To understand how confused we are regarding the historical events of the Middle East, take a look at this. In 1945, the Arab League called for a boycott of "Palestinian products," but by the term Palestinian, they meant the Jewish industrialists and merchants living there under British mandate. Over time, the Arabs of the region appropriated the term "Palestinian" exclusively for themselves to create the image that they were not just Arabs, meaning later invaders in the region, but an ancient people with ancient rights, older than the Jews. Thus, they gained moral legitimacy to possess the land of the Jews as "older ones." They were always Arabs, meaning conquerors in the ancestral land of the Jews of the Old Testament. Every time you hear the slogan "from the river to the sea," meaning the disappearance of the State of @IsraelinGreece from the map, remember that we actually have an attempt here to deny an ancient people (the Jews) their historical rights to the land from which they originate, meaning their historical homeland. We Greeks know a bit about this, having lost many of our historical lands, but fortunately not our historical homeland. "The New York Times on December 4, 1945, page 9, published an article titled 'ARABS TO BOYCOTT PALESTINIAN GOODS' with the subtitle 'Vote Action Against Jewish Industry, Charging Tie With Zionism and Political Aims.' The article stated from Cairo that the Arab League decided to boycott products produced by Jewish businesses in the then British Mandate of Palestine, starting January 1, 1946." (translated)
