THE TRUTH: The term "Palestine" came from the name that the conquering Roman Empire gave the ancient Land of Israel in an attempt to obliterate and de-legitimize the Jewish presence in the Holy Land. The name "Palestine" was invented in the year 135 C.E. Before it was known as Judah, which was the southern kingdom of ancient Israel. The Roman Procurator in charge of the Judean-Israel territories was so angry at the Jews for revolting that he called for his historians and asked them who were the worst enemies of the Jews in their past history. The scribes said, "the Philistines." Thus, the Procurator declared that Land of Israel would from then forward be called "Philistia" [further bastardized into "Palaistina"] to dishonor the Jews and obliterate their history. Hence the name "Palestine." Very often one hears the revisionists and propagandists finding ancient historical links between the "Philistines" ("Invaders" in Hebrew) and the Arab "Palestinians." There is no truth to this claim! The Philistines were one of a number of Sea Peoples who reached the eastern Mediterranean region approximately 1250-1100 B.C.E. They were actually an amalgamation of various ethnic groups, primarily of Aegean and south-east European origin [Greece, Crete and Western Turkey] and they died out over 2500 years ago! Those Philistines were not Arab... and neither was Goliath! The Arabs of "Palestine" are just that... Arabs! And these Arabs of "Palestine" have about as much historical roots to the ancient Philistines as Yasser Arafat has to the Eskimos! The ancient, indigenous inhabitants of Palestine are long perished from the earth. Canaanites, Phoencians, and then Philistines, all were dominated by the Israelites before 1060 B.C.E. Most of these cultural identities dissolved completely by the neo-Babylonian age, or, the 6th century B.C.E. Arabs weren’t even in Palestine until the mid-7th century C.E., over a thousand years later, after Palestine’s 1,300-year Jewish history. Arabs later living in Palestine never developed themselves or the land, but remained nomadic and primitive. In short, the so-called Arab "Palestinians" are a manufactured people... a people with no history and no authenticity... whose sole purpose for existence is to destroy the Jewish State!

Additionally, the result of the British Mandate was to create 'Palestine' i Trans Jordan which is called Jordan.

**UNRWA's message to the Palestinians? You can choose war over peace and still expect to get everything you want.** Some humanitarian groups seem to be backing global terrorism because they're too keen on showing the world how tolerant they are. They've got this long list of people to blame, all because they want to look good. This leads them to value the wrong things, like how much aid they can give out, instead of aiming for true fairness and helping people become self-sufficient They should be all about fairness and neutrality, helping people to a point where they can stand on their own, and then moving on to help others in need elsewhere. **Take the situation with the Palestinians and UNRWA after the 1948 War of Independence. ** The real issue started when the choice was made to go to war instead of living in peace with Israel. That war led to Palestinian defeat and the creation of UNRWA to help the resulting 750,000 refugees. Fast forward to today, three generations later, and UNRWA says there are 5.9 million Palestinian refugees eligible for their services. (Remember that these humanitarian groups measure themselves by the size of aid provided.) UNRWA has a unique definition for Palestinian refugees that includes not only the original refugees from the 1948 and 1967 conflicts but also their descendants. This definition is broader than the one that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) typically uses, which does not include descendants in refugee status. Effectively, the agency increased its responsibilities by a factor of 8 with its new definition. The fact that Palestinians are still considered refugees is due to their bad reputation. Everyone in the Middle East knows how they have earned this reputation by starting conflict in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Kuwait and Tunisia. Many of these countries still have not recovered. No one wants Palestinians to integrate into their societies. But this also reflects a failure by UNRWA to get the people self-sufficient and prioritize civic responsibilities over the priority of martyrdom and the destruction of Israel. UNWRA is responsible for education 80% of the Gazan population. The organization core mission, its mandate, has been to indoctrinate generation after generation to hate Jews, to destroy Israel, to be ready to manifest themselves as those who that come to wipe the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea. How can this type of education produce anything but conflict and destruction? They teach death, instead of life. **Over 74 years, UNRWA's become huge, with 13,000 people working there, still handling all basic services for Palestinians. ** UNRWA keeps focusing on Palestinian victimhood and doing jobs that a government should be doing. This overlooks the big picture: the refusal to accept Israel and the decision to wage war. Choices were made and priorities were set-not to work towards coexistence or economic partnership but to risk everything for war. Decisions have consequences. But if you ask UNRWA, there shouldn't be a fallout from these decisions. Seventy-five years on, and we still have Palestinians in camps, hoping to reverse their defeat. UNRWA's stance that Palestinians are merely victims without pushing for real societal and behavioral change has led to a cycle of dependency. They turn a blind eye to military efforts and validate historical grievances, ignoring the lack of accountability. While Hamas builds tunnels and missiles and the PA rewards violence, UNRWA remains silent. UNRWA's message to the Palestinians? You can choose war over peace and still expect to get everything you want. That's a dangerous mindset.

[@larisalobovsky7072]

Hopefully, after these eye-opening speeches the UN, not just UNRWA, will be gone forever.

[@Michaeltoddzz]

Excellent! Defend Israel Dismantle United Nations! Stop antisemitism!! Great job, Chris Smith!

[@thierrysubsea6648]

If HAMAS is a terrorist group and must be stopped it also true that Michael TODD does not know that Netanyahu and the orthodox Jews in Israel do not recognise JESUS CHRIST (our LORD) as the son of GOD and even less as Holy.

[@Michaeltoddzz]

The United Nations turned a deliberate “blind eye” to Rwanda genocide, withdrawing forces when war was inevitable 800,000 Tutsis slaughtered.

[@MarioSong-q2k]

It is understood why UN did not condermn the Oct 7 attack

I hope those who are crying for the "innocent" Palestinians listen to these speeches.

Suicide vs genocide: Rest in PEACE, Aaron Bushnell Bushnell’s extreme act of protest has put Western corporate media to shame. On February 25, 2024, United Staes Air Force airman Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire outside the Embassy of Israel Washington .D C During the incident, Bushnell declared that "I will no longer be complicit in genocide" and proceeded to repeatedly shout "Free Palestine"! as he burned. In December, a protesters self-immolated in front of the Israeli consulate in the US state of Georgia. I've no doubt that a great deal of effort is under way to discredit Aaron Bushnell and explain away his concern about GENOCIDE and the MSM press like the BBC will play their part but this very organised "Twitter" entry by Mr Bushnell seems quite rational in the circumstances. "“Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ Yes many of us .This young man is not alone and was in deep distress and Aaron could no longer stomach being a part of a "GENOCIDAL MACINE" I pray to God that this will not happen again but seeing the reaction so far from the "Powers That Be" already my fear that it will be dismissed as all the claims of GENOCIDE have been to date . This ATTEMPTED GENOCIDE IN GAZA WILL FAIL . Israel is losing this conflict on the ground and in world opinion. Since October 7th, and tragically not before, the silent majority in the world has come to realise what a MONSTER was created in Palestine in 1948. This racist ,apartheid GENOCIDAL Zionist doctrine that has brutalised Palestine for 75 years is on its last legs

[@Richard-x3h]

can u explain the ratio of 1 US soldier with obvious mental health conditions as opposed to the thousands of mental health conditions in Gaza ? UNRWA is the explanation

[@grahamebell4593]

What a stupid comment . More bombs have been dropped on Gaza with twice the explosive capacity of the two Atomic bombs dropped on Japan . I'm sure that you would have a few problems if you lived under such a bombardment . @@Richard-x3h
