Post-Post-Post History Disinformation

The ultimate in propaganda disinformation:

...the Palestinians? Their story is so rarely explained without disinformation that it still seems startling when it is stated plainly. Until 1948, the Palestinians were living in their own homes, on their own land – until they were suddenly driven out in a war to make way for a new state for people fleeing a monstrous European genocide. They lived huddled and dazed in the 20 per cent of their land they were allowed to keep. They hardly fought back: they wept and dreamed of return. Then in the 1967 war, even these small strips were conquered with tanks and platoons.


a) there were no "Palestinians" until the early 1920s when the attempt of the Arabs of what is now Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel sought to establish the Monarchy of Greater Syria under Feisal.

b) the name "Palestine" is Roman and not Arabic.

c) it never was "their own land" in a national sense but only as private property and even that not as it was conquered and occupied in 638.

d) they weren't "suddenly" anything. Starting in 1920 they tried to violently expel Jews from their homes, engaging in a three decade attempt at ethnic cleansing, notably in Safad, Hebron, Gaza, Shchem, Jenin and Jerusalem's Old City, locations where Jews had been residing for centuries.

e) the reconstitution of a Jewish national home was decided upon by the world's most supreme legal authority at the time: the League of Nations in 1922, following the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the 1919 Peace Conferences at Versailles and the 1920 San Remo Conference.

f) the homes they loss was do to the war of aggression the Arabs launched in December 1947, rejecti8ng the Partition Plan.

g) the huddling they did was due to the Arab countries who refused to absorb refugees, unlike Israel which took in over a million within 5 years.

h) they did more than "hardly fight back". The fedayeen, the Fatah, the PLO, the Popular Front, etc. - "Palestinian terrorists" all.

i) the 1967 conquest needn't have occurred if not for Arab terror and urging war.


This is getting tiring.
