More grandiose lies are being told Palestinians by their leadership, in order to try to fool their people and the world into believing that they are an ancient people, with more rights to the Jewish homeland than Jews themselves. Palestinian lies are routinely lapped up by antisemitic globalists, who of course are ignorant of the truth that the Palestinians are really Ottoman South Syrians. This new tall tale however, may have gone too far, even by the standards of antisemites — not that they care about facts anyway.
“Miraculous Palestinian history: “’We [Palestinians] defeated the Hyksos, the Romans, the Greeks, the Persians, the Tatars, and the Pharaohs,’ and will defeat Israel as well,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, January 30, 2022:
The Palestinian Authority has written a fictitious history for itself that is both comical and dangerous. The PA claims Palestinians to be distinct in the annals of history, being the only people to have defeated many of the greatest empires. Incredibly, the Romans, Greeks, Persians, Pharaohs, Hyksos and Tatars, all were defeated by the Palestinians, according to Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh speaking in the name of Mahmoud Abbas, at the Palestinian Martyrs’ Day ceremony in Ramallah.
Given that only last century after the creation of the State of Israel did some Arabs of the land of Israel adopt a Palestinian identity, the PA’s Prime Minister’s fantasy could be dismissed as laughable and irrelevant. However, the continuation of the PM’s words, using this fantasy history to justify his call to fight to destroy Israel, shows how dangerous even a lie can be:
“We have defeated all the invaders who passed through the land of Palestine. On behalf of the Martyrs we will defeat this hated occupation [Israel] that will leave our land.”
[Official PA TV Live, Jan. 9, 2022]
Tragically, this fictitious history and its terror demands are being passed on to Palestinian youth. As Palestinian Media Watch recently exposed in its report on Fatah’s Waed children’s educational magazine for ages 6-15, the identical messages are taught although the empires that the Palestinians are said to have defeated change. Palestinian children are taught that they defeated the “Babylonians, the Persians, the Samaritans, the Assyrians, the Hyksos, the Hittites, the Pharaohs, and the Hebrews,” and this proves they will likewise defeat and destroy Israel:
“The occupation [Israel] will cease to exist just as what was before it ceased to exist….

Amnesty is a mouthpiece for Hamas. Our local group put on a Zoom session last year, I was kicked off after asking these questions:
Palestine was only ever a region never a country, if you say it is then tell us:
1. When was the country formed, by whom?
2. What manner of government runs/ has ran the country since inception?
3. Who have been all the leaders/rulers over the centuries? Before Arafat by the way.
4. Where are the historic coins? What is the currency?
5. What was the early flags? Show us.
6. What runs the economy (not counting current day terrorism funded by fools in the West and the pay-for-slay which provides many with a good income… but I digress)
7. What was the historical religion?
8. Where are all the maps showing, not only the existence of the country, but the borders over the centuries?
9. Where is all the contemporary writings from over the centuries mentioning this ‘country’?
10. What was the language? Capital city?
11. Which peoples made up the population, where did they originate from, when did they originally settle in ‘Palestine’?
12. Where are all the archaeological digs showing the rulers residences etc over the centuries?
13. Where are all the books, writings of the peoples of Palestine over the centuries?
Needles to say I wasn’t popular and received a disgusting email from them afterwards calling me all sorts of ad hominems, I ought to have posted that on social media but was so shocked by the vitriol that I deleted it.

That’s as funny as f#*k, You go girl!
This sounds like the title of the Al Gore doco, “an inconvenient truth”.
Well done.

Karen,
For a clear thinking person, those would be legitimate questions worthy of discussion.

Big mouth, bragging about something that can be disproven easily. But, that’s a lying mozlum…like the “father of the lie,” there is no truth in these ones who willingly follow satan’s desires.
When they aren’t bragging, they are whining about being victimized.

Someone I met from Iran once told me the Palestinians were descended from the Philistines. But we know that is not true. Actually they came from all over the Near East and North Africa, and are not a cohesive ethnic group. And many never lived in Israel or Palestine before the Jews began building a country there and provided jobs for them. Others came even later and have more in common with the Muslim countries they came from than with the other Palestinians.

