They came in waves of different origin, too.

@androide-centynela Israel is not majority Europeans, it was not "given". A Jewish Legion fought for the land in WW1 alongside the British. "Semite", in what context? Are the 400,000 Yemenite Jews of Israel not semitic? Do they not now have autonomy or sovereignty? Same for the almost 50% Mizrahi Jews in Israel. So what if a minority of kinsman had the resources to help establish this sovereignty, this protective nation/state. The joke holds no truth, so is not funny.

@PatrickTengmusic ??? Oren says Jerusalem not mentioned in the Qur'an. Says text found from 2,700 years ago. How is that "twisted"? Don't just read the title.
28
"thinking" started in 1916 when Arabs declared victory over their former ally, the Ottoman Turk. They discount the Jewish Legion who also fought with the British in WW1. This is more a political struggle than a religious one.

@androide-centynela Check out the DNA of Abd al-Rahman III, 8th Emir of Córdoba in the 10th Century, beard so blonde he had to paint it black. Mom and Grand-Mom blue eyed blondes from Gaul. Check the DNA of the current king and queen of Jordan. LOL

"Given", the Jewish Legion fought alongside the British in WW1 against the Ottoman Turk, just like the Arabs.

@idonuttylikezenorship4547 Only the Roman map, which only lasted a few hundred more years, and while most Jews were expelled from Jerusalem for a short time, they never fully left the region.

@danirm1171 YES! This first wave of return started in the 1840s from North Africa, read this: Tel Aviv: One city, three origin stories By Ayala Melo

Great story, my Grand-Father in America did same, and every year from California raised the toast "Next Year in Jerusalem", a toast with origin in medieval Europe. Odessa is closer to Jerusalem than Oman.

@Daniper1 Yes, I tell people here in America Israel has a mostly secular education system and laws which protect religious freedom, although there are special laws which protect Jews right of return, along with certain responsibilities' to serve, but it is still the only liberal democracy in the region. However, the story is not told well here, and even some American Jews sometimes don't believe me.

@1czechit1 130,000 Arabs stayed in 1948, now 1.6 million and 21% of Israeli citizens. Many Arabs have many "titles" in Israeli, including as members of the Supreme Court, one who convicted and imprisoned the former PM of Israel, Ehud Olmert. Show me the comparable in the region.

@donhue4546 You mean G-D or GOD? In either case, not a priority for me in this struggle, which is born from the European goal of nation/state building and the end of the Ottoman Empire in WW1. Both the Jews and Arabs fought with the British for the land. Only the Arabs did not want to share. They are racists, and use religion as a secondary weapon, something we Jews often use, too. In any case, the struggle to me is primarily political. When Arafat said in 1999/2000 that Solomon's Temple was a Zionist Fantasy, that was not a religious statement, but one of politics.

@freeto9139 Welcome To The Tachi-Yokut Tribe The Indians of the San Joaquin Valley were known as Yokuts. The word "Yokuts" mean people. The Yokuts were divided into true tribes. Each had a name, a language, and a territory. We believe the tribe along with others belonged to the first groups that settled in California. They are called the seed-gatherers because they did no farming at all in the days before Columbus. Their main food was acorns. The Yokuts also ate wild plants, roots, and berries. They hunted deer, rabbits, prairie dogs, and other small mammals and birds.

@jessereichbach588 the usage is clear, in dictionaries all over the world, but a poor choice as it turns out. We have word meaning issues all over the place. Saying Arabs are a semitic people tpo is just deflection, a form of taqiyya.

@donhue4546 Politics. Since the 17th Century, we've mostly lived in a framework of nation/state sovereignty laid out by the Westphalian agreements, the precursor to both the League of Nations and now the United Nations. Zionism vs Pan-Arabism is a political struggle which some Arabs attempted to solve by war.

Islam says Jesus did not die on the cross, that the Romans and Pharisees were tricked by "The Best Deceiver" al-lah. Taqiyya, it is written.

@ceosonicsolutions8693 Yes, all things being equa,l that can be true. Here in America it was the other way around, first were the Sephardi who looked down on the Germans and Hungarian Jews, then when the Russian and Polish Jews arrived the others were both horrified, then, in the 1970s, when former Soviet Jews arrived it happened again. It's human, but we didn't kill each other over it.

@ivanivandic9673 no khasars, that's myth.

