Arabs in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza Scrambling to Create a History

Mudar Zahran

Afraid and helpless, Jordan's regime has turned to the oldest trick in the book: beating the Israeli ‎drum. The regime knows that if a new intifada breaks out in Israel, this ‎could buy it more time in power; the world would be too busy to let it go and Jordan's ‎public would be distracted by anti-Israel hatred once again

Is There a Modern-Day International Judenrat?

During the six year genocide of Jews in Europe there were, surprisingly -- or not -- Jews that profited from the horrific situation their bretheren were in.
 
  As far back as 1933, Nazi policy makers had discussed establishing Jewish-led institutions to carry out anti-Jewish policies. Thus the Judenrat was born. Some Jews were drafted and others volunteered. Those of integrity left the Judenrat as soon as they realized they were required to colaborate with the nazis against their own people. Those that willfully served in the Judenrat did so for reasons of personal gain --  security of a regular income, great profits from extortion of fellow Jews, and preferential treatment by the Nazis. All of this of course, was at the expense of the general Jewish population.

Without exception, whether in biblical times or modern times, Jews have always been at the height of their affluence and intoxication at being allowed to hobnob amongst non-Jews. But defeat was never with the sudden blow of an ax. It was always the result of a very clear and methodical publicized campaign - a plan for all to see – destroy the Jews. We Jews always choose not to see it. What an interesting phenomenon. Moreso interesting is the fact that we allow Jews to walk among us supporting our oppressors.

It's only been 70 since the last attempt to wipe the Jewish People off the face of the earth, and yet here we are again. Jews, more loyal to liberal progressive ideas are leading the world toward the next Jewish Holocaust.

But is it for ideas alone that these treasonous Jewish individuals and organizations work against Israel? Probably not. Many of these Jews belong to NGOs funded with astronomical sums of money by countries and individuals that either openly call for the destruction of Israel as a Jewish State or mildly disguise their intent.

It would be interesting to learn just what size of monthly income it takes for, say, leaders of "Breaking the Silence," or "B'Tselem" to work against the good of their own people. To travel the world bad-mouthing the very society that they grew up in. They say they are trying to make real change, but if this were true why would they not make use of the democratic institutions and tools available in the thriving democracy at home in Israel? Could it be that these individuals would otherwise be unemployed? Is it possible they enjoy being the center of attention? Any guess will do as it is impossible for a logical person to understand what make's a Jew wake up in the morning and decide that he is now working for the enemies of his own country and his own people.

Many American Jews and Israeli Jews, living comfortable lives, have taken up a new hobby -- bringing Israel to her knees. "J-street" and the "New Israel Fund" have the audacity to sit in the luxury of  the richest country in the world, forcefully undermining Israel's democratic processesses. Such arrogance can only exist in a society of fat overfed pseudo-intellectuals that have the sustenance to lose touch with reality and reshape the physics of a mankind's moral compass.

Observations of 'Adrian Reland' of Palestine in 1695

Taken from Robert Spencer's Original Article, Israel's Voice 

Adrian Reland's 3 most prominent conclusions in 1695 from his book 'Palestina', published by Trajecti Batavorum: Ex Libraria G. Brodelet, 1714

1. Not one settlement in the Land of Israel has a name that is of Arabic origin. Most of the settlement names originate in the Hebrew, Greek, Latin or Roman languages. In fact, till today, except to Ramlah, not one Arabic settlement has an original Arabic name. Till today, most of the settlements names are of Hebrew or Greek origin, the names distorted to senseless Arabic names. There is no meaning in Arabic to names such as Acco (Acre), Haifa, Jaffa, Nablus, Gaza, or Jenin and towns named Ramallah, El Halil and El-Kuds (Jerusalem) lack historical roots or Arabic philology. In 1696, the year Relandi toured the land, Ramallah, for instance, was called Bet’allah (From the Hebrew name Beit El) ...

2. Most of the land was empty, desolate.
Most of the land was empty, desolate, and the inhabitants few in number and mostly concentrate in the towns Jerusalem, Acco, Tzfat, Jaffa, Tiberius and Gaza. Most of the inhabitants were Jews and the rest Christians. There were few Muslims, mostly nomad Bedouins. Nablus, known as Shchem, was exceptional, where approximately 120 people, members of the Muslim Natsha family and approximately 70 Shomronites, lived.

In the Galilee capital, Nazareth, lived approximately 700 Christians and in Jerusalem approximately 5000 people, mostly Jews and some Christians.

