Some years ago, in another community similar to this one (in structure, though definitely not in tone), I made this exact argument and was resoundingly excoriated by that liberal drones echo chamber.
a “Palestinian” national identity, a people yearning for freedom, was a liberal concoction. The so-called Palestinians, were nomads until the Jews returned to Israel and made it into something habitable and desirable.
Arab Historian Admits there is No Palestinian People
but, the truth of the matter is:
OH, and historian Abd Al-Ghani admitted This on official PA TV on November 1... in 2017... so I’m sure you’ve heard it bouncing off the walls before now, right? 🙄

One of the biggest, most stubborn and costliest untruths of our time is the notion that the jihad waged by Arabs in the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Gaza against Jews in Israel is a national struggle of an indigenous people for independence.
No matter the facts, the lie persists to the tune of billions of dollars in international aid and political prestige, which makes it increasingly difficult for anyone involved to admit that the whole thing is nothing more than a propaganda stunt.

but, the truth of the matter is:
Historian Abd Al-Ghani’s declaration on PA TV was a historic, highly newsworthy admission that ought to have made the headlines everywhere, considering the importance the issue is given by political leaders, diplomats, the media and other establishment figures all over the world.
After all, if the Arabs themselves admit that the ‘Palestinian people’ is an invented entity, should not the consequence be that the countless UN projects, billions of dollars in international aid, and the endless campaigns against Israel cease and be used for more noble purposes?
The answer is yes, but no one is paying attention.
We live in a post-factual world. Facts no longer have any currency, unlike feelings and ideological posturing. The truth has been reduced to a troublesome inconvenience and if it happens to stare you in the face, nothing could be easier than closing your eyes or simply looking away.
