Israel's Minister of Finance Smotrich: I am a Palestinian so is my family of 13 generations!

Good point! Bravo! Well taken!

The long-time obsession of so many Western intellectuals with Arabs as Palestinians is quite absurd!

"... “There is no such thing as Palestinians because there is no such thing as a Palestinian people,” said Smotrich who heads the Religious Zionist Party.
“Who are the [real] Palestinians? I am Palestinian,” he said. ...
He recalled his family’s 13 generations in the Land of Israel, mentioning his grandmother who had been born in the northern border town of Metula over a hundred years ago before the creation of the state.
His ancestors and his grandmother were “Palestinians,” he said. ..."

Israel's Smotrich: There is no such thing as a Palestinian people - Israel News - The Jerusalem Post Smotrich is among a number of far-right politicians who do not accept the adoption by regional Arabs of the term Palestinian to describe themselves.
