Are Palestinians an invented people?

There are ALWAYS peace negotiations. As in, "We'll trade one of yours for fifty of ours!"

I thought it was more like: «We'll build a new settlement on the West Bank for every missile that falls on Sderot.»

Yeah, that's another valid "peace negotiation" tactic.

But I look upon it as being no less "moral" than the British, French, Spanish, and others, establishing colonies in the New World, at the expense of the natives, or than the Americans and Canadians moving West, at the expense of the Indians (Native Americans, to be PC). Really, no less acceptable than all of the nations who colonized Africa, with little regard for those who lived there first. It's a negotiation tactic with a long history of success. Goes all the way back to Moog driving Glorg and his family from their cave that first winter.

Indians (Native Americans, to be PC).

Slightly off topic (actually wildly off topic). But I'm ethnically Indian. Native Americans...are not Indian. They're not in India, some Italian got lost and confused us. The error in terms has annoyingly persisted for hundreds of years. It wouldn't be such a big deal if I didn't have to constantly explain my background is the Taj Mahal India, not the Dances with Wolves kind.
