Another ignorant moron who is the product of the liberal Jewish establishment. Of course he wasn’t taught Israel’s history. He also wasn’t taught Jewish history or Judaism. The guy is a walking cliche.

Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News: There has been a nakba for 72 years. But it isn’t what Palestinians say it is.

The word “nakba” was coined in 1948 by Constantin Zureiq in his pamphlet “The Meaning of Nakba,” but he didn’t describe it the way it is used today. His description of the events of 1948 were centered around the mistakes of the Arabs rather than the actions of the Jews.

The Myth and Fraud That There Ever Was an Arab Country or People Called ‘Palestine’ (Part Two of Two)

As noted in the prior installment, the entire “Palestine” myth is built on one Big Lie after another. Recently, the New York Times even published an article asserting that Jesus was a “Palestinian Arab.” Having spread the Big Lie for so long — half a cent

They don’t exist. Jews have a more than 3,500 year history and the term “Palestinian” has been applied to Muslim Arabs (vs everyone in the region including Jews) exclusively since 1967. There is no moral equivalence and “Palestinians” are in no way the indigenous people of Israel. The left hates that fact because truth isn’t a left wing priority when facts stand in opposition to their narrative. you don’t like that because it isn’t “nice”? Too bad. It’s still true.

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.
