"There is no such country [as Palestine]! `Palestine` is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria." - Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, a local Arab leader, to the Peel Commission, 1937 http://www.peacefaq.com/palestine.html The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations submitted this in a statement to the General Assembly in May 1947
"It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria." - Ahmed Shuqeiri, later the chairman of the PLO, to the UN Security Council http://www.peacefaq.com/palestine.html I do not need to say more, the Arabs said enough themselves. |
