Aren’t the true “settlers” the ones who came in and took over in the seventh century CE (Christian Era)?
These are of more recent vintage. Those “settlers” saw nothing but desert and swamp land, the latter deliberately neglected into existence to discourage the Maltese pirates from gaining a foothold on the coast. So they left. The present Arab settlers came after the Jooos! died in large numbers of malaria, typhus and cholera while draining said swamps, with the financial assistance of Baron Edmond Benjamin Rothschild, who imported eucalyptus trees to suck up the swamp juices, provided poisons to kill off eggs left by the locust swarms of 1915, and otherwise was a stand-up rich guy. There’s a town named after him near my aunt’s kibutz, Binyamina. The swamps drained, Arab settlers moved in to those areas of cleared land that the Jooos! who did the dying and draining did not cultivate, and found plenty of employment. They also figured that after a few pogroms and random murders, the Jooos! would run back to Europe in terror, leaving all the new infrastructure for them to enjoy, but they were wrong. Pogroms were all the thing back in the 1880s in the Pale of Settlement, too. So Pogrom there, Pogrom here. They stayed and learned how to fight. And here we are, still fighting, still winning. Jewish “Settlers” my hairy a@@.
“CE”
Please don’t use that revisionist term even with your correct interpretation as it furthers the deconstructionist anti-JudeoChristian/WesternCiv agenda.
