Likely of Kurdish origin (al-Kurd), immigrant, a so called "Palestinian", who's twin "activist" posted Hitler photo and is anti-American, is now "correspondent" for 'The Nation' for... "Palestine"

Oh my goodness.

That headline is proof-positive that it’s all-to-easy to over-use the scare quote.

No. Joe Xiden is not a “successful was criminal”. He is a “successful is criminal”.

I've seen those accounts on Twitter.

Kurds are NOT Palestinians. Period.

They claim to be descendant from the Ezidi (Yzidi).

Palestinians are Jordanian. Jordan does not want to claim them because they are nothing but trouble.

There was never a nation of people who were Palestinians. The English messed up a lot of things in the Middle East. This is one of them.

I had close friends who were Kurds. Still have some friends who are.

There are some of Kurdish decent who were turned by the Turks. They are know to be treacherous supporters of Erdoo the Islamist Dictator of Turkey. They are traitors to their own people.

In general. Most Kurds are not anti west. Some even work with US, Israel and others against jihadists. But this twin, Muhamnad and Muna el-Kurd "activists" do not identify themselves as Kurds... but as a so called "palestinians" - so they can claim the land.

You need not tell me about Kurds. I was in daily contact with them for 7+ years.

The ones in N. Syria are very pro Western and good people. Some are lefties, others are not.

I’ve had contact with some in Europe too. They are very candid and offered to explain anything I wanted to know about them.

Thanks.

There was never a nation called Palestine. Long ago a map the English created labled part of the Middle East as Palestine.

So called Palestinians are run by Islamic Terrorists. They are taught to hate so much they use their own children to draw fire. And I’ve seen them use them as a shield.

I looked at you home screen. Not sure where you are coming from but I don’t think you know much about what you cut and pasted there.

just another Nazi type publication now, despite its more varied history
it is worthless now

thanks to its recent editorship
it is crap

The article on Palestine in my Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, published before WWI when Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire, mentions the Jewish settlements, but clearly states that the only Muslims living there that consider themselves “Palestinian” are the nomadic herders. The rest consider themselves a citizens of the surrounding Ottoman controlled states.

Who are the Palestinians?
18/04/2012

Hamas Interior Minister Fathi Hamed claimed in a speech broadcast in al-Jazeera on March 23, 2012 (quoted by Memri) in favor of Arab-Muslim solidarity, stating, among other things, that the Palestinians’ origins are in fact Egyptian and Saudi:

“Thus, the conspiracy becomes clear. Al-Aqsa and Palestine represent the arrowhead of Islam. Therefore, when we ask for help from our Arab brethren, we do not ask for help to eat, live, drink, dress or to live a life of luxury. No. When we ask them to Help, this is done solely to continue the jihad efforts.

Blessed be Allah. We all have Arab roots. And any Palestinian in Gaza and all of Palestine can prove his Arab roots. Whether it’s Saudi Arabia, Yemen or anywhere else. We have blood ties. So where is your compassion and brotherhood?

Personally, half of my family is Egyptian. We’re all here like that. More than thirty families in Gaza are called al-Egyptian (from Egypt). Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptian, and the other half are Saudi.

Who are the Palestinians? We have many families known as al-Egyptian [al-Masri], whose roots are Egyptian. Egypt! They came from Alexandria, Cairo, Madumita, the North, Aswan and Upper Egypt. We are Egyptian. We are Arabs. We are Muslims. We are an integral part of you. “

Yoram Ettinger expanded on this topic in a recent article published in The Nation, (Spring, March 2012, Issue 185):

While most Palestinians are Arab-Muslims, the origin of the name Palestine - designed to help the Roman Empire erase the Jewish people and the Land of Judah from the history books - is in Palestine whose inhabitants, the Philistines, came from the Aegean and Phoenician islands.

While the Arab-Muslims came to Israel in the seventh century AD, the Philistines were expelled from Greece in 1300 BC and settled in the coastal plain of Israel in 1200 BC.

Palestine has never been an entity with a unique political, geographical, cultural, national identity. Palestine has always been part of a broader entity and its inhabitants did not see themselves as having an independent identity, but as Arabs, Muslims, Ottomans or Syrians. The renowned Arab historian George Antonius demarcated Palestinian territory in 1939 as part of Greater Syria, and in March 1974 Hafez Assad declared: “Palestine is a fundamental part of southern Syria.”

In contrast, the American leftist, the pacifist, one of the founders of the American Civil Rights Union, John Haynes Holmes, wrote in 1929 in his book, Palestine Today and Tomorrow: A home for a Jew except the mountains and wells of his ancient kingdom ... Everywhere else the Jew is in exile ... Scrape the ground everywhere in Palestine and you will find Israel ... There is no road, spring, mountain or village that does not resonate Jewish names ... A Jew has “In Palestine, a higher mission than an economy ... The mission is to restore Zion and Zion is Palestine.”