Even in the Americas, a group like the Aztecs are not "indigenous" to what is now Mexico. Their origin story, Aztlan, has them coming from the north to take the land, which they did, from another group, the Tlaxcala, who still hate the "Mexica " Aztecs. If ever you are in the region near the Yucatan, careful not to call someone there a "Mexican", they won't like it.

One of the prominent Jewish architects from 10th-century Cordoba was Hasdai ibn Shaprut. He was a notable figure in the court of Abd-ar-Rahman III, the Caliph of Cordoba. Hasdai ibn Shaprut was involved in architectural projects in the city, contributing to its renowned cultural and architectural legacy during the Islamic Golden Age in Spain. His multi-faceted talents reflect the intellectual and cultural richness of Cordoba during that period.

@David99356 It has political status, which was its original intent. Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan was Sunni Bedouin, born in Medina. It marked conquest territory. strictly political.

@Coachesvision Did they tell you the Nazis invaded France, Hitler toured Paris, and the free French were in Exile?

@Coachesvision In 2002, Berber was finally recognized as a nationality — but not officially, allowing it to be taught as a second language in some Berber areas. Its recognition as an official language only came with constitutional reforms in 2016. Berber New Year was celebrated as an official feast day for the first time on Jan. 12, 2018. Morocco is home to the world’s largest Berber community.

@bandanakabana4494 Jacob, he who wrestles with G_d. Wrestle=Israel. Jacob/Israel's people were known as Israelites, the people who wrestle with G_d. Israel is a people who inhabited a place now known as Israel.

@bandanakabana4494 Fun fact, Golda Meir was a Palestinian before she was an Israeli. Said so on her passport. She liked to mention that on occasion.

@leetee3207 It's deeper than that, he's got a troubling emotional connection to trauma through his mother and perhaps why he takes this inverted view of history.

@Morn__ No, the Romans expelled the Jews from Rome, I'd say they had a hand, and the Egyptians are a close second, about 800 years before that. Your timeline is a bit short.

Mate was born in 1944, how do you feel about him claiming to be a Holocaust Survivor? As a mental health professional, what do you think about his "attachment" to his mother and her actual experience as a Holocaust Survivor? I want to add, as an American familiar with Canadian history, his statement that Canadians are unaware of the Residential School abuses is incorrect, it's taught in school, and popular movies and documentaries have been made about the abuse. My impression is that something connected to his mother is motivating his flight from reality.

@AndreasFroehliPoker Yes, they just said NO. Read this, it's online: Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921.

Was Herod Jewish?
2
@strigoiu13 "area"? I was specifically speaking of East Jerusalem, which was majority Jewish at the end of the Ottoman Empire, "Area", perhaps 8-12% under Ottoman rule. Guess why? By the late 19th century, the Ottoman Empire had an estimated Jewish population of 300,000–450,000. However, by 2002, demographer Sergio DellaPergola estimated that the Jewish population of Turkey, was between 15,500–21,000. "Ethnic Cleansing"?

@NewOldResearch Check the DNA of Abd-ar-Rahman III, Emir of Cordoba in the 10th Century. Blonde hair, blue eyes, red beard he painted black to look more Arab since his mother and grandmother were Christians from Gaul.
2
Yes, 22 Arab league states with 450 Million, One Jewish state will less than 10 million. Some perspective.
2
@deguilhemcorinne418 Agree, as I've done much research on Amin and clan. Most don't know he was a convicted terrorist before being made Grand Mufti by the Brits. But he was not alone, but part of a clan or tribe who sought sovereignty for themselves over another Arab clan. 1920 Jerusalem riots turned the traditional rivalry between the Husseini and Nashashibi clans into a serious rift, with long-term consequences for al-Husseini and Palestinian nationalism. The "fear" was losing any land to a Jewish majority state. I understand the fear of European Jews. They had better resources and education than them. The fear was justified, the violence was not. Imagine today, Qatar and Israel working with Gazans to turn the 42 miles of Cote d' Azur into a paradise.
2
@sterling557 Yes, the Berbers are living a nightmare under the control of an Islamic state, but they did ally with the Arabs in the takeover of Southern Iberia.
2
@bandanakabana4494 yes, didn't I write that? "Those who wrestle with G_d", and of the land, just as the Greeks wrote about.
2
@bandanakabana4494 Good question, and I imagine you thought about it. Many answers. One answer is Israel is the result of the 17th Century Westphalian agreements, which first established sovereignty for much of Europe. The Levant did not sign on then, but did to subsequent sovereignty frameworks like the League of Nations and United Nations. Israel is a modern nation/state within this framework and definition of sovereignty, just as Jordan is. Is Jordan a people or a country?
2
@bandanakabana4494 In good faith, I want what's best for all in the region. The Gaza strip has 42 miles of coastline on the Cote d' Azur. If Qatar and Israel worked together, they could turn it into a paradise in under a decade. However, this narrative I'd like you to read, which is over 100 years old, is still all pervasive in the Arab world.

