What a friggin coincidence:

[Phoenall]

British mandate of Palestine, you ignorant moron.

For 700 years when it was under Ottoman control, they called it Southern Syria.

What did they call Israel?

Southern Syria as well dufus. However no such thing as the mythical "West Bank" (another Arab invention) it was called Judeah and Samaria for 3000 years until the Jordanian aggression and occupation.

was no mythical "Israel" either dumbass...

Talk trying to prove a 'point' that support both... Oh no wait, sorry, zionist extremist alert... Only works ONE WAY!

So the greeks, romans, persians, babylonians, egytians, assyrians were all wrong? For those of faith, even the quran tells of Israel returning to their homeland. Mohammed turned away from Jerusalem surrendering it to the jews and christains, giving the muslims Mecca as their focus of worship instead.

How have so many throughout history all been liars but only you know some ray of truth?

Or perhaps it is the other way around

Israel has existed on papyrus, vellum, stone, coin. Thousand + years of history, a unique religion on which most of the world bases their own faiths.

How can you reject so much evidence as dismiss a nation that lived more than a thousand years is a myth?

Because he has been brainwashed into believing the LIES and PROPAGANDA of neo Marxism and islamonazism.

Yes, I already stated, no "Israel" but there sure was a Judeah and Samaria (which is basically another name Israel) and many Jews were living in Jerusalem and all the major cities of the region, throughout the 700 years of Turkish Ottoman rule. That is well documented.

So to conclude....No West Bank, no "Palestinian people" and no Palestine, for 700 years of Ottoman rule.

Many, as in, more than 2?

And of the non Jewish population?

To be honest I care not what you wish to 'name' them, call them 'American' for all I care... The fact remains that the area was not exclusively or majority Jewish!

Does this help make your mind up



CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA Jerusalem After 1291

"...Present condition of the City: (1907 edition)

Jerusalem (El Quds) is the capital of a sanjak and the seat of a mutasarrif directly dependent on the Sublime Porte. In the administration of the sanjak the mutasarrif is assisted by a council called majlis ida ra; the city has a municipal government (majlis baladiye) presided over by a mayor. The total population is estimated at 66,000. The Turkish census of 1905, which counts only Ottoman subjects, gives these figures:
Jews, 45,000; Moslems, 8,000; Orthodox Christians, 6000; Latins, 2500; Armenians, 950; Protestants, 800; Melkites, 250; Copts, 150; Abyssinians, 100; Jacobites, 100; Catholic Syrians, 50. During the Nineteenth century large suburbs to the north and east have grown up, chiefly for the use of the Jewish colony. These suburbs contain nearly Half the present population...""

Truth, look at the flags.

"Truth" there's a few here...

- israel is a country

- the gaza strip (it's really all palestinian areas: the ramallah refugee camp, hospitals, school rooms...)


Is it's own terroristic entity, run by terrorists


- palestinians keep shooting rockets into israel - not a sign of peace
- many peace offerings were/are extended (before, during, after) rockets/other sick acts of terrorism
- palestinians prefer the rocket approach to peace

"Truth:" i guess if "they" don't root out the terrorists - there can be no peace. that's what terrorists do for a living - they practice evil, disrupt our God-given right to freedom, wreck peoples lives -- they live in this opposite, dark world (a.f.a.i.c.) - including that weirdo-nut in no. korea, the psychopaths in africa, those cavemen in aghanistan, and the 'rest of the long-list of "deranged" terrorists/jihadists/wannabees around the world. The sick evil bastids that they are.




"it's lie nothing !"








while others are discovering galaxies billions of miles away, discovering 'cures,' sending ROVERS to Mars -- they're "stuck in time."

It doesnt say "British mandate of Palestine" you ignorant moron, it says Palestine, go back to Iraq

During the mandate, the term 'Palestine' was widely used instead of writing or saying the whole "British Mandate of Palestine'

>>Under the former Ottoman Empire, several European currencies circulated in Palestine side by side with the Turkish currency, commercial circles before the first world war of 1914-1918 actually preferring French currency (particularly the gold Napoleon). At the time of the British occupation (in 1917), it was the Egyptian currency, brought in by the troops, which was considered as the country's legal currency.

It was not until 1926 that the Palestine Currency Board, consisting of representatives of the colonies, the Crown colonies, the Bank of England and the Palestine Financial Secretary, was established in London for the purpose of supervising Palestine's note circulation, supplying it with paper money and watching over Palestine's interests in currency matters.<<

>>No banking system existed in Palestine prior to the end of the nineteenth century, so that the fellahin were left entirely at the mercy of the moneylenders, The first banks established in the country were foreign banks which opened branches in Palestine; towards 1900 local Jewish banks were subsequently formed<<

The coins do not say state, nation or republic on their either, they did not have to.
It did not have to say mandate or protectorate. There was no currency in palestine before the mandate. It was a nothing. It was a series of sanjuks like city provinces. To say palestine was like saying levant or middle east, it was just a general region, not a place.

Do you think before speaking or just parrot nonsense from some anti-semitic hate site? Use your brain.

Three languages on the coin and you want to say 'British mandate of the palestinian territory' as well? At that time it was not necessary, there was no coin before that time, nor country that needed to be distinguished. It was just a splotch, this general area, that the mandate called palestine (a roman name not one given by the inhabitants of the place, nor even by the arabs)
