It Is NOT Israel Independence Day But Israel REESTABLISHMENT Day

Israel did not become independent from anyone. Jews waited for the British to leave

Great column, I wish it was longer. Israel has ALWAYS been Jewish, and Jews have always lived there. It is Israel that was occupied for almost 2,000 years before the re-establishment of the modern Jewish state. Despite the propaganda that FAR too many people believe, no other people has ever established a nation in the Land of Israel.

Fascinating history. Every inch of “Arab” land in Israel has been de-Judaized. There are no Arab towns, no Arab cities, and there is no Arab land. They are the colonizers.

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

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.
