Exposing Palestinian Myth - Peter Baum


Bsd



In previous posts I have exposed various myths regarding the anthropological miracle of the so called Palestinians. 
It is abundantly apparent that -
a)not  one historical Palestinian or Fellastinian individual of fame nor profile could be identified for the period 3000 BC till 1964 nor
b) were there any records during this period ( 3000 BC to 1964 ) of any wars or battles fought by Palestinians or Fellastinians against foreign invaders ( Romans, Umayaads, Byzantines, Persians , Crusaders, Kurds, Ottomans ) in an attempt to 'regain' captured Jerusalem or 'Palestine'. I guess the Palestinians were not around during these 4964 years but miraculously appeared in 1964 with the help of the KGB.
Moreover, given the religious claims the 'Palestinians ' have over their beloved Jerusalem and the geographical land mass they believe has been their homeland since time immemorial it is indeed ironic, bewildering and astonishing to say the least that that the words -
Canaan ( which is where the Palestinians now tell everyone they originate from ) , Israel ( the land not the people ), Judea, Jerusalem nor Palestine are ever mentioned in the Koran. Never not once!!
Palestinians 'love' Jerusalem so much that they turn their backs on Jerusalem when praying in contempt . This originated when the prophet Mohammed ordered the slaughter of Jews who having converted to Islam ( to avoid taxes  - it was not permitted for Muslims to tax other Muslims ) secretly maintained their Judaism. The prophet thereafter also ordered Muslims change their direction of prayer in contempt for the holy city of Judaism, Jerusalem.
We are also told that Mohammed ascended to heaven from the Furthest Mosque - apparently located in Jerusalem. This is simply historically impossible as he died in 636 and the Mosque in Jerusalem was not built until 715 !!
Lastly and this is worthy of further debate . The Koran bequeaths the Holy Land to the  Children of Israel ( sura 5.21) . Any Muslim who is fighting for this land ( the Palestinians) are in total defiance of the Koran . Many pragmatic Imams who recognise this fact are suggesting that the current turmoil in the Muslim world , the violence and the Shi'a , Sunni divisions is directly related to the Palestinian claim on Jerusalem in total defiance and indeed mocking the Koran.
Ironically when Jordan had control of Jerusalem 1948 - 1967,  they moved and located all Government offices to Amman to dilute the importance of Jerusalem. Furthermore not one Arab Head of State visited Jerusalem while under Jordanian occupation. Thus further myths exposed - Jerusalem is not and has never been important to Islam. I repeat it is NEVER mentioned in the Koran. Therefore you will not be surprised to learn that it was NEVER mentioned in the PLO charter of 1964! So surely this alone proves that Jerusalem is only important forArab  greed of land and not for religion.
There are numerous historical quotations verifying the unimportance of  Jerusalem to Islam and the myth of the ' indigenous Palestinians ' to the land mass. I have selected just some listed below.
Other evidence debunking the ' indigenous Palestinian ' myth are the writings of various travellers throughout history - Gunner Edward Webbe , 1590, Thackeray 1844 , James Finn 1857, Mark Twain 1867, BWJohnson 1892, none of whom wrote of any Palestinian presence.The photographic evidence of Leo Kahn in 1912 verifies an absence of a Palestinian culture / people. Here below are some relevant historical quotes proving that Palestinians are a fiction. Today's Palestinians are simply an amalgamation of mainly Arab Muslims from surrounding countries morphed into political parties all with a Nazi manifesto.

