"Help Free Palestine" was a Jewish Slogan of the Zionist Organization of America

The Pro-Palestine movement borrowed the slogan Free Palestine from the Zionist movement (and never gave it back). Why? Because before 1948, Palestine was a general geographic name for the region, not a widely used Arab national identity. In fact, many Arabs rejected the term. Auni Abdel Hadi, an Arab representative at the Peel Commission, is often cited as saying: "There is no such country as Palestine. Our land for hundreds of years was part of Syria" (Paraphrased from period accounts) The Jews accepted the name and even referred to themselves as 'Palestinian Jews', carrying Palestinian-British passports. This is how Jewish institutions used the name Palestine:

Only after the establishment of the State of Israel did the term Palestinian develop more clearly into a distinct national identity among Arabs, especially in the context of opposition to Jewish sovereignty. So 'Free Palestine' from who? From the British occupation of the land, of course.
