Oando faithfuls no dey ever gree even for other stocks

The mega-wealthy people that ditched those of us in the Oando club and went for Eterna, we know all of you!
Keep enjoying your time with Eterna; our time will also come.

DeepSight:
Your last line is familiar. You and others will simply accuse anyone who questions Israel of anti-semitism. That is a cheap tactic.

No, the original native name is Canaan. And it was not Jewish land.

So, let us stop calling the place West Bank or (so called Palestine), and let's discuss only Canaan, and let us see how far you can go on it!

DeepSight:
What Palestinians are enjoying in the West Bank? It looks like you dont know whats going on there. That is a FULL APARTHEID enclave where Palestinians are not allowed to move around and all useful land is seized for illegal Israeli settlements.

The original name for West Bank is Judea and Samaria, as documented in history. The name West Bank should even tell you that it is not an original name. It actually means West Bank (of River Jordan) which is only descriptive. But the original native name of the place is Judea and Samaria, and part of the land of Israel before the land was conquered by the Romans and later the Ottoman empire!. That is how the Arabs came to dominate the land and now want to claim it for themselves for ever. The land fell under the administrative control of Jordan after sometime. Israel captured the land from Jordan in 1967 war. Jordan has accepted and signed a peace accord with Israel.
If the people (so called Palestinians) living in the West Bank (as part of Jordan) did not ask for a separate state when they were under (part of) Jordan, why are they now asking for a separate state after Israel captured the land in a war that was initiated by the same Arabs who wanted to destroy and obliterate Israel from the surface of the earth?
It tells you that all their noise is because is due the hatred for Israel and the Jews

DeepSight:
My dear, go and look at your posts and see if you didnt start the insults.
Now, what conquest did Israel do to win the land, please remind me.

Be careful not to mention what the USA or Britain did.
I said Israel.

Maybe you might also wish to remind me where Abraham came from. Was it not Ur of the Chaldeans in Iraq?

You may also wish to say what people were occupying Canaan when the Jews came there from Egypt.

Israel captured the lands when it defeated the Arab nations after they waged war to destroy Israel.

The West Bank (which the Palestinians are claiming) is originally called Judea and Samaria, and was part of land of Israel before it was conquered during the Roman and later Ottoman kingdoms. Along the line, it fell under Jordan's administrative control. Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 war, but Jordan is not making any troubles with Israel and has a peace accord with Israel because Jordan itself knows that the land originally belongs to Israel.
West Bank was never a separate independent country when Israel captured it from Jordan.
So why are Palestinians in West Bank now asking for a separate state which they never asked for when they were part of Jordan? It all boils down to hatred for Israel and the Jews

DeLaRue:
Interesting.

One thing about this President is that he is BOLD

He goes where no previous leader dared to go.

1. Fuel Subsidy - removed. GEJ folded at the first sign of protest at Ojota.

2. FCT minister - gave it a Southerner

3. Student loan scheme - in the works

4. Coastal road - ongoing

And so on..

But this horrible 0.5 or 0.005% tax on bank transfer his government wants to introduce is too much. We are hearing too of Telecom tax. There's the dreaded Band A electricity palaver on ground.

Excessive taxes are suffocating the people and the economy.

That is what you get when you describe his foolish decisions as being ''bold''.
The coastal road is a corruption-laden project that is only meant to oil Tinubu's pocket and that of his business associates, the Chagoury brothers

Ibrahim8358:
Togolese loves Nigerians and Anago is used to refer to the Yoruba's, its not an abusive word. Nigerians are diabolical too. Togolese are friendly and very accomodative angry

There are so many Nigerians doing business in Togo and its not a must you learn to speak French before you will gain their trust

Togolese and Ghanaians used ''Anago'' to refer to Nigerians, who were mainly Yoruba people that were living in Togo and Ghana long before their independence e.g. in the early 1900s.
Most of their elders still call Nigerians ''Anago'' till date; it is only recently that they realized that there are other tribes from Nigeria apart from Yoruba people.

Amidst controversial N140 billion purchase, NNPC halts takeover of OVH

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has said it is unable to complete the acquisition of OVH Energy Marketing Limited‘s downstream assets.

The declaration is contained in a letter dated 17 January, addressed to the chief executive of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and signed by the managing director of NNPC Retail Limited, Huub Stokman.

