Some Arab countries are nauseated and tired of the Palestinian lies

3

Before the formation of Israel in 1948 almost one million Jews lived in Arab countries but ethnic cleansing of those Jews has reduced that number to less than ten thousand. Compare this to the number of Arabs estimated to have been in Israel in 1948 which was 160,000 and today in 2021 there are in excess of two million of whom approximately 1.5 million are Muslims. The term ‘Nakba’ has developed as a propaganda weapon against Jews and the Jewish State of Israel about an event that never actually happened. Nakba, or catastrophe does not apply to the mythical Palestinians but certainly applies to those Jews persecuted and forcibly removed from Arab countries post 1948 as the caption below clearly identifies. These Jews had all their property and possessions stolen by Arab governments just because Israel had been legally created as a nation state.

Decades of propaganda waged by Israel’s enemies and mainstream media, conveniently ignores the history of Jews ethnically cleansed from Arab countries and concentrates exclusively on those Palestinians supposedly ethnically cleansed from Israel. The truth tells a very different story and let’s remember that those Arabs who found themselves in Israel/Palestine in 1948 were immigrants from Arab countries who came into the area directly resulting from the economic benefits that Zionism had created.

The Peel Commission Report of 1937 recognized this and noted thus.

“….illegal Arab immigration was not only going on from the Sinai but also from Transjordan and Syria”.

In May 1939 in the House of Commons, Winston Churchill also alluded to mass Arab immigration into the area.

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

Mass Arab immigration into Palestine was a concern for Arab countries. The Governor of Houran Province, South West Syria in an interview with the French Syrian paper, Le Syne in August 1934 complained that over thirty thousand of his community had left to find work in Palestine creating an agricultural labor shortage.

Robert Kennedy in an interview with the Boston Post, June 3 1948, stated.

“The Jews point with pride to the fact that over 500,000 Arabs in the twelve years between 1932 – 1944 came into Palestine to take advantage of living conditions existing in no other Arab state”.

Palestinians were not indigenous to the geography as the vast majority were immigrants looking for better paid jobs. Unfortunately, the myth that today’s Palestinians were the original inhabitants, has morphed into fact and needs to be challenged.

Another myth that has never been challenged is that of Israeli ‘ethnic cleansing and apartheid’. Again, revisionist history has become accepted as the truth that also needs to be challenged and corrected. The statistics below may assist in this effort.

Islam in Israel – Facts and Figures (various sources including Israel Ministry for Foreign Affairs)

Freedom of religion is a core value of the Israeli democracy

  •   Israel is home to 1,454,000 Muslim citizens who enjoy full civil liberty and political freedom.
  •   Hebrew and Arabic are the official languages of the State of Israel.
  •   Most Arab citizens of Israel are Muslims, mainly Sunnis. Other branches of Islam in Israel include: Shia, Alawite, Ahmadiyeh, Sufi and Shazaliyeh. Islam is the second biggest religion in Israel after Judaism.
  •   Jews account for 75.4 percent of the population, Muslims make up 16.9 percent, Christians 2.10 percent, Druze 1.70 percent and the rest of the population identifies otherwise, including a small Baha’i community.

Religious affiliation in Israel:

  •   The Muslim population of Israel has increased about ten-fold since the State was established; from some 156,000 in 1949 to over 1,454,000 today.

Muslim Population Growth

  •   There are over 400 mosques in Israel, of which some 73 are located in Jerusalem. The number of mosques in Israel has increased about five-fold since 1988, when there were 80 mosques.
  •   Approximately 300 imams and muezzins receive their salaries from the Israeli government. Israel provides the Korans used in mosques and funds Arab schools and many Islamic schools and colleges. Such schools teach Islamic studies and Arabic, as well as the Israel Ministry of Education’s general curriculum.
  •   In 2015, the Israeli government approved a 10-15 billion NIS budget (about 2.6-4 billion USD) for a five-year plan to develop the Arab sector in Israel and this has been increased in line with domestic inflation.
  •   The Muslim community regulates its own unique court system and handles marriage and divorce under Islamic law. Eight regional Islamic law courts and one national appeals court operate in Israel, under the supervision of Israel’s Ministry of Justice.
  •   Muslims are highly involved in Israeli academia, with some 26,000 Muslim students enrolled in Israeli academic institutions. In 2014, about 21 percent of the undergraduate students at the prestigious Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa were Arabs, up from 11 percent in 2001. This is roughly the same proportion of Arabs as in Israel’s overall population of 8.3 million.
  •   Some Muslims also serve in the Israel Defense Forces; approximately 1,700 Muslims served in 2015, mostly from Bedouin tribes.
  •   Most of Israel’s Muslim citizens, some 69 percent, live in the northern part of the country, i.e. the Galilee and Haifa. About 20 percent live in and around Jerusalem and 11 percent of Israel’s Muslims are Bedouins that live mostly in the south of Israel, near Be’er Sheva in the Negev.
  •   Each year the Jerusalem municipality decorates the streets of the city in celebration of the Muslim holiday of Ramadan, and hosts dozens of festivities and events for the public.
  •   The municipality also marks the holiday with a traditional ceremony in which a shot is fired from a historical cannon in East Jerusalem each day at sunrise and sunset to mark the beginning and end of the daily fast.
  •   Muslim employees can take days off work during Ramadan, and working conditions are tailored to their needs while fasting during the month. The Israel Defense Forces also adjust Muslim soldiers’ training regimes during the month of Ramadan.

