Palestine Does Not Exist
Gen 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism for tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa. While as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan." Zahir Muhsein, the leader of the al-Sa'iqa Organization and member of the PLO leadership. This statement was made to a Dutch newspaper in 1977.
Ever since God chose Israel, other nations surrounding him have tried to obliterate him. He has been overrun and conquered by many different nations and many times the name of Israel was attempted to be changed to something different. The name Palestine was introduced first by Roman Emperor Hadrian. It was his purpose to embarrass Israel by changing the name to that of Israel's enemy. Such a task had been tried before, but it seems it has always failed.
In the Old Testament, in the Book of Daniel, a prince of the eunuchs of Babylon changed the names of four Hebrews.
Dan 1:6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
Dan 1:7 Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
The sole purpose of the name change is to identify them with Babylon and it's king. It is like a mark of ownership. many know the names of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, but they don't realize that those are Babylonian names given to them.
The whole purpose of the Arab nations is the destruction of Israel. The Arabs were embarrassed by Israel during the Six Day War and realized there was no way they could defeat Israel militarily. They also realized that Israel was seen as King David while the Arab nations were seen as Goliath. The way to defeat Israel would be through cunningness as Delilah found the secret to Samson's strength.
Thus was born the Palestinian people. It was at the time a fabrication invented with the idea of using it as a psychological weapon against Israel. Now the world sees Palestine as the small David and Israel as the giant Goliath. They use the sympathy card to get people around the world to believe that Israel is the terrorist state and Palestine is a people without a nation.
Even today as we live, the US and other nations are attempting to divide Israel into two separate nations. This tiny piece of land which is about one fifth of one percent of all the land belonging to the Arab nations, is being split in two. The lies told by the Arab nations is still believed today even though the lie has been exposed by those in leadership positions in those nations!
Maps of Israel
No Such Land as Palestine
"There is no such land. Palestine is a term invented by the Zionists. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our land was for hundreds of years a part of Syria." Abd al-Mahdi, a local Arab leader, testified before the Peal Commission in 1937.
There had been no mention of a Palestinian people in ecyclopedias, history books, nor had there been any archaelogical evidence for them found anywhere. It's as if they never existed before. It is a lie which has been spread for a very long time by Arab leaders whose only motivation is to destroy Israel and erase it from the map.
The designation of Palestine was actually the work of two European Colonial Ministers, an Englishman, Herman Sykes, and a Frenchman, George Picot, who wrote on the map of the land, Palestine.
They knew Palestine had never before existed, yet they created the nation on the map of Israel. Never before had that nation existed, no nation ever bore the name, and it hadn't even been mentioned for around 1300 years at the time when Muslims were dominant in the area. The name "Palestine" was merely a political fabrication of the Roman Emperor Hadrian and had disappeared completely with the Roman Empire.
Israel regained independence when the Land was once again named "Eretz Yisrael" (the Land of Israel). If the name Israel had not been preserved in the hearts of Jewish People and Christian Bible loving nations, the nation of Israel might never have been reborn.
Now we come to what I don't understand at all. Arafat and others admitted to the lie that they told. They stated that there never was a Palestine or a Palestinian people. They stated that it was all a fabrication and that the only purpose of it is to destroy Israel. Our presidents surely knew about the confessions. Why would they keep pushing for Israel to give up land to a people who never existed? They are Arabs and comes from the different Arab nations surrounding Israel.
They were placed in the Land of Israel for different purposes. One is to keep the fires of hate going between Israel and the Arabs. One more purpose is to get sympathy from many Western nations for the "poor Palestinian people." They keep working toward the goal of sympathy and are able to be seen as a small people against a giant nation. The David and Goliath saga, but reversed now due to lies and propaganda.

My Conclusion
It is my opinion that the people called Palestinians, should be removed from Israel. They should be taken back to the Arab nations from where they came to begin with. The lies that had been told should be exposed to the whole world and Israel should back down from any compromises with Hamas. They should go into the West Bank and removes them forcibly if need be. They have walked softly for too long now and will be defeated if left to go as it is. Their tanks and planes cannot work effectively against propaganda which is believed by so many people around the world and even in Israel itself.
I believe the leaders of the nation of Israel should resign and allow others to come in who have backbone about them and refuse to give up one inch of Israel land to Arabs. They must stand on the promise of God to Abraham. They must continue to possess the land which God gave them.