The letter is titled, ‘Notification of inability to complete OVH Energy Marketing Limited terminal, plants and depot takeover and intent to apply for operating licenses’.

The NNPC Ltd had in its latest financial statements said it paid cash amounting to $325.09 million (N140.559 billion) for the acquisition of Oando-branded retail stations and a reception jetty in Apapa, among other facilities.

However, in its letter, the NNPC Ltd said it has become evident that it cannot complete the merger deal.

The company said it intends to apply for operating licenses for the facilities under OVH Energy Marketing Limited.

“We appreciate the ongoing collaboration and support from the National Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) in facilitating the acquisition of OVH Energy Marketing Limited.

Background

The NNPC Ltd had in October 2022, announced the acquisition of OVH Energy Marketing Limited’s downstream assets. By this acquisition, OVH Energy would be merged with NNPC Retail, a subsidiary of NNPC Ltd.

The assets acquired from the company, which operates Oando filling stations, also include a reception jetty with 240,000 metric tonnes monthly capacity and eight liquefied petroleum gas plants, three lube blending plants, three aviation depots, and 12 warehouses.

But in June 2023, PREMIUM TIMES’ investigation on the acquisition exposed the secret deals and the complicated ownership structure that left managerial control of NNPC Retail in the hands of OVH Energy Marketing.

The report also exposed how OVH Energy Marketing only had about 94 stations and how over 100 stations were leased.

In addition, the report highlighted how Mr Stokman, an expatriate and former Chief Executive Officer of OVH Energy, emerged as the new Managing Director of NNPC Retail, a development that further compounded the structure of NNPC Retail.

NNPC is unserious and is the entity that would lose more if this deal is truncated!

Israel don fk up this time. They're now seen as the aggressor and not defending themselves. This is election year for Biden and he wouldn't want to be seen as a war protagonist.

Several people and nations are currently siding with people of Palestine. There's something about human emotions, it's not stable and just few tick and tweak will change it completely

Election year for Biden, and so what the Bleep?
The destiny and sovereignty of Israel is more important than the 8 year-rule electoral ambition of a politician!

AuschwitzPrefec:
My post proves that the reason Palestine of today is being dragged by the Muslim world stems from the foolishness of the Jews who aligned with the Muslims to invade and conquer Jerusalem over a thousand years ago

Without the Jews providing intel and money to fund the invasion, Palestine would have remained both Muslim and Jewish free.

Even if they chase all Palestinians away both Muslim and Christians, let me see how they will demolish the Al Qasa mosque that Muslims consider as the most sacred site in their religion when it comes to their own Muslim apocalypse prophecy.

Wahala just dey start for your Jewish masters.

The fact still stands that from your story, the Jews own the land! That is the main bone of contention in all these discussions!
Israel has not destroyed the Al Aqsa mosque because it has a tourist site and also generates revenue for the government.
If any serious war should break out between Israel and the Arabs, don't be surprised to see the Al Aqsa mosque destroyed. Some hardliners in Israel have already demanded for the destruction many yearsago.

AuschwitzPrefec:
Ignoramus let me now school you.

The Muslim conquest of Palestine which back then was filled with Christians happened through the connivance of the Jews who sponsored the Saladin's invasion and provided intel to the Muslim invaders.

Jews fought side by side with the Muslims against Christians and after they took the city of Jerusalem , the Jews paid a hefty ransom to the Muslims to have all Christians handed to them.

The Jews then went about to slaughter in the most barbaric manner all Christian captives which numbered around 70,000.

When the Muslims found out about this, Saladin revoked all agreements he had with the Jews and banished them from Jerusalem.

The Muslim army will then build the Al Qasa mosque on the site of the second Temple . The site was originally agreed by both parties prior to the invasion to be handed to the Jews to rebuild their third Temple but following the slaughter of Christian captives, Saladin revoked his agreement and banished the Jews.

Not one single Christian church was pulled down by the Muslims.

Instead word got round to Europe that Jews had sided with the Muslims and had slaughtered Christians in Palestine.
A massive pogrom broke out in Europe against the Jews.

The Pope will then raise an army to retake Jerusalem and Palestine. This is the origins of the first crusade.

