Question
Help me.  I can not find the answer to these questions.  They should be easy for a scholar, as yourself.  

1) What currency did the palestinians use before 1967?
2) Who was the palestinian leader before Arafat?
3) Where can I find palestinian literature dated before 1967?

Thank you.

Answer
hi ahmed,

1- the currency was bound ( LE ).

2- actually there wasn't a direct leader, during and befor the 1948 there was many leaders like eiz al Amin al Housaini and later his sun Abdel Qader Al husaini, and after the PLO was established there was Ahmed Al Shoqairi, and then Yasir Araft ( Abu Ammar) came to the leadership, and he was also the Fateh Organization leader.

3- you can find many internet sites that talk about palestinian history and literature on the internet, u can check  http://www.palestinehistory.com/
