PALESTINE ARAB CONGRESS

Now facts:

HAIFA, 1920
The third congress opened on 4 December. It was attended by 36 delegates, including Sheik Suleiman al-Taji Al-Faruqi and head of the Catholic community Bullus Shehadeh. The congress was opened by Haifa's mufti, Muhammad Murad. Recently deposed mayor of Jerusalem Musa al-Husayni was elected president and chairman of the nine-member executive committee, a post he held until his death in 1934. The congress called for Palestine to be ruled under identical terms as those of the Mandate of Iraq, with a parliament elected by a one-citizen-one-vote system. Other resolutions:

• Called for Palestine to be part of the independent Arab state promised in the McMahon–Hussein Correspondence. Calls for unity with Syria were dropped, since the area was now under French control.
• Condemned the notion of a homeland for the Jewish people.
• Objected to the recognition of the Hebrew as an official language.
• Opposed Jewish immigration.
• Declared the British administration illegal, since the League of Nations had not yet reached a decision about the status of the territory.

Some delegates, such as Daoud Isa, complained that the congress was not sufficiently radical. After the congress the executive committee met British High Commissioner Herbert Samuel, who insisted that they accept British policy on the Jewish national homeland to receive official recognition. The British claim that the congress was not representative led to a broad campaign by the Muslim-Christian Associations to raise public awareness.

It's very convenient to portray Arabian tribes as indigenous while neglecting Palestinian Jews who lived there longer.

Much as you would like to believe that Zionist bullshit, only the Bedouins in Palestine have a discernible amount of Arabian DNA. The Palestinians are overwhelmingly the descendants of the people that have always lived on Palestine, as is the case in almost all parts of the world. They are descendants of people of various religions that converted to Christianity after Christianity became the state religion of Rome. Those already not Christians converted from paganism (Roman religions), Judaism, Samaritanism and of other religions before it became dangerous to not be a Christian. You may be unaware of the fact that the first Christians once practiced Judaism.

Having lived as a child and worked as an adult in Arab-speaking and Arabian countries I can confirm that you are full of crap. An Egyptian (or Palestinian) has almost nothing in common with a Saudi except for religion and language (only if they are educated and both speak formal Arabic). While I was stationed in Saudi Arabia as a young army officer (U.S. Army) we had many Palestinians working for us as third country nationals (TCNs) who handled much of the clerical work. They were very western compared to the Saudis. They wore western clothes (no thobes) and in private would agree with us that the Saudis were extremely strange and backward people. As a kid in Tunisia (my dad was military attache' there) the Tunisians were also far more western and generically mediteranean than any Arabian/Bedouin. In Palestine the Arabians are the Bedouins, who don't consider themselves Palestinians. In all places where the Arabians ruled, the local people would imitate the culture of the ruling Arabians, even claim some familial ties to the Arabians. That is true in all societies that were under foreign rule. The Romanians today claim to be descendants of the Romans that ruled Dacia for a time. In fact, though the language is a Latin derivative, Romanians have very little Roman ancestry. Your dog won't hunt.

rylah has some knowledge of these things, being Israeli and having lived in the Mideast, unlike Tinmore who has never set foot there. During my travels in Israel, I've also met some Arabs. Somewhat Westernized, but still Arabs. Why does the Palestinian Charter make such a big point of saying that Palestinians are part of the larger Arab Nation, instead of emphasizing their individuality? They can't even wait to get to that point. It's in the very first paragraph (I think in the first sentence, if I'm not mistaken).

 

[montelatici]

Being Israeli means he knows nothing of these things, seeing things from only one point of view. Having lived in the Arabic-speaking world as a child and an adult as an American, I have a much better perspective.

The Palestinians Charter caters to and solicits solidarity from the Arabic speaking world. There similar instances of charters/constitutions e.g. pan-slavism (Yugoslavia), similar movements among Spanish-speaking nations, etc. It didn't mean the Croats and Serbs (who speak the same language) lacked individuality as was later found out.

Not only the Bedouins migrated into the region. There Kurdish soldiers who were left in thousands, most permanently in Hebron. There was a wide variety of Arabian tribes that took part in the invasions and never ending wars. There're whole communities of Egyptian descendants of soldiers and workers that added to to the demographics just prior 1st Zionist immigration. There're Sudanese, Greeks, Afghani/Circasians... You name it.

And this was just in the modern time. There was so much population exchange, and migration documented even by Palestinian sources that it's unbelievable that one can still claim this.
Your static model is lunacy. Only small communities like the Palestinian Jews, one that kept a continuous presence and the indigenous culture could keep to their roots during the numerous invasions, wars and migrations that brought foreign people.

RoccoR take note. The Palestinians had to buy into the settler colonial project to be recognized. You have always falsely portrayed the Palestinians on this.

Did You notice there's no notice of "Palestinians" even in the 3rd Arab congress?
It's very convenient to portray Arabian tribes as indigenous while neglecting Palestinian Jews who lived there longer.

It's the Palestine "Arab" Congress, not "Arabian". You confuse Arabic speaking people, who adopted the language of the Arabian rulers with Arabians. They are descended from people who were predominately Christians before the Arabian invasion, hence the participation of the remaining unconverted Christian Palestinians in the Palestine Congresses. Your old dog won't hunt.

Actually, Levant before the Muslim invasion was predominantly European. With each invasion, cultural and military there was a period of demographic exchange.

The average Palestinian Arab is as much an (i)migrants as the average US citizen.