The interesting part was that Relandi mentioned the Muslims as nomad Bedouins who arrived in the area as construction and agriculture labor reinforcement, seasonal workers.

In Gaza for example, lived approximately 550 people, fifty percent Jews and the rest mostly Christians. The Jews grew and worked in their flourishing vineyards, olive tree orchards and wheat fields (remember Gush Katif?) and the Christians worked in commerce and transportation of produce and goods. Tiberius and Tzfat were mostly Jewish and except of mentioning fishermen fishing in Lake Kinneret — the Lake of Galilee — a traditional Tiberius occupation, there is no mention of their occupations. A town like Um el-Phahem was a village where ten families, approximately fifty people in total, all Christian, lived and there was also a small Maronite church in the village (The Shehadah family).

3. No Palestinian heritage or Palestinian nation.
Adrian Reland's  book 'Palestina' totally contradicts any post-modern theory claiming a “Palestinian heritage,” or Palestinian nation. The book strengthens the connection, relevance, pertinence, kinship of the Land of Israel to the Jews and the absolute lack of belonging to the Arabs, who robbed the Latin name Palestina and took it as their own.
In Granada, Spain, for example, one can see Arabic heritage and architecture. In large cities such as Granada and the land of Andalucía, mountains and rivers like Guadalajara, one can see genuine Arabic cultural heritage: literature, monumental creations, engineering, medicine, etc. Seven hundred years of Arabic reign left in Spain an Arabic heritage that one cannot ignore, hide or camouflage. But here, in Israel there is nothing like that! Nada, as the Spanish say! No names of towns, no culture, no art, no history, and no evidence of Arabic rule; only huge robbery, pillaging and looting; stealing the Jews’ holiest place, robbing the Jews of their Promised Land. Lately, under the auspices of all kind of post modern Israelis — also hijacking and robbing us of our Jewish history.

PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein said this in 1977:
The Palestinian people does 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, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while 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.

Muslim Terror Has Nothing to do With So-Called "Occupation"

"Jewish Settlerments in 'Westbank' are the reason for Arab aggression"

"Muslims become extremist terrorists because of anguish and hopelessness"

~~ NONSENSE ~~

Arabs Muslims have been killing Jews and Christians since the 7th century A.D. 

Muslims' reasons for this have been:

1) Jews and Christians are not Muslims

2) Jews and Christians build cities which Muslims covet -  Muslims do not build.

3) Jews and Christians have wives that Muslims covet

 That's it. 

With the rise of ISIS and mass migration of Muslims from their failed countries to Europe and America, Westerners are learning first-hand what Christians and Jews in Muslim lands have had to live with -  have had to survive with for the last 1400 years.

Perhaps now Westerners can finally perceive with whom they are forcing Israel to deal with. Perhaps Westerners can now understand that dealing with Muslims can only end up with the suicide of a nation. 

Whose Hebron? Jewish Presence 2373 Years Prior To Muslim Invasion

In a nutshell
Located in the Judean Hills south of Jerusalem, Hebron is the site of the oldest Jewish community in the world. Jews have lived in Hebron since 1735 BCE. Two thousand three hundred and seventy three years later, the Arab Muslims arrived. As usual, the Muslims built their Mosques on Jewish and Christian holy sites. That is the genesis of the present-day conflict over Hebron.

In 1929 Arab hordes attacked the Ancient Jewish community of Hebron, massacring, raping, and pillaging, exactly as IS - ISIS - ISIL is doing today to the Christian communities of Syria and Iraq. No, nothing has changed. Those Jews who were not massacred fled their family homes of millennia. Arabs took over the Jewish properties. All this happened while the British authorities turned a blind eye -  just as the West is doing today while Muslims annihilate Christian communities in N. Africa and the Middle East.  

In 1948 Jordan illegally took over Hebron which was later, in the Six Day War of 1967, retaken by Israel. Today Arabs still occupy most of the Jewish properties. 

Generally, since the '67 war Jews have been trying to re-establish their community in Hebron. Even with original deeds of ownership in hand, their efforts have been curbed, hindered, and bound due to pressures put on the Government of Israel by foreign powers (Eu, USA, U.N., Russia) whose economic and strategic interests are cohesive to the fraudulent Arab narrative.  Nevertheless, a few Jewish properties have been recovered and re-inhabited by Jews.

The Real "Nabka" of 1948

While the fabricated Arab narrative has created an illusion that Jerusalem is a Muslim city
Records from as early as 1844 show that Jerusalem had a clear Jewish majority.

