Travel Info Real & fact Does israel belong to palestinans ? Travel Tips Of course not. You ask why so many Arabs ended up in Palestine. During the British Mandate, even well into the 1940s, Arabs were allowed into "Palestine" in huge numbers without visa or passport, especially from the Hauran District of Syria, while the British continued to do everything possible to prevent Jews from entering, even down to the last minute when all attempts were made to deny entry to thousands of Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis. Only in 1948 were Jewish refugees allowed free entry to their homeland, and that was because Israel had, once again, become an independent nation. The Arabs of Ottoman Palestine may have had certain attachments to the fields they were cultivating but at the same time they were destroying the Land. Parkes stated that "in the wars between villages it was far too common a practice to cut down fruit trees and olives and to destroy crops, and this in the end caused as much loss of life through hunger as was caused by the actual casualties of fighting". He concluded that "in spite of the immense fertility of the soil, it is probable that in the first half of the nineteenth century the population sank to the lowest level it had ever known in historic times". Palestinian leaders claim that Israel is built on Arab land, when the truth is that eyewitnesses such as Mark Twain and Rev. Manning of England who visited the Holy Land in the 19th century wrote that the land was barren and empty. The population then was less that 5% of today's population. In fact, Joan Peters in her book "From Time Immemorial" tells us that the return of the Jews in 1800's and early 1900's created jobs, and Arabs from impoverished areas were drawn into the Holy Land for work. Peters also tells us that in 1948 so many Arabs were new to the area and could not qualify for the UN requirement for refugee status (people forced to leave "permanent" or "habitual" homes) that they added a clause permitting refugee status for Arabs who had been there as few as two years. Thus, the Zionist slogan "The Land without a people for the people without a land" was absolutely correct. The slogan did not mean that there were no inhabitants at all in Palestine, it just indicated that the non-Jewish population constituted a conglomeration of dozens of heterogeneous groups of residents having very little in common, i.e. not constituting a single nation, a people. These residents were not united by any specific national idea. Professor of history Reverend James Parkes wrote that the Balfour declaration for the first time established a "unit called Palestine on a political map. There was no such thing historically as a 'Palestinian Arab', and there was no feeling of unity among 'the Arabs' of this newly defined area". So before the creation of the State of Israel, who were the Palestinians? Until 1950, the name of the Jerusalem Post was THE PALESTINE POST; the journal of the Zionist Organization of America was NEW PALESTINE; Bank Leumi was the ANGLO-PALESTINE BANK; the Israel Electric Company was the PALESTINE ELECTRIC COMPANY; there was the PALESTINE FOUNDATION FUND and the PALESTINE PHILHARMONIC. All these were Jewish organizations. In America, Zionist youngsters sang "PALESTINE, MY PALESTINE", "PALESTINE SCOUT SONG" and "PALESTINE SPRING SONG." In general, the terms Palestine and Palestinian referred to the region of Palestine as it was. Thus, "Palestinian Jew" and "Palestinian Arab" are straightforward expressions. "Palestine Post" and "Palestine Philharmonic" refer to these bodies as they existed in a place then known as Palestine. The adoption of a Palestinian identity by the Arabs of Palestine is a recent phenomenon. Until the establishment of the State of Israel, and for another decade or so, the term Palestinian applied almost exclusively to the Jews. . Others Just about as much as Zimbabwe belongs to the Eskimos. Edit: ivri_anokhi BRAVO! That's a matter of opinion. Some are just migrants or nomadic tribes, some are not even born there e.g. Yasser Arafat was born in Cairo, his father was an Egyptain textile merchant, No. The closest argument is that the West Bank and Gaza strip belong to the Palestinians. No. It belongs to Israelis. Israel- Israelis. Palestine- Palestinians. Absolutely! The Israelis did not take Palestine it was given to them by the Big Four, who had no right to give anything to anyone. YES for sure. have you ever heared that there was an Israili country?? Israili people used to travel around the world and they were snoopy. Deceit and disloyality was their behavior and that's why they got their *** kicked from every place they'de stay at. e.g they got their *** kicked from Madinah and Khaibar. Actually, most of religious Jewish people knew that one day they will be kicked out from Palestine even if they got their (great Israel, Pyramids from west and Dajlah river from East and Khaibar at South). So cheer up, it's a matter of time. |
