Are Palestinians Native to Palestine? 
Can two opposing people claim a ‘time immemorial’ nativity in the same land? Yes, but not at the  same time. To claim any such ancient nativity both party’s claims require evidencing, otherwise one is  a deception. Here, even belief and majority rule is insufficient as both are open to error and corruption.  A time immemorial premise can refer only to what evidential history says, and this can only be  measured via validated writings and archaeological imprints or an empirical means other than belief.

Namely, it cannot be so because some are saying so without any imprints, nor can this presentation; an  arms-length historical validation must apply. And such validation must ideally possess cross-references  and multiple verifications of exemplary historical references when it is contradicted by another.  Thereby, the ‘time immemorial’ claim must affirm either the Arabs or the Jews possessed an ancient  sovereignty in this land.

For the Jews, their claim is of a habitation of some 4,000 years ago and a sovereignty rule 3,000 years  ago. The references cited here are as exemplary; other similar references from numerous sources may  be independently investigated. While the new generation may not be fully aware of these historical  factors, there is no question all of their peers, Christians and the Arab peoples, including of their  religious sectors, are fully aware of them. It is the reason this book uses the term ‘Deceptions’.

Circa 2,000 Years Ago. It is historically validated the Arab people called as Palestinians in the 20^th Century were not the inhabitants or ruling force of Judea when Rome invaded and destroyed Jerusalem  and its Temple 2,000 years ago. In the Roman war with the Jews, the Arabs are mentioned as  mercenaries in the Roman legions; these were not citizens of Judea. It is seen in the archives of Roman  historians like Tacitus and Josephus, and in the Gospels and the Quran that Judea, previously called as  Israel, was the land of the Jews. Judea, the land of the Jews, was re-named as Palestine by the Romans  in the second Century (135 AD/CE); this was not the land of the Arabs. ^[21]

Circa 2, 600 Years Ago. The Arab people were also not the inhabitants or ruling force of Judah (the  pre-Latin name of Judea) when Babylon invaded and destroyed the Jerusalem Temple in the 6^th Century BCE. There are no Arabs mentioned in these historical archives. ^[22] Circa 3,000 Years Ago.

The Arab people were not the inhabitants or ruling force of Israel, the land ruled by the Jews as a  sovereign kingdom from 1002 BCE to 135 CE. Israel is the previous name of Judah, established by  King David with Jerusalem as its capital; Canaan was the previous name of this land. There are no  Arabs that are mentioned in these historical archives. ^[23]

Thereby, there are no recorded imprints of Arabs ruling this land from the Canaanite to the Roman  invasion period. We have no recorded Arab kings, cities, wars, language or writings in this land 3,000  years ago, or 4,000 years ago, or throughout all recorded history, and thereby it negates the ‘time  immemorial’ claim for this period of history as a deception. The original Philistines, who invaded and  ruled in Gaza for a short period, were not Arabs, nor were the pre-Hebrew Canaanites an Arab people.  Here, the Dead Sea Scrolls dated up to 408 BCE, with some portions 600 BCE; the Tel Dan discovery;  and the first and second temple period discovery of relics, also act as aligning evidences this was the  ‘land of the Jews’, not of the Arabs.

• “Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel extended over 1400 years. It was the Jews who first  implanted their culture and customs of their permanent settlement” – (Ibn Khaldun, one of the most  creditable Arab historians; 1377 c.e.)
• “The Jews lived in the Land of Israel for seventeen hundred years virtually uninterrupted until the  Roman destruction of its national polity in AD 70. At this point, Israel’s population of over two and  one-half million was abruptly decimated by massive slaughter and expulsion. But as late as AD 617,

Jews controlled Jerusalem and a large portion of the Land. After that time, even though Arabs  conquered the land, they were only a minority. Then through the centuries of Christian Crusader rule  and the Mameluke period, the Land was still dominated by Jewish culture and customs until AD 1400  even though the Arabs eventually became a small majority.” – (Bible Students Congregation of New  Brunswick)

