ZIONIST INFORIVIATION NEWS SERVICE
WHO ARE THE "PALESTINIANS"
"There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is
only for political reasons that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity, because it is in the interest of the Arabs to
encourage a separate Palestinian identity in contrast to Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity is
only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new expedient to continue the fight against
Zionism and for Arab unity."
Zuheir Mohsen, head of military operations for the PLO
and a member of its Supreme Council, as interviewed by James Dorsey in the
Dutch daily Trouw, March 31, 1977.
THE CLAIM OF A "PALESTINIAN" PEOPLE SEPARATE AND DISTINCT FROM AN ARAB PEOPLE . . . IS A FRAUD!
