How come Palestine and Palestinians cannot be found in older history books?

Most history books that write about anytime before the 1960s, do not mention Palestine. That is because Palestine is a recent thing. Coca Cola, Pepsi, even Mountain Dew is older than the so called state of "Palestine". If you dont believe me then check for yourself, you wont find anything in history books written about pre 1960s the mention Palestine.

"Palestinians" are mere illegal aliens living in Israel.

Answer
Because the incredibly ancient, unbelievingly noble and incredulously wise "palestinian people" never existed. It´s a myth, a fake, a hoax arabs invented together with the Soviet KGB in the late sixties, after Israel reduced the arab armies to ashes in the Six Days war. And since then these "Palestinosaurus" from the comic cartoon have been trying to convince the world that they are something real - not too successfully, though.

Thanks, I already did that. I just sent an e-mail--maybe I should compose a formal letter.

Answer
Your best bet would be to contact Random House directly for information. Pax - C
