Palestinian myth was revealed by Arafat himself

Perhaps the most enlightening admission of the Palestinian myth was revealed by Arafat himself in his biography when he stated that it was, he Arafat who invented the Palestinians and that they were nothing without him.

Palestinian revisionist history exposed!

An analysis of recorded, contemporary statements from reputable commentators, tells us much about the history of an issue when reviewed free of bias. We know for example that despite the late twentieth century propaganda which has successfully linked Palestinian religious, legal and historical claims to Jerusalem and the wider geography, from an Islamic perspective such claims are diametrically opposed to Koranic tenets.

Paradoxically therefore such Palestinian claims are completely Islamophobic given that neither Palestine, Palestinians nor Jerusalem are ever noted in the Koran. What is noted in the Koran however in numerous Suras is that Allah through the prophet Mohammed bestowed, bequeathed and promised the entire geographical area to the Jewish people and thus modern Palestinian revisionism are undoubtedly mocking the Koran, Allah and Mohammed.

Yakut, 13th century Arab biographer.

”Mecca is only holy to Muslims and Jerusalem only holy to Jews.”

Ibn Tamiyyah 1263-1328, one of the most revered scholars in Islam dismissed any Islamic connection to Jerusalem

‘In Jerusalem there is not a place one calls sacred and the same holds for the tomb of Hebron’.

His student Ibn Qayyim al -Jawziya, 1292 – 1350 went further by suggesting that any Hadiths current or future that connected Jerusalem to Islam were to be regarded as false.

Ibn Khaldun , Arab historian  died 1406, wrote in 1377.

”Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel extended over 1400 years and it was the Jews who implanted the culture and customs of the permanent settlement.”

Muhammed Abu Zayd, Egyptian religious scholar and author in 1930 wrote a book dismissing the Islamic connection to Jerusalem as being based on political opportunism and nothing to do with Koranic teachings.

Sheikh Ahmad Adwan , Jordanian Koranic scholar , 2018

“From where did you bring the name Palestine you liars when Allah has already named it The Holy Land and bequeathed it to the Children of Israel. There is no such thing as Palestine in the Koran”.

Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi of the Italian Muslim Assembly has written extensively on how the Palestinian cause has usurped and mocked the teachings within the Koran which clearly establishes that the total geographical area now called Israel is bequeathed to the Jewish people.

Written documented evidence exposes and validates a comprehensive understanding of the geography and its inhabitants. The historical records of numerous itinerant scribes to the area have a common theme that many will find surprising and unpalatable. Of all those who travelled through the area and recorded their journeys, not one wrote of a nation, group, tribe, race nor culture identified as or identifying themselves as Palestinians. Below are just a selection of those who travelled to and wrote about the history and geography of the Holy Land and Palestine – there are numerous others I could refer to, and missing from all their records are evidence of those identifying as Palestinians whom supposedly have inhabited the area since time immemorial.

In fact the Palestinians, like the mini skirt and silicone breast implants  were simply an invention of the 1960’s. What is more startling is if indeed the Palestinians existed, which they did not, how they would allow Jerusalem , apparently so sacred to them , to rot as described and documented thus.

Gunner Edward Webbe 1590 wrote.

“Nothing there is to be seen in Jerusalem but a little of the old walls which is yet remaining and all the rest is grass, moss and weeds much like to a piece of rank or moist ground”.

Thomas Shaw, British archaeologist, 1750.

“The land is lacking in people to till its fertile soil”.

Count Constantine Francois Volney, 18th century French historian.

“It is a ruined and desolate land”.

Gustav Flaubert , of Madam  Bovary fame wrote in 1850.

“Found ruins everywhere and has the effect of a fortified pile of corpses.”

James Finn, British Consul 1857

“The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is of a body of population”.

Christian travelers to the area in the mid 1800’s wrote that Arabs

“Cannot be considered but temporary residents. They pitched their tents in its grazing fields or built their places of refuge in its ruined cities. They created nothing in it since they were strangers to the land – the desert wind brought them hither”.

William Thackeray of Vanity Fair fame in his 1844 essay From Jaffa to Jerusalem similarly described the area as had described all of the above.

