Yet again being easy indoctrinated and not looking at both sides of the coin. It's the shities vs sunnis. End of. UK never created Israel, if UK created Israel then who's the brother of ishmeal? Islam is a mere 1500y old period. Pagan Rome created Islam and Palestine. Dr Alberto Riviera exposed this after cardinal Brea showed him the manuscript to the Quran.

[@chrisfakarii4366]

Not amazing at all. Full of lies and propaganda.

[@ayoak4474]

Horrors are the ends of all evil doers. The souls of the innocents cries out for justice to the Creator. Whether we like it or not, justice will be served one of these days in the most unexpected way. God help us all.

There's no such thing as real justice in this world or even after death. Religion only exists because people need to find answers to death, that they create an afterlife to guarantee justice and to make sure there is a place where the mysterious of life are solved. In troday's modern age, you should have moved on from superstitious thinking, primitive reliance on metaphors, such as heaven and hell, the final judgment, and into the mature realization that the five senses give you is the only reality.

Watching this in 2024, just got his book. My heart breaks as to where the powers of the world stands on Palestine, against Palestine, not helping the Palestinian people, and now with their massacre by Israel, leaves me feeling more than disappointed about America, Israel, and mankind, over and over again the injustices, wars, and bloodshed continually happening seems so hopeless. So sorry, Palestine, I am so sorry. But I will always stand with Palestine and never forsake their cause.

[@sajoikic5293]

It is not humanity that spreads evil in the world....every crime has the signature of the person who committed it....The whole world knows which corporations, governments and individual politicians and individuals these are....so don't attribute the sins of these criminals to me . They appropriated all the wealth of the world for themselves, but they put the responsibility for their evil on imaginary humanity. Otherwise, I understood your message.

Why do you have to be sorry? Is that not what the Palestinian people want? There's a Palestinian mother who said this: "We give birth to so many children so that we can push them to die to martyrdom." Umm Nidal, a Palestinian woman who once sent her six sons on a suicide mission against Jewish civilians in Israel says: "I am proud and honored to be a terrorist for the sake of Allah... This is Islamic religious law. I don't invent anything . I follow Islamic religious law in this." After all, the conflict between Israel and Palestinians is not actually caused by land disputes but by the religious obligations of Muslims. "We are in need of strong and powerful heroes in order to implement the words of Allah: [The companions] 'are tough against the infidels and merciful among themselves.' We ... motivate the students, to wage jihad, for the sake of Allah, and we instill love for Allah and His Prophet in the souls of our sons." - This is from Hamas spokesperson at a 'summer camp' for children in Gaza. The Quran verse referred to is (48:29). Now, read the audio statement that has just been released by the Islamic State (ISIS) in this year 2024: "The battle with the Jews is a religious one and not a national or populist one! It is not a battle for land, soil, or borders! In fact, it is a war that is legitimized by the Koran and the Sunnah... A Muslim fights the Jews because they have commited kufr [disbelief] against Allah Almighty, they have fought His prophets, and have held animosity toward Muslims."

"Our conflict is not an Israeli-Arab conflict. Our struggle is not for a Palestinian state. We are seeking the world. We are seeking the whole world. We are seeking a confrontation against all Crusaders, against all Christians, against all infidels until they adopt the Islamic religion, until they follow the Sharia of Allah. We are not interested in Palestine. We are not interested in Tel Aviv or in Ashkelon. What is important for us is to see Islam ruling the world. This is the religion of God and we are fighting to see Islam rule the world." “As Muslims, we don’t believe in states, borders, and embassies, and most certainly not in Israel’s right to exist. We have to focus on imposing the rule of Islam wherever we are, to signal to the infidels that their support of the enemy is useless." - - This is from Abu al-Ayna al-Ansari, a leader of a Salafi group in the Gaza Strip that is allied with Islamic State ideology (ISIS).

[@SteveG-l7d]

Very well said. I'm a proud Aussie and I wouldn't want any of us judged by the actions of our inept and corrupted politicians. Our politicians haven't represented the Australian citizens for years. I believe the same should apply to Palestinians and Jews. Palestinians shouldn't be judged by the actions of hamas and Israelis shouldn't be judged by the actions of Benjie yahoo either. The governments start wars, but rarely suffer the consequences. It's usually the innocent civilians on both sides that pay the highest price. Unfortunately too many people believe what social media says, without doing some research themselves. Ukraine is no different. If all the governments involved spent as much time on peace negotiations as they have on supplying weapons on money, the war would've been over rather than escalating. Boris Johnson scuttled one peace deal and Biden the other. Maybe the terms weren't acceptable, but at least continue the peace talks and negotiate a compromise. Just another war that drags on and makes the military industrial complex rich!

