My latest column analyzes political implications of new book tracing the history of traditional Palestinian costume - http://t.co/EcQ7fPa
@ This fool @elderofziyon complains before 20s no one called themselves “Palestinians." Who called themselves “Israelis” before 40s? Moronic!
@Ibishblog You are claiming a centuries-old, specifically Palestinian culture in your article. Are you now backtracking and saying its Arab?
@elderofziyon Are you deliberately obtuse? Jewish & Arab identities old, but the Israeli & Palestinian identity are both new. At same time.
@Ibishblog Apparently , you never heard of the Jewish people.Now pointlessly engaging with Jewish racists, obscurantists & sophists. Frozen in non-thought, trapped in circular, solipsistic delusions.
@elderofziyon You completely misread my article, which clearly says contemporary Palestinian national identity is 20th century phenomenon.
@elderofziyon In fact, I can only think you didn't really read my article carefully at all, or are incapable of reading nuances carefully.
@elderofziyon There is an ancient & unbroken Palestinian history & culture, but like Israel's its particularist nationalism is 20th century.
@Ibishblog Wow.Let's keep it simple:Do you claim there is an"ancient and unbroken Palestinian history and culture"? Not Arab - Palestinian.
He refuses to understand this simple, obvious point because he is allergic to the idea that Palestinians have a deep history and culture.
Trying to explain to extremely stupid man that both Israeli & Palestinian identities are 20th century constructs that draw on ancient roots.
@elderofziyon Yes, by pulling that sentence out of it's much broader, more nuanced context, you are misreading everything. Deliberately so.
@Ibishblog How did I misread "an ancient and unbroken Palestinian history and culture really does exist."? Is 20th century "ancient"?
@jeffemanuel But there's no aspect of any such thing in my article whatsoever. The hysterical reaction is anti-Palestinian, not pro-Jewish.
They seem to think Palestinian identity is new & fake but the Israeli one ancient & authentic though both contemporary, born simultaneously.
It's really amazing that the mere mention of deep Palestinian history, culture and roots causes such extreme hysteria among some Zionists.
Ongoing still.

@Ibishblog btw, Pal. Authority denies all the time and you support their denial campaign, no?
@ymedad No. I have always acknowledged the deep history and attachment of the Jewish people to the land. Read my work. Read something!
and more of me
@Ibishblog i will but wrong that Jewish nationality new development. that's a denial campaign. Jews & Land of Israel inseparable 3000 yearsand Ibish:
@Ibishblog well, stupid or not (do you have to get abusive?) it was head of Syrian Palestinian delegation to Harding 1921.
@Ibishblog good. that's one. did you answer my history question of who said?
@Ibishblog btw, Pal. Authority denies all the time and you support their denial campaign, no?
@Ibishblog Patheitc? I even read ZFoster http://t.co/rEXfWvk@Ibishblog
@Ibishblog even 8 yr olds know Jews/Hebrews/Israelites were indigenous population there despite foreign invasions including Arabs in 638
@Ibishblog amazed too that Arabs claim a separate distinct Pal. national identity when even they didn't at least until early 1920s
@Ibishblog really? who wrote to US President: "Syria and Palestine should form one country because inhabited by same Arab race"?
@ibishblog seems there's a contradiction there or u'r covering all bases.
@ibishblog "folkloric Pal. costumes r distinctive from other Levantine ones" yet "strongly connected 2 other Levantine traditional dress"
Ibishblog Hussein Ibish^
Extreme Zionists going NUTS over the assertion of a deeply-rooted if modern Palestinian national identity. This is insane really. Psychotic.
@ymedad Well, see my article explaining the history of those sentiments please - http://t.co/UylOzT9
@ymedad Makes no difference. The history is quite clear. I can find you any number of Jewish or Israeli quotes too. Stupid game. Grow up!
Ibishblog Hussein Ibish @JedGalilee @ymedad Just SO absurd. Palestinians don't forfeit national rights, identity because of participation in broader Arab identity.
@jonahbalfour In some ways, it was. All 20th century Arab and other new nationalisms, including the Israeli one, shaped by their contexts.
@RhymesWithRight @ymedad See Pres. Abbas' interview w/ Israeli TV last year where he acknowledged Jewish history and attachment to the land.
@ymedad No. I have always acknowledged the deep history and attachment of the Jewish people to the land. Read my work. Read something!
