The 'palestinians' didn't exist at the time of Ottoman ruleIn terms of history, archaeology, and heritage, Palestinians have over 1,300 years of that in the same place. Modern Israelis that migrated from Europe, America, Arabia and Africa, less than 100. "Security" is irrelevant, many countries have insecure borders; Zionist Israel has had several opprtunities for a lasting peace but has never negotiated in good faith and has created the "security" problems it now faces.
They have at most 30 years up to 1099 when they where evicted and lost control and sovereignty of the land. They did not gain control of any part of Palestine until 1947 when the British and Mandatory granted then full sovereignty under the mandate of Jordan. At no time since 1099 has any arab muslim held sovereignty of the land of Palestine and you cant produce a link saying any other. The evidence of the Ottomans show that Palestine was very sparsely populated and the arab muslims refused to stay and colonise the land. Israel has a proven track record of negotiating peace deals that last, so how you can say they don't shows that you are blinkered by hatred of the Jews. It is the Palestinian arab muslims that refuse to negotiate in good faith, and just demand unworkable and insecure pre conditions that have no basis in any international law.
Complete drivel. The Turks, unlike the Zionist colonists, expelled no-one. Show us your Ottoman "evidence" that "Palestine was very sparsely populated and the arab muslims refused to stay and colonise the land." The Palestinians have always tried to negotiate in good faith, not so the Zionist colonists.
So, what were the Christians and Muslims of Palestine which were 99% of the population called?
Natives.![]()
Natives of the Ottoman empire, only the Jews were called Palestinians.............
