Palestinian state may not be Jordan, maybe it's Syria. One thing I do know, it sure as hell isn't Israel.
