Questions We Must Ask Regarding The PALESTINE State

Politicians and interested people who feel that Palestinians are the oppressed while ignoring the terrorist acts and groups in the form of the PLO and Hamas seem to have glossed over historical facts.

IQ Al-Rassooli posited some very relevant questions which all of us should honestly answer before we conclude the position of the state of Palestine and the so-called Palestinian people.

As much as many civilizations have left marks in history including the Mayans, Egyptians, Chinese, Sumerians, Assyrians and even Israel, what did the Palestinians leave in the times of history for us to understand?

Here are more questions to ponder (for more, read here).

• When was the country of Palestine founded and by whom?

• Where did the Palestinian people originate from?

• What were Palestine's borders?

• Who were its neighbours?

• What language did the Palestinians speak?

• What writing did they use?

• What manuscripts or records did they leave whether written or engraved?

• What was their religion?

• Whom did they conquer or were conquered by?

• Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or even now, leaves no room for misunderstanding?

• Since there is no such recognized country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?

• Those who are lamenting the 'low sinking' of a 'once proud' nation, please tell us, when exactly was this proud nation brought down?
