Palestinian History 101, Curriculum and Essay Question‏

And to give Sha'i Ben Tekoa, author of Phantom Nation: Inventing the "Palestinians" as the Obstacle to Peace, deserved credit, he opened his session I attended a few months ago by asking the university students in attendance how many had taken a course in "Palestinian History." Of course, no hands went up.

Here's the basic curriculum for the Palestinian History Course, which is probably the easiest course offered, if offered any place:

• date established
• early leaders, king, emperor, president, prime minister...
• capital city/cities
• major cities
• borders, old maps
• language
• religion
• currency
• summarize its rise and fall
• Please answer: Why wasn't there a rebellion against the Hashemite invaders/occupiers in 1948-1967?