Roman War Proof. 
Rome went to war with the Jews in the first century, destroying the Jerusalem Temple in the year 70  AD/CE. Rome changed the name of Judea to Palestine and expelled many of the Jews in the second  century (135 AD/CE). That the Arabs were mercenaries recruited in the Roman legions and destroying  the Jerusalem temple is validated by the archives of the Romans and the Greeks, as well as its  corresponding archaeological discoveries. Namely, the Romans were engaged in a war with the Jews in  their homeland of Judea in the first and second centuries; thereby this was thus not an Arab land. Israel  was returned to her own land, not of an Arab land. There are no historical records of a civilization  dating 7,000 years. Here, both the periods prior to 1002 BCE Israel (Canaan), and after the 2^nd Century  Roman conquest, should also be examined; the former to determine any imprints of Arabs or a Pre Arab people from time immemorial in Canaan prior to 4,000 years, the latter whether Arabs were the  natives of Palestine since the Roman destruction of Judea 2,000 years ago. An examination of such a  period fully covers the term ‘from time immemorial’.

Post Roman Palestine. 
The Christians, not the Arabs, ruled Palestine after the Romans. The Jews, banned from Jerusalem  under Christian rule that followed the Roman edict, were now inhabited in smaller numbers yet not  fully displaced from the land. Seven centuries after the Roman war with the Jews, the emergent Islam  invaded Palestine, but they did not rule Palestine before this time. ^[24] In 638 a church was destroyed by  the invading Mohammedans and a mosque was erected in its place. ^[25] The Jews were inhabitants of  Palestine under Islam and found relatively peaceful habitation and given their right of belief. The

Islamic invasion in the 7^th Century says this was not the prior land of Islam or the Arabs in the first  seven centuries after Rome destroyed the Jerusalem Temple:

• “In 638, Umar, the first Islamic Caliph, requested to be led to the Temple Mount, an acknowledgment  of Islam’s acceptance of the Hebrew prophetic tradition. After reaching the Temple Mount, the caliph  found himself disgusted on seeing the heaped garbage in the sacred enclosure that expressed Christian  contempt for the Judaic faith. Umar ordered the area to be cleansed out of respect for the Jews, an act  that also prepared the sacred Jewish site for Muslim worship” ^[26]

In 1099, the Crusaders stormed Jerusalem and re-established its new control; virtually all of the city’s  Muslim and Jewish populations were butchered. ^[27]

The Ayyubid Period (1187-1516) 
The invasive wars continued between the forces of Christianity and Islam and of their sub-groups  throughout the following centuries. Palestine’s history witnessed the reigns of many invasions,  including the 12^th Century Saladin (Salah al-Din) who recaptured Jerusalem. This was followed by  Saladin’s nephew al-Malik al Muazzam Isa; then by Hohenstaufen Emperor Frederick II (1229-1244);  the Turkish Khawarism conquest that exterminated the entire Christian population of Jerusalem of  7,000, except for 300 who survived by fleeing to Jaffa; then the further devastation by the Mongols.  The emerging Turkish Mamluk’s war with the Mongols was so destructive that it left Jerusalem as a  neglected, isolated and ravaged city. On the eve of the Ottoman conquest, the city numbered forty-four  madrasas and twenty zawias. ^[28]

While the Islamic forces substantially diminished the Christian rule, two significant factors can be  established:

1. That although the major population of Jews were exiled throughout the nations in Arabia and across  the Mediterranean seas (Europe), they always maintained a Jewish presence in Jerusalem and the  surrounding cities consistently, including in Jerusalem, Megiddo, Hebron and Bethlehem.
2. That none of the forces that battled over Jerusalem for 2,000 years were the ‘time immemorial’ people of this land; many of these invading forces were not natives of Palestine; and following the  Islamic invasion of the 7^th Century, these were not Arab, including the Crusaders, the Mongols and the  Ottoman Turks.

