@Advocate,
Quote:Palestinians are new to the area, which is the homeland of the Jews.
The Palestinians have been in Palestine for millennia.
Quote:It was only after the Jews re-inhabited their historic homeland of Judea and Samaria, that the myth of an Arab Palestinian nation was created and marketed worldwide. Jews come from Judea, not Palestinians.
"The Jews" who immigrated to Palestine to create the state of Israel were Europeans whose historic homeland was Europe, silly religious mythologies notwithstanding. Later, Persians, Arabs, North Africans and other peoples who also professed the Jewish religion--or, at least, whose forefathers had professed Judaism--immigrated to Palestine as well.
Quote:There is no language known as Palestinian, or any Palestinian culture distinct from that of all the Arabs in the area. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. "Palestinians" are Arabs indistinguishable from Arabs throughout the Middle East. The great majority of Arabs in greater Palestine and Israel share the same culture, language and religion.
All of this, of course, does not negate the fact that Palestinians have been in Palestine for millennia.
More importantly, it certainly does not negate the fact that the Palestinians have rights to Palestine that are being violated by the state of Israel.
Quote:Much of the Arab population in this area actually migrated into Israel and Judea and Samaria from the surrounding Arab countries in the past 100 years.
That population came from nearby areas which were homogeneous with the populations in Palestine.
Much of the population in Palestine was indigenous.
Quote:The rebirth of Israel was accompanied by economic prosperity for the region. Arabs migrated to this area to find employment and enjoy the higher standard of living. In documents not more than hundred years, the area is described as a scarcely populated region. Jews by far were the majority in Jerusalem over the small Arab minority. Until the Oslo agreement the major source of income for Arab residents was employment in the Israeli sector. To this day, many Arabs try to migrate into Israel with various deceptions to become a citizen of Israel.
This is irrelevant in regard to the assertion that Palestinians are new to the area. What's more, this does not negate the fact that the Palestinians have rights which the state of Israel is violating.
Quote:Even the Chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Arafat himself, is not a "Palestinian". He was born in Egypt. The famous "Palestinian covenant" states that Palestinians are "an integral part of the Arab nation" -- a nation which is blessed with a sparsely populated land mass 660 times the size of tiny Israel (Judea, Samaria and Gaza included).
And Ben Gurion, Yitzhak Shamir, Menachem Begin, etc, etc, were all born in Europe. So what?
Again, this is irrelevant in regard to the assertion that Palestinians are new to the area. What's more, this does not negate the fact that the Palestinians have rights which the state of Israel is violating.
Quote:All attempts to claim Arab sovereignty over Israel of today, should be seen with their real intention: The destruction of Israel as a Jewish state and the only bulwark of the Judeo-Christian Western civilization in the Middle East.
Yet again, this paranoid and bigoted non sequitur is also irrelevant in regard to the assertion that Palestinians are new to the area, and does not negate the fact that the Palestinians have rights which the state of Israel is violating.