Until the 1850's the entirety of Jerusalem was situated within the walls of the Old City (today part of East Jerusalem). That was Jerusalem as it had been for thousands of years, within the wall, confined to an area of approximately one square mile. Until then the land around Jerusalem was barren.

In 1855 "Sir Moshe Montefiore" purchased land opposite Zion Gate, from "Ahmad Agha Fadhelaldin Agha Al-Asali Duzdar" the 'Ottoman Governor of Jerusalem,' for the purpose of building the first ever residential neighborhood outside of the ancient walls of Jerusalem. By 1860 this first Jewish neighborhood was complete including a windmill for grinding grains. 

Ottoman and British records from as early as the first half of the 19th century, provide unequivocal confirmation that the Jews comprised the majority of Jerusalem's inhabitants, both within and outside the walls, while, in the 1948 War of Independence Jordan ethnically cleansed the Old City by murdering and expelling the majority population - the ancient community of the Jews. This expulsion lasted only 19 years until the 1967 Six Day War when Israel retook the Old City, reuniting it with the rest of Jerusalem.

The country had remained “The Holy Land” in the religious and historic consciousness of mankind, which associated it with the Bible and the history of the Jewish people.

No windows were anywhere to be seen… The plows used were of wood… The yields were very poor… The sanitary conditions in the village [Yabna] were horrible… Schools did not exist… The rate of infant mortality was very high… The western part, toward the sea, was almost a desert… The villages in this area were few and thinly populated. Many ruins of villages were scattered over the area, as owing to the prevalence of malaria, many villages were deserted by their inhabitants”. ~ The report of the British Royal Commission, 1913 ~

19) “Then we entered the hill district, and our path lay through the clattering bed of an ancient stream, whose brawling waters have rolled away into the past, along with the fierce and turbulent race who once inhabited these savage hills. There may have been cultivation here two thousand years ago. The mountains, or huge stony mounds environing this rough path, have level ridges all the way up to their summits; on these parallel ledges there is still some verdure and soil: when water flowed here, and the country was thronged with that extraordinary population, which, according to the Sacred Histories, was crowded into the region, these mountain steps may have been gardens and vineyards, such as we see now thriving along the hills of the Rhine. Now the district is quite deserted, and you ride among what seem to be so many petrified waterfalls. We saw no animals moving among the stony brakes; scarcely even a dozen little birds in the whole course of the ride”. ~William Thackeray in “From Jaffa To Jerusalem”, 1844 ~

Arab Boycott of Palestine 1945

A New York Times article from 1945 reporting the Arab call to boycott Palestine. This is yet another document portraying the Arabs' own reference to the Arabs of Palestine as -  Arabs. This is because they, as well as the rest of the world knew and referred to the Jews as Palestinians - as had been the case since 135 A.D.

Mudar Zahran: We Have a Palestinian State in Jordan

by Ryan Mauro Fri, April 18, 2014,
via @PaulConroy

 Palestinian-Jordanian opposition leader Mudar Zahran spoke to Clarion Project's Ryan Mauro about Palestinian opposition to Hamas.

Mudar Zahran

 Mauro: What’s a more long-term solution to the conflict? An independent Palestinian state? What would Palestinians accept as a solution?
Zahran: This is all a wakeup call that no other solutions exist besides a Jewish Israel and a Palestinian Jordan with the Jordan River in between.

The Jordanian citizenship law states that all non-Jewish Palestinians are natural-born Jordanians, so those Gazans are Jordanians. If the king was willing to let them in, they wouldn’t be under the bombings now.

We need a Palestinian state and we already have one in Jordan. The problem is that King Abdullah refuses to recognize that. I have been warning for years that unless the world tolerates a Palestinian state in Jordan, more trouble was ahead and I believe my words ring true now.

Mudar Zahran is a prominent Palestinian-Jordanian opposition leader that supports secular democracy and peace with Israel. In his new appearance on Hannity, Zahran spoke about Palestinians turning against Hamas (see below).
His parents were born in Jerusalem and moved to Jordan during the Hashemite occupation of the disputed territories west of the Jordan River (commonly referred to as the West Bank by Palestinians and Judea & Samaria by Israelis). His family is one of the most influential within Jordan’s Palestinian majority. 
An entire part of Amman is officially named “Zahran Area” in their honor. Before being forced into exile in the United Kingdom, Zahran was serving as the Economic Specialist and Assistant Policy Coordinator at the U.S. Embassy in Amman. He also served the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. During his work with the U.S. Embassy, Zahran covered sensitive matters regarding Jordan, reporting to two U.S. Ambassadors. His reports were forwarded to the U.S. State Department, CIA, Department of Homeland Security, Treasury Department and, occasionally, to the FBI. He was a civil rights activist in Jordan and stood against the Jordanian government’s discriminatory policies towards Palestinians. He fled Jordan in 2010 and is a regular commentator for Middle Eastern media outlets. Zahran envisions a future Jordan that is an “armless welfare state that secures the rights of Jordanians from all heritages and origins and maintains the peace agreement with Israel.” He has previously written for the Clarion Prject on the Palestinian Authority. The following is Mudar Zahran’s interview with Clarion Project National Security Analyst Ryan Mauro:

