tony,
did one of your relatives write 'Armed Struggle and the Search for State'?
jones,
You mean professor Yezid Sayigh? I really do not know if we are related. It is possible since Sayegh (or Sayigh) is not a very common family name in Palestine/Jordan/Lebanon.
Arab violence only hurts Arabs.
And Tony, Jordan is "Palestine".

"Israel" is part of Palestine reprobate.
Jordan is "Palestine" or there's no such thing, haji-boy. 
Israel is Israel, from the river to the sea.
The quantifying of "statehood" under the rubric of "nation-states" is questionable in legitimacy - especially when it challenges indigenous existence. One cannot dismiss an entire people just by pronouncing the Hegelian "nation-state" and to hell with everything else. Definitive genocide is not a valid practice by anyone - not even the "chosen."
Apartheid by design, like Israel, does not fit into a valid mode - it should be extinguished like racist South Africa. Israel is nothing but an invalid settler state at this juncture. I find it interesting that you question the legitimacy of Jordan vs. Palestine, while at the same time embracing the colonial carte blanch (the same one that sliced the territories) of the "state" of Israel (which is merely an armed forces with a state, rather than a state with armed forces). Let me assure you of something, in a court of law with all treaties and conventions applied, you would be erased taking the current course by all written law. You only have one thing on your side - that is might makes right, and the fact that there is no rule of law but the law of rule, and thieves and murderers stick together, whether they be individuals or called "nation-states."
The Paleos aren't "indigenous". That's why they had to bring in an Egyptian named Yasser Arafat to lead them.
Maori tribes to reinforce Jewish people?
Dozens of indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand discover Judaism, study Kabbalah; one even converts to Judaism
Is Israel about to welcome new immigrants belonging to New Zealand's indigenous Polynesian people? Israel's Ambassador to Australia and New Zealand Yuval Rotem paid an unusual visit this week to the Maori community, which has recently drawn closer to Judaism and Kabbalah.
The ambassador and the embassy workers were welcomed by the community members in a Maori ceremony, which included dances, greetings in the local language, songs and the traditional "hongi" (greeting guests by pressing noses with them).
The meeting was initiated by the deputy president of Auckland's reform synagogue, a Maori man who converted to Judaism several years ago. His English name is Steve and his Hebrew name is Samson.
"I always felt close to Judaism. I believe our forefathers were originally Jewish," Samson said.
After the ceremony, the ambassador toured the Maori community institutions, which include a spiritual center, a school, houses and a library. Rotem was surprised to discover that the Maori community is drawing close to Judaism.
The community has a group of some 90 people studying Kabbalah, and every Sunday morning they meet in one of the rooms for a videoconference with the Kabbalah Center in Los Angeles, and study the Bible portion of the week together with the American students.
'We admire Israel and the Jews'
The community leader told the ambassador about the difficulties faced by the Maori tribes in New Zealand, although the community recently gained political power through significant representation in the parliament, and has started fighting for its rights
Today, one of every seven New Zealanders belongs to the Maori community.
"We believe there is a connection between the Maoris and the Jews. We admire Israel and the Jews," explained the president of the Maori community in Auckland, adding that many of the Maoris have taken an interest in Judaism and Kabbalah and want to get closer to Israel.
The Maoris said they wish to launch a communication channel for cooperation between the Maori community and the Israeli Embassy in Australia. Ambassador Rotem said he was very moved by the meeting and was particularly impressed by the Maoris' attitude towards Israel and Judaism.
The Maoris are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. They came to New Zealand from eastern Polynesia thousands of years ago. The Maori language is a Polynesian language related to the one spoken in Tahiti, Hawaii and other islands east of Samoa in the southern Pacific Ocean. The word "maori" means "normal" in the Maori language.

That is the perfect picture to represent the Palestinians.
They have gone to war with Israel and lost all attempts, since they cannot win they send suicide bombers and terrorists, and constantly whine that Israel has the audacity to defend itself or even worse, to retaliate.
Yes the whining crying picture suits them well. After all, they engage in activities which bring them nothing but misery, they preach about the impossible (destruction on Israel), and they are filled with hatred and violence while trying to get sympathy.