We can certainly see what was meant by Muhammad in the Qur'an below.
Bukhari:V4B52N220 "Allah's Apostle said, 'I have been made victorious with terror.'"
Qur'an:8:12 "I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle."
It seems this time the incapacitation will come through lies and propaganda causing pressure from the nations of the world than by the sword. It looks to me as if it is too late to really stop it from happening, but I know God is able to stop it or speed it up whichever he decides to do.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

You say that the media is biased against Israel, and The world has turned a deaf ear to Israel, and listens to the lies of it's enemy. An enemy who only wants to kill every Jew from the face of the earth.
Sirdent you are sadly mistaken or taking all for a ride.
Did the Muslims bought the World famous;REUTERS ,CNN , BBC, NEW YORK TIMES from the Jews ?
OR
Are they being paid to speak for the Muslims ?
HAD THE MUSLIMS NOT HELPED AND HEALED HE JEWS, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTINCT BY NOW, as they were driven away from ALL OVER EUROPE.
Muslims gave them shelter, when the Christians were after their lives. THESE ARE ELEMENTARY FACTS,WHICH EVERY EDUCATED PERSON OUGHT TO KNOW.
Now read this if you, care for the truth;
=========================================
Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik said:
"The Zionists aren't taking Jews away from Judaism in order to have a State, THEY NEED A STATE IN ORDER TO TAKE JEWS AWAY FROM JUDAISM"
Former Israel's President Mr Ezer Weizman says ;
"I think there are closer relations between Jews and Muslims than between the Jews and Christians. For Muslims do not eat pork, as well as Jews. Islam did not wage crusades nor persecuted the Jews as the Christians did in Europe."
• (Speech at the 1997 Yom Hashoah Commemoration (Holocaust Memorial) Honoring Albanian Righteous Gentiles and Jewish Survivors, New York City Council Chamber, May 2, 1997)
Remembering Albania's Protection of the Jews During the Holocaust
by Dr. Anna Kohen
•
Dear Friends:
•I'm honored to be here today commemorating the biggest tragedy of our nation, the Holocaust. We are also here to celebrate one of the aspects of human behavior -- that of helping each other in time of need. We look back on these dark times of civilization with tearful eyes and broken hearts trying to find lighter moments to ease the pain.
Every tradegy has its own good side. It brings people together regardless of race, color, or religion. It tries to restore hope in their victim's soul and attempts to heal the wounds inflicted on them by their fellow humans. The Holocaust is not only going to be remembered for the millions of lives that perished into the flames of hatred, it will also be remembered for the humanity of others helping the Jews.
There is a small country in the heartland of Europe called Albania where I was fortunately born, where hospitality to foreigners is part of their tradition. During the Second World War, not only did the Albanians save all the Jews who were living among them but they dared to share their homes, their food and their lives with them. Albania has its share of Oscar Shindlers, and, indeed, so many that we could never have thanked each glorious one of them.
Let us be reminded that not one - not one - of the Jews living in Albania, or those who sought refuge there were turned over to the fascists -- all found a safe haven at great danger to their protectors.
My family was one of many who were saved. I'm not a survivor but a child of survivors, born in Vlora in southern Albania. My parents, Nina and David Kohen, came from Janina, Greece. They were living in Vlora when the Nazis invaded Albania. They fled to the mountains and hid in a small Muslim village called Trevlazer. They took Muslim names, my father David became Daut, my mother Nina became Bule, and my brother Elio became Ali. Everyone in the village knew they were Jews but not one person betrayed them.
I had a very interesting experience that I would like to share with you: when I was about 5 or 6 years old, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I heard someone shouting, "Bule, Bule!!!" I turned my head to see what was going on, and this woman was running towards us. She ran to my mother and started to kiss and hug her with tears streaming down her face. Later on, my mother told me that she was one of the women from the Muslim village that had saved her life. Other Jews were hiding in people's houses. As you can see, the Albanian people risked their lives for the Jews. I would not be here today delivering this speech if it were not for the courage and generosity of those Albanians.