U.S. Congressional Record 1922

House Joint Resolution 322

In 1922 England severed 78% of historical Palestine (133 A.D. - 1922) and used it to create an Arab country for the Arab population of Palestine. It was called Trans-Jordan. The remaining 22% was set aside as a country for the Jews (originally the entire area of Palestine was intended for the Jews but politics and alliances during and after WW1 changed the international agenda). The division of Palestine was in the spirit of the division of all the Middle East and North African land mass after WW1, a land mass held which was home to an abundance of peoples: Christians, Jews, Arabs, Muslims and more. Until WW1 there were no Arab countries in existence in this land mass. Borders were drawn and countries were formed.

Below is one of numerous documents which attests to the fact the today's international narrative on the conflict between Israel and the Arabs disregards historical truth. Note the red encircling and yellow emphasis.

Until and during the first half of the 20th century the use of the term "Palestinian" was used in reference to Jews, as had been the case since the year 133 A.D. The Arabs in Palestine, for the most part drifters, were referred to as Arabs. Documentation before and after the year 1900 attests to this fact.

In more recent times, prior to the establishment of the multi-billion dollar Arab propaganda machine in the early 1960's, Arabs in the Jordanian-held Judea and Samaria (misnamed the West Bank) as well as those in the Gaza Strip held by Egypt, were referred to as Arabs. They were referred to as Arabs because that is what they were, and are till this day.

In 1964 Yasser Arafat planted the seeds of the myth of a "Palestinian" nation. A "People" that had existed since time immemorial when if fact they had immigrated from all over the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, mostly after the 1880's when Jews in Palestine began to develop advanced industry and medical facilities which offered high-paying wages and modern healthcare.

Today, by way of a brilliant comprehensive indoctrination system which has infiltrated into Western democratic governments and Western universities, this false Arab narrative has been instilled into the political arena of the world. Today even all logic boundaries have been crossed. There are now no boundaries to the fabrication and fraudulence permeated into world society. History is being re-written. As recently as 2013 PA President Mahmoud Abbas stated that "Jesus was a Palestinian messenger who would become a guiding light for millions."

During a 2012 interview with lecturer Dr. Omar Ja'ara of An-Najah University in Nablus, Moses suddenly become a "Muslim who led the Muslim children of Israel out of Egypt." Please take time to witness in this link how YouTube has become a major tool of Arab fraud profileration which is succeeding to embed rewritten history into the minds of unsuspecting young people today.

Inventing a History for a "Palestinian People" That Never Existed In History

by David Bukay

...rewriting the history of the Land of Israel by erasing Jewish history and replacing  

it with a fabricated Palestinian history is a central goal of the Palestinian Authority...

 The vast literature proving the historic Jewish connection to the Land of Israel has been extensively manipulated and distorted as part of the Palestinian politics of nationalism. Propaganda,

Arab Immigration to Palestine

 

In the late 1800’s and the first half of the 20th century many Arabs were attracted to Palestine due to the prosperity brought about by Jewish development of the land: draining swamps, irrigating wastelands, building industries and towns, farms and cities, medical, and learning facilities, for example: in 1882 forty Jewish families, settled in the scorched sands of what is today known as Rishon LeZion (now a thriving city of over 250,000). By 1889 more than 400 Arab families had settled around these few Jewish families, enjoying full time employment and higher wages (300% higher than any area of the Middle East at the time) and medical facilities never before seen --where once Arab women saw half of their children die before the age of five years, the new Jewish medical facilities offered something they had never known or dreamed of.

This repeated itself in many Jewish areas in Palestine both during the Ottoman rule and the later British mandate. It must be remembered that at that time there existed not one Arab country – there were no borders till after WWI. Droves of Arabs arrived from all over the Middle East, Persian Gulf, and Africa. Muslims of other ethnicities arrived from Africa and even Europe (to become part of the Arab group “described” today as “Palestinians”). 