Cooks Tourist Handbook for Palestine and Syria 1876

“Above all other countries in the world Palestine is now a land of ruins. In Judea it is hardly an exaggeration to say that for miles and miles there is no appearance of present life or habitation’’.

Mark Twain (Samuel Clemence) in The Innocents Abroad 1867, wrote thus.

“There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent (valley of Jezreel, Galilee), not for 30 miles in either direction. One may ride 10 miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings. For the sort of solitude to make one dreary come to Galilee, Nazareth is forlorn, Jericho lies a moldering ruin. Bethlehem and Bethany in their poverty and humiliation untenanted by any living creature. A desolate country whose soil is rich enough but is given over wholly to weeds, a silent, mournful expanse – a desolation. We never saw a human being on the whole route. Hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil had almost deserted the country which sits in sackcloth and ashes… desolate and unlovely”.

This description by Twain, and the photos of the 19th and 20th century photographers Felix Bonfils and Leo Kahn prove beyond doubt, not that any further proof is necessary, that the so called ‘Palestinians’ had never inhabited the area as they currently claim. In the ten thousand plus photos that Bonfils and Kahn photographed each with a narrative attached , not one referenced a nationality, people, tribe , race nor culture termed Palestinian. The idea that Jerusalem was a place so worthy of Palestinian Muslim importance is an absolute lie, a fallacy , a false narrative that fits current Palestinian propaganda.

Certain Arab leaders stated the obvious. Auni Bey Abdul, Syrian Arab delegate to the Peel Commission 1937:

“There is no such land as Palestine. It is a term invented by the Zionists. There is no Palestine in the Bible”.

Winston Churchill in many statements and writings recognized the indisputable facts that the Arabs were the colonizers and immigrants to the geography leveraging off the economic benefits brought about by Zionism.

Churchill recognized these undisputable facts. In 1920 he stated

” It is manifestly right that scattered Jews should have a national home and be reunited and where else but Palestine with which for 3000 years they have been intimately and profoundly associated.”

1922 – A Peace To End All Peace:

“The Arabs would have sat in the dark forever had not the Zionists engineers harnessed the Jordan river for electrification. Now they swarm into Palestine in seeking the light”.

In the House of Commons May 1939, he stated:

“So far from being persecuted. the Arabs have crowded into Palestine and multiplied until their population has increased more than even all world Jewry….”

It is noteworthy from Churchill’s statements that mass Arab immigration occurred during the Zionist influx and that Palestinians were never indigenous to the area as they claim. The Peel Commission Report of 1937 and the British Palestine Survey of 1948 endorse these demographic inconveniences for Palestinians and their supporters.

On March 23, 1918 the following was printed in Al Qibla, the main daily newspaper of Mecca. A quite pragmatic and forceful pro Zionist editorial.

” The resources of Palestine are still virgin soil and will be developed by the Jewish people. This cause of causes could not escape those who had a gift of deeper insight for they knew the country was for its original sons , a sacred and beloved homeland . The return to their homeland will prove materially and spiritually an experimental school for their brethren who are with them in the fields, factories, trades and all things connected to the land.”

Propaganda from the anti-Jewish State mob has also trapped us into believing that the current Palestinian refugee crises was undoubtedly created by the Zionists. This too is a myth.

Researching Arab newspapers and the diaries of British Diplomats on the ground during the period after the Arab invasion of the newly formed country of Israel is extremely enlightening on the subject of the ‘Palestinian’ refugee issue.

The Jordanian daily newspaper Al Urdun, April 9, 1953

“I could go on and on with this forgotten or deliberately obscured history. But you get the point. There was no Jewish conspiracy to chase Arabs out of their homes in 1948. It never happened. There are instead, plenty of historical records showing the Jews pleading with their Arab neighbors to stay and live in peace and harmony. Yet despite the clear, unambiguous words of the Arab observers at the time, history has been successfully rewritten to turn the Jews into the bad guys”.

The Cairo daily Akhbar el Yom, October 12 1963

”For the flight and fall of the villages it is the Arab leaders who are responsible because of their dissemination of rumors exaggerating Jewish crimes and describing them as atrocities in order to inflame the Arabs. By spreading rumors of Jewish atrocities, killings of women and children etc. they instilled fear and terror into the hearts of Arabs in Palestine until they fled”.

