Then you should be able to answer any of the following questions:
When was the country of Palestine founded and by whom? What were its borders, capital, and major cities? What was its currency, official language, and primary religion? Who were its leaders prior to Arafat? Since there is no official country of Palestine today, what caused its demise and when did that occur? Why did Palestinians never try to become an independent country until after 1967? Why did the original PLO charter in 1964 say the West Bank belongs to Jordan and Gaza belongs to Egypt?
Finally, explain the following quotation by a senior member of the PLO:
>"The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism." - Senior PLO official Zuheir Mohsen, interviewed by James Dorsey, Trouw, March 31, 1977
