Helen Thomas Retires Effective Immediately

You touched on a couple of points I made, but did not answer each point adequately.
Again, many empires ruled that territory, but you did not point out when and where there was a Kingdom of Palestine, like Israel. It just appears that the Palestinians were always ruled by various empires, like the Bedouins. That doesn't make them an independent nation historically.

There was no Kingdom of Palestine as far as I know.

That's not relevant is it? You can hardly disqualify a people from their attachment to the land because they didn't rule an ancient kingdom.

I didn't think that required clarification.
