What time period? They are probably descendants of Judean, Samaritan, Idumaean, Ituraean, and Galilean and much more recently Arabs/Muslims... Still don't understand what point you are trying to make...

Back to the topic...

If he is old enough, he may find Ben Hecht's "Perfidy" to be an interesting and enlightening read

meshugener · « **Reply #30 on:** March 05, 2012, 12:28:51 AM »

Just trying to explain that they are Palestinians, not "calling themselves Palestinians". Weather they have a right in our holy land is a different question. Period. Don't explode with extremism, its not cute, be realistic.

He should check this out if he has internet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Israel and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine he can then see the references and take out of a library the ones that seem interesting. That is what I do when I look into a subject I don't know much about...

Please read above quoted articles and here http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_early_palestine_name_origin.php sorry to say you are completely wrong therefore there is no reason to argue.

+1

(If you're interested in other accounts of that story, read the Transfer Agreeement and Min Hameitzar, in English: the unheeded cry.)

As well as Leon Uris' historical novel, Exodus.
Then there's Startup Nation, which is a really cool book on Israel, but not quite historical.
By Way of Deception was an interesting book about the mossad.
The Liberty Incident, a book about the alleged sunk an Israeli ship intentionally during the 6-day war.

None of these are broad overviews of Israeli history, but they're all great books.

Menachem Begin's autobiography "The Revolt" is a must read

the term palestinian would indicate a right to this land, as this land was called palestine pre 1948. do yourself a favor and read 'from time immemorial' where will you find out the true history of that people, how they came to reside in our land and how they magically became a 'people', with a supposed connection to the land to boot

(trans) Jordanian arabs? Plishtim were not Arabs.

njmacman · « **Reply #36 on:** March 05, 2012, 10:38:00 AM »

Plishtim were from Crete in the Mediterranean.

Yehuda Avners 'Prime Minister' is one of my all time best books, never mind Israel. I know a few people who read it and all are reading it again and again.
