Hadrian's Curse: The Secret All The Arabs Know
At the Annapolis Conference, President Bush spoke about his vision regarding the virtues of two nations for two peoples.
One of those peoples the Jewish people has a clear identity. Yet it would be interesting to know the identity of the second people. Already in 1977, a central spokesman of that second people (a PLO leader, Zahir Muhsein, head of the as-Saiqa Organization) revealed the truth in an interview to the Dutch newspaper Trouw. Here are his words:
The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism for tactical reasons. Jordan, a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa. As a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.
Are you in shock? If the Palestinian people do not exist, what does exist? Arabs who live in Eretz Yisrael, and who have disguised themselves asPalestinians for fraudulent purposes. Only a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel in Muhseins words. A fraud so successful that even George W. Bush can be found seeking a state for that fraud!
Do you think Zahir Muhsein is alone? This transparent fraud about the so-called existence of Palestine is revealed to us by all Arab leaders.
In 1974, the late Syrian President, Hafez al-Assad,declared, It would be fitting for us to mention to the responsible Israeli authorities that we view Palestine not just as an inseparable part of the Arab nation, but also as a part of southern Syria. In 1987 he reiterated this at a conference in Amman by saying, A country named Palestine has never existed. Jordans King Hussein responded, The appearance of the national Palestinian persona serves as a response to Israels claim that Palestine is Jewish.
Yet the prize goes to Yasir Arafat who, in 1970 with candid simplicity, told the reporter Arianna Palazzi, The question of borders doesnt interest us From the Arab standpoint, we mustnt talk about borders. Palestine is nothing but a drop in an enormous ocean. Our nation is the Arabic nation that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond it The PLO is fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism. What you call Jordan is nothing more than Palestine.
Such revelations are an eye-opener for anyone who has not understood until now the masked ball being run by the Arabs. The true meaning of Arafats words that Palestine is Jordan is that for the Arabic people living under the Pan-Arab umbrella, in addition to over 20 Arabic countries, there is already a country called Jordan that was established by the British for the Arabs on 78 percent of the Land of Israel. This is land promised to the Jewish people by the League of Nations in 1922.
Anywhere else on earth, could an additional country be established for a people that already has 21 countries?
All the same, there is nothing like the testimony of a PLO founder, Ahmed Shukari. Already in 1956 he proclaimed from the UN podium, as the Arab Leagues ambassador there, Such a creature as Palestine does not exist at all. This land is nothing but the southern portion of Greater Syria
And if Ahmed Shukari says that Palestine does not exist at all, the logical inference is that Palestinians also do not exist. That same Shukari was born to a Turkish mother in Lebanon, was a Jordanian lawyer, served as the Syrian ambassador to the UN, the Arab Leagues ambassador to the UN, and the Saudis UN ambassador. In 1964, after this talented actor who changed loyalties like a chameleon was fired by the Saudis, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser hired him to found the PLO, an organization dedicated to the liberation of a country that in his own words did not even exist.
All the prominent spokesmen of that poor, homeless people openly say the following: The Arabs who live in Eretz Yisrael are precisely the same Arabs who live in Syria, Jordan or Lebanon. They are not a separate country, but a fragment of the enormous Arab nation divided among many Arab countries. In their identity they are Arabs, and the invention of Palestine is just a transparent bluff a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel for our Arab unity.
Can any testimony be better than that of the Arabs themselves, by exposing the lies and deceptions involved in Palestines creation?
Yet the most compelling argument for the idea that the Palestinian people is a fraudulent invention (and that the Arabs are all one people) was expounded by none other than Mr. Husseini, head of the Supreme Arab Committee to the UN special committee that was deliberating on Eretz Yisrael in 1947. Here are his words:
An additional consideration of great importance for the Arab world is racial uniformity. The Arabs lived in a broad expanse stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean. They spoke one language, and shared a common history, tradition and aspirations. Their unity was the solid foundation for peace in one of the most central and sensitive regions in the world. For that reason, it does not make sense that the United Nations should facilitate the establishment of a foreign entity within that well-rooted unity.
Indeed, Husseini is correct. His declaration before the UNs investigative committee exposes the simple fact that there is no Palestinian language and no unique Palestinian culture. The Palestinians are Arabs, and they cannot be set apart from the Jordanians, Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc.
Remove from the argument the lies, and you reveal that the conflict is taking place between the Arabic, Muslim empire of 21 states and the Jewish people claiming their right to their one and only historic homeland, consisting of less than one fifth of one percentof the lands under Arab control.
