One of the key goals of Zionist propaganda is to make people believe that the Muslim and Christian people of Palestine did a not exist when the European Zionists began colonizing Palestine.
Initially, they tried to push the idea that Palestine was empty. This is the old "a land without a people for a people without a land" lie. This was such a successful propaganda campaign that most people in America actually believed that there were no people in Palestine when the Jews began colonizing Palestine. Most Europeans were not that easily brainwashed, and the Europeans were well aware of the presence of non-Jews. The Catholic and Greek Othrodox churches in Europe both had formal ties to the area and provided more clarity on the matter than the respective churches in the U.S., who were influenced by the powerful Jewish community here.
As more and more source documents became available this fantasy became untenable as all the British mandatory source documentation concluded that at the end of WW1 the Muslims and Christians outnumbered the Jews more than 11 to 1that. What to do?
The next Zionist gambit was to claim that the Muslims and Christians migrated to Palestine from surrounding territories. This propaganda ploy gained some traction but was ultimately debunked by virtually the same League of Nations Mandatory source documentation archived at the UN. That documentation concluded that both legal and illegal non-Jewish migration to Palestine was inconsequential and that migration to Palestine was overwhelmingly that of European colonists. The same source documentation clearly stated that the growth of the non-Jewish population was as a result of natural growth while the Jewish population grew as a result of migration. The Zionist claim that the non-Jews went to Palestine for work was comical when confronted with the fact that the British garrison in Egypt was far larger than the small garrison in Palestine and that the Suez Canal and other British infrastructure and operations employed several times the personnel that Palestine could employee. The irony of the Zionist propaganda is that non-Jewish Palestinians immigrated to Egypt for work and educational purposes. The non-Jews of Palestine were more likely to leave Palestine for work than go to Palestine.
With most of the Hasbara propaganda debunked the most recent ploy is to claim that while there may have been non-Jews around, they did not exist as Palestinians. Some go so far as to repeat a made up story that the Russians created the Palestinians in the 1960s.
When the Zionist propagandists are confronted with letters, from the same archives, from 1921 to the British Colonial Office from the Palestinians, calling themselves the People of Palestine they revert to the next ploy, there was no Palestine during the Ottoman Empire. This notwithstanding official Ottoman military maps showing "Filastin" as a locale/territory. Other than maps, there are other indicators. For example, why would there be a manual for Palestinean (sic) Arabic during Ottoman rule (1909) if there were no Palestinians during Ottoman rule?
