Three weeks ago, Rashid Khalidi, who holds the Edward Said chair in Arab studies at my alma mater, Columbia University, wrote an article in the Boston Globe in which he decried the history of the 'Palestinians' having "disappeared under the powerful impact of the painful and amply recounted story of the catastrophic fate of the Jews of Europe in the 20th century." In other words, according to Khalidi, the fact that there is no 'Palestinian' history is the Jews' fault. At The American Thinker, Rachel Neuwirth has a more plausible explanation...

Before 1967, the word "Palestinian" was generally used in the West to refer to the Jewish inhabitants of the land of Israel.