Unscientifically I would add my thoughts. They are Caucasian. There are some with Arab roots, some descendants of Crusader and Muslim rape of locals (Jewish women primarily). They have no ownership or title to the Middle East except by conquest. They were never part of the Ottoman Empire. They are interlopers, settlers, and thieves.
Keith O says
SOOO, the Palestinians defeated the greatest military throughout history?
Then, who was it that kicked them back into the stone age? Other than Islam of course?

Arabian Hitler’s.. Sieg Allah! Sieg Allah!
They’re going unchallenged globally with fake Palestinian history. Just reverse this pseudo history to let’s say, France Italy Poland Germany Japan Conquering all empires.. you pick the country.. you think it wouldn’t be picked up in a hot New York second by Marxist media outlets big tech leftist history professors? We all know the answer to that.. Bad things happen when good men stand around and do nothing when a serious injustice has occurred. Simply disgraceful. Haven’t we had just about enough of this garbage. Gotta arm yourself with knowledge and history to deny these evil men any credibility. God speed to life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The Mohammadan genocidal agenda against the Jews preceeds the invention of ” Palestine” and “Palestinians” by close to fourteen hundred years.
The so called “Palestinians” are not at all descended from, nor racially or ethnically related to and do not share culture, language or religion with the “Philistines” of old mentioned in the Old Testament.
Ironicallly the original Hebrew name for the Philistines was “Plishtim” (פלישתים) derived from the root word Palosh (פלש) meaning the invaders, usurperers, illegal occupiers.
The first Biblical reference to “Palestina” or “Palestine” is in the Roman Latin Translation. The original Hebrew reference in Genesis is to “Eretz Pleshet” (ארץ פלשת) meaning the land of the invaders, usurperer, illegal occupier.
How appropriate for the nowadays to make a bogus claim of being the heirs, or successor in title to the “original invaders,” illegal occupiers and squatters.
The name Palestine was politically imposed by the Roman Invaders on the Land of Judea and Israel in order to delegitimize the Jewish Claims for the Jewish Ancestral Land, the Land of the Jews, “Eretz Israel”.
The Romans didn’t do a good job of the delegitimizatiin attempt.
The erected in Rome a Triumphal Arch, depicting Roman Soldeirs carrying the Candelabra stolen by them and plundered from the Jewish Temple they have destroyed, except that they proclaimed their victory in the words JUDEA CAPTA -not PALESTINA CAPTA, meaning Judea, the Land of the Jews was conquered, not the Land of the Philistines or “Palestinians” was conquered.
There were simply no Philistines or “Palestinians” there.
Even the self appointed and proclaimed (fake) Prophet and inventor if Islam never mentioned Palestine and Palestinians and always refered to Israel as the Land of the Jews, eternally promised to the Jews and given ti them by God..
Most so called Palestinians were imported and settled in the Land of Israel by successive Islamic invaders.

Define “We”!
If it was the Arabs, they did not defeat the Romans or Greeks: the Byzantines were neither. Nor did they defeat the Pharoahs: the Pharoahs were defeated and conquered by the Greeks, who created a new Greek dynasty in Egypt that included Cleopatra. That province was later conquered by Augustus Caesar. Same w/ the Hyksos – they were displaced from Egypt by internal civil war: the Arabs had nothing to do w/ their control anywhere
Persians – if the Palis concede that they were Arabs, I’ll grant it to them, even though the Arabs who overran the Sassanid empire were different from the ones who overran Syria, of which Palestine was a part
Finally, the Tatars – those were the Turkic derivatives of the Golden Horde that established enclaves in what’s today Russia’s Tatarstan and Crimea. Their kingdoms were nowhere near Palestine. If they’re referring to the Mongols post Hulegu Khan, then it was the sultan of Egypt that defeated them near Damascus: the Pali claims are only valid if they consider themselves a part of the sultanate of Egypt, rather than an independent entity
