The Origins of Arab Settlers in the Land of Israel

What’s in a name? In the case of the Arabs, it tells you what their tribe and country of origin are. It also dispels the biggest fallacy the “Palestinians” would like you to believe.

No Palestinians are not the indigenous people of Israel. The term “Palestine” is Roman in origin, not Arabic, and the people tekmskeves are Arabs, which means they originated in the Arabian peninsula. Even the modern Palestinian population descends from people who moved into the area after the Jewish influx made the area desirable.

As someone who has been called a "heeb," a "kike," and a "f'ing Zioinist Jew," along with several other incidents, I always find it bizarre when the purveyors of identity politics claim that I posses "white privilege" and have no idea what bigotry was like. I grew up around Holocaust survivors, some of my family members experienced serious antisemitism here in the United States, and the Nazis put millions of my people into overs just a generation before I was born. Sorry, but unless you are Jewish: you absolutely do NOT get to tell is what we experience as Jews. I find identity politics to be pretty abhorrent. But I am more horrified by the left's enthusiastic embrace of all things anti-Jewish.

Many American detractors of Israel begin by citing that Israel receives the lion’s share of US military aid. The very suggestion conjures the demon of an all-powerful Israel lobby that has turned the US Congress into its pawn. But these figures, while reflecting official direct US military aid, are almost meaningless in comparison to the real costs and benefits of US military aid – above all, American boots on the ground. In reality, Israel receives only a small fraction of American military aid, and most of that was spent in the US to the benefit of the American economy.

The proof that almost all of the invective against Israel is more about hating Jews than caring about Palestinians is that the people who oppose Israel only whine about Israel: they never condemn the Palestinian leadership. Obviously, if they really cared about the Arabs in Gaza and the "West Bank," they would work to change the status quo in both to give them the same rights and standards of living that Israeli Arabs enjoy. And that's one of the great lies of this entire issue: if Israel is the root of Palestinian deprivation, then why do the Arabs in Israel itself have a similar standard of living as ALL other Israelis?

"Where are all those who claim to be "pro-Palestinian" and are spewing hatred against Israel and Jews at college campuses in the US and Canada? If they really want to help the Palestinians, let them stand up and shout about the rights of women and gays living under Hamas's repressive regime, and journalists who are being harassed and arrested by Mahmoud Abbas's security forces."