This is the twisted story of the biggest, most unprecedented fraud in history. It involves such a successful bluff that many people have no doubt about its veracity. This propaganda has become a powerful weapon whereby Israels enemies, the Arabs, are trying to conquer Eretz Yisrael without firing a shot and without an army, tanks or jets
Hadrian's Curse: The Arabs' Ultimate Goal (Part II)
Following the Six-Day War, the Arab countries, defeated by a small country determined to survive, understood that Israel would be unbeatable militarily. They understood that the Israeli Samson could only be vanquished through the cunning of the Philistine Delilah. And thats what happened. Henceforth there would be no more cries firing up the masses to genocide but, instead, a complex melody carefully aimed at the delicate western ear. The Arabs discovered that it was easier to convince the world of the rights of the poor, small, deprived Palestinian people to its own state than to justify the demand of the enormous Arab empire for more territory from a tiny country fighting for its life.
The Palestinian people are a deliberate fabrication of Arab countries defeated in battle, a Trojan horse for conquering Eretz Yisrael, as Faisal Husseini said after the Oslo Accords.
So was born the worldwide propaganda campaign that turned matters on their head. The Israeli David and Arab Goliath begot an Israeli Goliath oppressing a Palestinian David. The object was to blot out the name and identity of ancient, Biblical Eretz Yisrael, and to turn it into Palestinian land.
This lie gained such a strong foothold in the media and the bastions of liberalism that no one has paid any attention to the simple truths spoken openly by Zahir Muhsein, Hafez al-Assad, Ahmed Shukari, King Hussein or Yasir Arafat.
Through brainwashing, fabrications and taking advantage of the worlds ignorance and the international medias superficiality, a process has been going on in broad daylight for several dozen years of rewriting history. As Goebbels and Hitler, the arch propagandists of the 20th century, said derisively, the bigger the lie, the more people will believe in it.
Feeding the Palestinian lie will put an end to the identity of Eretz Yisrael, and we, in turn, will lose our right to the Land. For if there are Palestinians, that means there is also a land called Palestine and if there is a Palestine, there is no Eretz Yisrael.
The worst part of this is that many Israeli Jews have themselves fallen into the propaganda trap, and it is they who are letting in the Trojan horse that will destroy our Lands identity. This war is not being waged by means of weapons and armies, or over physical territory. It is being waged on the battlefields of awareness of the Lands identity. The Roman name Philistia was a fiction invented by the Roman emperor Hadrian after the Bar Kochba Revolt in 135 C.E., a fiction of Hadrian then and a fiction to the same degree of the Arabs today.
It is a fabrication that represents no people, not then and not today. It was conceived for one purpose only, namely to wipe out a lands identity. If the land is called Palestine, the Jewish people are occupiers. If it is called Eretz Yisrael, the Arabs are occupiers.
The Palestinian identity is tactical, artificial and temporary, just a tool in the pan-Arab struggle against Israel. The amazing thing is that its all out in the open. Section 12 of the Palestinian charter, with these words, summarizes the idea of this temporary identity:
The Palestinian people believe in Arab unification. It believes that in order to achieve this goal, it must, at this stageof its national struggle, preserve all the components of its Palestinian persona, increase awareness of its existence and reject all plans liable to weaken it or make it disappear.
Are there another people in the world that writes in its charter the expression, at this stage? And what will be in the next stage? Obviously after conquering Israel, the territory will be divided between Arab countries, and those Arab countries will throw Palestine into the dustbin of history.
As Arafat said, the Palestinian people are a fiction. The same goes for the Jordanian people, and all the other Arabic-speaking peoples in the Middle East. They have no separate identities, but are part of the great Arab nation. By their self-definition, they cannot be divided into a number of peoples with individual identities. Rather they constitute one nation consisting of many states, as Arafat himself said in an incautious moment.
For the sophisticated Saudis, with their Saudi Peace Plan, it is clear that its purpose is not to actualize the rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination for no such people exist. They conceal the truth that the great Arab nation has already actualized its right to self-determination by establishing a large number of countries, one of which extends over about 78 percent of the area of mandatory Eretz Yisrael. For the Arabs, exploding with laughter over the Wests foolishness, it is clear that if an additional Arab state arises in the western portion of Eretz Yisrael, it will not serve the right of self-determination, but rather the demand of imperial conquest of all of Eretz Yisrael by the Arab nation. Is George W. Bush & Co. dragging Israel to its destruction?
