Palestinians mark 40 years of occupation of what???

Anyone living in British Mandate Palestine was a "Palestinian" including every Jew and Christian, so technically there are thousands of Jewish and Christian "Palestinians" living in Israel today. Check out Joan Peters book "From Time Immemorial" if you want an eye-opening history of the region. She went into the project as a confirmed pro-Arabist but the facts she faced in her research turned her around 180 degrees. Also, as a "minor" technicality, the re-birth of Israel after two thousand years of exile and dispersal has no precedent in recorded history, and should be considered as the liberation of the Jewish homeland...making the Arabs the "occupiers". The left-wingers who are so hot on "liberation" should be supporting Israel, not the Arab occupation regimes. But then the Arabs have the oil and the trendy lefties in New York and Paris need that for their Beemers... :-)
