See, for example, Dennis Ross, “Bin Laden’s Terrorism Isn’t About the Palestinians”, The New York Times, 12 October 2001. Former CIA official Ray McGovern documented a systematic down-playing of the Palestine-al-Qāʿida connection in US media reporting and argued that “presidential candidates and the U.S. Establishment in general are hyper-allergic to discussing how U.S. support for Israeli policies toward the Palestinians encourages the recruitment of anti-American terrorists”; Ray McGovern, “Cheney Goofs on Israel”, Consortiumnews.com, 22 May 2009.

In fact, none of the 172 are coded as Palestinian by Sageman himself, but our supplemental research revealed that at least two (Abū Qatāda al-Filisṭīni and Zayn al-ʿĀbidīn Ḥusayn, aka “Abū Zubayda”) are of Palestinian extraction.

The source texts analysed in the Atlas came from the Minbar al-Tawḥīd wa-l-Jihād website, the largest online repository of jihādī literature. The individuals we recognized as Palestinians were ʿAbdallāh ʿAzzām, Abū Qatāda al-Filisṭīnī, and Abū Muḥammad al-Maqdisī.

During the peace conference in Madrid in 1991, the Palestinians were represented by a joint Palestinian-Jordanian delegation, but this was more because of Israeli demands than because of Jordanian ambitions to speak on behalf of the Palestinians. Moreover, during the conference, the Palestinian delegation was quite independent and in frequent consultation with the PLO in Tunis. See Morris, Righteous, p. 614.
