Okay, now what? We’ve redefined the Palestinian people out of existence as a separate entity. What comes next? Convince the Palestinians that they don’t really exist? Turn them all into Israeli citizens? Israel already sees a demographic problem with Arab population growth. Convince the Jordanians and Egyptians to accept them as their citizens? Good luck with that one.

The only people called Palestinians were the Jewish settlers prior to 1967. These Jews were considered settlers in the Palestinian Mandate set aside by the League of Nations as a home for the dispersed Jews of the world. Unfortunately the British reneged from their promise and gave two thirds of the mandate to a Saudi Prince and named the country Trans-Jordan.

Miraculously,once all the Arab armies were defeated for the third time (1947, 1956, and 1967)the term Palestinians started being applied to the Arab citizens, who had been given Jordanian citizenship prior to 1967.

Jordan backed off its claim to the West Bank, which it had occupied since 1947 (Jordan already occupies two thirds of the Palestinian Mandate promised to Jews as a state).

A new issue arose, the big bad Goliath State of Israel was now oppressing the newly named Palestinians, most of whom had immigrated into the area from other Arab states in order to create an increased Arab presence in the Mandate.

Read Innocent Abroad by Samuel Clemons. The area was desolate and had very few residents in the late 1800’s. Jewish settlers moved to their homeland as a result of Pogoms in Russia and discrimination elsewhere. They drained the swamps, irrigated the deserts, and prospered. Arabs migrated also.

Jerusalem, until the Arab armies occupied it in 1948, was predominately a Jewish city. Between 1948 and 1967 Jordan destroyed Jewish worship centers, dug up Jewish graves, gave land and property that Jews had paid dearly for to Arabs, and built up the myth of the Dome of the Rock being the second holiest Muslim site. King Hussein covered the Dome of the Rock with gold. Until this time the Dome of the Rock was a run down mosque. There are pictures of it from the 1800’s and early 1900’s to prove that it was run down. Please realize all those who call themselves Arabs are originally from the Arabian Peninsula and went out from there to conquer the world for Islam. Jewish people are of the tribe of Judah (the Southern Kingdom) and Jerusalem was its capital. Since 1000 BC, no other nation has ever had Jerusalem as its capitol. There has never been a Palestinian nation, a Palestinian capitol, a Palestinian government, until Israel bowed to pressure to let Arafat back in, with the promise from him that he would make peace, and recognize Israels right to exist.
