Palestinian passports

[ExGingi]

Didn't want to interrupt the Kalman Yeager thread (I need time to formulate my controversial post there), but in the meantime let's start a quick survey of how many people you personally know (extended family) that arrived at these shores with Palestinian passports?

My great uncle definitely came here with a Palestinian passport. DW's grandparents and two uncles also came with Palestinian passports (uncles were actually listed as being born there), not sure about her aunt (I'm sure her descendants on DDF could clarify).

I did not expect this from you!

Blame SwiftKey. (Along with highly distracted writing).

Thanks for bringing to my attention while I could still fix.

That's what I do for myself. Not that easy to do that for you.

Palestinian passports or passports that say they were born in Palestine?

British travel documents. Not country of Palestine. Et tu?

Did you see the word "country" mentioned in my post?

Boo Sykes/Picot.

To all those that voted "Palestine Never Existed" in the poll, here are some images found online. None of the following are related to me.

Note "Government of Palestine" and the stamp on the passport that says "Palestinian Citizen".

I was about to choose 0 in the poll, but I realize that "relatives" is, well, relative...

I chose 0 then found out I was wrong, I had two relatives, found out after checking.

You are correct. British travel documents from Mandatory Palestine issued by...His Majesty's High Commissioner pursuant to Palestinian Citizenship Orders of 1925 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Citizenship_Order,_1925

Simply amazing results so far!

Palestine was simply a region, can you name a Palestinian king, curency, or language? There for kalman yeger was very right that there is no Palestinian nationality

Currency=Palestinian Pound   Language=Arabic as in most Arab countries, dialect closest to Syria and Lebanon

Omg do you consider British Mandate of Palestine's curency as Palestinian curency?
Is Arabic a Palestinian language? There was never a Palestinian nation the same way there is no brooklyn nation so if brooklyn will become part of new jersey it's just a different government so instead of the British you have the Israelis it's not like Germany occupied poland etc.

Is Arabic a Syrian,Lebanese or Egyptian language? About currency, google it, the Palestinian pound existed , yes it was under the mandate but it did exist, and it was titled Palestine Currency Board. As to an independent country , it was never independent, so yes, no king or president.

Kalman Yeger has his own thread on DDF, that's a separate discussion than what's going on here. How many people do you know that came to these shores with a Palestinian passport? That is simply a question of fact.
