Who Are The Palestinians?

[MJB12741]

An 1852 contemporary view on the Jews and Arabs in Palestine

From Remarks on the present condition and future prospects of the Jews in Palestine, by Arthur George Harper Hollingsworth, 1852:

The population in Palestine is composed of Arabs, who roam about the plains, or lurk in the mountain fastnesses as robbers and strangers, having no settled home, and without any fixed attachment to the land. In many of the ruined cities and villages there exists also, a limited number of Christian families, uncivilized, and not knowing correctly from what race they derive their origin. Poor, and without influence, they tremblingly hold their miserable possessions from year to year, without security, and without wealth, in a land which they confess is not their own. ...

The Arab and Christian populations diminish every year. Poverty, distress, insecurity, robbery, and disease continue to weaken the inhabitants of this fine country. Ruins fall upon ruins; solitudes increase in the deserted vallies. The land mourneth for its inhabitants. ...

Amongst the scattered and feeble population of this once happy country, is found, however, an increasing number of poor Jews; some of their most learned men reside in the holy cities of Jerusalem, Hebron, and Tiberias. Their synagogues are still in existence. Jews frequently arrive in Palestine from every nation in Europe, and remain there for many years'; and others die with the satisfaction of mingling their remains with their forefathers’ dust, which fills every valley, and is found in every cave.

This Jewish population is poor beyond any adequate word ; it is degraded in its social and political condition, to a state of misery, so great, that it possesses no rights. It can shew no wealth even if possessed of it, because to display riches would secure robbery from the Mahometan population, the Turkish officials, or the Bedouin Arab. These Jews live chiefly on alm, collected from the nation in all parts of the world. There is no people more charitable, though that charity is generally exclusive, than the Jew. This money is precarious in .its amount, frequently tardy in its arrival, always uncertain when it may be received, lost sometimes in its passage, and accompanied ever by the degradation of receiving a distant and unsettled charity, supporting a wretchedly impoverished and famishing people. No advancement is made by the Jew of Palestine, in trafficking, in commerce, in farming, in the possession of settled houses or lands. There alone, where he ought to be first, he is last; and where in all other countries a Jew thrives and increases in wealth, in that one he is spiritless from oppression, and without energy, because without hope of Protection. He creeps along that soil, where his forefathers proudly strode in the fulncss of a wonderful prosperity, as an alien, an outcast, a creature less than a dog, and below the oppressed Christian beggar in his own ancestral plains and cities. No harvest ripens for his hand, for he cannot tell whether he will be permitted to gather it. Land occupied by a Jew is exposed to robbery and waste. A most peevish jealousy exists against the landed prosperity, or commercial wealth, or trading advancement of the Jew. Hindrances exist to the settlement of a British Christian in that country, but a thousand petty obstructions are created to prevent the establishment of a Jew on waste land, or to the purchase and rental of land by a Jew. “

...Agricultural pursuits are attended with much hazard, for, in the vicinity of the Jordan there are many Arabs, who support themselves chiefly by plunder. ...What security exists, that a Jewish _ emigrant settling in Palestine, could receive a fair remuneration for his capital and labour? None whatever. He might toil, but his harvests would be reaped by others; the Arab robber can rush in and carry off his flocks and herds. If he appeals for redress to the nearest Pasha, the taint of his Jewish blood fills the air, and darkens the brows of his oppressors ; if he turns to his neighbour Christian, he encounters prejudice and spite ; if he claims a Turkish guard, he is insolently repulsed and scorned. How can he bring his capital into such a country, when that fugitive possession flies from places where the sword is drawn to snatch it from the owner’s hands and not protect it ?

,,,Now, how is this poor, despised, and powerless child of Abraham to obtain redress, or make his voice heard at the Sublime Porte? The more numerous the cases of oppression, (and they are many), the more clamorous their appeals for justice, the more unwillingly will the government of the Sultan,—partly from inherent and increasing weakness, partly from disinclination,—act on the side of the Jew. They despise them as an execrated race ; they hate them as the literal descendants of the original possessors of the country. ...

How long shall Israel continue to allow the Palestinian land theives to remain in Israel? Problem is that no surrounding Arab country, who know the Palestinians best, will grant them a right of return back to their indigenous homelands.

No one wanted the Jews in Europe or the U.S., so the West landed them in Palestine where their presence has caused major conflict since their arrival. The real question is when will the demographics become so overwhelming that the West begins treating Israel as apartheid South Africa was treated, and forced to become a democracy?

By the way, instead of posting an unverifiable travel log, why don't we see what Palestine was really like in the 1800s.

Who are the Palestinians? Here's is a current example. MJB12741


Before Deah Barakat is beatified by the Pope, some tweets have been published that show his attitude toward Jews and others. Then there's the donations to..........who?

ChapelHillShooting Victim’s Anti-Semitic, Anti-Zionist, Pro-Terrorist Tweets


Editor’s note: We obviously don’t support the taking of any life but we also don’t support the lionization of the dead. While many of the obituaries of Dean Bhakarat have focused on his alleged charitable endeavors, we thought we’d give you a deeper dive.

The official motive of the shooting of three Muslim-Americans in North Carolina was a dispute over a parking spot but the left-wing and Arab media are calling the killings a hate crime.

We really have no idea what actually happened between the suspect and the three Muslim-Americans. It’s equally possible that Deah Barakat’s hatred of whites could have provoked the incident as Craig Stephen Hicks avowed dislike of religion.

One of the Chapel Hill shooting victim’s tweets reveal anti-Semitic, anti-white, anti-Israel, and anti-Zionist views.

Deah Barakat tweeted over 8,000 times. Some of them are about sports. Many of them are hateful.




Barakat retweeted anti-Semitic cartoons often.



He retweeted and backed 9-11 conspiracy theories and compared the treatment of the Palestinians to that of Jews during the Holocaust.

The UM says nearly 300. Who am I to argue with that august body? What does that have to do with the tweets and the cartoon?

No they kill terrorists on a regular basis. So if the terrorists use the children as human shields then it is them who killed the children under INTERNATIONAL LAW.

And when you read the UN charter and the Geneva conventions you find that it is the Palestinians that are to blame for those 300 children getting killed. The sooner the UN admit this in open session the sooner the Palestinians will be dragged before the ICJ on charges of genocide, mass murder, war crimes, crimes against humanity and breaches of humanitarian law.

No the Palestinians are killing them by using them as human shields, which is why hamas does not want fatah to take it to the ICJ. keep telling to read and understand the Geneva conventions and how they apply to the Palestinians attacks on jews.
