Until the final Jewish Revolt (when the the Temple was destroyed and the martyrs at Masada took their own lives), the entire region was called (wait for it) <b>Judea</b>. Emperor Vespasian decreed that "Judea" sounded too much like "Jew." It was <i>he</i> who coined the term "Palestine," from the same root word in "Philistine," by then a long-dead race that had gone the way of the Amorites, Moabites, etc.<br /><br />There is no such thing as an ethnic Palestinian. None. They are ARABS. <br /><br />And here's something else for you Muslim-sympathizers to chew on:<br /><br />Read the book "O, Jerusalem" about the 1948 War of Independence. (I met many veterans of that conflict on my trip there a dozen years ago.) <br /><br />The UN partition planned called for two states: one majority-Jewish, the other majority-Arab, with Jerusalem an open city administered by the UN. The Jews said, "fine by us." The Arabs vowed to kill every Jew and drive them into the sea. <br /><br />Israel, with virtually no outside help, did the impossible: They fought armies from Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Jordan (the latter with the aid of hundreds of British advisors.)<br /><br />But a curious -- though not really surprising -- phenomenon happened. Whenever Arab troops (almost universally illiterate and uncivilized) would overrun a Jewish position, they celebrated by firing weapons into the air, and looting the town. Reconsituting and preparing for a counterattack? Nah. Wasn't in their DNA.<br /><br />Within a couple months, ALL the Arab forces were begging for a cease-fire and UN intervention.<br /><br />During the next 25 years, the surrounding Arabs would try three more times to exterminate the Jews in Israel. And they failed miserably each time.<br /><br />You see, Muslims are taught in school that Jews "are the descendants of monkeys and pigs." Their evil prophet's book instructs them to cut off the heads and arms of the Jews. <br /><br />Those "people" aren't interested in coexistence. They want to finish what Hitler started. And for you liberals and "moderates," here's a news flash. There aren't "two sides" to this story, unless you choose to grant legitimacy to a race of people whose entire culture was built on war, destruction and genocide.<br /><br />I'm sorry, but facts can be a bitch sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-80509293061770425672012-10-25T09:57:37.739-05:002012-10-25T09:57:37.739-05:00Very convenient history going on here...
There wa...Very convenient history going on here...<br /><br />There was an Arab revolt in the 1930s in response to the Zionist movement. There was the Peel Commission. No mention is made of the Lehi or Irgun or the Partition.<br /><br />The Soviet stuff is just nonsense as inhabitants were called Palestinian Jews and Palestinian Arabs long before 1964. Once Israel was declared a state, the necessity of attaching " Jew" and " Arab" to Palestinian becomes moot.<br /><br />And, I hate to break the news to everyone, but anti-Semitism was alive and well in the US well into the 1950's. Doesn't anyone remember that Jack Benny along with other Jewish actors had to form their own country club? <br /><br />In those days, the GOP was not pro-Israel just as it wasn't pro-abortion. <br /><br />I know some of you weren't alive then, but really, study history from historians not from special interest groups.

The Arab countries did not send troops to help the people that are today known as "Palestinians" but rather they sent troops to drive the Jews into the sea. Most of the "Palestinian Arabs" fled to avoid the fighting. Remember, in 1948 they were not referred to as "Palestinians". This name was was created by the Soviet disinformation masters in 1964 when they created the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). The term "Palestinian People" as a description of Arabs in Palestine appeared for the first time in the preamble of the 1964 PLO Charter, drafted in Moscow. The Charter was affirmed by the first 422 members of the Palestinian National Council, handpicked by the KGB. This term was formally used by newspapers around the world after 1967.<br /><br />United Nations Resolution 181 partitioned the territory from the British Mandate for Palestine into two states - one for Jews and one for Palestinian Arabs. All of the Arab countries objected to the creation of the Jewish state and fought a war against its creation. This was Israel's War of Independence in 1948. Despite their superior numbers, the Arab countries lost the war and the Palestinian state never materialized because of this loss. In the war that was waged, the territory allotted to be the Palestinian state by the UN partition resolution was divided between Israel and Jordan. The "Palestinian Arabs" were rejected by every single Arab country, with the exception of the small percentage that ended up in refugee camps in Jordan where they remain to this day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-48128802513892306812012-10-24T20:23:00.796-05:002012-10-24T20:23:00.796-05:00October 24, 2012 6:53 PM is conveniently revising ...October 24, 2012 6:53 PM is conveniently revising copious amounts of history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-84577792117070704202012-10-24T19:02:22.943-05:002012-10-24T19:02:22.943-05:00Palestinian women don't wear burkas.Palestinian women don't wear burkas.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-70597024124822453512012-10-24T18:53:09.017-05:002012-10-24T18:53:09.017-05:00Good grief...shall we call them Ottomans instead o...Good grief...shall we call them Ottomans instead of Palestinians then?<br /><br />How silly to bicker over the name of those former residents.<br /><br />The Zionist movement was started in 1897 by a guy name Herzl. <br /><br />Israel, as a geographical entity hadn't existed since when? 1 AD ?<br /><br />Must we be so zealous as to totally ignore that people had lived and owned property and worked in the Ottoman Empire or Palestinian Mandate or whatever you choose to call the geographical area and those people were outnumbered after WWII and eventually lost a war in which they wanted to maintain control of the land they regarded as their home.<br /><br />Everyone is conveniently forgetting that after WWII, the world was less than interested in taking large numbers of Jewish refugees. <br /><br />Gee, the North could have just decided after The Civil War to give Mississippi to the former slaves.
