"Meir talks about Arabs, not Palestinians.

In her mind, there were no Palestinians as a distinct nation (ethnic group), but only Arabs living in Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon (and Israel, of course). Palestinians (and Palestine) for her were only an Arab propaganda invention.

And, on that point, she was correct. After Islam was established, the Arabs sent their people into most of their known world to defeat their enemies, take their land, and spread Islam.

Spain (and much of southern Europ)e were victims, not just the Jewish people who have owned the Holy Land (aka: Palistine) for thousands of years.
