Why Palestine can not recognize Israel as a state

[kahljorn]

"Although I can't geneticly prove it, the idea that modern arabs of the Palestine/Jordan region are descended of Canaan son of Ham is taught in Palestinian primary schools in the region."

You're talking about the curse of Ham and they are actually descendents of Noah, I should add in that all arabs are considered descendents of Abrahams son Ishmael. Also from what I recall the term "Canaan" is about as vague as the term "Mesopotamia" in that they merely describe masses of land.

I believe the jews and many other groups considered the curse of ham to be about black people, and was used as justification for their slavery and as an excuse for the annhilation of canaans. Supposedly.