You see , the more Jews attempt rubbish, the more they dig their graves.


The Muslim population in Palestine today and the presence of the Al Qasa mosque on the mount, are all giving Jews headache today and it was caused by them trying to undo heaven's decree on banishing them from the land.

Devil go do God work without him knowing.

Your story still proves that the Jews originally owned the land of Israel!

StOla:
How did God grant them a return to a land they committed genocide to occupy forcefully before, and that had since been occupied by Arabs for over a thousand years?

What was to happen the current Arab occupiers?

The current Arab occupiers are free to go back to where they came from, or accept the sovereignty of Israel over the land. Full stop!

I don't understand why this government is behaving so foolishly! Nigeria will pay dearly for this foolishness as regards Niger Republic!
For those who may not know, there is a special arrangement/agreement between Nigeria and Niger Republic on river Niger. Nigeria pleaded with Niger Republic not to dam the river and allow it to flow through Nigeria, and Nigeria will use it to generate electricity and give Niger Republic a dedicated supply! That is why river Niger was not damned by Niger Republic.
Now, because of Tinubus' recklessness, Niger Republic has started constructing a dam on River Niger, and once completed, the dam will cut out the flow of the river to Nigeria which means that Kainji dam will longer have the requisite volume of water to generate electricity for Nigeria! There is disaster ahead for Nigeria!

How many times has the IDF ordered civilians to leave one spot only to go and bomb them on their way out?

Terrible liars!
It was the IDF that told the people to move to Rafah for safety during the early days of the war.
So why haven't the the IDF bombed all the people in Rafah before now?.
This shows that you are telling lies! Israel has shown great maturity by always alerting and advising the people to move away whenever they want to move into a place for military action. No country has ever done this; not UK, not US; not Russia!

There have been Israeli citizens living on their land since time immemorial, even after their land was attacked several times by various kingdoms/empires and many of them went into exile. Their land is their land

The desperation about this project is questionable

Exactly!
Tinubu is desperately rushing to give the contract to his cronies Chagoury brothers who are known to be of dubious character! Hitech does not have the capacity, technical know how and pedigree to do this kind of job. Julius Berger should have been given the contract but there was no tender at all and Hitech was awarded this job.
What at all is the pressing need for this project when there is no reliable electricity nor security in the country for the citizens to be more productive?
It is all about siphoning enough money and kick-backs for Tinubu to further entrench his corrupt influence in all spheres of the country's economy as preparation for 2027 election and beyond

Raider76:
What actually is the expressed position of Oando as a company in the case? Are they opponents or proponents of delisting?

Oando is believed to be hiding behind the proponents and pretending as if the proposal to delist did not emanate from them, but from the 14 minority shareholders who are the main proponents.
So in law, Oando would be required to respond and indicate if they are willing to accept the request of the proponents or not. Oando responded and expressed their willingness to grant the wish of the 14 minority shareholders.
But most people suspect that the 14 minority shareholders are a disguise and actually doing the bidding of Oando management. Hence some other minority shareholders decided to join in the suit to oppose the 14 minority shareholders and told the court that the proponents were never mandated by all shareholders to ask for the delisting and do they do not have any written resolution of the shareholders to delist the shares.

Any way the case goes, Oando management can always pretend and say that they are not the ones that took the case to court, but only had to respond to the proposal as requested by the court.

Choiceguy:
Anything that makes the judge to rule against the application to join in the suit, then I will believe that Oando is delisting.

The judge had already accepted the application to join in the suit on Oando's proposed delisting; that is why the other party was allowed to file their case and also made presentation in court as part of the proceedings in the case!
What will be delivered on June 24 is the court ruling, which will take into consideration the presentations and arguments of both the proponents and opponents of the proposed delisting!

Yes. However, this is not it's make in the QUR'AN. The name of the land in the Quran is called Al-Ard Al-Muqaddasah الأرض المقدسة, which simply means 'Holy Land. It is the British that changed the original Arabic names. Jerusalem in the Quran is Quds. The building called Dome of the Rock is a mosque. The famous Dome you see on your screen everyday. It is in a compound. The entire compound consist of 3 mosques. The major mosques amongst the 3 is masjid Aqsa. There is nothing like Jewish temple there historically.

