Palestine
A Four Thousand Year History
Nur Masalha

This rich and magisterial work traces Palestine’s millennia-old heritage, uncovering cultures and societies of astounding depth and complexity that stretch back to the very beginnings of recorded history. Starting with the earliest references in Egyptian and Assyrian texts, Nur Masalha explores how Palestine and its Palestinian identity have evolved over thousands of years, from the Bronze Age to the present day. Drawing on a rich body of sources and the latest archaeological evidence, Masalha shows how Palestine’s multicultural past has been distorted and mythologized by Biblical lore and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the process, Masalha reveals that the concept of Palestine, contrary to accepted belief, is not a modern invention or one constructed in opposition to Israel, but rooted firmly in ancient past. Palestine represents the authoritative account of the country's history.

Palestine

Evolved over thousands of years?

Was Jesus a Palestinian? Pontious Pilate?

You be claiming Moses was one, next.

Name one time in history when the entire population left and a whole group of people moved in.

What "entire population"?

RE: Palestine Today
⁜→ P F Tinmore, Mindful, et al,

WHY should our friend "Mindful" address your question WHEN it does not resemble the facts on the ground in the Middle East [Israeli-Palestinian conflict → the entirety of the territory formerly under the Mandate, less Jordan (98% Arab Palestinian)].

(COMMENT)

Even if I were to accept as fact that somewhere between 80% - 85% or ≈ 700,000 → 750,000 Palestinians from a 1.9 million population were (al-Jazeera's figures) displaced beyond the borders of the then newly formed State of Israel, I would be agreeing to a misrepresentation of the facts..

As you can see, in the [ Division for Palestinian Rights (DPR)(Section III) THE AD HOC COMMITTEE ON PALESTINE] Report (Part II → 1947-1977 → Origins and Evolution of the Palestine Problem), the 1.9M figure is the combine approximation of the population of the Jewish State (905K) the Arab State (735K), and that of Jerusalem (205K). That would be ≈ 1.845M (rounded up to 1.9M - The al-Jazeera figure).

There has been so much more exaggrated propaganda that has been thrown about, for so long, that the truth is nowhere to be found → let alone recognized for what it is.

And much of the propaganda that is being exaggreated is done so to divert the attetion from the one, key fact:

"the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,"

Most Respectfully,

If Jesus was a “ Palestinian “ that means his mother was.

What's that got to do with it?

I thought you said it was not worth the try. But you are trying.

Wow. For someone who uses so many words, she sure doesn't actually say much. Did she have a point in all that?
