Palestinians Deny Jewish Connection to Jerusalem

[montelatici]

You Zionist try so hard. Only the orthodox jews were returning, and only when the pogroms started. The Zionist movement begun in 1850ish. Before that the atheist, secular Zionist didn't want to go to Palestine, they wanted to live in the cities. Jerusalem is a small part of Israel, although growing, and

lets face facts the ones in control now are not real jews from the ancient days. The Pals are the ones that never left. In that case its their land. You Zionist went there and took their farms and pushed them into Gaza(Egypt).

For you to try and go back to Bible time you best read about how your Hebrew ancestors killed the ones who lived there, and no, not because God told them to.

There were no Palestinians during and before the Ottoman Empire, asylum escapee. After the Crusades began, most Jews fled to the Ottoman Empire. It wasn't only the "orthodox". Not sure if such a classification for Jews even existed at the time.

The Arabs who call themselves Palestinians are 20th century invaders from neighboring Arab lands.

True story.

Lying again I see.

"There are now in the whole of Palestine hardly 700,000 people, a population much less than that of the province of Gallilee alone in the time of Christ.* (*See Sir George Adam Smith "Historical Geography of the Holy Land", Chap. 20.) Of these 235,000 live in the larger towns, 465,000 in the smaller towns and villages. Four-fifths of the whole population are Moslems. A small proportion of these are Bedouin Arabs; the remainder, although they speak Arabic and are termed Arabs, are largely of mixed race. Some 77,000 of the population are Christians, in large majority belonging to the Orthodox Church, and speaking Arabic. The minority are members of the Latin or of the Uniate Greek Catholic Church, or--a small number--are Protestants.

The Jewish element of the population numbers 76,000. Almost all have entered Palestine during the last 40 years. Prior to 1850 there were in the country only a handful of Jews. In the following 30 years a few hundreds came to Palestine.

The last Crusade ended in 1291, the Ottoman Empire wasn't established until 1299, you moron. Constant bullshit from you.

The Palestinians are the descendants of the people that have always lived in Palestine. Cut and pasting Zionist fairy tales doesn't change the facts.

Nothing you post is true.

Everything you post is a lie and filled with Jew hate. Jews had been migrating back to their holy for over 2000 years. Jews are Jews, Arabs are invaders and squatters from neighboring lands.

"The Crusader rule over Palestine had taken its toll on the Jews. Relief came in 1187 when Ayyubid Sultan Saladin defeated the Crusaders in the Battle of Hattin, taking Jerusalem and most of Palestine. (A Crusader state centred round Acre survived in weakened form for another century.) In time, Saladin issued a proclamation inviting all Jews to return and settle in Jerusalem, and according to Judah al-Harizi, they did: "From the day the Arabs took Jerusalem, the Israelites inhabited it."[98] al-Harizi compared Saladins decree allowing Jews to re-establish themselves in Jerusalem to the one issued by the Persian Cyrus the Great over 1,600 years earlier."

Hhh...so the were smart enough to read the book to invent another lie. Let them prove that using our sources again..
Ok it doesn't matter to You that all You claim for years has been proven a joke, it's ok while "Jebu-Stinians"
know to play by the script.

Now I had a basis for my statements, one You can't deny. What's Yours except for a link?

irrelevant and false. As Jews were a majority in Jerusalem their holy city 1800's and this majority had been building up for almost 800 years.

You post that document a thousand more times it's not going to change the fact that the land has always been and will always be Jewish land.

Those 5 Jews who lived in "Palestine" prior to 1850 accomplished a whole lot--putting up artists' colonies in Sefad, building up Tiberias, developing Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), etc.

 

[rylah]

So here are some examples showing that that the essence of Judaism is its' homeland Israel, Jerusalem:

*After partaking of a light meal, the thanksgiving blessing states:
"Have mercy, Lord, our God...on Jerusalem, Your city; and on Zion, the resting place of Your glory... Rebuild Jerusalem, the city of holiness, speedily in our days. Bring us up into it and gladden us in its rebuilding and let us eat from its fruit and be satisfied with its goodness and bless You upon it in holiness and purity.”