@bandanakabana4494 Really, you might want to check out how the British created Jordan.Too bad they backed Hussein instead of Ibn Saud, Saud ended up with the oil and the Americans. "Settler Colonialism" is a trope out of the Marxist playbook taught by the Soviets to liberation nationalists post-WW2. Lots of nasty stuff came out of that, including Libya and genocide all over Africa and Asia. Abbas, the PA leader, even got his PhD equivalent in Moscow. The stale Soviet dialectic has to end, too. It's failed everywhere it has been evoked, including Egypt. I'm dealing with a brand of "settler colonialism" myself here in California. In the town my parents were born in the early 1920s, over 100 years ago, they rarely speak English anymore. Some say it's a "return" to a homeland called Aztlan. The majority population in Israel is not European, but just so you know, Odessa is closer to Jerusalem than Oman.
2
@bandanakabana4494 You can google it, she had a passport in 1921 as a "Palestinian" and one in 1949 then said "Israeli" fact check ok by me. As I said, Odessa is closer to Jerusalem that Oman. Some of my family actually walked there in the 19th century.

@bandanakabana4494 Soviet-era propaganda often portrayed settler colonialism, particularly in the context of Western powers, as a tool of imperialism and exploitation. The Soviet Union used various mediums, including posters, literature, and films, to condemn colonialism and depict it as a form of oppression and injustice. Here are some common themes and messages found in Soviet-era propaganda regarding settler colonialism: 1. **Exploitation of Indigenous Peoples**: Soviet propaganda frequently highlighted the exploitation and suffering of indigenous peoples under settler colonial rule. Images and narratives depicted indigenous populations being displaced from their lands, forced into labor, and subjected to cultural assimilation. 2. **Imperialist Aggression**: Settler colonialism was portrayed as a manifestation of imperialist aggression by Western powers. The Soviet Union emphasized the expansionist motives behind colonial endeavors, framing them as part of a broader strategy to dominate and exploit territories and peoples. 3. **Resistance and Liberation**: Soviet propaganda often celebrated the resistance efforts of indigenous peoples against settler colonialism. It portrayed them as heroic figures fighting against oppression and colonial rule. The Soviet Union supported various anti-colonial movements around the world and depicted them as allies in the struggle against imperialism. 4. **Solidarity with Colonized Peoples**: Soviet propaganda aimed to foster solidarity with colonized peoples by highlighting shared struggles against imperialism. The Soviet Union positioned itself as a champion of decolonization and supported independence movements in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 5. **Critique of Capitalism**: Settler colonialism was frequently depicted as a product of capitalist exploitation and inequality. Soviet propaganda emphasized the role of capitalist interests in driving colonial expansion and portrayed socialism as a progressive alternative that prioritized social justice and equality. Overall, Soviet-era propaganda on settler colonialism sought to delegitimize colonial practices, condemn Western imperialism, and promote the idea of national liberation and self-determination for colonized peoples.

@tyrisnolam Yes, as our tourist guide says, Jew and Zionist used interchangeably. So it is documented proof in an official report in 1921. I wasn't proving him "wrong", but correct. Oren might include how Hajj Amin was "awarded" the Mufti position by the British, and that it was not just a religious position, but also a political one. He also knows about the inter-tribal Arab conflict going on at the time. I wish he'd go into the Hashemite vs Ibn Saud war over the Hejaz.
2
"seems like"? Try and learn more, even about your own town. In 1897, Hellman bought a large parcel of land next to Lake Tahoe where he built a mansion in 1903. He named it Pine Lodge after the sugar pines on the property. His family later sold this land to the state of California, which made the property into Sugar Pine Point State Park

@androide-centynela Japan is a nation/state, it does not currently have a national religion, and an occidental can be Japanese by citizenship. Article 20 of the 1947 Japanese Constitution states: "Freedom of religion is guaranteed to all. No religious organization shall receive any privileges from the State, nor exercise any political authority. No person shall be compelled to take part in any religious act, celebration, rite or practice.

