“Palestinians have been in the land for more than 15,000 years” - senior Fatah commentator

The Fatah commentator fabricates a 15,000-year Palestinian history, anachronistically projecting a modern national identity into prehistory to erase the Jewish people's documented ancient connection to the land.

Political commentator Dr. Muhammad Awdah: "The Palestinians, according to the minimum documented about them – have been in the land for more than 15,000 years. This is what is documented. Of course, they are much more ancient than that."
