That's what I say all the time. Let people know the history of this region for the last 200 years. How Jews and others lived there all the time, how did the majority of the today PA's arrived there in the 19th Century. How the Jews make the desert flourish what hadn't been done for Centuries. How the Pa's and the Arab Armies which invaded Israel only one day after its Independence day. How come that 600,000 Jews, many of them wretched people who survived the Holocaust, with so few weapon managed to win 1,250,000 Arabs and seven Arab countries?

Bottom line. Palestine was the most developed, populated, cultured, educated, industrially state in the world. Till the Jewish arrived there in 1948 and expelled them out of the region. Poor Palestinians.

@freedomfighter4990 All of it. According to this video, Palestine was the most developed, populated, cultured, educated, industrially state in the world. Till the Jewish arrived there in 1948 and expelled them out of the region. Poor Palestinians.

@SparrowThey do but not as they describe it. All over the history of that region people arrived and left. As I mentioned, Arabs lived there as also others. Jews and Christians. Jews lived there all the time. Till the Mid 19th Century they used to live in the four holy cities. Jerusalem, Hebron, Tiberias, Sefad and also in mixed villages in the upper Galilee mountains. The land outside the cities which I have mentioned and some more was almost empty. you can read about it in books of the travelers at that time like Mark Twain and many others who describes it as a measurable poor and neglected land. In the video you can see many "happy" Arabs in the cities but not outside it. The so called PA's have no advantage upon others, certainly not the Jews. At the end of the 19th Century Jews were the majority in Jerusalem.

You better get yourself a good history book dealing with this region. I recommend you to start with 1831. After that you'll get wiser and won't swallow every bullshit this Channel is feeding you.

@Sparrow Not true. I'm a Jew and an Israeli citizen and I know it. Not as the Pa's are claiming but there were few hundreds thousands of them. Mostly in the cities, less in villages and many small poor farmers.

@Sparrow Dear sir, here is a short-long history of the 19th Century of this region. Muslim squatters started to arrive in this region after 1831. At this year the Egyptian Army took over this region for about ten years. At that period of time they encouraged Egyptian people to settle in the occupied territories. Till these days you can find Arab families with the name of Al-Massri, Egyptian. At 1840 the Ottoman empire asked European countries to join them in order to get control again in this region. Russia, Great Britain, France and Austria joined them and the Ottomans became the rulers again. The ottomans felt committed to those who helped them and let these countries to open there representations and many Pilgrims of those countries began to arrive in the holy land. They needed accommodations, Churches and also start building Monasteries. All this needed skill workers which this region could not provide. That was the opening of big waves of job seekers who arrived from all the Levant. After that the families also joined their husbands/fathers, and the numbers went up and up from year to year. From 250,000 at 1830 to 450,000 in 1890. When the first Jews arrived from Europe in 1878 they also needed skilled workers and many more arrived during the Jewish emigration till 1920. At that year the Arab population arrived to 600,000, many of then were squatters. Now the Pa's claim all of them to be the original population of this region for thousands of years.

@Sparrow I read it long long ago. It shows how empty this land was except some towns. But why do you recommend me to read it? Tell the so called PA's to do it.

You better believe it. What does it say about the Arabs?

@mazen723 This kind of name are initials. Since you are speaking from a sentimental point of view, you are ignoring the real facts. Just as a typical PA. You are not living the history of Palestine. blood shade, After doing it, I'll be happy for a farther discussion. Now these are only false facts which the so called PA's made it also a false legend. only one small false fact for example. , At the very beginning of the video IT shows the train arriving the station of Jerusalem for the first time. Do you know who initiated this project? I'm not going to tell you. You can look for it by yourself. This is only one small true fact that you could have find if you only read what I suggested to you. You'll find there many more true facts that contradicts all the false facts of the Palestinians and others like you. BTW. This video is showing the mass Arab population in Jerusalem with no one Jew there. Just for your poor knowledge, the Jews were the majority in Jerusalem at the beginning of the the 20th Century. Take your time and read. You will become wiser.