We know of the Jewish continuous habitation by examining their status in Arabia, Palestine and  Jerusalem under the final invasive empire of the region, one that was not Arab and prevailed for four  centuries previous to World War One.

The Ottoman Period (1516-1917) 
Prior to W.W.1 the Jews were prominent inhabitants of Palestine under the previous Ottoman Empire.  It is a positive affirmation of the ‘time immemorial’ history of the Jews with this land’s historical  records from the 9^th Century, thereby negating that the Jews in Palestine as based on recent  immigration from the Spanish Expulsion of the 15^th Century. Although Spain’s expulsion did create an  in-flow and expanded population, they returned to an already prevailing Jewish habitation in the  Ottoman reign. The Jews prayed at the Jerusalem Temple site continuously throughout biblical times  up to the Ottoman period; the last Islamic Sultan acknowledging Jerusalem as the ancient holy city of  the Jews, not the Arabs, Christianity or Islam.

Ottoman Jews at the Western Wall – by Felix Bronfils, 1870.

Ottoman Period Jews. 
The Jews are historically recorded in Palestine dating prior to the Ottoman rule, including in the  Assyrian invasion (9^th Century BCE); the Babylon invasion (6^th Century BCE); the Greek invasion of  Alexander the Great (300 BCE) under Ptolemy when the Hebrew Bible was first translated (the  Septuagint Bible); and the Roman destruction and Christian rule up to the 7^th Century AD/CE.

In the later Ottoman rule that began in 1516, the Jews were among the most entrenched and recognized  people as the ‘Yehoudim’ (Jews) of the ‘Land of Yisrael.’ The Jews constituted most of the Ottoman  Empire’s doctors, lawyers, accountants and writers, and developed many of their great institutions in  Ottoman controlled Palestine.

This history says the Jews, not the Arabs, are this land’s inhabitants since the time predating the  Assyrian invasion of the 9^th Century BCE (3,400 years according to the Egyptian Amarna Letters); and the previous 400-year period prior to WW1; thereby that the Arabs are not its natives from time  immemorial as is claimed; the evidence allocates such a premise solely to the Jews. Thus the Arabs  cannot qualify as native refuges of Palestine:

• The Scroll of Ahimaaz, which predates Ottoman rule, is of a Hebrew family chronicle in rhymed  prose written by Ahimaaz ben Paltiel (1017-c.60); the scroll bears the Hebrew title “Sefer Yuhasin” (‘Book of Genealogies’; Neubauer’s ed., pp. 111-113, 132, 133). The narrative’s text covers the 9th  and 10th centuries when the author’s forebears were leaders of their communities and well-known  poets. The scroll of Ahimaaz mentions the location of the Jewish Temple as a Jewish prayer site; it was  sanctioned as such under the Ottoman rule. – (The Oxford Dictionary of the Middle Ages).
• In Ottoman controlled Palestine, thirty Jewish communities existed in Haifa, Sh’chem, Hebron,  Ramleh, Gaza, Jerusalem and many in the north, with Safed as a spiritual centre for esoteric Kabala  study. The Sulchan Aruch, the most widely consulted ‘Code of Jewish Law’ ever written was authored  in Safed by Yosef Karo in 1563. As well, many Kabbalistic texts were developed in Safed. – (Codex  Judaica, Mattis Kantor 2005; History of the Jews in the Ottoman Empire.)
• Compared with other Ottoman subjects, they (the Jews) were the predominant power in commerce  and trade as well in diplomacy and other high offices. In the 16th century especially, the Jews rose to  prominence under the millets, the apogee of Jewish influence could arguably be the appointment of  Joseph Nasi to Sanjak-bey (governor, a rank usually only bestowed upon Muslims) of the island of  Naxos. – (Charles Issawi & Dmitri Gondicas; Ottoman Greeks in the Age of Nationalism, Princeton,  (1999)
• The first Jewish synagogue linked to Ottoman rule is Etz ha-Hayyim (?? ????? ;Lit. Tree of Life) in  Bursa which passed to Ottoman authority in 1324. The synagogue is still in use, although the modern  Jewish population of Bursa has shrunk to about 140 people. – (International Jewish Cemetery Project;  Turkey).
• It would not be difficult to put together the names of a very sizeable number of Jewish subjects or  citizens who have attained to high rank, to power, to great financial influence, to significant and  recognized intellectual attainment – (G.E. Von Grunebaum, “Eastern Jewry Under Islam, 1971, page  369.)

