1. Arabs in Mandate Palestine prefered calling themselves
"Southern Syrians" rather than "palestinians", which until they decided to embrace the name in the 60's, they found insulting. Maybe together with the influx of refugees from Syria, the "Southern Syrians" or "palestinians" or whatever they enjoy calling themselves living in Jordan/palestine, can finally wrest their country away from the phony Hashemite bedouin king.
