The names “Palestine” and “Palestinian” have a complex and very long – though fascinating - history.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_name_Palestine

So what? Almost none of today’s nation-states or ethnic groups existed in identifiable forms in the same territory 2,000+ years ago as they do now. Many modern names for people and places derive from the Romans – Scots, possibly German, Romanian. It has no bearing on their present-day claims to be a people or polity

If US forces enter Gaza tasked with evicting the population, they will do everything to complete the task even if the streets run with blood.

The world is going to be horrified at what will unfold.
It will make Bibi's genocide look like an afternoon picnic.
U.S. citizens will themselves be horrified at what's being done in their name, and there will be protests that dwarf the Palestinian students.
Trumps popularity will nosedive when labelled a war criminal as hundreds or thousands of US servicemen arrive back home in draped coffins.
His power base will be greatly diminished, but on the other side he is a lame duck President so it won't really matter.
But I don't think he'll want to be remembered as that kind of President.

Armchair Critic,
You always show us how mad this all is yet you keep on pushing for more !

Something that Trump ignores and Netanyahu can’t deny, that goes back 3,700 years – genetically speaking :

It's a bit embarrassing really. Isn't it ?

Hi Banjo,

Gaza is an outcome of founding a nation on the "we were here first" principle. Israel is the outcome of a nation embracing the principle of equality.

Thank goodness Australians chose the latter. Had the presenter of the talk discussed why the Palestinians first advanced the argument he might only have convinced the audience of the consequences of the intolerance of outsiders.

MGM: Make Gaza multicultural. End the hatred and misery.

Rhian,
Don't you think complex is the wrong term for this insanity ?
