Talk:Palestinian Arab

Just about everyone in the world refers to the Palestinian Arabs by the short form Palestinians.

It's not always clear whether this is meant to endorse the POV that the Arab Palestinians are the true Palestinians, and that others such as Israeli Palestinians are not. This relates to the ongoing battles over sovereignty in the region of Palestine. -- Uncle Ed (talk) 20:41, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

Some sources define "Palestinian Arab" as "an Arab of Palestine". I'll google for those sources.

Some sources also say that the term "Palestinian Arab" is fraught with political overtones. I'll look for those, too.

I read all this recently, either in WP talk pages or on googled web pages. But I need to find and cite the references now. You can help, if you want. :-) --Uncle Ed 18:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