Reality shows that the Land of Israel was the cradle of Jewish identity about two thousand years before the advent of Islam, and the connection between the Jewish people and their land was never severed.

Contrary to popular belief, the Arabs of Judea and Samaria have not been here since time immemorial, a Palestinian people have not lost their land, a Palestinian state did not exist and there is no basis for a “return claim” and assumption that Jews immigrated to Israel compared to Arabs.

Most of the Arabs west of Jordan are descendants of Muslim immigrants who came to the region in 1947-1845 from Sudan, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria, as well as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Morocco, Bosnia, the Caucasus, India, Afghanistan, Balochistan, Kurdistan and Turkmenistan. .

Arab workers were imported - especially from Egypt, Syria and Lebanon - by the Ottoman Empire and the British Mandate for the establishment of infrastructure such as the port of Haifa; the Haifa-Kantra, Haifa-Adrei (1905), Haifa-Nablus (1914) and Jerusalem-Jaffa (1892) railways; Army, roads, quarries, swamp drying, etc. Arab immigrants also immigrated to the area to enjoy the economic growth that followed the annual Jewish aliyah from 1882. Haifa’s Arab population jumped from 6,000 in 1880 to 80,000 in 1919, as a result of labor migration Foreigners, British Occupation and Jewish Settlement Upgraded Employment Infrastructure World War II accelerated Arab migration to Palestine for British military infrastructure work.

According to a report by the British Peel Commission from 1937 (Palestine Betrayed, Prof. Ephraim Karsh, Yale University Press, 2010, p. 12): “The increase in the Arab population is particularly noticeable in the urban concentrations affected by Jewish development. 1922 and 1931 document an increase of 86% in Haifa, 62% in Jaffa and 37% in Jerusalem, compared with only 7% in Nablus and Hebron and a decrease of 2% in Gaza. “

The Arab population of Jaffa, Haifa and Ramla has jumped 17, 12 and 5 times as a result of massive waves of immigration, and despite the departure of many Arabs due to the inter-Arab violence west of Jordan.

The Egyptian conquest (up to Syria) by Muhammad Ali in the years 1840-1831 led to an influx of immigrants from Sudan and Egypt who settled between Gaza and Tulkarm to the Hula Valley. Here they met thousands of Egyptian immigrants who fled to Acre to evade military service. , Acre, Hadera, Netanya and Jaffa in 1865 by the renowned British geographer, HB Tristram on page 495 in his book: Land of Israel journal of travels in Palestine.

Neighborhoods of Egyptian immigrants in Jaffa, such as Sheikh Munis (Ramat Aviv), Abu Kabir, Somail, Selma and Paja were documented by the British Palestine Exploration Fund, and in 1917 there were Muslims in Jaffa from 25 countries, including Iran, Afghanistan , India and Balochistan. Egyptian immigrants also settled in Taibeh, Qalansawa, Kfar Qassem, Ara and Arara. In 1908, Yemeni immigration settled in Jaffa. Immigrants from Horen starred in the ports of Jaffa and Haifa.

“36,000-30,000 Syrian immigrants (Horanim) have arrived in Palestine in recent months,” the Syrian daily La Syrie reported on August 12, 1934. Izz ad-Din al-Qassem, an anti-British and Jewish terrorist leader in the 1920s and 1930s and a symbol of terrorism Hamas was a Syrian immigrant, as were Said al-’Az, one of the leaders of the 1939-36 riots, and Koukaji, commander of the Arab Rescue Army.

Libyan immigrants settled in Gedera, Algerians settled in Safed and Tiberias alongside Syrians, Jordanians and Bedouins, and Circassians, Bosnians, Yemenis, Turkmen and other Muslim immigrants settled west of Jordan.

A large number of 1948 refugees returned to their families in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, as many Arabs did during the 1936-39 riots.

In 1869, Mark Twain wrote in “A Journey of Pleasures to the Holy Land” (”Levinsen House Publishing, 1972, pp. 162-3, 188):” Of all the countries known for the ugly landscape, I think it [Palestine] deserves the championship crown. The hills are bald .... the valleys are deserts .... the Sea of Death and the Galilee Sea lie in the heart of a space of hill and plain where your gaze encounters no pleasant hue .... This is a land of wealth, futility and heartbreak .... I was happy If I could see the banks of the Jordan in the spring, and Nablus, the Jezreel Valley, the Ayalon and the borders of the Galilee - but even then these places would look like tiny gardens sown tiny there and tiny there across an endless wilderness .... A curse rests on her that has dried up her fields and plagued Ona .... There is nothing growing other than weeds .... Nazareth a city that has forgotten God. Around the Jordan crossings where the tribes of Israel entered the land of destiny, you find nothing but a shabby camp of ridiculous desert Bedouins. Cursed Jericho is a crumbling mound of ruins, just as Joshua left it in his masterpieces over three thousand years ago. Bethlehem and Beit Ani’a, for their poverty and slums .... Even the famous Jerusalem has lost all its ancient greatness and has become a village of Halachaim .... the famous Sea of Galilee ... desolation and silence. Capernaum is a mound of ruins .... desolate and ugly .... Could it be that the curse of heaven is a land oasis? .... The definition of the journey as the great pleasure journey to the Holy Land was wrong. It was much more deserving of publicity as “the great funeral procession to the Holy Land.”

