The World's Greatest Political Hoax: The So-Called Palestinians
At www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=28222 and
www.masada2000.org we come accross some extremely valuable, exhaustive, and
convincing information with regards to the so-called "Palestinians". In
these two sources or from the scholarly references contained within them, we
are reminded that no historical documents exist and certainly no
archeaological finds exist to convince us that Palestinians have their roots
in ancient history or that they are not merely Arabs pretending to be or who
have been brainwashed into believing that they are non-Arabs, despite what
mainstream sources (i.e., the puppeteers behind the political scenes who
dare not allow their obviously hidden agenda to become public knowledge, at
least until it's too late for their intended victims to do anything about
it) say to the contrary. There we learn that the UN created them from among
Israel's sworn enemies (the hords of Islamic Arabs who surround the land of
Israel). There we learn that the Palestinians were never even heard of at
least until no earlier than the late 19th-century.
Pasted below is information regarding Palestinians and related subjects from
Masada2000's first page:
WHO ARE THE PALESTINIANS?
WHAT & WHERE is PALESTINE?
Please Note: The terms B.C. (Before Christ or Before the Christian
Era) and A.D.("Anno Domini" Latin for "In the Year of Our Lord") have been
replaced with B.C.E (Before Common, or Christian, Era) and C.E.
(Common, or Christian, Era) so as to respect all visitors to this site. The
terms are interchangeable and both are based upon the Gregorian Calendar.
These and other questions will be addressed more fully as you go through
this website. However, there is a preliminary historical fact that must be
established now. There has never been a civilization or a nation referred
to as "Palestine" and the very notion of a "Palestinian Arab nation" having
ancient attachments to the Holy Land going back to time immemorial is one of
the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon the world! There is not, nor has
there ever been, a distinct "Palestinian" culture or language. Further,
there has never been a Palestinian state governed BY Arab Palestinians in
history, nor was there ever a serious Arab-Palestinian national movement
until 1964... three years BEFORE the Arabs of "Palestine" lost the West Bank
[Judea and Samaria] and Gaza as a result of the 1967 Six-Day War (which the
Arabs started). Even the so-called leader of the "Palestinian" people,
Yasser Arafat, is EGYPTIAN! In short, the so-called Arab "Palestinians" are
a manufactured people...a people with no history and no authenticity...
whose sole purpose for existence is to destroy the Jewish State!
Israel first became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the
rise of Islam! Seven hundred and twenty-six years later in
586 B.C.E. these first ancient Jews in the Land of Israel [Judea] were
overrun and Israel's First Jewish Temple (on Jerusalem's Old City Temple
Mount) was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, king of ancient Babylon. Many of the
Jews were killed or expelled; however many were allowed to remain. These
Jews along with their progeny and other Jews who would resettle over the
next 500 years, rebuilt the Nation of Israel and also a Second Temple in
Jerusalem upon the Temple Mount.
Thus the claim that Jews suddenly appeared fifty years ago right after the
Holocaust and drove out the Arabs is preposterous!
Then in 70 C.E. (nearly 2000 years ago), it was the Roman Empire's turn to
march through ancient Israel and destroy the SECOND Jewish Temple,
slaughtering or driving out much of its Jewish population.
Many Jews left on their own because conditions for life were made unbearable
in many respects... yet thousands upon thousands stayed and rebelled on for
centuries in order to once again rebuild a Jewish Nation in this Holy Land.
Over 3250 years, various Peoples, Religions and Empires marched through
Jerusalem, Israel's ancient capital. The region was successively ruled by
the Hebrews [Jews], Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Maccabeans,
Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Egyptians, the Crusaders, Mamelukes, the Turks
(who indifferently governed the backward, neglected territory from the 16th
century until the British drove them out during World War I) and then once
again by the Jews in 1948. None bothered, nor were they in the least bit
inclined, to build a Nation of their own... EXCEPT the Jews!
It must be noted that in 636 C.E., when the Arabs marauders came to the
land and uprooted even more of its Jews, they did not form any Arab nation
there... and certainly not a "Palestinian" nation. They were simply "Arabs"
who, as did others before them, moved into a geo-political area called
"Palestine!" And remember this one fact...
it was not the Jews who "usurped" (a favorite word from the Arab
propagandists) the land from the Arabs. If anything, it was the Arabs in 636
C.E. who overran and stole it from the Jews!
