THE CLAIM IS THAT ISRAEL HAS ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED ‘PALESTINIAN’ LAND

THE PROBLEM IS THAT ‘PALESTINE’ HAS NEVER BEEN AN OFFICIAL NATION
THERE ARE NO HISTORIC PEOPLE KNOWN AS ‘PALESTINIANS’
AND, IF THERE WERE, THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE REGION TODAY CANNOT TRACE THEIR LINEAGE TO THOSE ORIGINAL PEOPLES
*********************
LET’S START WITH THE ‘PALESTINE’
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA — Palestine
*********************
NOW, LET’S GO BACK TO THE ‘ORIGINAL PALESTINIANS’
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA — Philistine
Where Did the Philistines Come From?
Who Were the Philistines, and Where Did They Come From?
Ancient Jewish History: The Philistines
Origin of the Philistines (Caphtorim): Crete (Caphtor)

ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA — Caliphate
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA — Ottoman Empire
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA — Balfour Declaration
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA — T. E. Lawrence (a.k.a. ‘Lawrence of Arabia’)
MANDATE FOR PALESTINE (slide presentation)
