it was not a "country", never was, and "advanced", what nonsense.

Illustrative: Hitler hosts Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini in 1941 in Germany. (Heinrich Hoffmann Collection/Wikipedia) The following is an official German record of the meeting between Adolf Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, on November 28, 1941, at the Reich Chancellory in Berlin. (Source: Documents on German Foreign Policy 1918-1945, Series D, Vol XIII, London, 1964.) GRAND MUFTI: The Grand Mufti began by thanking the Fuhrer for the great honor he had bestowed by receiving him. He wished to seize the opportunity to convey to the Fuhrer of the Greater German Reich, admired by the entire Arab world, his thanks of the sympathy which he had always shown for the Arab and especially the Palestinian cause, and to which he had given clear expression in his public speeches.

@shainazion4073 Yes, 20% of Israel are Arab, full citizens, and sit on the Knesset. Show me something comparable in the Arab world.

Between 1880s and 1920 Jews were in the Majority in Jerusalem. After WW1 and the British mandate, people rushed in from the areas once controlled by the now defeated Ottomans, including many Armenians who also took up arms against the Jews. There's no mention of the new and diverse area built in West Jerusalem, or the 1920 pogrom against the Jews kicked off by Amin al-Husayni and Musa al-Husayni. Bad video, bad history.

Soviet style, cold-war era propaganda in the region started by Abdul Nasser. How do you live a lie for many generations and then turn to the truth. Palestinians must face it.

@mariaavery1212 History shows Jews majority in Jerusalem from the 1880s to 1920, and there before Islam was created in the 7th Century. The Temple was not built on top of al-Aqsa, you've got it backwards. The name "Palestine" was given to the region by the Romans as a dig to the Jewish Kingdom of the Jews. What does your research say about that?

@sands7779 Jews majority in Jerusalem in 1920 when the pogroms began by Amin al-Husayni and Musa al-Husayni. WW1 brought many refugees into the area, including thousands of Armenians fleeing Muslim genocide. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem entered into a secret agreement with Hitler in 1941 to exterminate the Jews and support a pan-Arab land. Hitler lost. There are consequences to losing wars, and allying with the wrong side. Time to move on.
