-[http://www.israelinsider.com/views/articles/views_0297.htm]  It was never an [[Arab]] Country.

-Massive [[immigration]] by [[Arabs]] followed when the [[Zionists]] started to cultivate the deserted land, Arabs facing no restrictions [http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_mandate_overview.php] , such as the [[Jews]] faced from the [[British]] [http://www.palestinefacts.org/pf_mandate_oppose_immigration.php] [http://www.sullivan-county.com/id2/index5.htm] [http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=31194] Jobs provided by [[Jews]], by newly established [[Zionist]] industry and agriculture lured the [[Arab]] [[immigrants]] there [http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/747].
-The name "Falastin" that [[Arabs]] today use for "Palestine" is not an original [[Arabic]] name but the mere Arab pronunciation of the Greco-Roman "Palastina", no connection to any [[Arabs]]. [http://www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/meaning.html]
-Palestine is also often used by many [[Jihadi]] [[Islamofascists]] organizations around the world as one more excuse to their ultimately aim to conquer & dominate the world, establish their new all [[Islamic]] [[caliphate]] [http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=695137&contrassID=2&subContrassID=14&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y].

-The True Identity of the So-called [[Palestinians]]. The current myth is that these Arabs were long established in "Palestine", until the [[Jews]] came and "displaced" them. The fact is, that recent [[Arab]] [[immigration]] into the Land of [[Israel]] displaced the Jews. That the massive increase in [[Arab]] population was very recent is attested by the ruling of the United Nations: That any [[Arab]] who had lived in the Holy Land for two years and then left in 1948 qualifies as a "Palestinian refugee".

-What is Palestine? When the Romans conquered Judea, they renamed it Palestine. Since then, no occupying power ever made it an independent state or established a capital in Jerusalem. Under the Ottoman Empire, it was part of the province of Syria.

-[[Mark Twain]] in his book [[The Innocents Abroad]], 1867, wrote:
-There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent [valley of Jezreel] -- not for 30 miles in either direction. . . . One may ride 10 miles hereabouts and not see 10 human beings.
-For the sort of solitude to make one dreary, come to [[Galilee]]... [[Nazareth]] is forlorn... Jericho lies a moldering ruin... [[Bethlehem]] and Bethany, in their poverty and humiliation... untenanted by any living creature... A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds... a silent, mournful expanse... a desolation... We never saw a human being on the whole route... Hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost deserted the country... Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes... desolate and unlovely...
-The Arabs who now claim to be natives of the Holy Land have migrated to Palestine after 1918, from neighboring Arab countries, predominantly from areas now known as Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. None of these countries existed as nations prior to 1913. They were nothing but a disorganized collection of tribes

-There were no states or nationalities in the Middle East, certainly not among Sunni Muslims, until the Brits and French redrew the map after WWI. There never was, historically, any "Palestinian" Arab identity- and this area never had political sovereignty. After the Roman Empire, it was part of the Byzantine Empire. After the Islamic Conquest, it was part of, first, the Umayyad Empire; then the 'Abbasid Empire; then the Tulunid Empire; then it went briefly to the Byzantines, then the Saljuqs, then the Crusaders (the only time it was an independent political entity, by the way, between the end of Jewish sovereignty in the ancient world and the renewal of Jewish sovereignty in the modern one- the Kingdom of Jerusalem, not "Palestine"); Ayyubid Empire; Mamluke Empire; and, finally, the Ottoman Empire.
-At no time was there a country called "Palestine." Occasionally the geographic region the Romans had designated as "Palestine" was used as a geographic term in the medieval Arabic geographies, but it had no political meaning whatsoever. As has already been noted, under the Ottomans the area was divided among 3 different administrations- the Province of Beirut; the Province of Damascus; and the Sancak of Jerusalem (comprising roughly today's southern coastal plain and the hills of Judea).
