The Truth About the
Palestinian People
The 1948 Israeli War of Independence was between the neighboring Arab countries and
the newly formed state of Israel. 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 J ews 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.
United Nations Resolution 181 recommended a partition of the territory from the British
Mandate for Palestine into two states - one for J ews and one for Palestinian Arabs. But the
rejection of partition by the Arabs left in place as the legally operative Mandate for
Palestine, the 1924 Anglo-American Convention, and Article 80 of the United Nations
Charter. All of the Arab countries objected to the creation of the J ewish 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 J ordan where they remain to this
day.

The History of the Region
To understand the truth of modern day Israel, you must first have a clear understanding of the history of the
region.
J udea was an autonomous state in the Persian Empire following the return from Babylonian exile thanks to
Cyrus, King of Persia. Following the death of Alexander the Great who had captured the Persian Empire, it
became part of two Hellenistic.
Following the Maccabean revolt, J udea became an independent state. Following the death of King Herod, the
Romans seized it and it then became a Roman province. J udea was briefly independent during the first revolt
against the Romans until it was finally destroyed when the Romans put down the revolt and destroyed
J erusalem and the Temple in the year 70.
J udah lost its independence to Rome in the year 70 and became again a colony. In the year 135, the Romans
gave the country the name "Palaestina". The name Palaestina, which became Palestine in English, is derived
from Herodotus, who used the term Palaistine Syria to refer to the entire southern part of Syria, meaning
"Philistine Syria." This was to add insult to injury against the J ewish people. The intent was to remove any
memory of a J ewish presence. The name was kept by the next possessors, the Byzantine Empire, and then by
the conquering Arabs and their successors, the conquering Turks. Note that we have a succession of different
nationalities, none of whom thought of themselves as Palestinians. They were the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs,or Turks.
About 61 B.C., Roman troops under Pompei invaded J udea and sacked J erusalem in support of King Herod.
J udea had become a client state of Rome. During the seventh century (A.D. 600's), Muslim Arab armies
moved north from Arabia to conquer most of the Middle East, including Palestine. The Seljuk Turks conquered
J erusalem in 1071, but their rule in Palestine lasted less than 30 years.
During the 7th century, Muslims invaded and the Crusaders from Europe ruled for a time until they were driven
out. The Crusaders left Palestine for good when the Muslims captured Acre in 1291. During the post-crusade
period, crusaders often raided the coast of Palestine. To deny the Crusaders gains from these raids, the
Muslims pulled their people back from the coasts and destroyed coastal towns and farms. This depopulated
and impoverished the coast of Palestine for hundreds of years.
In the mid-1200's, Mamelukes, originally soldier-slaves of the Arabs based in Egypt, established an empire that
in time included the area of Palestine that lasted until the Ottoman Empire defeated the Mamelukes in 1517,
and Palestine became part of the Ottoman Empire. The Turkish Sultan invited J ews fleeing the Spanish
Catholic inquisition to settle in the Turkish empire, including several cities in Palestine. The Ottoman Empire
ruled until the British took control of the area in 1917.
In 1922, the British declared that the boundary of Palestine would be limited to the
area west of the river. The area east of the river, called Transjordan, which is now the
country of J ordan, was made a separate British mandate and eventually given