7 Arab countries: Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen Benny Morris writes not all were "into it" and at different times had few significant troops. Iraqis were already in the fight in 1947, some at Deir Yassin in April 1947. What you describe is one story, there are perhaps 3 main narratives. Some say Arab leaders ran away to Beirut while calling on others to fight, some say Arab radio told them to leave, temporarily, until we win. It's a mixed bag, and as Oren has told us, 160,000 remained and now number 1.9 million. 21% of Israeli population are Arab. None comparable in the 22 Arab league states.
1
@ME-ot2ce Absolutely, Oren has a massive bias, and so do many of his sources. I don't just take things as they are. Here's a primary source. There is NO BIAS from Jews, it's all ARAB bias. Read it online in its original english translation, just as Churchill read it, you can, too.

@RocketGator05 Ethiopian Jewish population in Israel has grown since their initial immigration, they have a higher birth rate than average. Same claims of "sterilization" made here in the United States against Planned Parenthood. It was Arab and Ottoman slave trade of Africans which included mandatory Eunuch mutilation and sterilization. Fact check it.
1
@brindanlasten7073 Yes, it is an indo-European word of Greek origin, the Romans loved all things Greek, and used their words. "Pale" in ancient Greek means "to wrestle" or "the place of wrestling" Israel also means "wrestle". possible connection just speculation on my part. However, why would a people who use a semitic language, one that doesn't even have a letter "P" or a "P" sound, take on a name given to a region by a Western Imperial Power?
1
@juliannaruffini "they", who is "they"?
1
@Sommste Ah, I posted this question 6-months ago. Drew the same conclusion, but have found no direct references. I need them Jacob wrestled with the angel, not sure he "won", but g_d name him Israel, and his people became known as the Israelites in that land. That is the story. Love to find evidence of the connection between the greek word and Israel.
1
@juliannaruffini agreed, but what is your point?
1
@juliannaruffini Jews never left the region, were persecuted by both Christians and Muslims, cleansed from many cities like Safed and Hebron. The point of a nation/state, when framed in the Westphalian agreements which led to the UN, was sovereignty for a people. Jews would never had sovereign rights in that region without a nation/state. Same reason the Hashemites wanted a nation/state which is called Jordan. Even have a King, which really has little historical foundation. Why the double standard?
1
@juliannaruffini "international law"? UN 181, and the first attacks on international law by the fedayeen in the early 1950s which never ended?
1
@Sommste thanks. I made the connection myself while researching origin of the word Palestine, Palesteen, Palestina. I already knew the origin of the word Israel. It's also clear there is no "P" in Arabic but there is one in Hebrew. Thanks again. I thought I was the only one making the connection.

@Humanity101-zp4sq Americans are grossly ignorant, too. We first except good faith interaction, but we catch on, eventually to not "irony", but cynicism and the nihilism of Europeans. I have a French paper edition of Sartre's "NAUSEA", something infecting America these days, but I push against it.

@farfiman Sure, a state in a confederation of States in a country called 'Greater Syria" like the United 50 States of America. Yes, that's Pan-Arabism. There are 22 Arab states in the League. Regardless, that "Greater Syria" did not accept a Jewish majority state in the region. That's racism, and very odd Western leftists align with that brand of racism? Also odd, why would they want a "Greater Syria along the borders created by Roman conquers and then the Ottoman Empire? This is not Arab history, but Western History?
1
@bobterry990 This is a report "TO" Churchill, not from him, It's the Arabs who bring up the issue of Bolshevism, which is not entirely unfounded. The report, if you read it, shares much of its rhetoric with today's Palestinians, and shows a consistent point of view; only Jews willing to subjugate themselves to Muslim rule are welcome. Dhimmi status.

Hejaz-Nejd War, was a campaign engaged by Saudi Sultan Abdulaziz to take over the Hashemite Kingdom of Hejaz in 1924–25, the Saudis won Mecca and Medina, as a consolation prize, the British gave Jordan and Iraq to the Hashemites. Yes, both Jordan and Iraq were colonial states created by the British. In 1967 the Hashemites lost Jerusalem, too.

