"President of Palestine"

Absolutely right. Oslo established a "chariman"-ship, not a "presidency".

It's only expected they will play these name-games, but the sad part is that they've gotten the world to play along. You can now go to the capital of something like 90 countries around the world and visit the "Embassy of the State of Palestine"

(nevermind that such a state does not, and has never existed)
