Well,*somebody* is going to be in that big cemetery in the Valley of Hamongog.

[mgstarr]

Will they tell us where “Palestine” is?

[boomop1]

There is no such thing as a Palestine State, you French *ickhead.

Dear dumb Frog. There IS not a such place as Palestine. It is a Roman army general’s made-up idiot statement over the land of Israel using Israel’s ancient enemy, the Philistines. There was no state of Palestine. No people called Palestinians until the Egyptian leader of the PLO, Yazzersir A$$fat called them this made-up name.

No peace will ever exist in that region until the religion of hate, rape, lies and misogyny changes its teaching or is totally eliminated. We all know which of those two will not happen.

[JSM_Liberty]

It was called Palestine long before Arafat

from 1915 for example

“Will they tell us where “Palestine” is?’

Pretty sure it’s the suburbs around Paris.

Or it seems to be so, last time I was in Paris. I barely saw an actual Frenchman there.

[MeanWestTexan]

Yeah, the flag was this:



And it's money was this:

Macron capitulating to a proxy of Islam. UNaccountable bureaucrats approve. Civilization suffers.

It's been so long since France surrendered to
another country they had to invent one on the fly.

"Vive le tradizione."

[silverleaf]

Thats just wonderful
Now will the palestinians recognize Israel?

Or even France as nonmuslim land

[frank ballenger]

Anything for world peace. Like the Miss America contestants say.

What’s particularly funny, is “Palestinian” used to be an Arab slur for Jews, and was such until around 1970.

You probably know all this, but for the other readers:

The whole area was the Ottoman Empire, and this was just part of the province of Syria. The occupants for 2,000 years were generally Jews in Jerusalem and scattered about, with some Christians in Bethlehem, and some wandering Bedouins.

The Arabs in Gaza are migrant Egyptians who came for work in the early 1900s as Jews turned essentially abandoned land into something modern.

The entire “Palestinian” switch-a-roo really depends on willful ignorance in the West.

“A” Palestinian state. Which one is it? The Gaza Strip? The West Bank? Some mysterious tract of land yet to be carved out of Israel?

The world has yet to define what a “Palestinian” is.

My first visit to Israel in the ‘70s I met some old people who still had British Mandate IDs. The ID papers identified Jews as ‘Palestinian’ and Muslims as ‘Arab’.
