Palestinians are indistinguishable from Jordanians, and the truth is that, some quibbling about boundaries in the West bank notwitshtanding, Jordan is the Palestinian homeland. Of course, we need only look to Black September, to see the true measure of Arab brotherhood. The issue is not a homeland or dignity or rights or security for the "Palestinian" people, they and the claims of those issues are solely leverage to wipe Israel off the map.

If a nation is defined by its shared language and culture (France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Greece, Turkey etc.) then the nation of Arabia runs from Bahgdad to Morocco and the land between the Jordan River and the Med is definitely part of it. Or at least was part of it until 1948.
If you don't buy that definition of nationhood then someone belongs to the place where they were born. There were many Arabs (and many descendents of such Arabs) that were born in what is now the nation of Israel. Call them what you will but the area that is now called the nation of Israel is their homeland - not Jordan (meaning not the West Bank or the area East of the Jordan river).
Anyway - that is my opinion.
