Despite the substantial documentation assembled by Peters, demonstrating massive Arab immigration into Palestine, anti-Israel propagandists continue to deny it. Based on what we know today, and the simple truths of basic math, the issue has become clear and unambiguous. All historic records indicate that only insignificant number of long-term settled Muslims were present in Palestine before 1882, when the large Jewish immigration began. Muslim Arab numbers increased dramatically as Jewish settlements developed infrastructure and provided work opportunities to Arabs from the neighboring countries.
Also worth noting is that the “indigenous” 4.3% comprised many non-Arab nationalities. All of them were swamped by the Arab immigrants and within a few generations largely lost their identity.
Given the complete absence of any historical record to the contrary, we can authoritatively say that the “Palestinian people” never existed until they were invented in the 1960s as a tool for continuing the Arab war against Israel.
The claim that “Palestinians” are the indigenous people of Israel and that most of the present Palestinian Arabs have lived in these lands since time immemorial is a total fraud. Albeit posthumously, Joan Peters has had the last word on the subject.

Thought you’d find this interesting if not seen before.... I didn’t find it in search of FR.
There is no Palestinian blood.
No genetic marker for Palestinian.
No Palestinian art.
No Palestinian artifacts
No where is there to be found architectural digs, sites of so called Palestinians.
There is no Palestinian language.
Lastly, there is no Palestinian history.
And........... there are no Palestinian achievements either.

Isn’t it interesting that Palestinian sounds like Philistine?
Also, IIRC, most of those few indigenous, pre-Zionist, inhabitants didn’t own where they were living, under the law (Ottoman) of that place and time. Rather it was mostly owned by absentee Ottoman landlords. From whom the Zionists BOUGHT their land. And at the time those Ottoman landlords thought they were getting MUCH more than what they thought their land was worth.
God gave that land to the Jews. Plain and simple.
Christians have been living in Israel for 2000 years. Surely that counts for something.
Your comments have nothing to do with the article. Anti-semitism is not welcome on FR.
“... their we see through there web of lies now ...

Is English your first language?
They also gave to the world Black September, Yassir Arafart, blowing up innocents, hijacking, airport massacres, Olympic murders (1972), civil wars (Lebanon), civil wars, (Jordan), fake peace agreements, congenital lying, bellyaching and general playing impoverished peoples looking for their so-called “RIGHTS”. Why get a state and be responsible for their own nation building when they can, kill or call for the killing of the Jews masked in a term called, the “Resistance”???
So, don't tell me they have not contributed to the world or enriched us with their knowledge and behavior...
Everyone seems to be pretending that the Christian Palestinians don’t exist. As usual.
What about the substantial Christian populations of Bethlehem and Galilee? Conveniently down the memory hole, right?
You are right.
Too many have zero interest in the actual Christians of the region... except a mention now and then, when it seems politically advantageous.
Typical example is the statement of Ted Cruz to Arab Christians: “If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you.”
Wow. That was good.
But even if there was proof of any of those, it still wouldn’t mean Israelis have to pack up and leave.
There’s proof in many countries that a prior culture inhabited the land once.
Whether they died off, lost the land to war, famine, whatever...it doesn’t really matter so many years after the fact.
It’s called life and it’s unfair sometimes. Tough.
One thing about American Indians, even though I think they need to let go of the past and move on. They DONT blow up people and buildings and kill elderly and young Americans in individual or small group attacks.
“Palestinians” should realize they are pawns of arab countries, forget this nonsense and build a life for themselves.
Maybe they need some casinos :)

And strangely enough; there are no Palestinians...
Not true! They invented the cell phone bomb.
