Are Palestinians the Indigenous People of Palestine?

[Locutus]

Abstract

Palestinians are not the Indigenous people of the Holy Land


The Palestinian narrative, which is now widely accepted as a fact of history around the world, is the result of a systematic indoctrination through propaganda.

The Palestinians are neither the "Indians" nor the "Africans" of the Holy Land:

* From the 12th century BCE until 135 CE Jews were the largest ethnic- religious group.

* From 135 CE until the 14th century the Helenistic population which was converted to Christianity during the 4th-5th century were the largest religious group.

* On the eve of the Ottoman conquest (1516) the population of the land west to the Jordan River numbered 120,000, mostly Muslim for the first time in history. But, the country was very densely populated.

* From the 16th century until the last decades of the 19th century the population numbered about 250,000.

* Most Palestinians immigrated to the Holy Land between the 19th and 20th centuries, during the Ottoman rule (1516 – 1918 ) and the British Mandate rule (1918 – 1948 ).

Most "Palestinians" have surnames which consist of the countries their ancestors came from.

Well I guess it's OK to murder them and steal the land then.

Their land? That land belonged to the Ottomans and then, after we defeated them in the Great War, the British, for 432 years (when it was part of Greater Syria). There has never been a Palestinian nation state.

Sorry about that, mate.

Methinks you should go back and read it again more carefully.

It's no wonder your economy is on the wane whilst ours outperforms the Western world when you can't read properly.

It's stupidity like that which is the reason the pro-"Palestinians" are ignorant of the history of that part of the world and just believe what they want to believe.

Um, the first civilisations in the ME were those started by Mesopotamians and Sumerians. And they were followed by the Egyptians. Jews were probably Mesopotamians that came to the area quite a bit later (around 1600 BCE).

And the Muslims arrived a lot later still.

You mean to say , they weren't the British Isrealites?

Actually, Islam is some 5 to 600 years younger than Christianity. But I was speaking in terms of regions, not religions.

Bravo sierra.

Palestine is likely the land of the Palestinians and before that the Philistines.
How many recall the account of Abraham and his slave girl Hagar? Abe's wife
was ticked about the child.and he had to cast her out into the desert.
Both Arabs and Israelis regard Abraham the father of their race. Therefore
like it or not the Arabs and the Hebrews or the Jews are actually cousins.
This is really a family quarrel over a illegitimate child and a night of hanky panky.
and no one wants to admit that.

Took an Englishman to run the Bank of Canada between 1987 and 1994.

Actually, Islam is some 5 to 600 years younger than Christianity.

And about 2000 years younger than Judaism. The Jews were in the geographical region known as Palestine long before th Muslims.
