Arabs

The overwhelming majority of “Palestinians” are Jordanian or Egyptian. “Palestinians” are a political fiction. They are Arabs.

Because all those people, including Israelites, have common origins.

Technically the only true Palestinians are the Biblical Jews (modern Israel), ironically making the Arabs shut out from Egypt, Jordan and Syria the invaders of their lands.

But don't try explaining such to modern college students.

Here's the disowned son of a lead terrorist explaining it:

Mosab Hassan Yousef PROVES the Land of Israel Belongs to the Jews

His accent's a bit dense but he does well explaining a subject purposely obscured by politicians and the media.

For the entire Islamic and Arab world...THE TRUTH MEANS NOTHING so stop trying to convince them with the truth.

The PALEOstinians and the idea of “Palestine” are out and out lies.

Of course there were Arabs living in the Land of Israel for a long time. There were always Jews living there since ancient Rome and before.

How many people? How many villages? What are their origins? There are census reports from the Ottomans and British.
Were they all “Indigenous”? Or what is part of an ebb and flow of tribes moving in and out of that area?

Arab Bedouin and tribes slowly migrated increasingly into British MANDATE Palestine after WWI seeking food, employment, money and opportunity JUST AS THE JEWS began returning back to the land.

The Jews and their backers were industrious and began building infrastructures while the Arabs continued to live in an almost Biblical fashion, doing the same activities year in and year out.
Where was the creativity for change or improvement in their lives. The answer is Zero. They lived as they had always lived for centuries, farming and farming. They remained with their fingers in their rear ends for eons.

Suddenly the Jews came and began building. The Arabs benefited and increasingly enjoyed the fruits of the Jewish labor and building. Yet they feared the Jewish immigration.

From 1920 onwards the Arabs (not called Palestinians) decided to go the route that they are still on, namely violence, mayhem, rape, slaughter, mutilation of their victims and much much more heinous stuff. TO THIS DAY, THEY HAVE NOT CHNAGED OR ALTERED THEIR COURSE.

Compromise? This word does not exist in their language. So what they did on October 7th 2023 and what they did for years in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia and Iran is the same brutality.

What can you expect from the scum of the Earth except more hatred and violence?

Where is Thin Man and Fat Boy when you need them?

All that is true. But IMHO, the more convincing argument for the Jews being there today is that they bought up a lot of the land from the Ottomans. By the time the Ottoman Empire made the boneheaded decision to join WW1 on the losing side, the Jews were the majority of the population of Jerusalem (the main part of Israel the Arabs argue about).

For example, look at the # of students in Jerusalem in 1882: https://badil.org/phocadownload/Badil_docs/publications/Jerusalem1948-CHAP1.PDF

Christian school total students: 1,787
Jews in Christian run schools: 138
Students in Jewish schools: 1,707
Students in Muslim schools: only 360

That makes the total Jewish kids 1,845, far outnumbering the Muslim students at 360.

Muhammad was Arabian. Not just an "Arab", a native born inhabitant of the Arabian peninsula.

There is no historical dispute about this.

Anything else is current year lies peddled to the aggressively ignorant.

You will never convince an Arab Muslim of the truth regarding Jews or Christians in Mandate or pre-Mandate Palestine.
You can back up your data with many proofs but the Arab mind is incapable of intellectual honesty.
