The History and Meaning of "Palestine" and "Palestinians"
A Time To Speak [Website]


"There is no such thing as a Palestinian Arab nation . . . Palestine is a name the Romans gave to Eretz Yisrael with the express purpose of infuriating the Jews . . . . Why should we use the spiteful name meant to humiliate us?
The British chose to call the land they mandated Palestine, and the Arabs picked it up as their nation's supposed ancient name, though they couldn't even pronounce it correctly and turned it into Falastin a fictional entity." — Golda Meir quoted by Sarah Honig, Jerusalem Post, 25 November 1995


Palestine has never existed . . . as an autonomous entity. There is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, 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. — from "Myths of the Middle East", Joseph Farah, Arab-American editor and journalist, WorldNetDaily, 11 October 2000


From the end of the Jewish state in antiquity to the beginning of British rule, the area now designated by the name Palestine was not a country and had no frontiers, only administrative boundaries . . . . — Professor Bernard Lewis, Commentary Magazine, January 1975



ie there is no such thing as a real palestinian

Imagine yourself, daniel, living in, let's say Ohio. There's a war going on halfway around the globe, and when it's over, the victors decide to send their 'undesireables' to Ohio to live. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of them move into your home state over the next couple of years, effectively taking over, electing their own government (which gives them more rights and protections than it does you) and taking military action against resistance.



part of this did take place. Why do you think there is a state of Utah.

that group was run out of the country because of their beliefs. the area that is now Utah was under Mexican rule when they started for it.

and while they were traveling toward that new land far from anyone. The government that wouldn't protect their rights, asked them to provide men to fight a war against Mexico.

and they land that they were travailing to ended up coming under the control of the government that wouldn't protect their rights.


Many of Jujubes wanted to go to MilkDud Land, even though they'd personally never lived there before. Many of the other lands they could have gone to didn't want them. Even the good guys didn't want them. So the good guys helped them go to MilkDud land, and armed them to kill any MilkDuds that complained about it.


first of all if you read my first post you find that no one was living there except some jujubes. The land was a waste land.

second of all the Jujubes offered to give some land that they had captured from the other milkduds to the new whoppers.

third of all the new whoppers, and the milkduds want to kill all of the Jujubes, that I believe is genocide.

and in 1929 when the first jujubes went to that land the sheik who governed that land welcomed them home. then one year later the milkduds started to kill the jujubes who up to that point had been law abiding citizens of that sheik.

so in this war it was the milkduds not the jujubes that drew first blood.

For some time, the 800 Jews in Hebron lived in peace with their tens of thousands of Arab neighbors. But on the night of August 23, 1929, the tension simmering within this cauldron of nationalities bubbled over, and for 3 days, Hebron turned into a city of terror and murder. By the time the massacres ended, 67 Jews lay dead and the survivors were relocated to Jerusalem, leaving Hebron barren of Jews for the first time in hundreds of years.

The summer of 1929 was one of unrest in Palestine. Jewish-Arab tensions were spurred on by the agitation of the mufti in Jerusalem. Just one day prior to the start of the Hebron massacre, three Jews and three Arabs were killed in Jerusalem when fighting broke out after a Muslim prayer service on the Temple Mount. Arabs spread false rumors throughout their communities, saying that Jews were carrying out "wholesale killings of Arabs." Meanwhile, Jewish immigrants were arriving in Palestine in increasing numbers, further exacerbating the Jewish-Arab conflict.

i couldn't find that reference but here is a link to the above story

and those people had been living there for hundreds of years.