In Conclusion:
No nation, other than the ancient nation of Israel and later again in 1948
with the rebirth of the 2nd Nation of Israel, has ever ruled as a sovereign
national entity on this land. A mighty Jewish empire extended over this
entire area before the Arabs --- and their Islam
--- were even born! The Jewish People have one of the most legitimate Birth
Certificates of any nations in the world. Every time there is an
archaeological dig in Israel, it does nothing but support the fact that the
Jewish People have had a presence there for well over 3,000 years. The
national coins, the pottery, the cities, the ancient Hebrew texts... all
support this claim. Yes, other peoples have passed through, but there is no
mistaking the fact that Jews have always had a continual presence in that
land for over 3,000 years. This predates and certain dwarfs any claims that
other peoples in the regions may have. The ancient Philistines are extinct.
Many other ancient peoples are extinct. They do not have the unbroken line
to this date that the Jews have. And if you want to talk religion, fine.
G-d GAVE the Land of Israel to the Jewish People. And G-d does nothing by
accident!

"PALESTINE?"
The term "Palestine" came from the name that the conquering Roman Empire
gave the ancient Land of Israel in an attempt to obliterate and
de-legitimize the Jewish presence in the Holy Land. The name "Palestine" was
invented in the year 135 C.E. Before it was known as Judea, which was the
southern kingdom of ancient Israel. The Roman Procurator in charge of the
Judean-Israel territories was so angry at the Jews for revolting that he
called for his historians and asked them who were the worst enemies of the
Jews in their past history. The scribes said, "the Philistines." Thus, the
Procurator declared that Land of Israel would from then forward be called
"Philistia" [further bastardized into "Palaistina"] to dishonor the Jews and
obliterate their history. Hence the name "Palestine."
One more thing. Very often one hears the revisionists and propagandists
finding ancient historical links between the "Philistines" ("Invaders" in
Hebrew) and the Arab "Palestinians."
There is no truth to this claim! The Philistines were one of a number of Sea
Peoples who reached the eastern Mediterranean region approximately 1250-1100
B.C.E. They were actually an amalgamation of various ethnic groups,
primarily of Aegean and south-east European origin [Greece, Crete and
Western Turkey] and they died out over 2500 years ago! Those Philistines
were not Arab... and neither was Goliath! The Arabs of "Palestine" are just
that... Arabs! And these Arabs of "Palestine" have about as much historical
roots to the ancient Philistines as Yasser Arafat has to the Eskimos!
The ancient, indigenous inhabitants of Palestine are long perished from
the earth. Canaanites, Phoencians, and then Philistines, all were dominated
by the Israelites before 1060 B.C.E. Most of these cultural identities
dissolved completely by the neo-Babylonian age, or, the 6th century B.C.E.
Arabs weren't even in Palestine until the mid-7th century C.E., over a
thousand years later, after Palestine's 1,300-year Jewish history. Arabs
later living in Palestine never developed themselves or the land, but
remained nomadic and quasi-primitive
Even the word "Palestine" has no meaning in Arabic - every word in Arabic
has some meaning deriving from the Koran, but the word "Palestine" does not.
If anything, the name "Palestine" was associated with Jews. In the years
leading up to the rebirth of Israel in 1948, those who spoke of
"Palestinians" were nearly always referring to the region's Jewish
residents. For example, the "Palestine Post"
[forerunner of today's Jerusalem Post] newspaper and the Palestine Symphony
Orchestra were all-Jewish. The "Palestine Brigade Regiment"
was composed exclusively of Jewish volunteers in the British World War II
Army. In fact, Arab leaders rejected the notion of a unique "Palestinian
Arab" identity, insisting that Palestine was merely a part of "Greater
Syria."
THE RETURN TO ZION
A return through both time and space to their ancestral homeland
The Land of Israel was never devoid of Jews, although at times she
numbered only in the tens of thousands. This was because the land was
virtually uninhabitable when the Jews once again began their God-given right
AND duty to return en masse to the land of their forefathers (the Zionist
Movement) in the 1880s. The silly rhetoric about a massive Arab presence
being overrun by "invading Jews" is quickly dispelled by Mark Twain, who
visited the area in 1867. From his book, "The Innocents Abroad"... "A
desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to
weeds... a silent mournful expanse.... a desolation.... we never saw a human
being on the whole route.... hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive
tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost
deserted the country."
