    • 2024 May 28, Ralph Janik, “Der Anerkennung Palästinas fehlt die Grundlage [A basis is lacking for the recognition of Palestine]”, inDer Pragmaticus[1], archived fromthe original on28 May 2024:
      Ebenso gibt es ein palästinensischesVolk. Aus Sicht des Selbstbestimmungsrechts reicht es aus, dass eine ausreichende Anzahl von Menschen sich zusammengehörig fühlt und historisch ein bestimmtes Gebiet für sich beansprucht. Allfällige Exkurse zur geschichtlichen Genese der Palästinenser oder gar Versuche, sie letztlich als Jordanier oder schlichtweg Araber „wie alle anderen“ darzustellen, sind dabei irrelevant.
      Likewise, there is a Palestinianpeople. From the viewpoint of the right to self-determination, it suffices that a sufficient number of persons feel themselves belonging together and claim for themselves a certain territory historically. Potential excursuses into the historical genesis of the Palestinians or even attempts, to depict them ultimately as Jordanians or simply Arabs “like all others”, are thereby irrelevant.