  Ibn Taymiyyah 1263 - 1328 , one of Islams foremost historical scholars wrote ..' In Jerusalem there is not a place one calls sacred and the same holds true for the tombs of Hebron'.
The other myth that we have recently exposed is the numerical absurdity of Palestinian refugees. To remind ourselves, the current narrative is that in 1948 there were 700,000 Palestinian refugees forcibly removed from their homes by the Zionists and now in 2018 and a 'genocide' committed by the Israelis on them  there are now 7 million Palestinians.
Human reproduction records have been blown out of the water by the sex craved, abundantly productive Palestinian women. If British women could reproduce at the same rate the population of London would be 85 million and the population of the UK would be 740 million . Similarly the population of New York City would be 120 million ! And all that without a genocide!  Both the original and current refugee figures have been grossly exaggerated for political purposes but seem to go unchallenged by both the media and our Parliamentary representatives. Moreover there is sufficient evidence to verify the majority of Arabs entered Palestine on the back of Zionist economic growth and were never indigenous to the area. 
Tewlik Bey El Houran, Governor of Houran Province in Southern Syria stated in an interview with La Syne August 12th 1934, 'that in the last few months 30000 to 36000 Syrians had entered and settled in Palestine.
Interestingly there is an enormous amount of evidence which contradicts the Palestinian narrative about forceful removal by Zionists. Below are just a selection of articles / essays  which run counter to the volley of lies spewed out over decades by Palestinians and their anti semitic  and intellectually backward supporters. 

-  Emile Ghoury , Secretary of the Palestinian Arab Higher Commission in an interview with the Beirut Telegraph Sept. 6 1948 ......'The Arab State which had encouraged the Palestine Arabs to leave their homes temporarily in order to be out of the way of the Arab invasion armies. have failed to keep their promises to help refugees '

- The Jordanian daily newspaper Falestin Feb. 19 1949 .....'Who brought the Palestinians to Lebanon as refugees , suffering now from the malign attitude of newspapers and communal leaders, who have neither honor nor conscience? Who brought them over in dire straits and penniless after they lost their honor? The Arab States and Lebanon amongst them did it'.

- The Beirut Muslim weekly, Kul-Shay , Aug. 19 1951......'The 15th May 1848 arrived...on that day the Mufti of Jerusalem appealed to the Arabs of Palestine to leave the country because the Arab armies were about to enter and fight in their stead'.

- The Cairo daily Akhbar el Yom, Oct. 2 1963.....'For the fight and fall of other villages it is our leaders who are responsible because of their dissemination of rumours exaggerating Jewish crimes and describing them as atrocities in order to inflame the Arabs....By spreading rumours of Jewish atrocities, killings of women and children etc. they instilled fear and terror in the hearts of the Arabs in Palestine until they fled, leaving  their homes and properties '

- The Jordanian daily newspaper Al Urdub April 9 1963 editorial stated -
...'I could go on and on with this forgotten or deliberately obscured history. But you get the point. There was no Jewish conspiracy to chase Arabs out of their homes in 1948. It never happened. There are instead plenty of historical records showing the Jews pleading with their Arab neighbours to stay and live in peace and harmony. Yet, despite the clear unambiguous words of the Arab observers at the time, history has been successfully rewritten to turn the Jews into the bad guys'.

- Joseph Farah, Arab historian and journalist - 'The worlds collective amnesia ' Sept. 19 2002 is a masterpiece of investigative detection which far more elegantly and eloquently exposes the Palestinian myth in 'Myths of the Middle East'.
'There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians - another recent invention , Syrians, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 per cent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one tenth of one per cent of the land mass. But that's too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what fighting Israel is about today...no matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough'.

These historical , recorded articles are evidence enough but what is even  more interesting perhaps is the fact that none of the Arab journalists  or historians  refer to the displaced people  as Palestinians . They are   called Arabs .The genre 'Palestinians ' did not exist. The truth is that circa 70 % of Arabs who left in 1948 - and truthful estimates are around 250,000 to 300,000 , never saw an Israeli soldier. Elmo Hutchison an American pro Arab diplomat on the U.N. Security Council was the most incompetent source of such information during the initial period and even his 300,000 figure of refugees was almost certainly overstated because of his pro Arab agenda.The Arab States initiated the war and never accepted responsibility despite their enormous wealth , to assimilate their Muslim refugee brothers in largely under populated Arab nations.  The Arab public relations machine has been hugely successful in blaming this international tragedy on the Jews and the charade continues to this day. The suffering of the Arab refugees is perpetuated only for political purposes by the Arab States. As at the time of writing it is apparent that this farce  is being gradually challenged politically. The Palestinians have been used as pawns to destroy Israel . After WW2 there were some 100 million refugees - all bar the Arab refugees have been successfully integrated and millions of Jews , ethnically cleansed from Arab States have been absorbed into tiny Israel. It is a geo political and human absurdity to expect Israel to solve a refugee problem it did not create.
Now here comes the sweetest part of my essay - almost orgasmic for someone of my political ideology. There exists further  historical evidence , reconfirming such articles highlighted above that totally debunks the Palestinian narrative. And it comes not from rabidly obsessed Zionist fanatics but from Arabs, Islamists, and former and reformed enemies of the Jewish State .

