The United States and the Palestinian People
The problem of Palestine is the homelessnes of the people of Palestine. Although definition of this problem might seem simple, it has not been so.
For since 1895 when Theodore Herzl wrote "The Jewish State", Palestine has been strife-ridden.Because in 1917 the interests of Great Britain and of Herzl's followers, the Zionists, coincided, the Palestinians have been subjected to colonisation by foreigners, exclusion from their lands, expulsion from their country and dispersal. This relative simple, straightforwardhistory has, however, been obscured by the emotions and interests of those involved, by European anti-Semitism, by imperial ambitions of various leaders.
The peoples of the Arab world have contributed to the obfuscation of the issue by their own lack of clear thiking: identifying themselves now as "Arabs," now as "Lebanese" failed to make outsiders understand the distinctions between the nationalist of one Arab country and another.
Thus the exiled people of Palestine have been inaccurately but widely referred to as the "Arab refugees"/ And "Arab refugees"they are not: they are Palestinians denied self-determination in and exiled from their homeland or living-denationalised and fearful- under enemy occupation in their own land.