*Zion and Jerusalem are mentioned 5 times in the 18-blessing Amidah prayer, the central prayer of the Jewish liturgy, which calls for the restoration of Jerusalem to the Jewish nation. It is said while facing towrds Jerusalem:
"And to Jerusalem your city may you return....Blessed are you, builder of Jerusalem." "May our eyes behold your return to Zion...Blessed are you, who restors his presence to Zion."

*The Mussaf prayer states:
"But because of our sins we have been exiled from our land and sent far from our soil...Draw our scattered ones near from among the nations, and bring in our dispersions from the ends of the earth. Bring us to Zion your city in glad song, and to Jerusalem home of your sanctuary in eternal joy."

*The Ya'a'le Ve-Yavo prayer mentions the "remembrance of Jerusalem, the city of your holiness."
In the Grace After Meals which is recited after partaking of a meal eaten with bread, the following is said:
"Have mercy Lord, our God...on Jerusalem Your city, on Zion the resting place of Your glory..." and "Rebuild Jerusalem, the holy city, soon in our days. Blessed are you God who rebuilds Jerusalem in His mercy, Amen."


SO DO JEWS HAVE A CONNECTION TO JERUSALEM? NOT "MINORITIES/MAJORITIES", BUT AS STATED A "CONNECTION"?

My guess You'll say no 'cause that takes time to percieve.

The Pole was living in Poland and the Palestinian was living in Palestine. Is that a hint?

And the Jews live in Jewreselum

At one time, but then so did the Canaanites, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Turks, Palestinians, did I forget anyone? It was and is Herods temple they are praying to. Judaism got started in Babylon and only what about 40,000 hebews returned to Jerusalem when King Cyrus said they could and they never did finish rebuilding that temple that Persia gave them money for, took them centuries.

 

[Phoenall]

We really have a problem here don't we? Just who are the Jebusites that are in the OT of which jews deny?

The politicians Yasser Arafat[25] and Faisal Husseini[26] have claimed that the Palestinian Arabs may be descended from the Jebusites, in contrast to the more common Palestinian Arab claim that they are descended from the Canaanites. Thus, the 1978 Al-Mawsu'at Al-Filastinniya (Palestinian encyclopedia) asserted, "The Palestinians [are] the descendants of the Jebusites, who are of Arab origin," and described Jerusalem as "an Arab city because its first builders were the Canaanite Jebusites, whose descendants are the Palestinians."[27]

There is no archaeological evidence to support the claim of Jebusite-Arab-Palestinian continuity

Judges 1:21 portrays the Jebusites as continuing to dwell at Jerusalem, within the territory otherwise occupied by the Tribe of Benjamin.

Certain modern archaeologists now believe that the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites under Joshua simply didn't happen, and that the Israelites actually originated as a subculture in Canaanite society;[17] some biblical scholars believe that the accounts in the Book of Joshua are cobbled together from folk memory of disconnected battles, with numerous different aggressors, which occurred over a time period of over 200 years.[17][5][18]

According to the Books of Samuel, the Jebusites still had control of Jerusalem at the time of King David, but David wished to take control of the city; understandably the Jebusites contested his attempt to do this, and since Jebus was the strongest fortress in Canaan they gloated that even the blind and lame could defeat David's army; an alternative, equally valid, translation of the Jebusite's statement is that they said David would have to defeat the blind and lame before anyone else

Jebusite - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

So now either the Palestinians are the ancient Hebrews and jews or they are the original owners of Palestine.

No Jebusites , no King David or Solomon.

Get it right the islamonazi terrorists who stole the name Palestine to give their terrorist group some credibility

Well here we go again....
But look at the premise of this topic- "PALESTINIANS DENYING JEWISH CONNECTION TO JERUSALEM"!
So if You accept the national side of the argument, being that Jews are a nation by definition
as also religious tradition You cannot accept the original statement of the topic.