independence. The British maintained control until 1948.
There was always a J ewish population in the region, most of them resided in the
religious communities in J erusalem, Tz'fat, Tiberius, and Hebron. With J ewish
immigration suddenly on the rise from the 1880's on, the economy of this very under
populated and very poor country began to rise dramatically, attracting a parallel
stream of Arabs from the surrounding countries who came in looking for jobs. At thesame time, Arab/Muslim nationalism and extremism began to rise, spurred by the
influx of what they considered "Infidel Jews" and the breakup of the Turkish Empire
followed by the occupation by European countries of much of the Middle East.
From this time through the War of Independence in 1947-49, there were local Arab leaders who called for an
independent Palestine (Arab state) in the entire country with not a single inch for a J ewish state. During the
1948 Israeli War of Independence, the local Arab armies and leaders identified with Syria, J ordan, and Egypt
and thought of themselves as such. At the end of the war, the Arab allotted land was divided between Israel,
Egypt (Gaza), and J ordan. The Egyptians refused to let the Gazans become independent or Egyptian citizens.
Eventually, the J ordanians did allow some refugees become citizens, but not all. The Arab states are content
to let their brother Arabs remain in those refugee camps that are really crowded and squalid towns and live like
that since the UN supported them. Because of this, they make a great political tool used to invoke sympathy,especially in regard to the European countries. That is crass, unfeeling politics, but these same people do not
hesitate to strap bombs to their young men and women.
Another reason why the Palestinian Arabs fled is that they refused to live in a J ewish dominated state.
Ironically, had they accepted the partition and those in Israel not fled, Israel would have had a huge and
growing Arab population and indefensible borders.
A Few Forgotten Facts
1. Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades
after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the J ewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the J ews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years
with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, J erusalem has been the J ewish capital J erusalem has never been the capital of any
Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the J ordanians occupied J erusalem, they never sought to make it theircapital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. J erusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the J ewish Holy Scriptures. J erusalem is not mentioned
once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of J erusalem. Mohammed never came to J erusalem.
8. J ews pray facing J erusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward J erusalem.
9. In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of
J ews. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.

10. The J ewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution, and slaughter.
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of
J ewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were intentionally not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite
the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in
the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands. J ewish refugees were
completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New J ersey.
13. The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one
J ewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most
of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.
15. Under J ordanian rule, J ewish holy sites were desecrated and the J ews were denied access to places of
worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people
of all faiths.
16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97
were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The UN was silent while 58 J erusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the J ordanians.
19. The UN was silent while the J ordanians systematically desecrated the ancient J ewish cemetery on the
Mount of Olives.
20. The UN was silent while the J ordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing J ews from visiting
the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
The Modern Day Conflict
From the 1948 Israeli War of Independence, "Palestinian Arabs"
have been sacrificed as pawns by all other Arab countries as
they are to this day. No other Arab country has ever offered to
accept any of these people into their own countries even though
they are well able to do so. To the Arab countries and the rest of
the anti-Semitic world, the "Palestinian Arabs" are useful only as
a tool to exterminate Israel and the rest of the J ews in the Middle
East. Otherwise, their welfare is of no concern to the rest of theArab world.
What about the ingrained notion that the Palestinians are fighting for their ancient homeland annexed by the
J ews? The truth about this matter has been so deliberately obscured that even to raise the issue seems
strange to many people.
In the 1967 war, also known as the Six Day War, did Israel annex territory from a Palestinian nation? No,
Israel did not take a single inch of territory from Palestine. That is because there is not, nor has there ever
been, a Palestinian nation. Israel captured the West Bank and Eastern J erusalem from J ordan's King Hussein
and the Gaza Strip from Egypt, after they declared war against the J ewish State. It was only following the Six-

day War in 1967 that Arab refugees living in these territories began identifying themselves as the "Palestinian
People" because the global media labeled them as such. One cannot help but wonder why these Palestinians
suddenly discovered a national identity after Israel won the war, but not during the "Jordanian Occupation" or
the "Egyptian Occupation"?
There Was Never A Country
Called PalestineIf you consider Palestine to be a "Sovereign" and "Independent" country that goes back through most of
recorded history as many would have you to believe, then a few questions need to be answered:
When was it founded and by whom?
What were its borders?
What was its capital?
Who was the President?
What was its form of government?
What were its major cities?
What constituted the basis of its economy?
Who was the Palestinian leader before Yasser Arafat?
Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or now, leaves no room for
interpretation?
What was the language of the country of Palestine?
What was the prevalent religion of the country of Palestine?
What was the name of its currency and what was the approximate exchange rate of the Palestinian
monetary unit against the US dollar, German mark, GB pound, or Japanese yen on any particular date?
And, finally, since there is no such country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?
If these so-called "Palestinians" are anything but a generic collection of Arabs from all over the rest of the Arab
world and if they really have a genuine ethnic identity that gives them right for self-determination, then why did
they never try to become an independent and sovereign nation until Arabs suffered their devastating defeat in
the Six Day War in 1967?
The Ten Commandments of Arab Lies
1. The "Palestinian People" have an historic connection to the land.
This is very interesting since there is no such thing as a "Palestinian People". When the Romans changed
the name of Israel to Palestine, the people living there at the time were Jews, not Arabs. If there had
been a "Palestinian People", which there never was, they would have been Jews.

