And in the beginning ...

Ocean Guy has a great post about Palestinian war efforts in the media department. Going back to 1970, he quotes a terrorist in conversation with an American:

'We are Palestinian. From Palestine. You know, the country that is now occupied by Israel.'

But he didn't know. He had obviously never heard of Palestine.

We will just have to go on hijacking until every American in the world has heard of it, I thought.

And so they did. And here we are.

I would bet that "Palestinian" now rates above Coca-Cola in name recognition, even internationally. Whaddya think?

Probably...Biafra doesn't exist either, yet no one discusses that non-existant country at their dinner tables at all.
