As long as people continue to believe the idea that the Palestinians migrated from Jordan to Israel, instead of the truth

I don't know anyone who thinks the Palestinians migrated from Jordan to Israel. The fact, though, is that the Jordanian kingdom was artificially carved out of historical Palestine, which is why many people equate the Palestinians with the Jordanians.

It is also a fact that the West Bank territory claimed by the Palestinians was part of Jordan from 1948-1967 (while Gaza in that period was part of Egypt) and that during that time the Palestinians, Jordanians and Egyptians had no interest in any kind of Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza. In those days, the call remained for the destruction of Israel and for the Jews to be driven into the sea.

In 1979, Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty. At that time Israel dismantled all of its settlements in the Sinai and returned the territory to Egypt. Egypt, however, washed its hands of Gaza and the Palestinians there.

In 1994, Jordan and Israel also signed a peace treaty. Jordan, however, had already washed its hands of the West Bank and the Palestinians.
