Israel-Palestine-Jordan
There is No "Palestinian" Nation.
2009-11-28
The Zionist Freedom Alliance of California has been circulating a video on the internet this past week exposing former Member of Knesset Azmi Bishara denying the existence of a “Palestinian” nation. The video was recorded years prior to Bishara entering Israel's parliament in 1996 as head of the Arab Balad party.

#9  There are no distinct 'Israeli' people either.

The UN gave the unoccupied land to the Jewish people so that they could have a homeland where they could be safe. These Jewish people named it Israel. People moved to and live in Israel, and therefore call themselves Israelis.

They didn't make $hit up so they could carve a country out of the middle of a law abiding one.

#8  Not all nations are build along ethnic lines. Israel, like Canada and the United States is comprised of immigrants. Saying that they are Russians, Americans, Morrocans is silly.

There were no Palestinian Arabs until the concept became useful in destroying Israel.

#7  When they give back East Prussia and Silesia to Germany, I'll worry about 'Palestine'. Till then, there are consequences to waging and losing wars.

#6  There are no distinct 'Israeli' people either. Never was.

The so-called Israelis are Russians, Americans, Moroccans, etc...

But then, to the MSM, Judaism is a race too....

#5  There are no distinct 'Palestinian' people either. Never was.

The so-called Palestinians are Jordanians, Syrians, Egyptians, etc...

But then, to the MSM, Islam is a race too....

#4  60 odd years ago there was no "Israeli" nation either..

Until the UN created it, that is.

Still waiting on the resolution that creates "Palestine".

#2  The warring gangs of South Los Angeles are as much a nation as the Palestinians.

#1  It was only recently that local arab speaking regimes operated in the area that was once Roman Palestine. There were no speakers of Arabic - arab culture centered in Yemen until the Meccan bandits arose - West of what is the Jordan River. Although Romans did occupy some parts of Negd and Hijaz, in what is now Saudi Arabia. If anything, local Jews and Christians are the true Palestinians.