Both the Jordanian and Palestinian flag are symbols of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turk, Pan-Arabism, the BLACK, WHITE, GREEN represent the three Caliphates and the RED chevron the unity of the three. The Jordanian flag has a 7-Pointed Star on the red hoist chevron, it stands for the seven verses of al-fatiha in the Qur'an. During the Ottoman Empire’s rule, the region flew a plain red flag with a five-pointed white star and a crescent moon. The Ottomans ruled the region until the First World War when the Arab Revolt overthrew them in 1916. The young Arabs designed a flag that represented their aspirations in a Turkish-dominated empire. The Arab Revolt used a black-green-white horizontal tricolor flag, which had a red triangle at the hoist to symbolize the Arab revolution and their conquest of the Ottoman Turks between the years 1916 to 1918. The Arab Revolts raised their flag for the first time in Jerusalem in 1916. I doubt any of my young students in American wrapping themselves in these flags know the history, the "short" history, or that a Jewish Legion was also in the fight against the Ottoman Turk. The Jewish Legion saw action during the Sinai and Palestine campaign, where they fought at the Battle of Megiddo before being reduced to one battalion, nicknamed the "First Judaeans".

@freedombug11 Ottoman Empire did not "collapse", it lost a World War, one that the Arabs participated in, being traitors to their Ottoman allies. Choices have consequences. The British hated the Jews but respected them. The British loved the Arabs but had not respect for their ability to govern.

@freedombug11 The "Document" is available online in its original form, written by the 3rd Arab Congress to Winston Churchill. It is filled with lies, ones that continued to be told. Jews "took" nothing, that's the BIG LIE, the one which continues to force suffering and death on innocent humans who believe it. No Israeli with the power to do so is calling for the "extermination" of an entire people. OTOH, Iran, with a nuclear bomb, while have the leadership and power to do just that. FREE IRAN The first major Nazi camp to be liberated was Majdanek, located in Lublin, Poland. It was liberated in the summer of 1944, not 1945.

@Reality4Peace 2015, almost a decade ago, but Mate says no Canadian knows about it. "We Were Children" is a 2012 Canadian documentary film about the experiences of First Nations children in the Canadian Indian residential school system. More than a decade ago, and the NFB of Canada now has dozens of ongoing projects. Gabor Mate is making another false claim, and at the same time not answering the question about HAMAS.
1
Oren is correct, the land was a crossroads of many peoples, and after the collapse of civilization around 1200BCE, the "sea peoples" swarmed in from all over the Eastern Mediterranean, perhaps as far as what is now Italy and Spain. How doe that matter in terms of early 20th century politics which is what the conflict is framed in.

@germaniatv1870 Herod the Great was "Roman" and "Jewish"? Herod the Great, despite ruling over a predominantly Jewish population in Judea, was not ethnically Jewish himself. He was an Idumean, also known as Edomite, which was a Semitic people who inhabited the region south of Judea.

@HabaneroTi I'm good with it, just wanted to make it clear. Herod's architecture was not exactly "Jewish" in that sense. That's what I was responding to, the 2nd Temple, not Solomon's, which Arafat said was "a Zionist Fantasy". It's on video, heard him say it in 1999/2000.
1
@NewOldResearch Political Jew placed there by the Romans. I'm okay with that, but it should be clear. There is more than just religious history imbued in the greater culture of being a Jew and citizen of Israel.
1
Israel is a word which means "To Wrestle with G_d", the ancient Greek words "To Wrestle" are Pále, so in 200 BCE the Greeks who occupied the region called it by that name Pále(stine, steen) The place or people who wrestle. I'm just guessing, but there may very well be a correlation.

@idonuttylikezenorship4547 "Jews Finance the British Civil War Red Revolution- 1639 - 1653" RED"? not used, and the "Great Rebellion" covered not one war but several, and include the Welch, the Scots, and the Irish. Jews had been expelled from England in the late thirteenth century, but during the English Civil Wars, there were efforts to allow their return. Oliver Cromwell presented a petition advocating for the readmission of Jews. Puritans like Cromwell supported Jews and the Jewish bible, that's why so many early American colonists had names like Abraham and Isaac. Despite their small numbers, Jews participated in the English Civil Wars. Approximately 8,000 to 10,000 Jews, mostly recent immigrants, donned uniforms, and some even rose through the ranks to become officers. Your "facts" don't align with well documented history.

