9,000 Photos from 1800’s British Mandate of Palestine – with no trace of Muslims or mosques
Pamela Geller ^ | 5/1/16 | Pamela Geller

“Palestinian” is a euphemism for Islamic Jew hatred. Previously I published the actual flag of Palestine before 1948. (above.)

What follows is an “aha moment” in Muslims’ war on Israel.

Now here is further proof of the lie (as if we needed any more) of the vicious historical revisionism by the Muslim world to erase the Jewish State and create a mythical Islamic narrative surrounding five thousand years of Jewish history.

9,000 Photos from 1800’s British Mandate of Palestine – with no trace of ‘Palestinians’ By Palestine/Israel Conflict, February 13, 2013 (thanks to Dan F):

Where ARE all those Palestinians, the proclaimed one million of them who lived in Israel before they were ‘displaced’? Nowhere.

Nowhere, because they never existed.And where are all the mosques for those “1 million Palestinians”? With Muslims comes mosques. There can be no Muslim population without a large proportion of mosques. If they had been 1 million at the turn of the Century, or even in 1920 after they began immigrating to fight the British, with their rapid population growth Palestine would consist of over 40 million people today and not 4 million. That alone proves the Palestinian jihad lies. Their population is small because they are new invaders and occupiers who arrived late with an aim to commit jihad. They never lost land that was never theirs to begin with! The British army permitted merely a few Ottomans to remain due to religious observations, the rest was Jewish. In reality according to eyewitness reports the barren British Mandate had a very small number of people living on it.

Félix Bonfils (1831-1885) was French photographer and writer who was active in the Middle East. Four years after his arrival he reported 15,000 prints of Egypt, Palestine

the Palestinians (And the very definition of the word) are castaways from society. They are lower than the slaves of Syria and Jordan.

Palestine was a wasteland that they were sent to to die. And to this day, no arab aid comes to them.

Because they were supposed to die.

The desert there did NOT have a single mosque or Islamist influence because it was their waste land. This is why the Jews were sent there as well - as a sort of poke in the eye. But I can cover that debate at another time.

Ok, not really exactly on topic, but the old joke kind of presents itself.

The Israelis and the Palestinians settled down for another round of peace talks. The Israeli minister stood up to begin his speech.

“Before I begin, I’d like to lighten the mood with a little joke. One day Moses decided it was so hot he would take a nice cool swim in the Sea. He took off his clothes and placed them on a tree branch, and refreshed himself in the water. When he got out of the water, he saw his clothing was gone. He called to his friend, “What has happened to my clothing?”

His friend rushed up and told Moses, “The Palestinians! Moses, I saw the Palestinians steal your clothes!”

At the point, one of the Palestinian delegation to the peace talks interrupted the Jew. “This is an insulting joke! No more! There were no Palestinians here at that time!”

The Israeli spoke with a smile. “Well, now that we both have that established, let us open our negotiations.”

In the Middle East, the TRUTH means nothing.

The Israelis, for example, always fall over themselves trying to prove a truth or deny an insane Arabic claim, all this for naught. They get condemned by the UN, Europe and Obama anyways.

Why bother?

The Arabs and Muslims are congenital liars whether we want to be Politically Correct or not. This is a truth that can be proven a million times a day around the world.

Just one popup for me, asking if I wanted to get on her email list...I clicked on the X and it was gone.

I use AdBlock and Ghostery, but I disabled them to see what would happen (after reading your comment)

This article is amazingly ignorant. In the 1800s, Jerusalem and Palestine were part of the Ottoman Empire. The British and French mandates were not created until after WWI, when the Allies carved up the Ottoman Empire in the Sykes-Picot Agreement.

You are confusing a comment about a temple with The Temple. There are lots of temples that have nothing to do with the Roman destruction, and lots of mosques outside Mecca that have nothing to do with Mohammed’s horse.

Palestine as a country and “Palestinian” people are made up BS period. 9000 photo’s from the 1800s not showing a mosque is meaningless.

Middle East and terrorism, occasional political and Jewish issues Ping List. High Volume

If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Strange premise, at the time Palestine was a part of Turkey, it's armpit where poorly performing civil servants might be sent. Per the Twain quotes on the thread, not much there, but there were Muslims. And as evidenced by the third holiest site in Islam

Kind of a dump. There was even Tel Aviv, out there in the desert.


The meeting founding Tel-Aviv 1908" [sic] (source: Avraham Soskin, Tel Aviv, 1926). The lottery of housing plots for the Ahuzat Bayit suburb took place on April 11, 1909. Soskin’s familiar photograph of that event quickly achieved iconic status.

To paraphrase our President, Jews, you didn't build that!

They took over Lebanon in a couple of decades. In two centuries, they could obvious out breed anyone with their large families, multiple wives and terroristic threats.

You are absolutely correct. Sykes-Picot was negotiated between Britain and France. It cut up the middle east with no consideration of historical boundaries, tribal allegiances, religious differences etc. that area has never known peace since.

This. The author obviously knows nothing about history since there was no Mandate until after WWI. I’ve heard some bizarre theories in my day but the idea there were no Muslims in Palestine is definitely one of the weirder ones. There have been Muslims there continuously since the 7th century. Europeans and Arab Muslims fought a whole series of wars over the issue - the Crusades.

Right, and there were no Christian inhabitants of Bethlehem and Galilee? How stupid do you think people are?

Great post. Interesting conversation already! Let’s hope the Yeshuah ha’Aceway people with their transliterated arguments about what Matthew’s letter to the Meravingians teaches us about New Canaan keep their distance for a few pages.

The French photographer has, in fact, photographed mosques. The biggest of them is the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem.

The Dome of the Rock is not now, and never has been, a mosque.

Notice, too, the grass growing out of all the cracks in the pavement surrounding the Dome and the total absence of people in the pictures of it.
