The shift marks the first time since Gallup began collecting this data in 2001 that members of either party have been more sympathetic to the Palestinians.The survey...

The difference between a "Palestinian" and an "Arab Palestinian" - according to the PLO

The 1968 Palestinian National Covenant (Charter) has an interesting paragraph:Article 6:The Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion will be considered Palestinians.The Palestine Ministry of Information notes that the year of the "Zionist invasion" is considered to be 1917. It does not appear that they are including descendants...

Opposition to Ramon Airport plan proves the hypocrisy of "pro-Palestinian" groups

This will make it easier for most Palestinians to travel internationally. Assuming that the passengers...
