#MyJihad Is To Expose The Palestinian Myth

Originally published by the web site Islamwatch on July 18, 2010:

Islmawatch – An Arab Islamic Palestine or Palestinian people is a myth. Historically, Palestine meant the Jewish ‘Holy Land’ and Palestinian stood for ‘Jews of the Holy Land’… So the current understanding of Palestine and Palestinians is a myth at best and hijacking of what belonged to others at worst.

In one of the most candid admissions ever made, Zuhair Muhsin, little known leader of the PLO splinter gang known as “Al Sa’iqa” (The Storm) and backed by Syria, said in a March 31, 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw:

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.

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.