Left: Jewish Ottoman Doctor (1558 Woodcut, Nicolay de Nicolay; p.185); Right: Ottoman Jew,  Paining 1675.

• “Most of the physicians were Jews, including court physicians such as Hakim Yakoub, Joseph and  Moshe Hamon, Daniel Fonseka and Gabriel Buenauentura, to name only a few. One of the most  significant innovations the Jews brought to the Ottomans was the printing press.” Sulaiman the  Magnificent (1520-66), like his predecessor Salim I., had a Jewish body-physician, Moses Hamon II.,  who accompanied his royal master on his campaigns. – (Life of Ottoman Jewry, Jewish World Libr.)
• “The Jews offered Hebrew prayers for success during battles with the presence of the Ottoman Prime  Minister in synagogues” (London Illustrated News, 9-6-1877).
• The Jewish population in Jerusalem increased from 70 families to 1,500 at the beginning of the 16th  century. That of Safed increased from 300 to 2,000 families and almost surpassed Jerusalem in  importance. – (Ottoman Jews; Wiki)
• Suleiman the Magnificent was the Caliph of Islam and the tenth and longest-reigning Sultan of the  Ottoman Empire, from 1520 to his death in 1566; he fully acknowledged and endorsed Jewish nativity  of Palestine. In 1560, Suleiman gave the Jews official permission of the right to pray at their Jewish  Temple site.” – (Western Wall Heritage Foundation, Retrieved Dec 16, 2007, Online Libr; The Kotel  Org.)
• “Jews have lived in Turkey from very early times. There was a colony of them in Thessaly at the time  of Alexander the Great; and later they are found scattered throughout the eastern Roman Empire.” –  (Adrianople; Byzantine Empire)
• “The earliest records of Jews in Turkey date back to 220 B.C.E. Turkish Jewry reached its population  zenith — 200,000 members — on the eve of World War I.” – (The Society for Research on Jewish  Communities.)
• “The troubled history of Turkey (previously Ottoman Empire) during the 20th century and the  process of transforming the old Ottoman Empire into a nationalist Islamic nation state after 1923,  however, had a negative effect on the size of all remaining minorities, including the Jews.” – (Turkey;  Wiki).
• “The Land still was permeated with Jewish culture and customs. In AD 1400, there was still no  evidence of Palestinian roots (Arab Palestinians) or established culture.” – (Arab historian Khaldun,  called one of the greatest historians of all time by Arnold Toynbee)
• Ottoman Palestine was not Arab: “At its core, the Ottoman Empire was a multi-ethnic state. The  ruling family was Turkish, but the population was made up of Turks, Kurds, Greeks, Armenians,  Bosnians, Serbians, Persians, Arabs, and others. A wide range of nationalist beliefs existed, but it is  safe to say that those (of the entire Middle East) advocating for a complete break from Ottoman history  and the establishment of ethnic nation-states were a small minority.” – (Ottoman History, Palestine.)

Was Palestine the homeland of Palestinians? 
There was never an Arab country called as Palestine, or an Arab Palestinian people prior to the 1960s  when this name was usurped from the Jews. The name Palestine did not belong to Arabs; it was  applied to Judea, then resurrected in the 20^th Century by Britain. Both Palestine and Palestinian were  names referred exclusively to the Jews and their historical homeland in Britain’s official and legal  documentation, and utilized as the counter to the Arab people.