2. The Palestinian People have been in the land from time immemorial.
For centuries pre-Israel Palestine was a forgotten, desolate wasteland inhabited by a remnant of Jews,
along with some Christians and wandering Bedouins who certainly had no thought of a national identity of
any kind.
3. There were no J ews in Palestine until Israel became a state in 1948.
The Romans officially banished the Jews from Israel (Palestine) in 135 CE. However, historical records
show there was always a Jewish presence in the land. While many were scattered, other Jews simplymoved out of harm's way until a less hostile power ruled the land. Jews were returning to what is now
Israel well before 1948. Many left Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.
4. Arabs and Jews lived in harmony before Israel became a state.
Throughout the centuries, Jews as well as Christians, living under Islamic rule suffered persecution and
humiliation, the intensity of which was determined by the character of a particular Moslem ruler. As
second-class citizens, there was never a "good time" for non-Muslims living under Islamic rule. Because
of the way that most Islamic countries look down on non-Muslims, they are always considered second-
class citizens and less than equal. Arabs have rarely lived in harmony with anyone if they were the
majority.
5. The returning J ews displaced the Palestinian Arabs
The ancestors of most of the present-day Arab population migrated to the land after Jewish pioneers
began to reclaim the land. They came from many different countries and were not original inhabitants of
the land.
6. The J ews stole Arab land
Jews returning to the land settled on unclaimed, unoccupied land or bought land from absentee Arab
landowners at outrageously high prices. This is a matter of record.
7. The J ews forced Arabs to flee Palestine
When Israel was declared a state in 1948, leaders from the surrounding Arab countries declared war on
Israel and instructed the Arab civilians living in the land to flee until the Jews were annihilated. Israeli
leaders, to no avail, urged the Arabs to stay. Property that they owned was abandoned.
8. The J ews caused the Arab refugee problem
If Arab countries would assimilate and care for the "Palestinian" refugees, as Israel did for their Jewish
refugees, there would be no refugee problem. Instead they use the refugees as political pawns in their
struggle against Israel. No Arab country that wants "Palestinian Arabs" in their country as they would
rather use the "Palestinian Arabs" as pawns rather than assimilate them into their populations and bring
peace to the Middle East.
9. Israel is the aggressor against defenseless Palestinians
In its brief history, Israel has had one war after another and each time they are blamed as the aggressor.
The Arabs do not recognize the right of Israel to exist and are in a constant state of hostility against
Israel. Their aim is to destroy Israel.
10. J erusalem is holy to Muslims
While Jerusalem is mentioned over eight hundred times in the Bible, it is not mentioned one time in the
Koran. Muslims have had little or no interest in Jerusalem until the Jewish presence in modern times.

