‘Palestinian’ claims to Israel

There are two categories of people who are fanatically devoted to Hamas: Islamists and committed leftists. (Snip) I’d like to advance some newly acquired facts to change the narrative that Jews are colonizers who have used and abused the Arabs with ancient ties to the land. Actually, these facts are new to me but, in point of fact, they have a history. In the late 1600s, Hadriani Relandi, a polyglot who spoke several European languages, along with Arabic, Ancient Greek, and Hebrew, traveled to Ottoman Palestine. The most important takeaway is that Palestine was not an Arab land; it was (and is) a Jewish and Christian land.

Comments:

There is a wealth of information here. Fascinating stuff. In addition there is a pretty amusing video near the beginning.

Great article, great insights. If you've never been to an Arab sook, then you might not know that the proclivity to start every negotiation with demanding impossbile, hyperbolic outcomes (and if an outright lie suits the moment, then OK!) is a tactic endemic to all muslim cultures. And that includes geopolitical negotiations. Which includes Palestinian claims such as: there is a historical national identity of "Palestine" and "Palestinians." Israelies have no historical claim to Israel. Islam is a religion of peace. Proving yet again that everything a so-called Palestinian says...on any subject...is so fraught with hyperbole and outright falsehood that they simply cannot be trusted.

It is a long article, but don't miss the conclusion: This book written in 1695 completely refutes theories about "Palestinian traditions", "Palestinian people" and leaves almost no link between the land and the Arabs. Most of the population was Jews, almost everyone else is Christians, very few Muslims, mostly Bedouins. The author, Adriaan Reland, was a geographer, cartographer, traveler, philologist, and linguist who was well-versed in several European languages, Arabic, Ancient Greek, and Hebrew. He visited almost 2,500 settlements mentioned in the Bible.

Must Read. Two demographic counts of Palestine. First one: Traveler in 1690 goes through Palestine settlement by settlement counting Jews Christians and Muslims. The surprising answer is it was mostly Jewish and Christian. Gaza had 500 inhabitants. mostly Jews and Christians. Muslims came to the area after 1830 for the most part.

Yes, an informative read. FTA: "* Relandi mentions Muslims only as nomadic Bedouins who came to the cities as seasonal workers in agriculture or construction." Some things never change. Very interesting #1. It seems the Dims have also adopted such tactics. "Men can have babies" is pretty extreme.

Then why did the Jews who moved from elsewhere find it necessary to expel some Arabs from where they lived in now Israel back in '48?

Heck the claim that the Al Asqa moasque is the “furtherest” mosque Mohammed went to on his magic flaying horse “Barack” is also a recent fiction. That mosque was built after Mohammed was dead, buried, and in Hell.

Never Arab. In fact, only Muslim controlled, which ended with the Ottomans. I had heard how starting after WW I, Jews began buying land in the area. They often had to deal with Muslim banditry and were pretty severe when they caught them. The alternative was extermination by the Ottoman overseers, for raising a hand against a Muslim. By the time the British established a "Land of Israel", Jews, Christians and Muslims lived within those borders. The Jews had a dream and hired whoever was willing to help turn the land back to the biblical "Land of Milk and Honey". But Arabs attacked again and again. Many Muslim inhabitants of Israel fled, on the advice from the attacking Arabs, "dwell amongst them, be counted with them by our armies." It was perfectly understood that the Arabs intended to finish what Hitler started. Is it any wonder the Israelis refused to let the Muslim work force return, under the circumstances? The defeated Arabs refused the refugees entrance as well. This is the origin of the Palestinians: Carpet baggers who backed the wrong side.

Respond ant 5: Don't know the answer to that unless we have more information. Did Jews displace Muslims! There are bad apples in every bunch. I can recall the Israeli military displacing Muslims in the 60s and 70s expanding kibutzes. It was understood at the time that, first, the land in question had been often been Jewish-owned for decades. The Muslims were essentially squatters. Second, the Muslims were perfectly happy to kill their neighbors. Remove them before you have to eliminate them.

You can laugh at Gwyneth Paltrow all you like, but her upper class followers, millions of them, determine the future via their purchasing power.

The Value of Victorians 3 replies
Posted by Judy W. 11/2/2023 1:21:17 PM Post Reply
One of the most prevalent modern shibboleths is the idea that ‘Victorian values’ were a bad thing or simply a case of abject hypocrisy from a society far less enlightened than our own. It’s impossible to watch any modern TV show or film set in the Victorian era without receiving this message. (Snip) If a modern ‘progressive’ writer, actor, producer or director wants to batter particular loathed groups today-for example men, white Europeans, Christians, straight people or Donald Trump fans-all they have to do to really ram home those points is to present the standard Marxist manufactured view of the 19th and very early 20th centuries.

Liberal journalists are attacking new House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA.) for not owning a fancy car or owning a million-dollar home. This week, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL.) roasted a Daily Beast reporter who scorched Johnson for not having “any retirement savings, own a single stock, or have any assets at all. He has less than $5,000 in his bank account.” Advertisement The Daily Beast’s Matt Fuller linked his tweet to a story that discussed Johnson’s financial position as “extraordinarily precarious.” Fuller mocked the new House Speaker for having a mortgage that only costs $250,000-$500,000, a home equity loan, and a personal loan.

A week before its attack Hamas agreed to another truce with Israel. The agreement negotiated by Qatar, Egypt and the United Nations traded an end to border attacks for more imports, a bigger fishing zone and more work permits that allowed 20,000 Gaza Muslims to enter Israel. The agreement reached between Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, and Sukkot, the conclusion of the High Holy Days season, offered an end to the explosives and rocks being hurled at Israeli soldiers on the border and the incendiary balloons starting fires on Israeli farms.

It is perhaps the fate of startling wisdom to become a repeated cliche. This is certainly what has happened to Arendt’s formulation regarding the ‘banality of evil’. What was a remarkable insight into the mediocrity and insignificance of men capable of astonishing evils (and hence the capacity of anyone of us to do the same) gradually became part of the furniture of discussions on totalitarianism. And like furniture, we would sit on it without paying it much attention. So yes, we all knew that Himmler was a failed chicken farmer. We all knew that much of the architecture of evil was conducted by little grey men with little grey souls.

Propagation of myths has consequences. Let us examine a couple. Myth 1. The State of Palestine This so-called state is like Brigadoon, with two exceptions: a. It never appeared. b. It refuses to go away. Neither a country nor a state of Palestine has ever existed. The Kingdom of Judah is named after Judah, the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. (Snip) The Kingdom of Judah lasted for about 350 years, until it was conquered by the Babylonians. However, the Jewish people eventually returned to their homeland, and they rebuilt their community in Judea. We are dealing here with the land of the Jews.

London has become ground zero for some of the most disturbing pro-Hamas demonstrations in the world following the attacks on October 7th in Israel, and things just got a lot more chilling. As RedState reported, tens of thousands have marched through the streets, some shouting antisemitic slogans and declaring support for "intifada." The mobs have also taken over various British monuments, desecrating and damaging them. In light of that, counter-protestors showed up on Saturday to ask people to respect British heritage. Instead of being allowed to march down the street as the pro-Hamas protesters have done, though, they were forced to stay behind barricades.