According to Joan Peter’s critically acclaimed book (“From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the  Arab-Jewish Conflict over Palestine”), a large portion of the Arabs of Palestine were not natives of  Palestine at the time of the formation of Israel in 1948, but had arrived in waves of immigration  starting in the 19th century and continuing through the period of the British Mandate. Namely, there were never a native Arab Palestinian peoples in this land from time immemorial, nor a substantial  number relative to the Jews throughout this recorded history.

Thereby, the Arab time-immemorial nativity claims in Canaan, Israel and Palestine is false and un historical. The denial of the Jewish nativity is also false and un-historical. That these are deceptions  and un-historical is also evidenced by the lack of any Arab institutions or native habitation by the term  Palestinian; the nativity premise in Palestine is not seen by any other people than the Jews. Joan Peter’s findings are also affirmed by an array of prominent historians, writers, theologians and numerous Arab  scholars; the late Peters became subject to much vilifications for her historical portrayal of this history,  one that began as a support of the Arabs, but that turned altogether after her ten-year examination of  Palestine’s history.

A mission of the U.S. Senator Robert Kennedy also affirms the same; his first-hand reporting of this  history will allegedly cost him his life by an assassination.

“Bobby” Kennedy, Israel, 1948. 

• “Over 500,000 Arabs in the 12 years between 1932 and 1944 came into Palestine to take advantage of  living conditions existing in no other Arab state. This is the only country in the Near and Middle East  where an Arab middle class is in existence” – (Robert Francis “Bobby” Kennedy, June 3, 1948; Boston  Post). Robert Kennedy also wrote, “We must deal with the causes of the conflict by ensuring a permanent and enforceable guarantee of Israel’s right to live secure from invasion, and free passage for  ships of all nations through the Gulf of Aqaba and the Suez Canal…” [Robert Kennedy Supports  Israel, RAAB Collection].

A Barren Swamp-Land. 
The previous centuries affirm this land’s population status in the Ottoman period as possessing a  dynamic Jewish population. However, far from being a land of many other displaced peoples, Palestine  was accounted by prominent Historical figures as one of the least populated regions of the world prior  to the Jews returning, affirming that the Arab people arrived later. The historical imprints affirm that  the Arabs called as Palestinians in the 21^st Century are recent 18^th Century onward immigrants and not  of a past population of Palestine:

• “Nothing there is to be seen but a little of the old walls, which is yet remaining and all the rest is  grass, moss and weeds much like to a piece of rank or moist ground.” – (Gunner Edward Webbe,  Palestine Exploration Fund, Quarterly Statement, p. 86; de Haas, History, p. 338)
• “Palestine is a ruined and desolate land.” – (Count Constantine François Volney, 18^th century French  author and historian)
• “The land in Palestine is lacking in people to till its fertile soil.” – (British archaeologist Thomas  Shaw, mid-1700s)
• “There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent (valley of Jezreel, Galilea); not for thirty  miles in either direction. One may ride ten miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings. Palestine  sits in sackcloth and ashes… desolate and unlovely.” – (“The Innocents Abroad”, by Mark Twain,  1867).

Modern scholars of this history also reject the premise of Arab Palestinians as natives of Palestine:

• “The fact is that today’s Palestinians are immigrants from the surrounding nations! I grew up well  knowing the history and origins of today’s Palestinians as being from Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Morocco,  Christians from Greece, Muslim Sherkas from Russia and Muslims from Bosnia.” – (Joseph Farah,  “Myths of the Middle East”)
• “The Arabs themselves, who are its inhabitants, cannot be considered but temporary residents. They  pitched their tents in its grazing fields or built their places of refuge in its ruined cities. They created  nothing in it. Since they were strangers to the land, they never became its masters. The desert wind that  brought them hither could one day carry them away without their leaving behind them any sign of their  passage through it. With slight exceptions they are probably all descendants of the old inhabitants of  Syria.” – (Stephen Olin, D.D., L.L.D., called one of the most noted of American theologians after his  extensive travels in the Middle East wrote of the Arabs in Palestine.)
• “It is not true that there were “Palestinians” living in Israel since ancient times only to be displaced  by European Jews in the 20th century. The Jews have an ancient claim to the land.” – (Courtesy The  Bob Siegel Radio Show Quote.)

