Does the "reign in the influence of Israel" movement need a Tucker Carlson to be credible?

Don't be so naive. There is so much more to the poverty of Gaza than the criminal thugs that control their government. Their economic isolation from the rest of the world is not Hamas' choice. It is Netanyahu's.

It is an Israeli rhetorical trick to "verbally" claim what is not theirs.

what?

Really? Who here is being naive and ignorant? This entire situation can be blamed squarely on Hamas. When Israel controlled Gaza it was a paradise! Given to the Arabs it became a sewer of terrorism. Their economic situation? Israel does not control their economic situation. The PLO and Hamas has stolen millions in aid to further their terrorist goals. The trick is the Arabs calling themselves "palestinians". Even Arafat was from Egypt...give me a break...you have no leg to stand on...go peddle your historical and present revisionism to someone who does not know better...

LOL u do know that Jews were called Palestinians before the Arabs co-opted it. Truth is not propaganda...

Arabs living in what Jews call the Land of Israel, including Judea and Samaria, call themselves “Palestinians” after “Palestine,” the non-Jewish term for the region. Arabs did not do so until quite recently, but nonetheless, many Arabs in the region and their sympathizers have co-opted the words “Palestine” and “Palestinian” to give their national movement a sense of longevity, credibility and ownership. The word “Palestine” is not Arab or Middle Eastern in origin. It dates back over1,900 years and is derived from a people who were not native to the region: The Philistines, a people from the Aegean Sea who were closely related to the ancient Greeks. They lived on the coast of what is now the Gaza Strip and Israel, but had disappeared by the 6th century. The name associated with them, however, did not die out. The Romans, in a fit of spite, reapplied the term “Palestine” to the Land of Israel centuries later, after they defeated a Judean uprising in 135 AD. In effect, the Romans sought to erase the association between the Land of Israel and the Jewish people. Many Arabs in British Mandatory Palestine considered themselves part of Greater Syria rather than “Palestinians.” In 1937, a local Arab leader told the Palestine Royal Commission, “There is no such country as Palestine. Palestine is a term the Zionists invented! Our country for centuries was part of Syria.” Arab historian Philip Hitti echoed this sentiment shortly before Israel declared independence, saying, “There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not.” The watershed moment for the “Palestinian” national movement came after the 1967 Six-Day War, when Israel won control of Judea and Samaria from Jordan. The words of author Walid Shoebat of Bethlehem sum up the profound shift in local Arabs’ identity: “On June 4, 1967, I was a Jordanian, and overnight I became a Palestinian.” Palestinians trace their origins to prominent tribes in Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Egypt. Yasser Arafat was born in Egypt. Even the Kanaan family in Nablus (Shechem) traces its ancestry to Syria. While the Arabs of the region are free to call themselves whatever they want, they are not free to hijack the 3,000-year history of the Holy Land for themselves. In the end, the name “Palestine” represents the Jews’ original dispossession of their homeland 1,900 years ago...