Colonel R. Meinertzhagen, Chief Political Officer in Palestine, Middle East Diaries ,1917 -1956 page 272.

“The Arab countries  do not want the refugee problem solved as they know it constitutes such a powerful propaganda weapon. The sufferings of the refugees means nothing to the politicians of the Arab states who are responsible for the refugee problem by attacking Israel”.

One of the most detailed studies I have read endorsing the statements above is the 1974 UN commissioned report, The Double Exodus by Prittie, Dineen and Goodhart which verifies beyond doubt not only the causes but also the grotesque exaggeration of the ‘ Palestinian’ refugees. The report exposes the forgotten ethnic cleansing of Jews from Arab countries post 1948 and the financial corruption of the UNWRA responsible for the funding of the refugees for political purposes.

There is perhaps no better way of concluding and summing up this study than to quote from an article entitled Is Israel a Thorn or a Flower in the Near East? by Abdul Razak Kader, the Algerian political writer, (Jerusalem Post, Aug. 1, 1969):

“The Nationalists of the states neighboring on Israel, whether they are in the government or in business, whether Palestinian, Syrian or Lebanese, or town dwellers of tribal origin, all know that at the beginning of the century and during the British Mandate the marshy plains and stone hills were sold to the Zionists by their fathers or uncles for gold, the very gold which is often the origin of their own political or commercial careers. The nomadic or semi- nomadic peasants who inhabited the frontier regions know full well what the green plains, the afforested hills and the flowering fields of today’s Israel were like before.

“The Palestinians who are today refugees in the neighboring countries and who were adults at the time of their flight know all this, and no anti-Zionist propaganda—pan-Arab or pan-Moslem— can make them forget that their present nationalist exploiters are the worthy sons of their feudal exploiters of yesterday and that the thorns of their life are of Arab, not Jewish, origin.”

The following selection of statements neatly wraps up the truth about the Palestinian mythology as an indigenous people.

The statement of Zuhair Moshin former commander of the military wing of the PLO in an interview with the Dutch journal Trouvw in 1977 was damning. He stated:

“It is for political reasons we underline our Palestinian identity – the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes , and is a new tool in the battle against Israel”.

Hafez Assad, Syrian ruler  speaking to Yasser Arafat Palestinian leader in April 1988

“Never forget this one point – there is no such thing as a Palestinian people, there is no Palestinian entity”.

Joseph Farah, Arab writer and journalist in ‘Myths Of The Middle East’ 2002

“There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians.

Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Iraqis etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one – tenth of one percent of the landmass. But that’s too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today. No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough”.

Fathi Hamad, Hamas Minister of the Interior, in an interview with the Egyptian TV Channel Al Hekma stated

”……every Palestinian in Gaza and throughout Palestine can prove his Arab immigrant roots.”

Perhaps the most enlightening admission of the Palestinian myth was revealed by Arafat himself in his biography when he stated that it was he Arafat who invented the Palestinians and that they were nothing without him. Being an Egyptian and there being no previous indigenous Palestinian leader prior to himself, he was absolutely correct. The Palestinian agenda however is clear to all.

The Palestinian Charters of 1968 and the Palestinian Hamas Charter of 1988 are both steeped in Nazi ideology demanding extermination of Jewish people and subservience to Islam of Christians and all other races and religions. The original Palestinian Charter dated 1964 in addition to the running theme of Nazism also stated the following in Article 24.

The PLO does not exercise any regional sovereignty over the West Bank, Gaza or Himmah (Golan).

Thus, Palestinian expansionism is therefore not based on historical claims to the geography but on political exploitation and extermination of the Jewish people. This is at least entirely consistent with the inertia regarding Jerusalem in Islam as witnessed above.

In conclusion modern day anti-Zionists are apoplectic that pro-Israel activists shout antisemitism at any criticism of the policies of the Jewish State of Israel . The Zionists have good reason to expose antisemitism being inextricably linked to anti-Zionism as one of the most morally decent men of the twentieth century exposed, recognized and stated – Martin  Luther King, March 1968.

“When people criticize Zionists they mean Jews. You’re talking antisemitism”.
