Excellent article. I have a book with all this, titled "The Palestinian Lie: Shattering the Myths," by O. Isaac. I bought several more to pass and have one left--if you or any of your readers would like it I'd be happy to mail it out. Just email me an address.
The mythology around "palestine" and the "palestinians" is one of the great examples of gaslighting in recent history. The history is widely available to anyone, yet too many people choose to believe the propaganda over the history.
It's just history, it's neither negative or positive, it just is what it is. The problem is that there has been an entire political narrative built on ignoring the history that simply pointing out the reality seems negative.
Of course I was referring to the connotations of that history regarding the character of the Pallies. It certainly shines no positive light on them at all.
The “palestinian” people have been used and manipulated by various Arab leaders for decades. They’ve been convinced of a line of BS, while their leaders get rich. The Arab world needed a perpetual victim class to justify terrorism and the “Palestinians” are perfect for that and for cannon fodder.
The "palestinian" people are used by themselves primarily. We can know this is true by virtue of the fact there is no discernible resistance to their leadership from within. At best, there's been only variations on the same theme.
It's a little more complicated than that, but at this point they don't really have much of an option but to stick with their "leaders". Both because their leaders keep feeding them the narrative which gives them purpose, and because the only people that want to recognize them do so because it serves another purpose.
The short version is that the Arabs needed a victim class, so they created one. They've been screwed over by their own coreligionists and "protectors" ever since.

Posted it to FB. Even more negative detail than that of which I was already aware...by quite a bit, which is wild given how much I already knew!
