You cannot possibly believe this! No one could. The keys to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre have been in the same family for hundreds of years!! (a Muslim family, by the way...) People can easily trace their roots back. Someone is trying to feed you a lie, but at least it is an easily disproven lie.

That is all great. i would love to see a source on the Jewish family that farmed the same piece of land in Israel for all that time! I am collecting such stories. Muslims have not lived there for millenia, but Palestinians have. As we know, Palestinians are descended from ancient Jews.
But none of that is in the films I showed. All these films show is what Palestine was like BEFORE Israel came into existence. Again, it is sort of "Palestine without Zionism."
*******************************************************************
"Palestinians" at the time that the term Palestine was coined (approximately 600 BC)
by the greek historian Herodotus-----were philistines and greeks living in Syria. For
Herodotus "people" meant greeks or greek like persons. The people who lived
in PHILISTIA were aegeans-----like JASON ----they were for the greeks like
greeks. Greece had invaded and---kinda colonized Syria ----and were very much
intermarried (the policy of alexander) with whoever was already in Syria---
generally PHONECIANS Thus the statement Palestinians were living in "PALESTINE"
for millennia is simply an awkward spin. It might interest my fellow posters to know
that CLEOPATRA might be called a "PALESTINIAN"-----she was actually (if I remember correctly) born in
SYRIA ----and was ---GREEK to a large extent in background. She learned the language
of Egypt as an ADULT Since the Romans began to call Israel/Judea----Palestina---
about 100 AD and more firmly 300 AD with the establishment of the FIRST REICH
under the ROMAN EMPEROR Constantine----Zionism still existed in ---Israel/Judea---
it never completely left -----Under Constantine----synagogues were developed in caves--
ie Judaism and Zionism was forced underground. Such hidden synagogues
are still being found by archaeologists in Israel/Judea. The written record
is a better source. Jews were still writing the Talmud during the early
times that Aenmity describes PALESTINE WITHOUT ZIONISM----in fact part of
the Talmud is commonly called The PALESTINIAN TALMUD gee aenmity----you
are dim The talmudists who wrote the PALESTINIAN TALMUD were not
Zionists? you are a barrel of laughs.
long ago----I had a professor-----whose name was HaKodsi (surname) very
interesting guy-----his family had continued to live in Jerusalem ----thruout
the millennia -----never left. the name HaKodsi means
"person from a holy place" ------ie it is the surname used for some people whose familes
did not leave Jerusalem after the roman destruction thereof.
The statement "today's Palestinians are descended from ancient jews" is utterly
idiotic -----What is correct is --- "today's palestinians and jews are descended from
the ancient people of the Levant" The only way anyone could conclude that
todays Palestinians are descended from "ancient jews" would be if ALL the
people of the Levant were jews in ancient times-----nope----jews were not the only
people in ancient times in the Levant. Contrary to the thinking of the shallow
minded-----even the Y chromosome cohen haplotype does not Prove descendancy
from jews---
but there is no way this kind of stuff can penetrate the brains of the simple minded---
just as some kids just cannot learn high school geometry.
