This piece is written by an Israeli Arab who identifies as Palestinian (as only a minority of Israeli Arabs do), and who hates Israel AND complains that the "Arab betrayal of Palestinians has a long history" haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…
The funny thing is that the Palestinian constitution explicitly says: "The Palestinian people are a part of the Arab and Islamic nations." pcpsr.org/en/node/487
And there's also this: "Half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis"

So there are many reasons to look at the 1919 Faisal-Weizmann agreement without the seething contempt shown by @Serajeas-- it could actually have become the basis for peaceful coexistence.

@Serajeas And complaining about the fact that "the Balfour Declaration failed to mention Palestinians by name" is nonsense: it's simply due to the fact that very few of the Arabs of British Mandate Palestine considered themselves "Palestinians" at the time.

@Serajeas But I do hope @Serajeas is right when he writes:
"The Arab League "rejection" of the Trump plan is purely formalistic, declarative and insignificant."

@Serajeas Before nationalistic fervor and Islamist Jew-hatred took over 👇
@Serajeas And that's another good and relevant point: we do know for sure that there was massive Arab immigration into the area that became Israel