The entire area is called Aqsa compound. So the entire area known as Israel today is historically Al-Ard Al-Muqaddasah(Holy Land). The center of Holy Land is Aqsa compound which houses 3 mosques. The name of the holy city is Quds(Jerusalem). So if they called it Palestine today doesn't change it's historic essence. They changed it's name in order to divert attention of people like you.

In the screenshot below, the first is Palestine in your Bible. The second is Dome Of Rock. Third is the makes of the areas of Holy Land.

Isræl on the other hand is not it's name. Israel is nickname of Jacob. If you hear "children of Israel", it doesn't mean the land of Israel. It means children of Jacob. So are these zionists that are currently occupying Palestine children of Jacob?.

You must be hallucinating! Between the Bible and the Quran, which one came first and is older? The Bible is several hundreds of years older than the Quran!
The original names of the places are in Hebrew. The original name for Jerusalem is Jerusalem, not Al-Quds!
Even Solomon built the Temple Mount hundreds of years before the Arabs came and started calling the same place Al-Asqa Mosque.
Islam came to Jerusalem after more than 500 years of Judaism and Christianity, so you are telling lies! It is the Muslims that decided to change the names from Hebrew to Arabic as part of the plan to take over the land of Israel!

Why is US always carrying Israel Matter for head

It is because the Jews play very critical roles and the most influential in critical sectors of the US economy ..... business, politics, science and technology, military intelligence and hardware etc.
The top echelons in US are not fools; they know who is important and useful to them!

WriterNig:
This is the same hypocrites that some of you here are supporting. Smh

This same US was trying to force the ICC to arrest President Putin even though the civilian casualties in Ukraine for 2 years is not even up to a quarter of the number of Palestinians killed by Israel.

Israel has killed over 35,000 Palestinian citizens, 12,000 of them are children.

While in the 2 years war in Ukraine, 558 civilians have died.

The US killed millions of people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Syria, Vietnam.

The US also threatened to invade & destroy (ICC) The Hague, Netherlands if they ever issue arrest warrants for American war criminals like Obama, Bill Clinton etc

How do you think? Did anyone attack Russia before Putin waged war?
Do you expect any serious country to keep calm and be docile after a terrorist Hamas slaughtered over 1,000 citizens in cold blood!
It would be foolish of the ICC to issue arrest warrant for Netanyahu while Hamas is left free! Nonsense!

You are a very intelligent, but cunningly interesting fellow.
Recall that you had refused to acknowledge the reality and truth about Biblical characters like David, Jacob (Israel), Joshua, etc. that ruled in Israel, describing the Bible's account of their existence as questionable. You refused to align yourself to/with any Biblical account about the land of Israel, because it obviously works against your opinion and theory!

Yet, you are sending/uploading a video that is full of references to Biblical accounts of the land of Israel.

You see, the truth is, you cannot discuss the full history of the land of Israel without recourse to the Bible, unless you want to be telling and believing lies.
There is no single mention of Palestine in the Bible or Quran, while places like Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Syria were mentioned! So how could a ''Palestine'' that never existed could be older and more authentic than Israel that existed with other places?

Krismas:

1. i deal only on the truth. i dont do bullshit.
2. indeed egypt is about 8thousand years old, and have been a world power at sometime its history. same thing with syria. lebanon and jordan on ur list are rubbish. the problem here is that u seem not to understand how nations are formed?
3. ofcourse Hadrian changed Judaeans to Palestine. so Palestinians are Judaeans. its same thing
4. the hasmonean kings were all priests of the Judaic religion. who fought seleucid to carve out the hasmonean kingdom from syria
5. israel was never a country on the world stage. even when the romans were in palestine, they ruled from syria. same with the greeks. thats how local palestine was back then. a village. not known to anyone in this world. take for example, the town of Koma in the north, that was discovered in 1986! its now part of adamawa state. those koma people may have had great kings in their long history and may have been a great country back in antiquity. but they have never featured on any world map, they cant be said to have ever been a country. the biblical israel is just like koma or even less.
6. the Judaeans and Levites may certainly be names taken out of the religious systems of the peoples of the area. names from their history, religion or devotion.
7. indeed the tribe of Judah and Levi. are most likely villages or patriarchs of the clans of the people in the area. thats not the issue. the fact is they are not big or head turning on the world stage. your interest in their names, only stern from religious persuasion. these names have assumed a cult followership. thats why u find it so difficult to understand why i seem not moved by the names
am not a member of the Abrahamic religions. so, i ask u, can u consider my village as a country? we had strong kings once too, we had proud deities also. before the white man came and forced us into Nigeria. everything u can say about israel, u can also say about my village.
is my village a country before 1960 then?

