Palestinian News Item "The Palestinians are Arab Canaanites" Al-Ayyam - Apr. 7, 2009        “[Dr. Yunes Amr, President of the Al-Quds Open University] who authored a book entitled Jerusalem - City of Allah, has reviewed the Israeli claims concerning the history of the Jewish presence in Palestine and in Jerusalem, and has disproved them historically and linguistically, [exposing] their falsification of facts. He pointed out the inaccuracy of the widespread view that the Palestinians originated with a group of people who emigrated from the Greek [Isles] and settled in Palestine, affirming instead that the Palestinians are Arab Canaanites indigenous to this land."
