If you are ever tempted to believe a Palestinian propagandist, check those two pictures.

(Obviously the “Palestinian” propaganda is on the left, and the truth on the right.)
“War is deceit,” said Muhammad. This is just one small example of the deception that is perpetrated on an industrial scale by “Palestinian” propagandists in order to make Israel to be an oppressive occupying power. Discover the breadth and sophistication of this deception, and its deleterious international effects, in The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process.

The Ottoman Empire didn’t have a region or province called ‘Palestine’ and Arabs in the region didn’t refer to themselves by that term either. A single Arabic quote from 1898 uses the word ‘Palestinian’ to refer to the ‘peasants’ of the region. This quote doesn’t establish that they were considered a separate ethnicity from ‘Syrians’ or ‘Egyptians’.
The truth of the matter is that Jews readily adopted the European term ‘Palestinian’ and Arabs in the region were less than thrilled with the European term. By 1929, when this photo is supposedly dated, Mandatory Palestine had been partitioned into an Arab-only zone of Trans-Jordan and the mixed Western Palestine.
The family names of modern Pallies refer to their origins in a dozen various Muslim countries and a dozen tribes in those Muslim countries.
Much of the Pally population was imported after Jewish settlers created factories and businesses that employed many jobless Arab immigrants. To Ottoman Lower Syria and to British Mandatory Palestine.
Apparently, British border agents were not very vigilant and many migrants came in surreptitiously and unrecorded by the British authorities. The migrants instantly and magically turned into ‘Palestinians’ no matter where they came from.
It is clearly a fraudulently-invented ethnicity. Very sad.

Good post, Mortimer.
Just one thing–I believe this photo actually dates from before 1929. That’s just the date the lying Rami Farook is giving it.
mortimer says
Agree. For this to be authentic, the photo’s real date would have to be roughly between 1890 and 1924, if they are truly wearing their native dress. After the First World War, many of the Christian women of the Orient abandoned their national costume in favor of Western attire. The war unsettled the centuries-old cultures of a number of empires.
Of course Armenians did not wear Arab costumes. They had their own Armenian national costumes. The girl in front has a cross prominently embroidered on her blouse.
This family appears to have dressed up for their portrait in front of the photographer’s painted backdrop. I question whether the family even wore such apparel from day to day.
gravenimage says
True, Mortimer. Also, the Ottoman Empire ended in 1922.

Tht group could probably be any Middle Eastern Christian family (cross on girl’s blouse) in the years before WWI.
mortimer says
Further to GI’s reference to 1922:
During the 1920 Turkish–Armenian War: 60,000 to 98,000 Armenian civilians were estimated to have been killed by the Turkish army. Some estimates put the total number of Armenians massacred in the hundreds of thousands. Dadrian characterized the massacres in the Caucasus as a “miniature genocide”.
The Turkish atrocities against the Armenians began in earnest in the ‘Hamidian Massacres’ 1894–1896, and they continued until about 1923 – 4.
Kemal Ataturk who was responsible for the massacres after 1920 was never tried for his crimes.
gravenimage says
Right, Mortimer. In fact, the Armenian Genocide continued under the Ottoman Empire, the government of the Young Turks, *and* under Ataturk. Even a lot of Anti-Jihadists are not familiar with the latter.
As different as these regimes were in many ways, they all hated and murdered Infidels.

Read a history book, the Greeks tried to destroy Israel, the Romans tried to destroy Israel. Indisputable proof that there existed an Israeli state long before the Muslims were even thought of.

Yes, WC, there is archeological evidence of the kingdoms of Israel and Judea. The first and second Temples in Jerusalem and the citadels of the kings have left considerable archeological remains. The second Temple was at its time the largest man-made structure on earth.
In contrast, Saudi archeologists have admitted that there are no archeological remains in the undercroft of Mecca before the 9th century, thus proving that Mecca in Saudi Arabia is a concocted holy site and that it was never the fabled holy city of Mohammed.

“Palestinian” propagandist claims photo of Armenian family shows “Palestinians” before founding of Israel
……………..
More “Pallywood”.
Moreover, using this photograph is particularly stupid, given that it is a fairly well-known one as these things go. I would have spotted it as a fraud.
mortimer says
According to Prof. Harry G. Frankfurt, bullshit is a problem focussed on intentions. Bullshitting, as he notes, is not exactly lying, and bullshit remains bullshit whether it’s true or false. The difference lies in the bullshitter’s complete disregard for whether what he’s saying corresponds to facts in the physical world: he “does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. He pays no attention to it at all. By virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.”
The concocted ‘Palestinian’ ethnicity is a perfect example of what Prof. Frankfurt called ‘bull****’.

Probably quite a bit of the Pali misinformation game is for internal Pali consumption.
They tell these fools that we are burning mosque daily in the USA, and the fools suck it right up. The Pali’s have lived so misinformed for so many generations they are hopeless.
islam is brain damage.
WPM says
Islam has a long history of claiming victimhood on the backs of people ethic cleanse wipe out from their home countries by Moslems (Armenians in Turkey for example) .The Islamic mind set has no self reflection on any wrong done to any people not Moslem or not from their Moslem tribe ,if it enriches ,or gives its Moslem tribe more power. All people outside of its tribe are not really people who deserve respect or even recognition for their suffering ,it is nothing to appropriate their victimhood (Armenians) for Moslems of the tribe to use to further their conquest of the land they ethic cleansed (of those Armenians ,or Jews ,or Christians ,or members of other Moslem tribes).It is like a Nazi mind set, when Germany invade Poland they claimed Poland was the aggressor that German had to defend itself. The useful idiots in the west keep buying into this Moslem victimhood while the Moslems are the aggressors in most cases never get called on their horsesh*t ..

Spot on, WPM.

I second the “Spot on.”
Hindu American says
The terms “Palestine” originates from an ancient term called “Philistine”. If one Googles “Philistine” the dictionary definition is of “a person who is hostile or indifferent to culture and the arts, or who has no understanding of them”. I suppose this definition has been corroborated based on recent history.
However, there is a theory out there that “Philistines were an ancient people who lived on the south coast of Canaan between the 12th century BC and 604 BC when they were exiled to Mesopotamia by King Nebuchadnezzar II. They are known for their biblical conflict with the Israelites”. Another theory, based on early DNA testing, claims that the Philistines originated from Caphtor or Crete after ravaging Anatolia, Cyprus, and Syria. They came during a time when cities and civilizations in Greece were collapsing. According to Jewish Virtual Library, the first appearance of the term “Palestine” was in 5th century BC Ancient Greece when Herodotus wrote of a “district of Syria, called Palaistinê” between Phoenicia and Egypt.
So, enough of these liberal beliefs that the Palestinians were the original inhabitants of the land of Israel.

The question remains: Why would the compilers of a book on Armenian history use the photo of a nice, happy Palestinian family for the book’s cover? Very weird.

Feel free to pass this around.
Alan Dershowitz said that if you want to find the truth all you have to do is look for it. I looked for and found that “Palestinians” raise their children from birth to hate and murder Jews and their “culture” is nothing but an Islamic death cult.