THE JEWISH SITUATION
by
Larry Miller
A brief overview of the situation is always valuable, so as a service to all Americans who still do notget it, I now offer you the story of the Middle East in just a few paragraphs, which is all you really
need. Don't thank me. I am a giver. Here we go:
The Palestinians want their own country. There is just one thing about that: There are no
Palestinians. It is a made up word. Israel was called Palestine for two thousand years. Like "Wiccan",
"Palestinian" sounds ancient but is really a modern invention. Before the Israelis won the land in war,
Gaza belonged to Egypt and there were no "Palestinians" then. The West Bank belonged to J ordan,
and there were no "Palestinians" then. As soon as the J ews took over and started growing oranges
as big as basketballs, what do you know, say hello to the "Palestinians", weeping for their deep bond
with their lost "land" and "nation." So for the sake of honesty, let us not use the word "Palestinian"
any more to describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy at our deaths until someone points out
they are being taped. Instead, call them what they are: "Other Arabs From The Same General Area
Who Are In Deep Denial About Never Being Able To Accomplish Anything In Life And Would Rather
Wrap Themselves In The Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal Struggle And Death." I know that is a bit
unwieldy to expect to see on CNN. How about this, then: "Adjacent Jew-Haters."
Okay, so the Adjacent J ew-Haters want their own country. Oops, just one more thing. No, they do
not. They could have had their own country any time in the last thirty years, especially two years ago
at Camp David. But if you have your own country, you have to have traffic lights and garbage trucks
and Chambers of Commerce, and, worse, you actually have to figure out some way to make a living.
That is no fun. No, they want what all the other J ew-Haters in the region want: Israel. They also want
a big pile of dead J ews, of course - that is where the real fun is - but mostly they want Israel. Why?
For one thing, trying to destroy Israel - or "The Zionist Entity" as their textbooks call it - for the lastfifty years has allowed the rulers of Arab countries to divert the attention of their own people away
from the fact that they are the blue-ribbon most illiterate, poorest, and tribally backward on God's
Earth, and if you have ever been around God's Earth, you know that is really saying something. It
makes me roll my eyes every time one of our pundits waxes poetic about the great history and
culture of the Muslim Mideast. Unless I am missing something, the Arabs have not given anything to
the world since Algebra, and, by the way, thanks a hell of a lot for that one.
Chew this around and spit it out: Five hundred million Arabs; five million J ews. Think of all the Arab
countries as a football field, and Israel as a pack of matches sitting in the middle of it. And now these
same folks swear that if Israel gives them half of that pack of matches, everyone will be pals. Really?
Wow, what neat news. Hey, but what about the string of wars to obliterate the tiny country and the
constant din of rabid blood oaths to drive every J ew into the sea? Oh, that? We were just kidding.
My friend Kevin Rooney made a gorgeous point the other day: J ust reverse the numbers. Imagine
five hundred million J ews and five million Arabs. I was stunned at the simple brilliance of it. Can
anyone picture the J ews strapping belts of razor blades and dynamite to themselves? Of course not.
Or marshalling every fiber and force at their disposal for generations to drive a tiny Arab state into
the sea? Nonsense. Or dancing for joy at the murder of innocents? Impossible. Or spreading and
believing horrible lies about the Arabs baking their bread with the blood of children? Disgusting. No,
as you know, left to themselves in a world of peace, the worst J ews would ever do to people is
debate them to death.

Mr. Bush, God bless him, is walking a tightrope. I understand that with vital operations coming up
against Iraq and others, it is in our interest, as Americans, to try to stabilize our Arab allies as much
as possible, and, after all, that cannot be much harder than stabilizing a roomful of supermodels that
have just had their drugs taken away. However, in any big-picture strategy, there is always a danger
of losing moral weight. We have already lost some. After September 11th our president told us and
the world he was going to root out all terrorists and the countries that supported them. Beautiful.
Then the Israelis, after months and months of having the equivalent of an Oklahoma City every week
and then every day, start to do the same thing we did, and we tell them to show restraint. If America
were being attacked with an Oklahoma City every day, we would all very shortly be screaming for the
administration to just be done with it and kill everything south of the Mediterranean and east of theJ ordan. (Hey, wait a minute, that is actually not such a bad idea... uh, that is, what a horrible thought,
yeah, horrible.)
To see the true agenda of what the "Palestinians" and the rest of radical Islam really stand for and the hatred
that is at their core beliefs, look at "Islam - A Religion Based on Terrorism".

On a final note, in all of the writing and reporting on Israel, there is one undisputed fact that
is consistently forgotten and ignored. That fact is that Israel is the only nation in the Middle
East who has ever properly protected sites holy to each religion and the rights of all to
worship in Jerusalem and all of Israel. No Islamic nation can come close to making that
claim.
