why did you only go back to 1947??

how far do you think we should go back??

and you used national porographic as a source?? you should have just used a hamas source,,

Well there's only a 25 X 7 mile strip left now.

And it's lookin' pretty shabby.

Palestine was never a country. There is no Palestinian ethnicity.

Who was the Head of State in Palestine in 1947? Where did they send their tax payments? Did Palestine have an army? A currency? Is there a Palestinian language or dialect? In all cases, No.

There was no Palestine.

This is not to say that there were not people there who had valid claims to their land and property, but it was never a country.

It was analogous to Appalachia in the U.S. An undefined region.

Sorry Munk but the Israelites have been there for 4000 years.

Here's a map of the territory showing the region circa 800 BC.

The kingdoms of Judah and Israel were both controlled by the Israelis. And the Philistines were not the Palestinians.

Zionists: "We will take house after house" from Palestinians in Jerusalem.

It was a Region. It comprised the ancient homeland of the Jews, including TransJordan.

Which is why the Mandate for Palestine (Israel) was made of Gaza, all you see on the map and TransJordan.


The British stole 78% and gave it to Arabs who had not live there. The Hashemites. This clan attacked and ethnically cleansed TransJordan of all the Jews in 1925.

Get history right. Get the facts right.

I was looking at a old map where it defined the nationality of the settlers of various regions and it defined Appalachia as settled by Americans.

I looked around but could never find anything that fleshed that out.

Yes the area was called Mandatory Palestine from 1920-1948 when it was controlled by the UK. Nobody disputes that

Zionists: "We will take house after house" from Palestinians in Jerusalem.

When Britain took over that area in 1917 they called it "Mandatory Palestine". Up until that time it had not been called "Palestine" for centuries. And in 1917 the Arab population did not call themselves "Palestinians."

". . .In the second half of the 19th century, the longstanding yearning of Jews in the Diaspora to return to the territory of their ancestors culminated in the nationalistic movement called Zionism.

The Zionist cause was driven by steeply rising hatred toward Jews in Europe and Russia. Immigrating Jews encountered a predominantly Arab populace, who also considered it their ancestral homeland.

At that time, the land comprised three administrative regions of the Ottoman empire, none of which was called “Palestine.”

In 1917, the land came under British rule. In 1923, “Mandatory Palestine,” which also included the current state of Jordan, was created. Its Arab inhabitants saw themselves primarily not as “Palestinians” in the sense of a nation, but instead as Arabs living in Palestine (or rather, “Greater Syria”). . ."

The history of ‘Israel’ and ‘Palestine’: Alternative names, competing claims

This history of Israel and Palestine is complicated. One land, two names. Those on each side claim the land as theirs, under their chosen name.

Genociders gotta genocide...

 

[DGS49]

Reality check: How can any AMERICAN say that the "Palestinians" have to honor a promise made by "G-d" twenty-five hundred years ago?

No self awareness?

Does not matter how far back you go.
Historically there really is no valid "Israel".
When the Hebrew tribes invaded the Land of Canaan around 1000 BC, they called the area around Jerusalem Israel, but only for about 150 years, and it was invalid because they were evil invaders who massacred the native Canaanites, for no valid reason.
And mass genocide makes a country invalid, not valid.

The Romans created a fake Israel again around 100 BC. but it only lasted until around 60 AD and the Jewish revolt was suppressed by the Romans.

There has never been an Israel really until the UN made it up on 1948.
And that was a huge mistake because the UN did nothing to defend the rights of the Arabs who owned land in the newly created Israel, and did nothing when Israel violated the 1948 partition by invading Jerusalem and the West Bank.

There really is no excuse for that obvious theft of Palestine by the Zionists.

Wrong.
The Hebrew tribes who invaded the Land of Canaan and massacred the natives, only lasted for about 150 years before being utterly defeated and destroyed by the Assyrians, around 850 BC.
It is easy to draw fake maps from fairy tales, but Israel had zero historic impact.

I don’t think they have to, nor do they have to accept the fact they lost the war in 1948.

They can continue to fight, but we should get out of Israel way if they want to defend themselves again

That is totally wrong.

The British never stole Palestine, never owned it at all, and did not give it to anyone.
The Palestinians have been there for 10,000 years, as the Canaanites, Chaldeans, Amorites, Philistines, Phoenicians, Nabateans, etc.

The British Mandate for Palestine was the independence of Palestine in recognition for the help the Palestinians gave Lawrence of Arabia.

The Hashemites got Jordan, not Palestine.
There were no Jews in Jordan at all in 1920, and fewer than 5% of the population of Palestine in 1920.
No Jews were attacked from 1920 to 1948.
The riots like at Hebron, were from armed Zionists murdering Arabs for what he was charging for strawberries.

The truth is all the violence was by Zionists, who blew up the King David Hotel to murder the British peacekeepers, gunned down Folke Bernadotte to get rid of the UN peacekeepers, and once all the peacekeepers were gone, started massacring Arab villages like Deir Yassin.

 

[Rigby5]

There is no Palestine.

That is just a lie.
The ancient Greeks and Egyptians reference Palestine all the time as a region.
The Treaty of San Remo on 1921 officially created Palestine in return for the help the Arab gave the Allies in WWI.

 

[Rigby5]

The word "mandatory" means that the British has a mandate or obligation, in order to help Palestine create a government, military, etc., so they could be independent.
It does not imply England had any ownership, control, or rule in any way.