The Jews did not displace anyone, because very few of the people who were
there actually owned the land. Most were absentee owners residing elsewhere.
Another fact hardly mentioned by the "new historians" is that the arriving
Jews never threw anyone off any land. All land was purchased legally from
the original owners... whether they be from "Palestine" itself or elsewhere.
Furthermore, top dollar was paid for this land which, in many cases, was
uninhabited and hardly more than swamp land and rocky terrain. Only about
120,000 Arabs resided in an area that now comprises the State of Israel,
Jordan and the so-called "West Bank" [Judea and Samaria] in between. By
1890, the number of Jews who had settled in Palestine reached 50,000 and, by
1907, numbered 100,000. In Jerusalem alone the Jews numbered more than
25,000, out of a total population in the city of only 40,000 Jews,
Christians and Arabs. The Arabs did, however, constitute a majority over the
sparsely populated countryside abutting Jerusalem.
1880's
Note: For more remarkable early photos of the Holy Land click Here
From 1888 until 1915 there were about six locust plagues that made the
land nearly uninhabitable. In the 1915 locust plague alone some 40,000
people died and large numbers of Jews and Arabs left the land.
Those that returned did not do so until about 1922 when the Zionist money to
reclaim the land started coming in and a pipe line was laid.
Then both Arabs and Jews started to come in in large numbers.
Palestine's early Jewish Zionists were idealistic pioneers who arrived in
pre-state Israel with every intention of living in peace alongside their
Arab neighbors and upgrading the quality of life for all of the land's
inhabitants. These pre-Israel Zionists (and later,
Israelis) had tried to develop peacefully for the dual benefit of Jews and
Arabs in the land. But the Arab leadership always, starting in the earliest
days, took the low road of insisting that the only solution was for the Jews
to get out, even if that meant continued poverty and stagnation. When Arab
demands were not met, they always resorted to violence.
The vast majority of Arabs came to the area after these early Zionist
pioneers began draining the malaria-infested swamps (above
photo) and plowing the land! In doing so, these Jews created the economic
opportunities and medical availabilities which attracted Arabs from both
surrounding territories and far-away lands! In fact, over 90% of the Arabs
migrated there within the last one hundred years. Most of the Arabs in
"Palestine" were interlopers and squatters originating from Syria, Jordan,
Egypt, Iraq and other lands who simply took possession of pieces of land. So
much for their unfounded claims that they have been there since "time
immemorial!"
These Arabs came from disorganized collections of tribes with a tradition of
constantly terrorizing each other and trying to seize land from their
neighbors. Many of them were social outcasts and criminals who could not
find jobs in their own countries so they searched for their luck elsewhere.
Unfortunately, those Arab immigrants imported into the Holy Land their
age-old culture of terrorizing neighbors in order to seize land. In fact,
today's Arab "Palestinians", let by Arafat and his PLO (sanitized to the PA,
or Palestinian Authority...which is nothing more than A Network of Murderers
Masquerading As Government!) are still nothing more than street thugs,
bullies and 'Little Saddams' found elsewhere throughout most of the most
Arab world.
Yet while the returning Jews were highly motivated to restore the land,
the Arabs seethed with envy and hatred for they lacked both the leadership
to inspire and motivate them for they were, in fact, historical strangers to
this land! Unlike the Jews, those Arabs who immigrated there had no ancient
attachments to or historical memories of this homeland ... this ancient Land
of the JEWS!
The real problem facing those Arabs today is not the lack of a homeland.
The historical root-cause of their problem and frustration is the fact that
the countries they came from have not agreed to accept them back in. This is
why so many of them live, up until today, in refugee camps, in neighboring
Arab countries, lacking fundamental civil rights. In their frustration they
feel that the only hope and choice they have is to try and steal someone
else's country!
In Conclusion:
There was no "Arab Palestinian" history before the Arabs manufactured one
shortly after 1948, and then especially after the June 1967 Arab-Israeli
War! In an interview with the Dutch newspaper "Trau" (March 31, 1977), PLO
executive committee member Zahir Muhsein said, "The Palestinian people does
not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for
continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In
reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians,
Syrians and Lebanese.
Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the
existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that
we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people'
to oppose Zionism. It is also been a "conceptual" war for ownership of the
term "Palestinian" which has been transferred over to the Arabs whereas,
before 1967, "Palestine" has always been synonymous with Eretz Israel and
the Land of Israel.
Archeological sites to this very day continue to yield artifacts with
Hebrew writing, not some fictitious "Palestinian" or Arabic text!
The so-called "Palestinian" Arabs were simply then, as they are now, Arabs
no different culturally, historically or ethnically from other Arabs living
in any of the 24 Arab countries from which they emigrated. The suggestion
that the "Palestinians" are some sub-group of Arabs with their own unique
identity is pure fiction! Great propaganda... but still pure fiction! And
had not the Arabs continued to brainwash generation upon generation into
believing this HISTORICAL HOGWASH about some ancient "Arab Palestinian" ties
to the Holy Land, most could have gotten themselves a real life by now with
much less bloodshed and suffering for everyone concerned!

Remember: When we use their language (i.e. "West Bank" instead of
Judea-Samaria, "occupied territory" instead of liberated Jewish lands,
"settlements" instead of Jewish communities, "Palestinian" instead of Arab,
"Haram esh Sharif" instead of the Temple Mount, etc.), we are allowing them
to define the issues, create or distort history and control the debate.
GREED, PRIDE, ENVY!
The Arabs and/or Muslims of today control 22 nations... 99½ percent of
the ENTIRE Middle East land mass while Israel occupies only a 1/2 of 1
percent speck on this same map. But that's still too much land for the Arabs
to spare. They want it all. How often have we heard their familiar cry, "We
will fight to our last drop of blood for for every last grain of sand!" And
that is ultimately what all the fighting is about today. And no matter how
many land concessions the Israelis might make for "peace," it will never be
enough! Any peace treaty between Israel and the Arab world are ultimately
meaningless.
The most recent 1993 "Oslo Peace Accord" has brought nothing but homicidal
bombers into Israel. Even the Israeli-Egyptian and Israeli-Jordanian peace
treaties are holding on by a single thread and, if you were to read their
government-controlled newspapers, you'd think they were still at war with
Israel!
PEACE IS IMPOSSIBLE!
There's No More "Middle" in the Middle East
From the moment the Jewish People re-established sovereignty in their
ancient homeland, they sought genuine peace with all of their neighbors.
Unfortunately, their neighbors did not wish to share a peaceful existence
with them. They, like Bin Ladin today, felt that they had a religious
obligation to destroy the non-Arab/Muslim Jewish State (and, for that
matter, ALL non-Arab/Moslem governments in the world). The Arab campaign
against Israel is rooted not in any negotiable grievances but in a basic
opposition to the very existence of Jewish sovereignty in what they perceive
as THEIR Middle East! The ultimate intent of the Arabs is to separate out a
Jewish history from "Palestine"... and then to separate Israel from the face
of the Earth.
When the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) was formed in 1964, its
primary goal was to destroy Israel. After the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, their
goal became two-tracked: Either (1) destroy Israel outright (the same
pre-1967 goal) or (2) the creation of an Arab-Palestinian state to be used
as a launching pad from which to destroy Israel. Different strategies - same
ultimate goal... a state not along side Israel, but IN PLACE OF Israel.
It's really that simple!

The Question of Jerusalem
And the Temple Mount
Click Here for Maps and Photos of
East and West Jerusalem and the Old City
For over 3,300 years of history, Jerusalem has been a capital city for
only the Jewish People. Jews have always lived in Jerusalem, except when
they were massacred or driven out. There has, however, been a nearly
unbroken Jewish presence in Jerusalem for the past 1,600 years. And since
the early 1800's, the population of Jerusalem has been predominantly Jewish.
Even when the Jordanians captured and occupied Jerusalem from 1948-67, they
(the Jordanians) never sought to change it to their capital (replacing
Amman) nor make it the capital of all Arab-"Palestinian" people. Even during
the 19 years Jordan "occupied" most of Jerusalem, Arab leaders from other
Arab countries hardly ever bothered to visit this city! Only to the Jews
has Jerusalem ever held special meaning! The reality is that Jerusalem was
never an Arab capital and that it never was, until the Jews revitalized it,
a dusty provincial city that hardly played and economic, social or political
role.