So do Jews have connection to Jerusalem?

According to the Penepoop the asylum escapee with a Palestinian boyfriend, even if Jews have a connection to Jerusalem, THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO....BECAUSE THEY'RE JEWS!

For one thing I'm married to a lapsed RC American Caucasian man, and it seems that we have a problem , just who are the Jews that you talk about??

Does not mean he cant be a muslim ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

At one time what? So did the jews stop praying daily wishing to get back to Jerusalem, see it being rebuilt?

And does anyone of the mentioned above claim Jerusalem or Israel as their homeland?
Or is it one group that can't pronounce "palestine" since...when? 2000 years, 700 years...
since 1967. And they claim Jews don't have a connection to Jerusalem. Very sinister,
but not new.

 

[Challenger]

My post doesn't dispute anything you posted from the Jewish Encyclopedia. The Jewish population of the city of Jerusalem certainly increased over time until it became the majority. This does not, however, apply to Palestine as a whole. The native population (largely composed of Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians, etc.) gradually adopted the Arabic language, culture and religion in the centuries following the Arab conquests. Actual Arabs from Arabia were always a relatively small minority in Palestine, as were the Turks that followed them as rulers. Both Christianity and Judaism were tolerated by the Arabian Muslims.

Just because there were Jewish communities in the region throughout that time does not give European Zionists the right to colonise the region and dispossess the native population.

Bottom line: Jews kept migrating back to their holy land for 2000 years, as evidenced during the Ottoman Empire and leading up to the 1800's which created a majority in Jerusalem. Since there was NO MUSLIM MAJORITY in Jerusalem as far back as the 1400's, the Arab Muslim claim on it is hogwash, as they are 20th recent century invaders from neighboring Arab lands.

Israel has always been and will always be the Jewish holy land, first and foremost. The Jews that migrated back from Europe in the 1900's were joining their brethren in their ancestral holy land, and did so legally.

Case closed.

In your dreams. What you fail to point out is that most Jewish people invited into the Ottoman Empire settled anywher BUT Palestine. most preferred to settle in Istanbul or the Balkans or in Anatolia, only a small fraction decided to settle there. You are right to say that Jewish people migrated to Palestine thruoughout the last 2000 years, there was nothing and no-one stopping them from migrating, settling and creating a Jewish "homeland". The pertinent question is why so few bothered to undertake the journey? The answer is simply that they didn't care.

Well that's bullshit because there are clear records of Jewish populations increasing in Jerusalem and Safed in the 1500's. Mentally Challeged has a reading comprehension problem it appears.

Never said they didn't increase, but of the 150,000 Sephardics expelled from Spain, no more than 3,500 famillies migrated to the levant. Most went to Salonika and Istanbul or Alexandria, etc. Here's the wiki link, just to keep it simple for you. Jews in Turkey - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Wrong again. jews were coming back before and especially during the Ottoman Empire:

History of the Jews and Judaism in the Land of Israel - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

...

Have you read the article? Jewish migration was minimal throughout that period, increasing to any significance in the 19th Century.

But most moved to Ottoman lands and from there later moved to the holy land. It might not have been a direct line but they did get there.

Yes, of course. Let's ignore for the moment the facts that Muslims don't pray facing Jerusalem, don't fast 4x a year regarding Jerusalem's destruction, or don't mention Jerusalem in their Quran. Even in their own estimation, it's their third holiest city, and not their first--like by Jews. Christians believe in a Heavenly Jerusalem or the New Jerusalem of believers in Christ.

Really and you know that how? When Ashkenazis in the US or anywhere else, where do they face when praying. How many Israelites have never even been to the western wall or pray to it. If Jews were attached to Jerusalem they would of never waited for WWII to return and many of them forced to and paid to return.

Or are the real Jews the Palestinians that many adopted Islam due to they thought it was more pure? Its no doubt there are Jewish women who dress just like muslims with the hijab or whatever they call it. So do jews have a connection to Jerusalem, they gave it up many centuries ago.