Joan Peters quotes in her book, “Since and Promoting” (published by Kibbutz Hameuchad, 1988) - written in consultation with the leading scholars of the Middle East - Professors Phi. Jay. Vatikiotis, Eli Kadouri and Bernard Lewis, and with the assistance of historian Martin Gilbert and professors Fred Gotthail and Walter Lacier - the American historian Herman Wes, who wrote in 1953: “ In the 19th century, the Land of Israel was desolate, the systems of canals and irrigation from ancient times were destroyed, and the wonderful fertility of which the Bible spoke was to the wilderness of the wilderness .... The [British] Foundation for the Exploration of the Land of Israel “:” There is nothing to see there [in Jerusalem] except some of the ancient walls and everything else resembles a disgraceful plot of land “(p. 161).

“Since then and promotes” documents Arab immigration to Eretz Israel - which was accelerated following the Jewish aliyah. For example, in 1939, President Roosevelt wrote to the US Secretary of State that “since 1921, the emigration of Arabs to Israel has greatly increased Jewish immigration (p. 376).” “Ibrahim Pasha, the Egyptian occupier, left behind permanent settlements of Egyptian immigrants in Beit She’an, Nablus, Acre and Jaffa, where about five hundred families of Egyptian soldiers settled and established a new neighborhood .... Thanks to this reinforcement and Jewish settlement, which began in 1830, Jaffa began To grow .... A large part of the Muslim settlement that remained in the Land of Israel was a settlement of a crossing, as Sheriff Hussein said ... (pp. 171-2) “. In 1878, Circassians, Algerians, Egyptians, Druze, Turks, Kurds, Bosniaks and others entered Palestine. After the Egyptian conquest of 1831 .... In 1858 the British consul, James Payne, reported that the Muslims in Jerusalem make up barely a quarter of the population [Jews constitute a relative majority from 1850 and an absolute majority from 1880] .... (p. 196-7).

“According to the 1931 census of the Land of Israel, there were at least 23 languages among Muslims .... Non-Jews counted at least 24 countries - except Europe and America - as birthplaces ... such as Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen, Persia, Kurdistan, Turkey, Central Asia, Afghanistan, India, Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Tunisia, Bosnia, Albania, and more (pp. 224-6) ....

Joan Peters (ibid.) Also documents the British Mandate War on Jewish immigration and the encouragement of Arab immigration to Israel. For example, in 1926 the British Commissioner for Entry Issues said: “It is agreed that refugees who look like Syrians, Lebanese or Palestinians will be allowed to enter Israel without a passport or visa” (p. 262). The “White Paper” of 1930 granted the right to purchase land to Arabs and not to Jews, and restricted the immigration of Jews to the improvement of Arab demography (p. 291). In 1940, the British High Commissioner ordered that there be no Jews among the Polish soldiers who came to Israel, even though the Jews supported the war against the Nazis while the Arabs supported the Nazis (pp. 336-338) ....

Peters proves that the claim to Palestinian nationalism is based on rewriting history and violent incitement against the Jewish people, and therefore “does not deserve respect”, and there should be no excuse for the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world .... They believe that their ‘dream’ of ‘identity’ can only come true at the cost of the destruction of a people .... .

Aryeh Avnery states in his book, Jewish Settlement and the Claim of Expropriation (”United Kibbutz Publishing”, 1980, translated from an English edition): “There were many cases in which an occupation led to the creation of a national entity. “It was difficult to refute the Arabs’ claim to historical continuity in Palestine. But this is not the case. The Arabs who lived in the country 100 years ago, with the beginning of Jewish settlement, were a small number left from a tumultuous Arab population, as a result of internal conflicts.” ‘13-11). In 1554, there were 205,000 Muslims, Christians and Jews in the Land of Israel. In 1800 the population numbered 275,000 people. The population of Palestine underwent upheavals due to the Napoleonic War (1799), the Egyptian conquest (1840-1831), the suppression of revolts, the retreats of the occupiers, earthquakes (1837), diseases, economic crises, and more.

The Arab claim to the existence of an Arab people in Palestine since time immemorial, and the attempt to undermine the moral, historical and geographical right to Jewish sovereignty over the Land of Israel, fuel Arab hatred and terrorism, constitute a major obstacle to peace, perpetuate war, distance peace from reality.

Peters' book has been discredited.

Ettinger was employed by the Israeli government.

The world is full of countries that only became self-conscious nations in recent history.

I have read the unconvincing criticism by “Palestinian” (Edward Said etc.) On Joan Peters.
Of course there are new stares all over. The problem is when grandchildren of immigrants claim they have been there for generations.

Are you kidding?

The NATION was always a commie publication from its inception.
