"Palestine was a region."

That more or less goes along with what I said.

The second part is of course complete and utter twaddle -

"The Palestinians are the people who belong to that region."

Now CarolC did you mean - "The Palestinians are the people who live in that region". Because if she meant what she wrote in her post, I have the following question for her - Who decides who belongs and who doesn't - take great care quite a number of your fellow countrymen will be rather anxious about how this is determined, especially if 'belonging' to a place is negated by forefathers having taken the land by force from indigenous races or earlier settlers.
