LW: The term Palestinian is from the 1960s at the Earliest, although often attributed to Arafat the Egyptian in 1975 at the UN.
The Arabs displaced in the camps, funded by the UN via UNWRA became the Palestinians.
The UN for those who don't know is a well known alias of the USA.
[I'm American].
We the People of the USA weren't allies of Israel until after they won in the 1967 war.
We were prior allies of Nasser in Egypt, who played us [played Kermit Roosevelt BTW].
Nasser turned on us and caused trouble, then went hard for the Soviets.
At that point the Lady from Brooklyn, one Golda Meir was able to form alliance with the USA.
Now this is just Empire, and in our defense America didn't want it.
The point: Israel despite common misconception was not an American project.
Israel was a Zionist [Jewish Communists] and British Empire project and we inherited all the mess after we kiboshed Suez intervention in 1956 and then, and only then bought down the British Empire. Probably unintentionally but in reaction to being lied to, and the mess in Hungary. Europe has always been the primary theater and interest of the USA since WW2. Recent events via Ukraine show this truth.
If we had any project going in Palestine...by degrees and by endless funding of camps that should have been phased out in the 1950s...our project has been; The Palestinians.

Now we've tried to end this with justice.
The Palestinians won't have it.
So it ends the other way.
They're not in a position to complain.
