He also said that the land was void of human population yet the Arabs would have the world believe that the land was overflowing with Arabs! That simply is not the case. Were there a few Arab nomads dotted across the land here and there? Sure! But does a nomad have a legal claim to a land he camps out on? No.Hasbara was founded in 2001. Innocents Abroad was published in 1869. Your suggestion is quite impossible. Grasping at straws requires a straw to in fact be in existence. Check your dates the next time. No cigar for you....Mark Twain said Israel was like a barren wasteland when he visited, void of human beings, vegetation, life. It wasn't until the Jews returned that everything was restored to its former beauty. Once the Arabs saw the Jews return and make the land beautiful it suddenly become theirs as if they ever had a claim to it. They do not...
Got to ask, have you ever read "Innocents Abroad"? Probably not, otherwise you'd have come across the descriptions the Zionist Hasbara department leaves out, “The narrow canon in which Nablous, or Shechem, is situated, is under high cultivation, and the soil is exceedingly black and fertile. It is well watered, and its affluent vegetation gains effect by contrast with the barren hills that tower on either side” or “Sometimes, in the glens, we came upon luxuriant orchards of figs, apricots, pomegranates, and such things, but oftener the scenery was rugged, mountainous, verdureless and forbidding” or
“We came finally to the noble grove of orange-trees in which the Oriental city of Jaffa lies buried”, amongst others. This was in 1867, 15 years before the first European Jewish settlers arrived en masse in 1882. Another thing tha Hasbara department omits is the fact that 90% of these settlers left before accomplishing anything of note. Zionist epic fail number1
What suggestion is that, pray tell? The fact that the Hasbara department cherry-picks Mark Twain's book about his journey in 1867 which was published in 1869 in order to provide a false picture of Palestine to promote the myth that the Zionists "made the desert bloom"? Or are you just talking out of your posterior again?
Even with those couple of left-out sentences, the majority of Twain's description of Palestine is that of a forgotten wasteland. So what if a couple of places were in bloom? Any people who aren't totally retarded could have a couple of gardens here and there.