Your village may not be an independent country; But that is YOUR LAND! And that your land can be older that the country as a State
Yoruba tribe has a land mass with their history and king(s), and that Yoruba Land is older than Nigeria (as a State). The Yoruba land can still become a separate State in the future.

Hausa tribe has a land mass with their history and king(s), and that Hausa Land is older than Nigeria (as a State). The Hausa Land can become a separate State in the future.

Ashanti people has a land mass with their history and king(s), and that Ashanti Land is older than Ghana (as a State). The Ashanti Land can become a separate State in the future.

Igbo people have a land mass with their history and chiefs/kings, and that Igbo Land is older than Nigeria (as a State). The Igbo Land can become a separate State in future.

,...and the list goes on and on.

Similarly, the Land of Israel (comprising the different tribes e.g. Levite, Judah, etc. with their history and kings) is thousands of years older the State of Israel (formed 1948).

Do not confuse the two.

Krismas:

1. Ur point is pointless. Israel has never been a part of Palestine until 1948
2. the Judaeans of Palestine did not call their kingdom Israel. they called it the Hasmonean kingdom and even after the romans defeated the hasmonean Levite king in a 4yr war ending in 63BCE to take over Palestine, Herod the great lobbied the Roman senate to name him the king of Judaeans, not Israel. Making Palestine the kingdom of Judaeans.
3. emperor Hadrian reverted the name from kingdom of Judaeans back to Palestine
4. Palestinians were colonized by Arabs at some point for a period of 700yrs cumulative. hence the dominance of Arabic language and culture amongst the Palestinians of today, instead of the Judaean religion that the hasmonean kings struggled to impose on Palestinians for roughly 100yrs of their combined reign.
5. Palestinians are not Arabs, this can be confirmed by DNA. The Arabs are Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, Bahrain and Qatar.
6. Judaeans had their kingdom changed to Palestine by the romans. so the Judaeans are the Palestinians. it is a LIE, that the romans sent the Judaeans all to Europe. its a claim which cant be proven. and which is practically not only false, but importantly nonsensical
7. the Judaeans are todays Palestinians. all the Palestinians are the descendants of the ancient Judaeans and are not Arabs cos they speak Arabic and serve Arabic gods.
8. the Palestinians were killed and bulldozed from their villages and towns to make room for the illegal state of Israel. about 12million Palestinians are living currently in neighboring countries, driven from their native homes of Palestine to make room for settlers from Europe under the guise of Israel. Israel is built on stolen land.
9. Palestinians living within Israel do not have equal rights as these European settlers. its false that 2million Palestinians in Israel have it all rosy as the Zionist hasbara will have the whole world believe. if any of them leave Israel, they wont be allowed to return back. if ur family lives outside Israel, u cant visit them and they cant visit u. if u dare ask for equal rights, ur house will be bulldozed. they dont matter and their votes dont count. they are mere political trophies for the Israeli PR image of a hopeless democracy.
10. the Jews are not Judaeans. this can be confirmed by DNA. Their linage have never been from Palestine, nor are they related in genetics to the Judaeans in religious literatures. Jews are European converts to the Judaean religion propagated by Talmudic scholars from Palestine. jews are European settlers from Europe, trying to reestablish Judaism in Palestine. not just as a religion, but as an official state.
11. the joke is all on Christians on NL who in their quest to help the chosen people of Israel are actually working against the real descendants of their biblical patriarchs. who today are the Muslim Palestinians, in favor for some random settlers from Europe and Africa who are just Talmudic imitations of the religion that is long out of vouge in the area

Wonderful!!! You seem to be a scholar who is totally sold on latter day corrupted version(s) of the historic events in the land of Israel, and doing everything within your intellectual capacity to discredit any acknowledgment of the existence of the land of Israel before 1948! Well done; keep it up!

