Talk:Palestine Arab Congress

Second Congress
CED (Concise Oxford Dictionary defines protest when used intransitively as make a protest against an action, proposal etc usually followed by “against” “at” “about” etc. It can also be used transitively sometimes followed by “that” and means “affirm” Thus to “protest the faith of Jesus Christ” means to affirm the truth of that faith. “To protest that Darwin’s theory of Evolution is true,” means exactly that the speaker or writer believes the theory to be valid and accurate. Protest can therefore be positive rather than negative and it seems to me to be dangerous to use a sentence like “He protested abortion” without adding the words “against or “in favour of” after the word protest. Therefore I have changed "protest" in this para to "protest against " as I think this is probably what was meant.Spinney Hill (talk) 10:02, 1 January 2021 (UTC).

Misreporting of Second Congress
"Calls for unity with Syria were dropped, since the area was now under French control; however, unity between Palestine and Syria re-emerging at a later date was not ruled out." Neither source, nor any I can find, suggests that the reason for unity with Syria was dropped was due to the French. The reason that unity with Syria was not ruled out is because the Resolutions did not mention Syria at all. Other than the first seven words, this sentence should be dropped.

 * The third congress, right? Regan says "The idea of a Greater Syria was removed from their platform although unity between Palestine and Syria re-emerging at a later date was not ruled out." so we need to remove only "since the area was now under French control". ✅ Selfstudier (talk) 09:47, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * None of the sources claims it was due to Syria being under the French. Mcdruid (talk) 02:13, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
