What is 'Palestine,' anyway?

Joseph Farah, wnd.com, Jan 26, 2015

Jewish homeland or "Land of Israel" or the "Holy

Land" were all synonymous.

I'm in favor of a Palestinian state.

The British, as legal controlling authority of the mandate, managed the state partially with a Jewish auxiliary until Jews regained official sovereignty in 1948,
by declaring independence.

That may shock some people.

Of course, I'm not talking about the so-called "twostate solution" bandied about by so many in the international community today the one today's socalled "Palestinians" employ to push for their version
of a "final solution."
I'm in favor of the original Palestinian state promised
by the British government in 1917, when "Palestine"
was a rocky, swampy, barren land populated almost
exclusively by Jews who called themselves "Palestinians."
That Palestinian state was a Jewish state bigger than
the current nation of Israel, which has already been
divided up six ways to Sunday in deference to laterarriving Arab populations.
Doubt me?
Take a look at this Larousse French
dictionary from 1939. In the appendix it lists all flags of the world in
alphabetical order. You'll notice that
for Germany, at that time, the flag
was the Nazi one replete with swastika a flag that has not flown anywhere since 1945:
Now, alphabetically, look for the
Palestinian flag. There it is. What does it look like?
Surprised?
It's a blue and white background with a yellow
Star of David. You know that was not the creation
of Arabs. There was already a Palestinian state in
1939 and it was Jewish!
Of course, those who understand history won't be
surprised by this. There was a newspaper called the
Palestinian Post published at the time. It was a Jewish paper. Today it's called the Jerusalem Post.
Jews who lived in the land at that time called themselves "Palestinians." Arabs and Muslims seldom if
ever used that word to describe themselves until after
the 1967 Six-Day War when Yasser Arafat successfully co-opted the term.
Do you hear what I am saying?
From 1920-1948 a (class "A" mandate) State of Palestine existed as per international law but it was, as
all of its major institutions, Jewish.
Until the 1960s, the name "Palestine" resonated as
something Jewish to people's ears. The 4,000-year-old

The U.N. did not recreate Israel as some people

claim.
If you'd like to see all this spelled out in legalese,
check this out in the Yale Law School Library1: Find
out what the Palestinian Mandate was all about it
was about a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
"The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the
country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of
the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions, and also for safeguarding the
civil and religious rights of all the
inhabitants of Palestine, irrespective
of race and religion," it states.
Today, Israel remains the only
nation in the Middle East that affords just that "safeguarding the
civil and religious rights" of all the
people who live within its territory "irrespective of race and religion."
The new, contrived "Palestinian"
movement insists the state it is attempting to create
be free of all Jews "Judenrein," as the Nazis who
inspired their ambitions would say.
So, when I say I favor a "Palestinian state," it's the
original one I'm talking about.
The Arabs only adopted the term in the propaganda
war they waged and continue to wage insinuating
themselves as the original, indigenous population
group in the land. It's not so.
Jews have been the dominant group in "Palestine," no
matter how you define it, since the turn of the 20th
century. And that's true even though for much of that
time they were forbidden and restricted from emigrating there.
It's just too bad so few people comprehend the true
story of the land of Israel. They've been blinded by
disinformation for so long. There's simply no other
way to frame it accurately.