What you fail to understand is that land of Israel had existed long before 1948. The same way the land pf Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Jordan had existed before 1948!.
So now, Judaeans are the Palestinians now?
You also said the Romans defeated the Levite king of in 634CE to take over Palestine!

Yet you said that the land of Israel never existed until 1948!
So let me ask you: the Judaeans and the Levite king: where are they from?

Have you ever heard about the tribe of Juda and Levi?

Namaster:
Tinubu did not understand the meaning of floating the Naira before they implemented it. The ARTIFICIAL Naira appreciation in the past few weeks is simply because the CBN had been furnishing BDCs with dollars at absurd rates.

Now that they've been called out for depleting the Foreign Reserves by trying to defend the Naira, they've cut back a little and Naira is finding its real baseline.

Fun fact: it's NOT there yet. The exchange rate will get worse.

I agree with you on the first paragraph! The Tinubu government is just cluelessly arrogant and arrogantly clueless! Totally confused set of people in government. You do not attempt to float your national currency in any developing nation because the imperfections in the currency market would make speculators to manipulate and skew the market against the citizens. What governments do is intervene and manage the exchange rate in a way that ensures price and other economic stability.
Now that the dollar had gotten to over N1,700 in recent past, there would be pressure from speculators to still push it towards that direction!

U are wrong on Herodotus. Egypt has never been a part of Palestine.
Palestine under Seleucid is larger than the Palestine under the romans, which in turn is larger than the Palestine under the British.
the British and France created Lebanon and Jordan out of Palestine. further shrinking it.

THE MAP OF PALESTINE 1947

Okay, okay!!! Let me grant you that Egypt was not part of Palestine.
But my point still stand;, that is, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan were/are the main components of what was called ''Palestine'' originally! So there were/all ''Palestinians''.

The people (Arabs) living in the West Bank (original name is Judea and Samaria under Israel) and Gaza that are now calling themselves and claiming to be the sole ''Palestinians'' are descendants of Arabs living in the land of Israel who refused to recognize Israel as a separate state and also refused the offer to be assimilated into state of Israel as citizens, unlike the over 2 million Arab Israelis, who are Arabs but accepted to become Israeli citizens and are today enjoying all the rights and privileges of Israel like other citizens.

Completely wrong. thats not what the place said. THE PART OF SYRIA THAT EXTENDS SOUTHWARDS TO EGYPT IS PALESTINE. am paraphrasing.
it only means that most of palestine was syria then.
thats why i wanted you to see how alexander divided his kingdom. alexander gave Egypt to Ptolemy and Syria to Seleucid. u cant know this and still say Egypt was part of Palestine. no. Egypt is Ptolemy and Palestine is Seleucid.

Go read the encircled section of the book again and look at the map of the middle east!
.......''This part of Syria together with the country which extends southward to Egypt is all in Palestine....This confirms my position that the original word ''Palestine'' comprises Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan and section(s) of Egypt! .
Syria and Egypt do not share any direct boundaries, hence the phrase ''the country which extends southward to Egypt'' can only refer to the area of Lebanon, Jordan and Israel! Check your map!
The phrase ''.....is all in Palestine'' should therefore confirm to you that the word ''Palestine'' originally referred to a region combining or made of different nations or people.

In other words:,
Syrian was/is in ''Palestine'' and Syrians were/are ''Palestinians'';
Jordan was/is in ''Palestine'' and Jordanians were/are ''Palestinians''
Israel was/is in ''Palestine'' and Israelis were/are ''Palestinians'',
Lebanon was/is in ''Palestine'' and Lebanese were/are ''Palestinians''

Indeed, this was the actual situation many years ago because all these people used to share only one identification document (e.g. passport) as citizens of ''Palestine''. The Roman empire used only one document for all of them!

There are kings who were ruling in these places before they were defeated by the Romans

So the word ''Palestine'' did not refer to a separate monolithic people, the now called ''Palestinians'' the way some people, especially the Arabs want the world to believe now.
It is the strategy of the Arabs living on the land of Israel who are opposed to the creation of Israel (and refused to to be assimilated into State of Israel like other Arab Israelis) that adopted the old name '' Palestine'' and ''Palestinians'' in order to distort the history and mislead the world!

They cannot arrogate the word/name ''Palestine'' to themselves alone!