I've come to think the main problem is we don't share an accurate history. He was entirely right about it being generational at 60 years old mine was raised to think of ourselves as protectors of innocent Jews, they are all good, and especially after 9/11 Arabs Muslims are all Islamists. I struggled to understand young American Jews supporting the Palestinians until really opening myself up to a much larger narrative. My friends and family don't really have that desire, they're busy people, these are deeply held beliefs we learned in childhood that have largely gone unquestioned and been reinforced: Jews good intolerant murderous Arabs want us dead. It may require these senior leaders to die off because they refuse to hand over the reigns, and they're living longer. Biden, Netanyahu, Pelosi, Trump, Feinstein, ......

This is the Ottoman census of 1878 indicated the following demographics for the Jerusalem, Nablus, and Acre districts. Muslim - 403,795 or 85.5% Christian - 43,659 or 9.2 % Jewish - 15,001 or 3.2% Jewish (Foreign-born) - Est. 10,000 or 2.1% As you can see, most of the 3.2% Jews were new immigrants themselves.

Don't be intimidated by the use of declaring a person anti Semitic if s/he doesn't support Zionist apartheid and oppression of Palestinians. Palestinians are Semitic too. Israel doesn't have the moral high ground. If we lose friends because we are standing for right, what have we really lost? Nothing. We need to assess who we are allowing in our inner circle.

What happened to the Palestinian Yishuv Jewish communities who have been living side by side w/ the Christians and Muslims? 1. How about the waves of Jews in 1880s expelled and persecuted from Morocco, Yemen, Algiers, Saudi where some settled in Southern Levant [that became Palestine]? Eastern Jews are traders and merchants. Acres and acres of lands are purchased from absentee landlords, that angered the peasants of the region. They are forced to evacuate the land fr the new owners [Jews]. 2. The wailing Wall Riots in 1929, never mentioned why? Hundreds of Jews died. 3. The presence of British meant jobs which attracted thousands of laborers especially fr Egypt to Palestine.

Evil and Genocide triumph bcos good men are passive. They sit idly while the Palestinian holocaust occured. One of the reasons why United Nations was formed after WWII was to ensure effective intervention can occur in the future b4 another potential Jewish Holocast can recur. Apparently it failed miserably based on ethnic hatred. UN does not serve and protect human rights when powerful nations are the perpetrators. The Palestinian Holocaust still can occur.

What happened to the Jews living in East of the Jordan River became the Emirate of Transjordan, to be ruled by Faysal’s brother ‘Abdullah? The Jews living there disappeared. Not a single soul remained. And that remains the west of the Jordan River became the Palestine Mandate. So u are going to expel the existing Palestinian Yishuv Jewish communities living there? How about 1880s mass immigration during the Ottoman Empire bet 1881 and 1903? That is only the 1st Aliyah of Jews. This only highlights Dr. Khalid's narrative of his biases against the Jews.

[@TheBubblydimple]

How about after the Balfour Declaration 1917, what happened in 1929 that made the Jews to stand up for themselves? He only discusses the 5th aliyah of Jews WWII that came to settle there. So what happened to those 2nd, 3rd, 4th aliyah of Jews that settled there? They just disappeared.

[@TheBubblydimple]

As promised the British delivered its promised to the Hashemite Kingdom [Muslim Arabs] a self-determination land. In 1921, the British divided this region in two: 1. East of the Jordan River became the Emirate of Transjordan, to be ruled by Faysal’s brother ‘Abdullah. So what happened to the Jews living there? They all disappeared. Not a single soul remained. 2.

[@accrillia]