Until the year 1990, little was known about Albania and the Albanian Jews but when things began to change in the country, an Israeli photographer, Gavra Mandil, remembered the Veseli family who saved his life. Gavra Mandil had taken refuge in Albania after the Nazis invaded Yugoslavia, and the Veseli family saved him. He invited Refik Veseli to Israel, and, for the first time, an Albanian Muslim was honored with the title Righteous Gentile. As a matter of fact, if you look at the calendar in the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, on the second page in the month of February, is a picture of Gavra Mandil and Refik Veseli. Since then, more and more Righteous Albanians were discovered and honored in Israel. A list of all of their names is posted in the museum.
On behalf of the Albanian Jews living in Albania, Israel, and America, I would like to give a message to the Albanian people and the Righteous Gentiles: thank you for saving us, we will never forget you.
As Apostol Kotani says in his recent book, The Hebrews of Albania During Centuries, "Sikur te kisha krahe e te fluteroja do te veja te puthja token Shqipetare qe me shpetoj jeten. / If I could have wings to fly, I would come to kiss the holy Albanian land which saved my life." Thank you.
What is the 'Golden Age'? Did the Muslims really blossom together with Jews?
•In fact, the years between 900 and 1200 in Spain and North Africa are known as the Hebrew "golden age," a sort of Jewish Renaissance that arose from the fusion of the Arab and Jewish intellectual worlds. Jews watched their Arab counterparts closely and learned to be astronomers, philosophers, scientists, and poets.
•"At its peak about one thousand years ago, the Muslim world made a remarkable contribution to science, notably mathematics and medicine. Baghdad in its heyday and southern Spain built universities to which thousands flocked. Rulers surrounded themselves with scientists and artists. A spirit of freedom allowed Jews, Christians, and Muslim to work side by side..."
NOW DO YOU STILL THINK THAT THE MUSLIMS, ARE THE ENEMIES OF THE JEWS OR IS IT THE OTHER WAY TODAY ???
ISLAM DOES NOT TEACH US TO KILL/HARM/TORTURE/HARRASS/HURT anybody, not even the animals, which is the reason why we make the animal drink water and relax before sacrifice.
The Christians during the Crusades and now Israel, is creating havoc on the Muslims, wherever they can; but praise be to Allah, Muslims still exist throughout the World with a lot more dignity, than the others.
The enemies of Islam, are working overtime to defame the great religion of Peace, with their clout on the world media & in the International Society.
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BLOWING THEMSELVES UP, IN JEWISH AREAS,
ARE THE ONES, WHO HAVE LOST THEIR KITH AND KIN, DUE TO JEWISH BARBARITY, AND AMERICAN COMPLICITY ARE TOTALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE SITUATION, HENCE KILLING THEMSELVES, ALONGWITH THE JEWS,
This is NOT permitted in Islam.
Please think better and write better, henceforth;
Thanks for your time.
And Yes, I demand an answer to this column.
Be my guest Moon. Make sure it is an anchored link if you don't mind.
Oh this is a hoot. ROFLMAO. Thank you for the tickle. As I cannot just comment, allow me to write a hub as a rebuke to your fallacy. I hope you don’t mind a link placed to this hub. This may take a few days. I will let you know when I have published.
This is the first hub page I have read of yours and I must say you have all the facts straight as few people understand. You've done your homework and your piece is well written.
I appreciate the comments ASU, Ruevera and interested.
I hate to hear that. They do seem like opportunists. Thanks for the update.
Interested and allshookup, you are right absolutely. I don’t know what to add more than I’ve already said on another hub-http://hubpages.com/hub/A-Case-for-Israel
The latest news I had from my relatives in Ashdod - at night it was raining in Israel and the skies were very clouded, so Israeli Army was not able to use their non-pilot jets to control the Gaza stripe. Hamas took advantage of this and was shedding bombs on Israeli towns all night through.
interested, I agree. I have been to the forum, where, of course, Israel is all wrong and poor Hamas should have help. Well, they have help, Egypt and Iran. Iran is bankrolling these terrorists. I don't blame Israel one bit. I wouldn't sit still either. Israel are the ones who kept their word and kept the peace. It is Hamas that started this. Israel is even taking the time to only fire where they know Hamas is. Hamas is firing anywhere and everywhere. It boggles my mind that people can't see what is going on and why they are supporting and feeling sorry for terrorists. Why do people who claim to be educated and well-traveled and have so much knowledge support Hamas and Iran? We must stand with Israel no matter how unpopular it is. It is only right that we do this. Palestinians are squaters on the land, Israel owns the land. Hamas knew what kind of arms Israel has, yet they chose this. So people should be citicizing the problem-makers, not the ones who were attacked.
