Reader comment on item: The Year the Arabs Discovered Palestine

Whether the so called Palestinian Arab people question of nationality began in 1920 or anytime thereafter makes no difference, as two years after you wrote this article, your prediction shows just that. You wrote, "... the fact that this identity is of such recent and expedient origins suggests that the Palestinian primacy is superficially rooted and that it could eventually come to an end, perhaps as quickly as it got started."

I believe that the so called Palestinian Arab people as a 'nationality' have committed suicide.