Abd al -Mahdi , Arab Ambassador  before the Peel Commission 1937 ..
'There is no such land as Palestine. It is a term invented by ZIONISTS ( capital;s intended ) . There is no Palestine in the Koran. Our land was for hundreds of years part of Syria'.

Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian 1946 'There is no such thing as Palestine, absolutely  no such thing'.

Ahmad Shukan 1956 Arab League Ambassador to the UN -  'Such a creature as Palestine  does not exist at all. This land is nothing but the southern portion of greater Syria'.

Zuhair Mushin, member of the PLO Executive Council 1967  - ' There are no differences between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanes. We are all part of one nation. It is only for political purposes that we carefully underline our Palestinian identity..yes the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian State is a new tool in the continuing battle against Zionism'.

Hafez Assad , ex Syrian Dictator to the PLO - ' You do not represent Palestine as much as we do. Never forget this one point. There is no such thing as a Palestinian entity or people.There is only Syria.'.

Walid Shoebat , a former PLO terrorist stated  - ' Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian ?. We did not mind Jordanian rule. The teaching of the destruction of Israel was a definite part of the curriculum, but we considered ourselves Jordanian. Then all of a sudden we were Palestinian - they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag. When I finally realized the lies and myths I was taught, it is my duty as a righteous person to speak out'.

Fathi Hmad , Hamas Minister of the Interior and head of National Security on Al Hakma TV , March 23 2012 , in an abortive attempt to appeal to Egyptian donors.
' ...every Palestinian in Gaza and throughout Palestine can prove his Arab roots - whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen , from anywhere. So where is your affection and mercy? We have blood ties. Personally all my family is Egyptian. We are like that, brothers. Half of the Palestinians are Egyptians the other half Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Misr who have roots from Egypt. They may be from Alexandria or Cairo , from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians Arabs Muslims'.

Isn't it too the irony of all ironies that in the mother tongue of the Palestinians which is Arabic , there is no sound for the letter P !!! Why therefore do the Palestinians call themselves a name they cannot the pronounce? Oh they will answer- we call ourselves in Arabic Fellastinians. Research verifies that Fellastinian is Arabic for Philistinians who became extinct in 1200 bc and came from the Greek Islands and parts of Asia Minor. Perhaps the Palestinians should claim Corfu or Crete as their capital. 
Isn't it also ironic that the Palestinian name is more relevant to Jews. The Anglo Palestine Bank ( now Bank Leumi ), the Palestine Post, ( now the Jerusalem Post) and the Palestine Wine Company ( now Palwins ). Even pre and post war postage stamps from Palestine show Jewish emblems.

Religiously and historically there is no justification for a Palestinian State. Legally there is no such claim either but this is subject to another separate post as it is rather boring and complex.Suffice it to say that the San Remo Treaty, 1920, the Treaty of Sevres 1920, Anglo American Boundary Convention 1924, The League Of Nations Covenant 1922, U.N. Charter Article 80, 1945 , the South West African Treaty 1966 , The Vienna Convention 1969 and the Court Of  Versailles Ruling 2014 are all the International Legal rulings permitting Israel's land mass to be three times the current size. Moreover, the international Legal principles of Estoppel and Acquired Rights confirm all of those rulings and Treaties I have listed. No U.N. Resolution stops , limits or dilutes any of the above . 
There is a very simple way to expose any errors in my essay regarding the narrative of the indigenous Palestinians from time immemorial whose land has been stolen by Zionists. Just give me the names of indigenous Palestinians- not families who from their names originated from other surrounding countries. Or give me the names of any wars or battles Palestinians fought against invaders from time immemorial to 1947. And the names of their leader!!!
