That's one thing I constantly point out to those who back a
"Palestinian homeland". Before the Zionists arrived in the 19th
century it was a gawdawful useless wasteland - read Mark Twain's
description of it in IIRC _Innocents Abroad_...

Palestine was never a national entity, just a geographical one, most
everyone who lived described themselvs as "Arab", "Christian",
"Jewish"...the "Palestinian" moniker as it's commonly used today is
simply a propaganda term cooked up by Yasser Arafat & Co. after the
1967 War. There is not and there has never been any sort of
indigenous "Palestinian" culture or national identity - let alone a
Palestinian people. Those who proclaim themselves as "Palestinian"
are just a bunch of lazy shiftless refugees, they have a "homeland" -
in Jordan.
