“If you want to learn the whole unknown hidden truth of the Arab/Islamic war against Israel, read this book from cover to cover. Robert Spencer’s book teaches you how to answer virtually every propaganda lie about Israel and Arabs one is confronted with by Israel-haters, Jew-haters, and those simply ignorant of the facts. This comprehensive treatise will eliminate the ability of newspapers and TV and radio and social media to convince you of their Mideast distortions and falsehoods. A critically necessary work in this Orwellian era.” — MORTON KLEIN, National President, Zionist Organization of America (ZOA)

Robert Spencer is no doubt the world authority on the topic of jihad.

So true, Mortimer.

The name of Palestine is the name of a psychodrama. Under the Ottoman Empire, Syria was split into two provinces called Eyalets. Each Eyalet was in turn split into Sanjaks. The Eyalet of Damascus included the Sanjaks of Acre, Safad, Nablus, Jerusalem and Gaza. There was no ‘Filistina’ to be seen on any map of the region.
Palestine is what the Crusaders called the region of Israel. The Arabs think of everything between Damascus and Egypt as ‘Syria’. When Britain and France conquered the region, they divided the Holy Land from Syria, something the Arabs didn’t like, because it was not all that holy to them.
It is a real case of trickery for Arabs to call the West Bank ‘Palestine’, when they are not even interested in an independent country called ‘Filistina’ to begin with. They actually want to reunite the spit-off parts of Mandatory Palestine into one country called ‘Jordan’.
The Pally trick is not just a delusion, but a deliberate con job. The people running the scam are not deluded about the fact that it is a scam to get big money out of the Arabs and Europeans that the Pally elites pocket.

I believe it was the Romans who applied the term “Palestine” to the region, after their successful suppression of the Bar Kochba Revolt in 136 A.D. Historians tell us that the term “Filistina” (there is no “p” in Arabic) was in use among the Arabs of the region during the Ottoman period, but that they used it only as a territorial designation, not as an indicator of national identity. And the Turks don’t seem to have used the term at all.
And while it may have been King Hussein’s opinion that “what you call Palestine is really Jordan”, that doesn’t seem to be what those calling themselves Palestinians today think. What they want is to somehow, anyhow, eradicate the Jewish state and create a Palestinian one on the entire region “from the river to the sea” (i.e. from the border of Jordan to the Mediterranean). That’s why they keep turning down two-state solution proposals. They have soaked their heads in the conviction that justice will never have been done until the whole of the region is theirs. And their leaders are willing to do their own people out of statehood until they get exactly what they want.
In the meantime the “it-will-do-for-now” policy of “victory for us to see you suffer” will have to do, as they see it, apparently.

What more could he say
Magatism says
The fact remains that Christians created modern day Israel. The prime directive is to protect our Holy places. A buffer between Muslims and eternal Crusades.
They won’t reform and give up their claim over their fantastic Qibla. And as such no apostates can exist there. This gives rise to Crusades.
So next time you refer to Israel, you know what to think .