Of course Arabs also came from eastern Palestine -  what later became Jordan when the British partitioned Palestine in the early 1920’s. They continued to this "in-migration" from eastern Palestine until the '48 war (those that went back to eastern Palestine during the war now refer to themselves as refugees and are so recognized the UN).

Betrayal of the Jews - British Military Forces in Palestine

Prior to WW1 there existed not one Arab country in the Middle East. What existed was a land mass governed mostly by the 400 year old Ottoman Empire. The population comprised a multitude of creeds and ethnicities -- Arabs Muslims, Jews, Christians, Druze, to name but a few. The land was divided by borders and control awarded to the strongest clans, which at that time and place meant to "he with the bloodiest dagger." Over 99% of the land was given to Arabs. The Jews were allotted land that had been known as Palestine for 2000 years, or sometimes referred to as Southern Syria.
 

The Mandate for Palestine given to England by the League of Nations after WW1 for the purpose of temporary guardianship. It required England to hold the land for the development of a Jewish state. In an illegal move based on the economic and strategic aims of England, the English illegally severed 78% of Palestine east of the Jordan River and awarded it to a Bedouin by the name of Abdullah I bin al-Hussein from the Saudi Peninsula, to become an Arab state. The remaining 22% of Palestine west of the Jordan River, including Judea and Samaria (aka West Bank) was to become a Jewish state. That remaining 22% of the land is what the so called Mid East conflict is about. While today's Jordan comprises 88% of Palestine and is still populated by a "Palestinian" majority, Israel is expected to give up much of this tiny sliver of land for the creation of yet another Arab Muslim country.

Jordan is Palestine: Debunking the Palestinian Narrative

The Legal Basis of Israel’s Rights in the Disputed Territories

by Amb. Alan Baker

via Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs

1. Upon Israel’s taking control of the area in 1967, the 1907 Hague Rules on Land Warfare and the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) were not considered applicable to the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) territory, as the Kingdom of Jordan, prior to 1967, was never the prior legal sovereign, and in any event has since renounced any claim to sovereign rights via a vis the territory.

Israel's Trojan Horses

Democracy, in Israel, as far as survival goes, has become at best a ludicrous bad dream, or, worse and most probable-- a nightmare -- a weapon used by Fifth Columnists aimed at destroying Israel as a democratic Jewish country. Israeli politics, like in the rest of the Western world, has become driven by one-sided Political Correctness - as if in an alternate world; a "twilight zone" has taken root in Israel, the USA, and the EU. Yes indeed, we have entered the Era of  #ScienceFictionPolitics.

Israel's biggest threat is not from the might of foreign armies, but rather from an enemy within, an enemy that is using the privileges of democracy to bring about its very demise.

Israel, a country the size of a ranch in the US or Australia, and whose very existence sits on a fence -- a pointy picket fence -- wishes to be a super-power in the Science Fictional World of Political Correctness, so adamantly, that she is willing to risk Her very existence.

So in the spirit of this ever-emerging absurd "Russian Roulette" style of law, a style that takes democracy to its outer limits, Israel welcomes into Her parliament (aka Knesset), those that fight daily to destroy Her. Yes, they are paid Members of Knesset that rake in their annual salaries and benefits, paid by Jewish taxpayers of Israel -- paying for their daily activities aimed at bringing Israel to disaster.

And as weird as it may seem, I may get into trouble for describing the situation as it is -- such is the status of "freedom of speech" these days. Much like in the USA today where one is considered a racist for describing the ongoing atrocities around the globe as "Islamic terror" - even when the terrorists themselves claim it is. The alternative to speaking one's mind about this, is to go silently into the night - so I speak, que sera sera.

 > "...Welcome to the thousands of shahids (martyrs)..."

> "...and blessings to our shahids within the Greenline..."

> "...those that the occupiers call terrorists while we say there is nothing more admirable than those that die for the homeland..."

Is Jordan Palestine? by Daniel Pipes and Adam Garfinkle

 Excerpts 1988 Article, Middle East Forum

. . ."nobody ever considered the two sides of the Jordan River anything but integral parts of a single land called Palestine." Many American supporters of Israel accept the Jordan-is-Palestine argument. Joan Peters premises her study, From Time Immemorial, on this notion. She routinely calls Israel a "corner of Palestine" and "Western Palestine," while "Eastern Palestine" is her term for Jordan. George F. Will states that "Jordan is Palestine-historically, geographically, ethnically."

A substantial body of opinion has developed in Israel and elsewhere which favors the snappy argument that Jordan is Palestine. Although closely associated with Ariel Sharon, the enfant terrible
