WHO, OR WHAT, IS A 'PALESTINIAN'? A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
EDITORS NOTE; IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE ACTUAL ARTICLES, SOME OF YOU MAY FIND SOME OF THEM VERY OFFENSIVE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SERIES OF ARTICLES IS TO PROVIDE A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF HOW PALESTINIAN, AND THE OTHER KEYWORDS, HAS EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS.

Pal·es·tine: Often called "the Holy Land.". : A historical region of southwest Asia at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea and roughly coextensive with modern Israel and the West Bank. Occupied since prehistoric times, it has been ruled by Hebrews, Egyptians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Turks. A British League of Nations mandate oversaw the affairs of the area from 1920 until 1948, when Israel declared itself a separate state and the West Bank territory was occupied by Jordan. The West Bank was subsequently annexed (1950) by Jordan and occupied (1967) by Israel. In 1988 the Palestine Liberation Organization under Yasir Arafat declared its intention of forming an Arab state of Palestine, probably including the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the Arab sector of Jerusalem. The Palestinians achieved limited self-rule in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in 1993 and 1994.

1868 FEAST OF PENTECOST.But the significance of the festival does not end here, but takes a wider scope, for whilst its origin and and institution in one sense are exhibited to us in Scripture, there is another and loftier circumstance connected with its observance, which concerns not Israelites alone, but all mankind, which does not limit itself to Palestinian agriculture and a successful reaping of the harvest, but essentially regards the everlasting weal of the whole human race.

Reno Evening Gazette Reno Nevada 14 December 1882 CHANUKKAH
Wednesday evening the Jewish festival of Chanukkah was commenced in the houses of worship and residences in the larger cities. This feast, beginning with the 25th day in the 9th month (kislav) has eight days and is celebrated in commemoration of the heroic deeds of the priestly family of Hasmoneans, also called Maccabees, after the surname of their greatest hero Judah,,,who secured the freedom of their religious practices and the independence of the Palestinian Jews.

Mr Lawrence Oliphant, of literary fame, but also noted for his advocacy of Palestinian colonization, says that Baron Edmund Rothschild's pet colony cost him 50,000 (pounds). Mr Oliphants advice is “send nothing to Palestine but save and collect money for the future and its great changes- a contingency which may be more immediate than may be generally supposed.”

Freeborn County Standard Albert Lea Minnesota 20 March 1890 AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
If, as is said, and we are not yet in a position to speak of it as more than a rumor, the new codex resembles the Sinaitic not only in additional books, that are appended to it- the Epistle of Barnabus and the Shepherd of Hermas- but also in the peculiarities of text, it would seem to be almost a duplicate of the Sinaitic, both forming, perhaps, part of an edition issued for the common use of the Palestinian church.