Arabs are bombing a sovereign country. People, what are you talking about, whom to blame, that both sides are to blame....etc. Arabs are shedding bombs on a sovereign country. What any country would do? What Israel is supposed to do? They are not Christians to put another cheek, they should answer in a way that Arabs won't bomb them again. All the world is blaming Israel in Everything anyway, so what they have to lose? Israel! Just DO what you HAVE TO DO! World will appreciate it later, like in a case with Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1978.
No I haven't Londongirl. I do plan on going there one day.
Have you been to Israel, Sir D?
1.5 m people in Gaza are suffering a humanitarian crisis. Because of the blockade, there is no fuel to run the main power station. This in turn is causing back seepage of sewage into water systems, because the pumping station requires power. There is a shortage of food and of medicine. And as I have said before, there is fault on both sides, but it is not Israel that is suffering. Check the facts.
Allshookup is correct that the media hides things. In America the media never mentions Palestine except to talk about terrorism. Try getting your facts from the BBC and the Arab media too. Then weigh up reports from all sides.
I won't comment further here because you have already decided what you believe. This is a zionist hub with a painfully obvious agenda.
allshookup, thank you for your support of Israel. And I have the same opinion about UN as you do.
Well, my comment is that the UN is a waste of time and money. I've always been against it. They are just trouble. I think it should be disbanned. I don't know of anything they have done that is good or positive. I have seen them take credit for good things that they had no part in and say they did it and people blindly believe them for some odd reason. It's just evil and they have their own agenda. I don't feel that they back Israel at all. Which bothers me a whole lot. We must always stand with Israel!
allshookup, you are right, Mass Media is very hypocritical and brain-washing. It beats me why Israel doesn't make right PR, why people overseas don't have right every day information from Middle East region. I have foreign channels at home, on my satellite TV. I have Russian TV for my mother and Israel channel for myself. It's just shocking how information is distorted and facts are twisted for American listeners. Especially good in this is BBC. CNN is not much better. The only news source that gives more or less truthful coverage is FOX.
One more fact (I know it from my life in Israel. I'll try and find something on the web)- some time in 1960-s Israel suggested to install proper sewage system in Aza, for free, just to prevent littering of Mediterranean Sea shore. UN wouldn't allow this, as they considered it "aggression". Any comments?
this is not what I wanted to find, but also interesting thoughts-
http://hedgehogcentral.blogspot.com/2007/03/gaza-t
ReuVera, thanks for the info. I didn't know that. I feel like there's a whole lot we don't know. With the media the way it is, I can't imagine what all is hidden from us. Most of which I'm guessing is the truth.
Thank you Reuvera for pointing that out to everyone. It is something that I didn't know about. Maybe others know or will be glad to know.
What I know, Israel puts blockade on Aza not just because. Usually it happens after there is bombing of Israeli peaceful towns from Aza region. It's not a secret that Arabs land their military bombing equipment near living districts, schools, etc. When Israeli Army fires back to destroy those points from where bombs are shelled, they make loud (LOUD) announcements both in Hebrew and Arab languages, asking people to leave the houses. You didn't know about it? Well, Arabs will not tell you this.
Then, why Azans are almost completely dependent on Israel for fuel, electricity, medicine, food, and other essential commodities? Why they don't work for themselves? Israel gives them power, water, essentials for free. Anybody appreciates this? But when Israel closes borders as a contra action, Israel is called cruel.
I agree there is fault on both sides. I don't agree that Israel does those things simply because they can. If that was the case they would destroy all Arab people in Palestine. It is not a matter of Israel being the bully here.

SirDent,
I stumbled upon your page after reading James Watkins hub on the History of Israel. Thank you for the additional insight.
I am reminded of an article about the book "Marketing of Evil" I read many many years ago...it talked about how Americans were "sold" the idea of abortion as being a "choice." I'm not trying to start an abortion debate on your hub. I'm just saying that often times, the wizard behind the curtain uses propaganda and blatant lies to sell their idea. And often times, humans are so blinded by the lies, that even when the source of the lie admits the lie, the believers refuse to change their story...
And now you tell me the same is true for Palestine. Wow. What else? Apple Pie?!!
Thank you for taking the time to write this hub.
Blessings,
Leslie