From 1917 However, his ignore this little piece of history. How willfully ignorant you are. Pre-Roman Period Ancient Civilizations (Before 1000 BCE): The region was inhabited by various ancient peoples, including the Canaanites. It's mentioned in Egyptian and Mesopotamian texts. Israelite Kingdoms (c. 1000 - 586 BCE): Biblical accounts describe the formation of the Kingdom of Israel and the subsequent Kingdom of Judah. This period saw the rise of Hebrew culture and religion. Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Rule (8th - 4th Century BCE): The Assyrian Empire conquered the northern kingdom (Israel) in 722 BCE. The Babylonians conquered the southern kingdom (Judah) in 586 BCE, leading to the Babylonian Exile. Persian rule began in 539 BCE, allowing Jews to return and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. Roman Period Roman Conquest (63 BCE): The Romans conquered the region, which became part of the Roman Empire. Jewish-Roman Wars (66 - 135 CE): A series of revolts against Roman rule, including the Great Revolt (66-73 CE) and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135 CE). These revolts were brutally suppressed, leading to significant Jewish casualties and diaspora. Byzantine Period (4th - 7th Century CE): Christianity became the dominant religion under Byzantine rule. The region experienced relative stability and prosperity. Islamic and Crusader Periods Early Islamic Period (7th - 11th Century): Arab Muslim armies conquered the region in the 7th century. The Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates ruled, with Jerusalem becoming a significant Islamic center. Crusader Kingdoms (1099 - 1291 CE): European Crusaders established several states, including the Kingdom of Jerusalem. This period was marked by conflict between the Crusaders and Muslim powers. Mamluk Rule (1291 - 1517): The Mamluks, based in Egypt, defeated the Crusaders and took control. They maintained Islamic dominance and stabilized the region. Ottoman Period Ottoman Rule (1517 - 1917): The Ottoman Empire conquered the region. It was administered as part of the Damascus Eyalet and later the Jerusalem Sanjak. Relative autonomy for local communities under the millet system. British Mandate and the Creation of Israel British Mandate (1917 - 1948): Post-World War I, the League of Nations granted Britain the mandate over Palestine. The Balfour Declaration (1917) supported a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. Tensions rose between Jewish and Arab communities. United Nations Partition Plan (1947): Proposed a partition of the land into Jewish and Arab states. Accepted by Jewish leaders but rejected by Arab leaders. Establishment of Israel and Arab-Israeli Conflict (1948): Israel declared independence in 1948. This led to the first Arab-Israeli war. Significant Palestinian displacement (Nakba).

I want to bring to your attention my issue with the historical data provided. Specifically, I have a problem with Khalidi's book. He seemed to be biased in his approach as he selectively presented historical facts to support his narrative. In contrast, I have presented factual information. It is unfortunate that some individuals make baseless and childish comments instead of relying on facts. However, their behaviour only serves to prove my point. I do not expect such individuals to realise this fact.@@walter1932

BS that is what it was. Pre-Roman Period Ancient Civilizations (Before 1000 BCE): The region was inhabited by various ancient peoples, including the Canaanites. It's mentioned in Egyptian and Mesopotamian texts. Israelite Kingdoms (c. 1000 - 586 BCE): Biblical accounts describe the formation of the Kingdom of Israel and the subsequent Kingdom of Judah. This period saw the rise of Hebrew culture and religion. Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Rule (8th - 4th Century BCE): The Assyrian Empire conquered the northern kingdom (Israel) in 722 BCE. The Babylonians conquered the southern kingdom (Judah) in 586 BCE, leading to the Babylonian Exile. Persian rule began in 539 BCE, allowing Jews to return and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. Roman Period Roman Conquest (63 BCE): The Romans conquered the region, which became part of the Roman Empire. Jewish-Roman Wars (66 - 135 CE): A series of revolts against Roman rule, including the Great Revolt (66-73 CE) and the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135 CE). These revolts were brutally suppressed, leading to significant Jewish casualties and diaspora. Byzantine Period (4th - 7th Century CE): Christianity became the dominant religion under Byzantine rule. The region experienced relative stability and prosperity. Islamic and Crusader Periods Early Islamic Period (7th - 11th Century): Arab Muslim armies conquered the region in the 7th century. The Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates ruled, with Jerusalem becoming a significant Islamic center. Crusader Kingdoms (1099 - 1291 CE): European Crusaders established several states, including the Kingdom of Jerusalem. This period was marked by conflict between the Crusaders and Muslim powers. Mamluk Rule (1291 - 1517): The Mamluks, based in Egypt, defeated the Crusaders and took control. They maintained Islamic dominance and stabilized the region. Ottoman Period Ottoman Rule (1517 - 1917): The Ottoman Empire conquered the region. It was administered as part of the Damascus Eyalet and later the Jerusalem Sanjak. Relative autonomy for local communities under the millet system. British Mandate and the Creation of Israel British Mandate (1917 - 1948): Post-World War I, the League of Nations granted Britain the mandate over Palestine. The Balfour Declaration (1917) supported a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. Tensions rose between Jewish and Arab communities. United Nations Partition Plan (1947): Proposed a partition of the land into Jewish and Arab states. Accepted by Jewish leaders but rejected by Arab leaders. Establishment of Israel and Arab-Israeli Conflict (1948): Israel declared independence in 1948. This led to the first Arab-Israeli war. Significant Palestinian displacement (Nakba). Post-1948 Developments Further Conflicts: Numerous conflicts, including the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Peace Efforts and Ongoing Conflict: Attempts at peace, including the Oslo Accords (1990s), have seen limited success.

A total population of 757,182 individuals was found, of whom 590,890 were Muslims, 83,794 were Jews, and 73,024 were Christians. Palestine should have been a Muslim-controlled country, but Zionist Jews from other countries flooded into Palestine.