Ethnic cleansing and apartheid have been undertaken in the Middle East not by Israel as the media, Israel’s enemies and the United Nations have promoted, but by Arab and non-Arab Muslim countries. Atrocities committed on those of the Jewish faith by those of the Islamic faith is nothing new as is evidenced by the list of historical events noted below. Paradoxically, not one of those atrocities were perpetrated by the indigenous Palestinians in an effort to regain their land and rid the Jewish population from their lands. Where were the indigenous Palestinians during the period between 622 and 1967?  Perhaps they were living in harmony with the Jews unlike their Islamic neighbors or perhaps, as is the truth, they never existed.

History provides no evidence of any war, battle or conflict fought by those identifying themselves as Palestinian against any foreign or domestic invader. Is that not strange or just further proof of the mythical Palestinian.  Pogroms, or organized killings and the spontaneous massacres of Jews were a regular occurrence however. The list is comprehensive but undoubtedly not absolute and is subject to update by various compilers too many to individually acknowledge.

History does not lie – only liars attempt to revise history. Jews, as history testifies, and not Palestinians were subject to ethnic cleansing.

Given the divisions within the Islamic world which has created so much havoc and destruction, pragmatism driven by political, military and economic necessities are creating connections between Israel and Arab countries. Originated by President Trump via the Abraham Accords, Israel’s relationships with former Arab nation state enemies is on an unstoppable upward trajectory. The Palestinian leaders in the West Bank and Gaza however are still calling for Israel’s extermination as per their Nazi Palestinian National Council Charters of 1964 and 1968 and the Hamas Palestinian Charter of 1988. The Palestinians are becoming increasingly isolated and unpopular and their ultimate objectives as stated in their Charters are morally indecent, puppet Nazism and thanks to the establishment of Israel, will fail.

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

“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”.

Israel is the only Jewish state in the world and is surrounded by 22 Islamic countries which are 640 times the size of Israel and 60 times Israel’s population. Some Arab countries are nauseated and tired of the Palestinian lies that have cost so much despair and kept their flock in poverty, fanned by hatred and without hope. The Palestinian lies must be challenged as must their disgraceful connection to Nazism.

  1. I have a few comments about the facts stated in this Open. It states that 160,000 Arabs were displaced during the claimed Nakba. The so called Palestinians claim the figure is around 800,000 and the UN says around 600,000. I have never heard the 160,000 figure before, where did it come from? Also it states that the Peal Commission recognised that many Arabs illegally migrated to Israel from Trans Jordan. Trans Jordan wasn’t established until after WW2. At the time of the Peal Commission, it was part of British Mandate of Palestine, so how could they be illegal if they were residents of the same territory? I agree with everything else in this article, these few points just need some clarification by the Author.

  2. The demographic expansion of millions of Arabs in Palestine can be stopped and even reversed only if Jews stop giving Arabs work, benefits, health service, education, judicial protection, representation in the Knesset.
    The winner in a war does not give his land and citizenship to the defeated enemy.
    *
    120 years of residence of Jews and Arabs in constant conflict on a strip of land 70 km wide – proved that two peoples cannot live in one country and must disperse.
    This decision was made at the UN in 1947.
    To date, only Arabs have complied with this decision and expelled Jews from many Palestinian cities.
    It’s time for ALL 6.5 million Arabs of Palestine to obtain the citizenship of the Palestinian National Autonomy.
    Only then will begin economical, political and physical separation between Jews and Arabs. Without this, peace in Palestine is impossible.

  3. Mark has a point. The aftermaths of the Balkan Wars, WWI and WWI witnessed a continuous exchange of populations among the newly created countries. Besides that, there is the occupation of strategic zones regardless of the ethnic majority such as Hatay (Syrian zone occupied by Turkey) or the recent occupation of a strip in Northeastern Syria.
    Arabs have not cared about Hatay. Why should they care about Samaria?
    Palestinians should get rid of religion and its ruling mafia, stop voting for Islamic parties, embrace secular thought (equal rights for every citizen with equal responsibilities) and focus on the economy, the environments and the institutions.