Historical Census Accounts. 
Five centuries of Palestine were described as deficient of any natural resources, including water for  irrigation, forsaken and neglected by the previous Ottoman Empire. Chiefly, it was not the land of the  Arabs or an Arab populated region or country; the last ruling reign of Palestine for 400 years was the  Ottomans (A Turkish people), itself an invading force and not an Arab people.

The historical archives of Palestine say Jerusalem’s population was predominately and  overwhelmingly of Jews and Christians even when ruled by the Ottomans and that Palestine was left  barren and un-catered for centuries prior to the Jews who alone developed this land; that the Jews  began development of the land when news of a return consideration began to surface via early  American Presidents and Herzl’s endeavors. Such is accounted by historical imprints seen in the17^th and 18^th Century census accounts under the Ottomans. The Arab populations were substantially located  in the Middle-East outside of Palestine, but yet under Ottoman rule. Much suppressed archives have  now emerged that deny two fundamental factors; namely of any historical Arab Palestinian Native  claims to this land, and the UN’s adopted Historical population claims, as is seen in historical census  reports of the Ottoman period:

17^th Century Population Census Survey 

Historical Book of Muslim Census in Palestine. 

[Titled “Palestina” (Original Latin name Palaestine by Hadriani Relandi — its original professional  name Palaestina, ex monumentis veteribus illustrata, published by Trajecti Batavorum: Ex Libraria G.  Brodelet, 1714, scholar, geographer, cartographer and well known philologist, spoke perfect Hebrew,  Arabic and ancient Greek]. 

In 1695, the cartographer Relandi was sent on a sightseeing geographical tour to Israel, the land at that  time known as Palestina. He first mapped this historically known land’s geography, then he arranged a  population survey and census of each community. These are his most prominent conclusions:

• Not one settlement in the Land of Israel has a name that is of Arabic origin. Ramallah, for  instance, was called Bet’allah (From the Hebrew name Beit El) and Hebron was called Hebron  (Hevron/Hebrew name).
• Most of the land was empty and desolate. Most of the land was empty, desolate, and the inhabitants  few in number and mostly concentrate in the towns Jerusalem, Acco, Tzfat, Jaffa, Tiberius and Gaza.  Most of the inhabitants were Jews and the rest Christians. There were few Muslims, mostly nomad  Bedouins. Nablus, known as Shechem (Hebrew name), was exceptional, where approximately 120  people, members of the Muslim Natsha family and approximately 70 Shomronites, lived. In the Galilee  capital, Nazareth, lived approximately 700 Christians and in Jerusalem approximately 5000 people,  mostly Jews and some Christians. The Muslims were as nomad Bedouins who arrived in the area as  construction and agriculture labor reinforcement and as seasonal workers.
• No Palestinian heritage or Palestinian nation. The book totally contradicts any post-modern theory  claiming a “Palestinian heritage,” or Palestinian nation. The book strengthens the connection,  relevance, pertinence, kinship of the Land of Israel to the Jews and the absolute lack of belonging to  the Arabs; no names of towns, no culture, no art, no history, and no evidence of Arabic rule; only huge  robbery, pillaging and looting; stealing the Jews’ holiest place, robbing the Jews of their Promised  Land. – [English translation courtesy of Nurit Greenger. “Adrian Reland (1676-1718), Dutch  Orientalist, was born at Ryp, studied at Utrecht and Leiden, and was professor of Oriental languages  successively at Harderwijk (1699) and Utrecht (1701). His most important works were Palaestina ex  monumentis veteribus illustrata (Utrecht, 1714), and Antiquitates sacrae veterum Hebraeorum.”]

Arab Status in Palestine. 
There is no issue that two people cannot be the inhabitants and ruling force in the same land at the  same time. That one such claim is incorrect is validated by historical imprints. Scholars that are of high  merit also agree one claim is false.

