The indigenous people of what is referred to as Palestine is the Jews, and there is abundant historical material, artefacts and written material, supporting this. Arabs moved into the area from neighbouring countries, however there was never an Arab state of Palestine. Since ancient Roman times the Jews of the area were referred to as Palestinians. When the British took over the area after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1920, they referred to all people living there as Palestinians, however the term was generally used for the Jews. In the 1960s, after the Six Day War, in a brilliant marketing move, the Arabs who had moved into the area appropriated the name for themselves, and this usage was widely adopted, so that people now have the impression that these are in fact the natives of the land. Thus, history has been widely distorted to such an extent that the natives are looked upon as the colonisers and the colonisers looked upon as dispossessed people. This is behind much of the hate currently occurring against Israel in Western countries.