Another myth deals with the issue of Jerusalem and its Temple Mount.
The myth is that Jerusalem is really an Arab city and that it is a central
focus of Islam. The truth is that the Arabs expressed very limited interest
in the Temple Mount before 1967 after the Six-Day War. Besides, Mecca and
Medina (both in Saudi Arabia) are Islam's holiest cities!
Islam's Holy(?) Koran mentions Mecca 2 or 3 (implied, but not actually
written) times. It mentions Medina 5 times. It never mentions Jerusalem and
with good reason. There is no historical evidence to suggest Mohammad ever
visited Jerusalem! And if he did visit Jerusalem, it could not have been
until 6 years after his death.
Therefore, the notion that Mohammed ascended to Heaven from a rock in
Jerusalem (today's Dome of the Rock) is even more ridiculous!
One more thing about Jerusalem in general and its Temple Mount in
particular. Jerusalem appears in the Jewish Bible 669 times and Zion (which
usually means Jerusalem, sometimes the Land of Israel) 154 times, or 823
times in all. The Christian Bible mentions Jerusalem 154 times and Zion 7
times. All told, in the Old Testament (the Hebrew
Bible) and the New Testament, the terms "Judah" or "Judea" appear 877 times,
and "Samaria" is used on 123 occasions.
Hold on to your hats, everybody. It gets even better. Upon closer look at
their Holy Koran, we have uncovered something quite amazing.
These Muslims may actually be more Jewish than Muslim! Get this...
the Koran mentions "Israel" [or "Israelites"] 47 times, "Jew" or "Jewish" 26
times! Even "Christian" or "Christians" gets 15 mentions!
OK, so maybe Mohammed just forget to mention "Jerusalem". Maybe he also
forgot to mention the Haram-esh-Sharif, their name for Judaism's Temple
Mount. Perhaps it was an honest oversight. That desert heat can do strange
things to one's brain. But surely "Palestine" is mentioned all through the
Koran. After all, the poo' poo' ancient "Palestinians"
go way back, right? WRONG. "Palestine" and "Palestinian" are nowhere to be
found. Perhaps that's because these so-called Arab "Palestinians" have
ancient historical roots going ALL THE WAY back to June 1967! So much for
the Arab, Muslim or "Palestinian" ancient religious or physical connections
to a single ounce of turf in the so-called "occupied" territories!
From 1948 to 1967, when East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount were
"occupied" by Jordanian Forces following the 1948-9 Arab-Israeli War,
Jerusalem itself was ignored by the Arab world. No Arab leader ever paid a
visit, not even to pray at the al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock (both
located on the JEWISH Temple Mount). Also noteworthy during this 19 year
period of Jordanian occupation' no Jews were allowed there... not that there
was much for them to see since the Arabs destroyed 58 of Jerusalem's Jewish
synagogues! Even the Arabs of "Palestine" placed so low a priority on
Jerusalem that the PLO's founding charter, the 1964 Palestinian National
Covenant, made no reference whatsoever to it. Only when the Jews recaptured
it after the
1967 "Six Day War" (initiated by the Arabs) did the Arab world SUDDENLY grow
very passionate about Jerusalem!
Can any Muslim in the world produce any credible evidence for their
connection to this holy site, other than Mohammed's dream? Believe it or
not, the one and only source for the Muslim's claim to Jerusalem and the
site of the Holy Temple, is a mention in the Koran of a dream that Mohammed
had about an unknown "place far away". Perhaps this "place far away" is the
site of the White House in Washington DC or a Nevada "chicken ranch?"
In truth, the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosques are just but two of
hundreds of thousands of Muslim mosques around the world.
Except for these two minor mosques, Jerusalem itself has no major Islamic
significance. In fact, far more Christian shrines are in Jerusalem than
Muslim ones!
When a Jew prays from anywhere in the world, he faces the Temple Mount in
Jerusalem. When a Moslem prays, even while IN Jerusalem, he faces Mecca,
Saudi Arabia (1,300 miles away due east!). So in many cases, even when a
Moslem is in Jerusalem, his "hind quarters" are facing these two Jerusalem
mosques! What does THIS tell you! And when Islamic suicide bombers try to
take apart Jerusalem piece by piece, what does THAT tell you!