@billTO A genetic analysis of bone fragments unearthed at an archaeological site in central Germany shows conclusively that modern humans — Homo sapiens — had already reached Northern Europe 45,000 years ago, overlapping with Neanderthals for several thousand years before the latter went extinct. Yemenite Jewish mitochondrial diversity reflects descent from ancient Israeli exiles and shared African and Middle Eastern ancestry with little evidence for large-scale conversion. Yemenites have the greatest cluster of DNA from the Natufian hunter-gatherers who were making Pita Bread in what is now Jordan 14,400 years ago.

California, met a family of Messianic Christians who just returned from Israel. They are teaching their American children that Greedy Jews are making war to make money, and Oct 7th was planned by them. I'm not exaggerating. The mother brought home a Shofar and blows it, not as a call to Peace, but as a weapon of hate. Talking to them was a horrifying experience.

Wow, am aware of some in Asia, but this is news to me. I'll check it out. After 1492 Jews were expelled from the Iberian Peninsula but those who converted instead were still restricted from travelling to the "New World", however, many did, even with Cortez and Pissarro. There were secret Jews in Brazil who converted back when the Netherlands captured the area from Spain, at least for awhile. Of course Spain held your Islands, and there was also an incursion of Muslims, so must be a very complicated history.

What we are still fighting: Soviet Era Propaganda Soviet-era propaganda often portrayed settler colonialism, particularly in the context of Western powers, as a tool of imperialism and exploitation. The Soviet Union used various mediums, including posters, literature, and films, to condemn colonialism and depict it as a form of oppression and injustice. Here are some common themes and messages found in Soviet-era propaganda regarding settler colonialism: 1. **Exploitation of Indigenous Peoples**: Soviet propaganda frequently highlighted the exploitation and suffering of indigenous peoples under settler colonial rule. Images and narratives depicted indigenous populations being displaced from their lands, forced into labor, and subjected to cultural assimilation. 2. **Imperialist Aggression**: Settler colonialism was portrayed as a manifestation of imperialist aggression by Western powers. The Soviet Union emphasized the expansionist motives behind colonial endeavors, framing them as part of a broader strategy to dominate and exploit territories and peoples. 3. **Resistance and Liberation**: Soviet propaganda often celebrated the resistance efforts of indigenous peoples against settler colonialism. It portrayed them as heroic figures fighting against oppression and colonial rule. The Soviet Union supported various anti-colonial movements around the world and depicted them as allies in the struggle against imperialism. 4. **Solidarity with Colonized Peoples**: Soviet propaganda aimed to foster solidarity with colonized peoples by highlighting shared struggles against imperialism. The Soviet Union positioned itself as a champion of decolonization and supported independence movements in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. 5. **Critique of Capitalism**: Settler colonialism was frequently depicted as a product of capitalist exploitation and inequality. Soviet propaganda emphasized the role of capitalist interests in driving colonial expansion and portrayed socialism as a progressive alternative that prioritized social justice and equality. Overall, Soviet-era propaganda on settler colonialism sought to delegitimize colonial practices, condemn Western imperialism, and promote the idea of national liberation and self-determination for colonized peoples.

Pan-Arabism and the decision not to allow a Jewish majority homeland is stated in this report to Winston Churchill in 1921.

There's speculation on where Muhammad was meditating in a cave when he saw the Angel who revealed the Qur'an. They say near Mecca, the description of the land more closely describes the fertile Negev. In any case, which makes sense, since the origin story was appropriated from Jews. It's possible that it was a Jew who created this new religion, converted the Bedu, and took them as an army north to reclaim Judea after the Byzantine and Persians spent themselves in wars. Just a "what if" idea.

"Philistine", is just a "thought". The word "Palestine" is ancient Greek, not Latin, but also indo-European. Arabic has no "P" or "P" sound. Hebrew does. In Ephesians 6:12, he proclaimed, “Our struggle” – literally, our wrestling – “is not against flesh and blood.” The Greek word is pale (PAH-lay), which had both literal and figurative uses. Palē was the most popular organized sport in ancient Greece. The Greeks called the land Pale"stine", the place of Wrestling. Some think that is where the name comes from. Palestine in Greek, Israel in Hebrew.
1
Ancient Greek word for "To Wrestle" is Pále (πάλη) and Greeks called the area of Israel, the "People who Wrestle with G_d", Pále(stine, steen)

This polling is now being widely distributed in the mass media. When asked whether Gazans are now more or less convinced that "coexistence between the Palestinian and Israeli peoples" is possible, the response was nearly unanimous: 90% of respondents said they were less confident now that peace will ever come.