The Palestinian lie is exposed precisely when we listen to authentic Arab voices. The prominent Arab historian, Dr. Philip Hitti, expressed himself as follows at the 1947 Anglo-American commission of inquiry at the State Department: Sir, Palestine never existed throughout history. Absolutely not!
Professor Juhan Hazam, testifying at that same commission, said, Before 1917, when Balfour made his declaration, there had never been a Palestinian question, and there was no Palestine as a political or geographic unit.
A local Arab leader, Abd al-Mahdi, testifying before the 1937 Peel Commission, said, There is no such land. Palestine is a term invented by the Zionists. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our land was for hundreds of years a part of Syria.
Were there the slightest truth to the claim regarding the historicity of a Palestinian people, we should certainly have expected to find it mentioned in the history books, encyclopedias and archaeological research.

Tsafrir Ronen is a member of the secular kibbutz, Ein Charod. He is a media personality, serves in the elite army unit, Sayeret Matkal, and was one of the founders of the Nahalal Forum on Behalf of the Entire Eretz Yisrael. He is presently preparing a documentary film on the Arab/Palestine myth.
At the same time there are "others" living in the midst of the Arabic sea who really are different.
The Druze, for example, have an anomalously high percentage of the "X Factor" found mostly in the Sa'ami, Chippawa and Berber people.
There are some areas with substantial Central Asian backgrounds.
Whatever was believed in 1977 about the ethno-history and genetic background of Middle Eastern populations has to be set aside now in the light of better information.

Interesting reading like this is what led me to ask you to place me on your ping list.
Thanks for posting this. I am emailing this one to lots of folks.
WRONG!!!!!!
Genetic testing shows Jews to be different from the Arabs.
We are closest to the Kurdish people .
philistinians
Wrong again!!!!
Genetic testing shows Iranians to be genetically similar to other Indo-europeans, and less with neighboring Arabs
The author is addressing culture. There is no distinct palestinian culture or heritage, distinct from their Arab brothers. Heck, 80 years ago they were complaining about their separation from Syria, French rather than British control.
DNA aside, Iranians, aka the original Aryans, formerly Persians for a few millenia, wouldn't appreciate being referred to as Arabs.
DNA aside, I've heard I'm 93% gorilla, I think the author was addressing cultural and political traditions. And for the palestinians, those are essentially Arab traditions.
Thanks. As you know it’s not a huge interest, but I’ll probably go fishing this weekend.
It would be difficult to believe genetic separation in that area could be maintained over the 6,000 or so years civilization has been extant there. Just the common trade in brides for cows would have mixed them up.
You are correct. Jordan was created to be the Palestine state. I think the British called it Trans-jordan. Very well articulated. Especially where you state the whole world even the Israeli’s have not bought into the Myth of the Palestinians.
what Arabs have not achieved in war, the Socialist-Marxist Jews may achieve "in peace"....the complete destruction of the Israeli State.
If I discuss African DNA again, I'll get banned .............. FRegards
He delegitimized any claims by Arabicized people in the Middle East to any part of the Levant except as that might be allowed by descendants of the "True Arabs" ~ the folks who currently run Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
I thought it was interesting he was willing to cough up some legitimacy for the Palestinians ~ 'cause usually the "True Arabs" think of them as little different than any of the other Arabicized people in the region.
So, yes, genetic testing is in order if only to figure out what the differences are between the "True Arabs" and anybody else around there. Depending on "culture" and "history" will not satisfy the demands of the "True Arabs" to dominate the area (even if they did so for only a short while in the early period of the Arab Empire).
Being a Hashemite is such a burden for some of these guys you'd almost feel sorry for them if you didn't know they'd bring back slavery in an instant if the rest of the world would just disappear.
Back on the Iranians, there's a book out showing differences in 6 populations in Iran. Still, the greater part of the people are essentially the same as the Iraqi Arabs in the South. They simply speak a different language.

These "refugia" are where the Ice Age European people were driven during periods of peak glaciation. There are 3 such "refugia" in the Western Mediterranean and the people whose ancestors lived there have differences from the others.
The Ice Age was tough on the Europeans!
I admit i don't consider that claim any more legitimate than the DNA issue.
The Turks lost the war, new nations, a whole bunch not just Israel, were created. That's about it.
Haven't looked at it closely, but it definitely upsets everybody's applecart!
I think in these desert countries the guys who live on the shorelines get to name the territory with those in the hinterlands (e.g. up in the mountains) just having to go along with it.
