There is no "Palestine"
One of the biggest and most successful Arab propaganda lies is the false claim that there is a land called "Palestine" and a people called "Palestinians."
Palestinians
The term "Palestina" was invented by the murderous Roman emperor Hadrian. The Romans wanted to rename Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel) after the Philistines, the longtime enemy of the Jews. Hadrian believed that by renaming the Jewish homeland after the Jews' archenemy, he would be able to forever break the bond between the Land of Israel and the Jewish people.
But even the name of the Philistines, from which the term "Palestine" was adopted, is completely alien to the LThe remnant of Jews who survived the Roman Holocaust were exiled from their land for 2,000 years to the four corners of the earth. Yet neither the Roman Holocaust nor 2,000 years of Crusades, inquisitions, expulsions, blood libels, pogroms and finally the 20th century German Holocaust could break the eternal connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel.
and of Israel.
The name Philistines in Hebrew is plishtim, which comes from the Hebrew verb polshim (foreign invaders).
So those who call themselves "Palestinians" are using a term that actually means "foreign invaders."
Even during this 2,000-year nightmare, there were always some Jews still living in the Land of Israel despite the horrific conditions.
In 1844 - when the Land of Israel was controlled by the Turkish Muslims - the Turkish census counted 7,120 Jews and 5,000 Muslims living in Jerusalem. Thus, Jerusalem was already a Jewish city 160 years ago.
Take note of how few people lived in Jerusalem in 1844 - even though Jerusalem was by far the largest town in the Land of Israel!
Jerusalem had a very small population because the Land of Israel as a whole was mostly uninhabited until the Jews
started to return in larger numbers in 1870.
Israel's interior areas were mainly a desert-like wasteland while her coast was a malaria-ridden swamp.
The Zionist chalutzim (pioneers) spent decades working to turn the deserts into gardens, and working to drain the coastal swamps until the Land of Israel became the breathtakingly beautiful, lush, modern nation that it is today.
The claim of the Arab Muslim Nazis that they lived in the Holy Land for 2,000 years, until the Jews came, is a lie. Arabs only came to the Land of Israel in large numbers after the Jews returned in the 20th century and started to rebuild the nation, thereby creating economic and employment opportunities for Arab immigrants.
Prior to 1870, when Jews started to return to the Holy Land in large numbers, there were fewer than 100,000 Arabs living in what is today the State of Israel - including Yesha (the Hebrew acronym for Judea, Samaria and the Gaza District).
This small number of nomadic, tribal Arabs who lived in the Holy Land before the modern Jewish return never considered themselves to be a separate people or nation.
The Arabs who lived in the Land of Israel were not "Palestinians" but Arabs - part of a huge Arab people with 22 very large independent nations that control one-ninth of the land mass on the planet Earth.
Indeed, the Arabs have more than 600 times the land that the Jews have. But the implacable Arab goal is to swallow up and destroy the tiny Jewish homeland.
Before the modern Jewish return, this is how Mark Twain described the Land of Israel after he visited the Holy Land in 1867:
"A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds - a silent mournful expanse.... A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action.... We never saw a human being on the whole route.... There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost deserted the country." (The Innocents Abroad)
In 1913, the British Royal Commission reported:
"The road leading from Gaza to the north was only a summer track suitable for transport by camels and carts ... no orange groves, orchards or vineyards were to be seen until one reached Yabna village.... Houses were all of mud. No windows were anywhere to be seen.... The ploughs used were of wood.... The yields were very poor.... The sanitary conditions in the village were horrible. Schools did not exist.... The rate of infant mortality was very high.... The western part, towards the sea, was almost a desert.... The villages in this area were few and thinly populated. Many ruins of villages were scattered over the area, as owing to the prevalence of malaria, many villages were deserted by their inhabitants."
Lewis French, Director of Development for the anti-Jewish British Government, wrote in 1931:
"We found it inhabited largely by fellahin who lived in mud hovels and suffered severely from the prevalent malaria.... Large areas ... were uncultivated.... The fellahin, if not themselves cattle thieves, were always ready to harbor these and other criminals. The individual plots ... changed hands annually. There was little public security, and the fellahin's lot was an alternation of pillage and blackmail by their neighbors, the Bedouin."
The revival of the Land of Israel as a land "flowing with milk and honey" came only after the Jews returned.
The Roman beasts annihilated over a million Jewish men, women and children in their Satanic effort to ensure that G-d's people would never again be able to return to the Holy Land.
There was never a "Palestine" nation or state at any time in history.
When the Arab Muslim Nazis and their self-hating Jewish collaborators claim that there was a "Palestine," we should respond with the following:
Name one leader of this mythical "Palestine" - who was its president, prime minister or king?
Name one nation that had diplomatic relations with "Palestine."
What was the currency of "Palestine"?
In fact, the Arabs themselves always denied that "Palestine" or "Palestinians" exist.
"There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not," Dr. Philip Hitti, an Arab historian representing the Muslim world, told the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry in 1946.
In Israel's 1948 War of Independence, when the entire Arab world attacked the tiny Jewish State promising to "push the Jews into the sea," all of the Arab states told the United Nations that the Land of Israel was part of southern Syria.
In the 1948 war, Egypt invaded and occupied the Gaza District, and Jordan invaded and occupied Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem.
Thus, all of Yesha was controlled by Egypt and Jordan from 1948 to 1967. The Arabs could easily have created a "Palestinian" state in Yesha.
But from 1948 to 1967, no one called for the creation of a "Palestinian" state. No one even suggested that a separate "Palestinian" people exist in Yesha.
After self-hating Jews told the Arabs that they should invent a "Palestinian" people as part of their propaganda war to destroy little Israel, the terrorist Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was formed in 1964 in Cairo, Egypt
Yet even the PLO never called for an independent "Palestine" state in Yesha when Egypt and Jordan controlled Yesha. Only when Israel liberated Yesha in the 1967 Six Day War did the PLO, Egypt, Jordan and the rest of the Muslim world suddenly "discover" that Yesha Arabs are "Palestinians" who must be given an independent PLO terrorist state.
"Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identify serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel," said Zuheir Muhsin, the head of the terrorist PLO's "military department" in a March 1977 interview with Trouw, a Dutch daily newspaper.
Muhsin's admission that a separate "Palestine" people is only a tactical deception in the Arab war to destroy Israel simply confirms the obvious: the Arabs invented "Palestine" and "Palestinians" in the 1960s for tactical propaganda purposes even though the terms have no historical validity whatsoever.
The most astonishing part of this story about the myth of "Palestine" and a "Palestinian" people is the willingness of the Jews to accept such a transparent Arab Muslim lie aimed at bringing about the annihilation of the Jewish people.
What is it about the Jews of modern history that makes them so self-destructive, so masochistic, so pathologically sick?
Why are Jews so unwilling to face reality, and so unwilling to stand up for truth and principles?
Why are Jews so "practical" and "pragmatic" that they fail to realize that idealism, uncompromising devotion to principle and stubborn zeal are precisely the characteristics that kept the Jewish people alive for 4,000 years?
Indeed, it is the stubborn and uncompromising idealists not only among Jews, but among any people, who consistently win in the long run.
