Best Answer

Palestinians are those Arabs who trace their origins to the former British Mandate of Palestine, so that area could be considered their homeland. However, it is worth noting that prior to 1993, there was no Palestinian self-rule at any time in history when the identity (or its Levantine Arab predecessor) existed.

Did Iran and Syria support the Palestinians in their struggle to have a homeland?

Answer 1Yes.Answer 2It depends, though, on what the term "support" means.If the question is whether Iran and Syria have provided support to Hamas and other violent and militant Palestinian groups, then yes, these two countries have supported the Palestinians.However, violent Palestinian militant organizations have consistently resulted in negative prospects for long-term peace and an Israeli unwillingness to negotiate. The Palestinians make their biggest gains when more peaceful individuals are willing to strike deals with Israelis and also when Palestinian infrastructure improves. The creation of a viable Palestinian Police Force in the West Bank, for example, has resulted in fewer Israeli checkpoints in the West Bank; a tangible sign of edging towards a Palestinian homeland. Iran and Syria have never supported these sorts of infrastructural developments nor have they encouraged the Palestinians to negotiate with Israel. Additionally, numerous Palestinian refugees live in Syrian Refugee Camps where they have minimal rights (often not including the right to work or to leave the general vicinity of the camp). Therefore, Iran and Syria have actually been detrimental to the Palestinian struggle to have a homeland since they undercut any tangible improvements that may be made to get the Palestinians closer to such a State.