• “Historians and archaeologists have generally concluded that most, if not all, modern Palestinians are  probably more closely related to the Arabs of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan, and other countries than  they are to the ancient Jebusites, Canaanites, or Philistines.” – (The American archaeologist Eric Cline  in his book ‘Jerusalem Besieged’)
• “In ‘From Time Immemorial’, Joan exposed the fraud at the heart of the Palestinian national narrative  — the claim of indigenous status in the land of Israel. As Joan showed, most of those who now refer to  themselves as Palestinians were migrants from surrounding Arab lands who came to Israel as economic  migrants beginning in the mid-19th century, and mainly during the period of the British Mandate in the  land of Israel. That is, they came the same time the Jews did.” – [Caroline Glick; Journalist, writer,

Senior Fellow for Middle East Affairs of the Washington DC based Centre for Security Policy.]

Thereby, there appears no other description of the term ‘deception’ applying to the term ‘Time  Immemorial’ of an Arab nativity in the land of Israel. There are no imprints of it in the historical  thread; it accounts the usurping and transfer of the name Palestinian, and the changing of a parcel of  land dotted with ancient Jewish sacred sites that was illegally altered to ‘West Bank’. While such  historical name manipulations are promoted by Britain who was in the controlling forefront of this  region, no credible reasoning allows that the facts were not realized or known this was the exclusively  held land of the Jews, both historically and legally via treaties and via the UN. These name deceptions  numerously appear as a result of manipulations to overturn world history and the 20^th Century legal  agreements to achieve contradictive agendas and commercial interests. Thereby there is also a direct  alignment of appeasement seen in the absence of any conditions placed on the regimes created by  Britain; such machinations have fueled the loss of human rights for the Arab peoples ruled by  lawlessness and inculcated with displacement teachings, harsh propaganda and a lacking of worldly  knowledge. Yet this was a war stratagem of ‘Leave the people fighting’ by Britain who ultimately  cannot be viewed a friend of the Arabs; it fuelled conflicts both within the Arab groups and with the  Jews.

Britain’s Fictional Borders. 
The underlying strategy of creating borders antithetical to the region’s sub-groups affected the Arabs  more than any other sector. This was processed while Britain was servicing of every facility for the  regimes she created, not the Arab peoples. An inevitable rage incurred by restrictions and hopelessness  developed that extended elsewhere, a phenomenon that is already being witnessed globally by mass  immigrations from the choicest lands with the greatest resources. Britain’s devices included name  transfers, treaty corruptions, propaganda and the exploiting of theological factors by appointing figures  like Hajj Amin and encouraging mass immigration in Palestine while barring the Jews from returning.  The Jews became Britain’s expendable fall guy. With her excellent war-time investigative abilities and  knowledge of the Arab groups and its geography, none would know more than Britain the Arabs  claiming a nativity in Palestine was false, as stated by Churchill and other British Ministers. The Arabs  were encouraged by Britain into the land allocated for the Jews; no passports or identification was  required. Britain’s actions are also exposed by those Arabs from the heart-line of Palestine.

• “As I lived in Palestine, everyone I knew could trace their heritage back to the original country their  great grandparents came from. Today’s Palestinians are immigrants from the surrounding nations! I  grew up well knowing the history and origins of today’s Palestinians as being from Yemen, Saudi  Arabia, Morocco, Christians from Greece, Muslim Sherkas from Russia, Muslims from Bosnia, and the  Jordanians next door. My grandfather, who was a dignitary in Bethlehem, almost lost his life by Abdul  Qader Al-Husseni (the leader of the Palestinian revolution) after being accused of selling land to Jews.  He used to tell us that his village Beit Sahur (The Shepherds Fields) in Bethlehem County was empty  before his father settled in the area with six other families. The town has now grown to 30,000  inhabitants.”- (Walid, a Palestinian Arab defector, quoted from “Answering Islam”)