The Churchill White Paper of 1922 was a significant document in the history of British policy towards Palestine and its Jewish inhabitants. Issued by Winston Churchill, who was then the Colonial Secretary, it aimed to address the tensions arising from conflicting promises made to both the Jewish and Arab communities during World War I. The White Paper affirmed Britain's commitment to the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which expressed support for the establishment of a "national home" for the Jewish people in Palestine, while also recognizing the rights of non-Jewish communities in the region. However, it also sought to reconcile this commitment with the concerns of the Arab population. Key points of the Churchill White Paper included: 1. **Partition**: Churchill proposed a partition of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab areas. This was one of the earliest instances of such a proposal, though it did not come to fruition at the time. 2. **Limitation of Jewish Immigration**: The White Paper introduced restrictions on Jewish immigration to Palestine, stating that it should not exceed the economic absorptive capacity of the country. This was a response to Arab concerns about Jewish immigration overwhelming the indigenous population. 3. **Land Sales**: It recommended the control of land sales in Palestine to prevent the dispossession of Arab peasants. 4. **Protection of Rights**: Churchill emphasized the need to protect the rights of all communities in Palestine, regardless of religion or ethnicity. The Churchill White Paper was criticized by both Jewish and Arab communities. Zionist leaders objected to the restrictions on Jewish immigration and land acquisition, which they saw as betrayals of the Balfour Declaration. Arab leaders, on the other hand, felt that the paper did not go far enough in addressing their grievances and aspirations for self-determination. Overall, the Churchill White Paper was an attempt to navigate the complexities of the situation in Palestine at the time, but it ultimately failed to satisfy either side and did not lead to a lasting resolution of the conflict.

@michaelrosenzweig3234 I agree on Balfour, and have said many times "Balfour" was just a suggestion. Not the point. There was a World War, the Germans and Ottomans lost that war, both had their borders contracted, and the Brits got administrative control over Ottoman Palestine. The LAND was TAKEN from the OTTOMAN TURKS. Both the Arabs and Jews FOUGHT with the Brits, both were promised LAND as a REWARD. The Jews were willing to SHARE, the ARABS were NOT. Proof? Here it is. You can read it online exactly as it was sent to Churchill in 1921.

@idonuttylikezenorship4547 Churchill was not at San Remo 1920 The San Remo Conference when allocation of mandates for former Ottoman territories in the Middle East were made. The conference confirmed the British Mandate for Palestine, which included provisions for the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. Again, 5 Jewish battalions fought with the UK, some at Gallipoli in 1915 even before Arabs entered the war. Winning a war has its rewards, and a nation/state for Jews was one of them.

The International Jew is a four-volume set of antisemitic booklets or pamphlets originally published and distributed in the early 1920s by the Dearborn Publishing Company, an outlet owned by Henry Ford, the American industrialist and automobile manufacturer. Following the publishing of an article in the Independent that alleged Jewish control of New York banks that were holding Texas cotton farmers hostage financially, San Francisco lawyer and Jewish farm cooperative organizer Aaron Sapiro sued Ford and Dearborn Publishing for libel in a $1 million lawsuit. The libel suit led Ford to issue a retraction and public apology in which he indicated having been unaware of the nature of the remarks, both those published in the Independent, and the subsequent pamphlets, and was "shocked" by the content.

@idonuttylikezenorship4547 Documented Patton quote very different; ""In my opinion, the American Army as it now exists could beat the Russians with the greatest of ease, because, while the Russians have good infantry, they are lacking in artillery, air, tanks, and in the knowledge of the use of the combined arms, whereas we excel in all three of these. If it should be necessary to fight the Russians, the sooner we do it the better. The unprepared fight would be a slaughter, and we should lose more men in the first six months than we lost in all our other wars. I wonder whether I have fought on the wrong side." - 1945 George Patton. He made this statement during a conversation with General Walter Bedell Smith, Eisenhower's chief of staff, in May 1945. Patton expressed his concerns about the Soviets and their expansionist goals, particularly in Eastern Europe.

