The fact is and always has been that the Palestinian Arabs will accept nothing less than the complete removal of Israel from existence. This is how it is, today, and this is how it has been since the idea of turning the unorganized no man’s land known as the British Mandate (otherwise known, since the Romans renamed more than two thousand years ago, as Palestine) into two separate countries, one Arab and one Jewish, which was accepted by the Jews and rejected by the Arabs, in 1948. The name, Palestine, was given to the region by the Romans as an insult to the Jews when they conquered the land. The name meant, “Land of the Philistines.” The actual land of the Philistines, once known as Philistia, was the narrow piece of land along the Mediterranean that is today known as the Gaza Strip. It was NEVER an Arab country.