Yes, even a simple reading of history shows the aims of Pan-Arabism to eliminate Israel in order to join the "Sisters" together into one contiguous state. The 1921 Arab Congress stated that aim, and it was repeated by Arafat, who also said Solomon's Temple was figment of Zionist imagination.

@GardenerGeorge "Shallow"? "Converts"? you just through under the bus the cultural underpinnings of most of the planet for thousands of years. Regardless of modern identifications, which are many in a liberal democracy like Israel, which you call a failure, is their justification for any group to have recognized physical borders of a nation/state. Do you believe any nation/state has the justification to exist? I'm not hiding in the "bronze age" but living in the modern age of the Westphalian agreements from the 17th century, still with us in the form of the United Nations. If you mean justice requires the "right of return" to 1967 borders for displaced descendents, that's possible, with the caveat certain land must be retained for security reasons, like the Golan Heights. But the right of return to 1947 is not justice. Israel is a nation/state with a majority Jewish population, and that's no "Bronze Age" fantasy.

@RoninDave Yemenite Mahras are the purest Yemenis with the least foreign admixture besides a few individuals having SE Asian ancestry.They also have the most Natufian DNA. The deserts of Arabia did not come into being until 6,000 years ago. The Natufian lived in rather lush surroundings, every different from what's there now. About 14,400 years ago in the Black Desert of northeastern Jordan, someone was tinkering with the recipe for the perfect pita. This auspicious moment in culinary history has been captured by researchers who sampled the contents of two stone fireplaces at the site of Shubayqa 1. The team, led by University of Copenhagen archaeobotanist Amaia Arranz-Otaegui, found that the people living at this small campsite, hunter-gatherers who belonged to a culture known as the Natufians, were making unleavened bread-like products at least 4,000 years before the dawn of agriculture. Canaanites were a mixture of Zagros/Caucasian migrants and ancient Levantine farmers. Quasi-Canaanite ancestry is a major genetic source for Jews and Palestinians alike, though Palestinians have had less European admixture over time. I'm not one to point to the bible for justification of a nation/state for one and not the other, nor DNA. The current framework for civilization is the Westphalian agreements from the 17th Century and the concept of nation/state sovereignty. That framework is under attack by some Arabs and some Western Europeans, but for different reasons. Live in peace, share the land, let each have sovereignty.

@RoninDave Yemeni Jews have the deepest roots to the Natuian people. 50,000 refugees By the time Operation Magic Carpet ended in September 1950, 28 pilots had made some 380 flights and airlifted nearly 50,000 refugees to Israel- almost the entire Yemeni Jewish population.

@mistergray9664 Did you check the dates? Do you remember anything from the first the year of your life? Does he say he remembers being in a camp? No, he uses his mother's suffering as his own. Something odd about that. I'm a Litvak Jew, some of my people got out in the 1880s and fought as American Soldiers in WW2. I can imagine how many cousins didn't survive the War. He's made a career as a "Holocaust Survivor", and often his "feelings" don't align with facts. If a Zionist is someone who supports a nation/state, then I am one. I also support the nation/state of my birth, America, something Mate doesn't even do for his place of birth, Canada, where he lives now. We live in a time when some people no longer believe in the Westphalian Peace of nation/state borders. I wish they would be more transparent about that. I wish humans will someday progress beyond requiring borders, but that day is not reality.

@smalt0 "indigenous"? That part of the globe has been a human crossroad for more than 10,000 years, unlike the "indigenous" people of say Australia or the last wave that came into the Western Hemisphere. That word does not apply in this case. Even the word "Palestine" is not "indigenous", it is an Indo-European word, not Arabic, and first used by the Ancient Greeks. There isn't even a letter "P" or "P" sound in the Arabic language. After 1948 Arabs stayed in the new nation/state, they now number 21% of the Israeli population, serve on the Knesset, the Supreme Court, and the IDF. Show me the comparable in neighboring a State? The Kurds are more "indigenous" to the region than the Egyptians who flowed into Gaza under the British Mandate.

@freeto9139 Wow, the fantasy of the "native" living in a garden of Eden. The swamp lands in what is now Central California was full of pestilence and disease, the natives came only at certain times of the year, but still got sick and died.
