Palestinianism
The ideology, methods of Palestinianism
Palestinianism refers to a narrative and strategy that distorts history and facts to undermine Israel's legitimacy while portraying Palestinian Arab actors as perpetual victims, using civilians as pawns and gloating toward blood and pain and an almost unique animalistic behavior.
Key elements include:
- Historical Revisionism: Rewriting the historical record to erase the ancient Jewish connection to the land of Israel, despite overwhelming archaeological, biblical, and historical evidence. This includes denying the Jewish people's continuous presence in their ancestral homeland for over 3,000 years.
- Fabricating Native Status: Portraying descendants of Arab immigrants as "indigenous" to the land, ignoring the well-documented waves of Arab migration to the region in the 19th and 20th centuries, often spurred by economic opportunities created by Jewish development.
- False Victimhood Narrative: Casting aggressors as victims by blaming Israel for defensive actions taken in response to unprovoked violence. This inverts reality, ignoring the relentless attacks on Israeli civilians by terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, who explicitly call for Israel's destruction.
- Exploitation of Its Civilian Suffering: Employing a cynical "dead baby strategy," where groups like Hamas, PIJ deliberately embed military operations within civilian areas—using their own people as human shields—to maximize Palestinian casualties and blame Israel. This tactic, rooted in Arafat’s era, manipulates global opinion through tragic imagery.
- Propaganda Infiltration: Injecting anti-Israel rhetoric into unrelated causes, such as global social justice movements, to co-opt sympathy and vilify Israel, regardless of context or relevance.
- Pallywood Fabrication: Producing staged or exaggerated imagery—often dubbed "Pallywood"—to depict Israel as an aggressor. These fabrications, widely debunked, are designed to inflame emotions and mislead international audiences.
- Gloating at others' pain publicly - Celebrating Violence: Public displays of jubilation, such as dancing in the streets after terrorist attacks like 9/11 or celebrating murders of Israeli civilians, reveal a culture of glorifying violence against Jews and others, undermining claims of moral grievance.
Israel, as a multi-ethnic democratic nation defending itself against existential threats, faces an orchestrated campaign to delegitimize its right to exist. While Palestinianism exploits suffering to vilify Israel, the Jewish state strives to protect its citizens and uphold moral standards in the face of relentless aggression.

Columnist[2] summarizes:
"Above all, the dialectic of Palestinianism aims at stripping Jews of rights and falsely portraying them as criminal monsters and modern-day Nazis, while glorifying an Islamist movement whose sole purpose is Jewish genocide and destruction of the one Jewish state on the planet. And in order to accomplish this, they have, with the aid of a biased media, spread blood libels about the Jews committing “genocide[sic]” and their democratic nation being an “apartheid state[sic].”
Writer[3], columnist:
| “ | Palestine: The name “Palestine” for the country originated following the subjugation of the Jewish second revolt against the Romans in 135 C.E. when Emperor Hadrian attempted to quash any further military actions by the Jews but Jewish nationhood and statehood as well. While “Palaistine Syria” is found in Herodotus, it referred to the coastal plain from today’s Lebanon into the Sinai Desert, a region but not a defined country. It was known in ancient times as Judaea. The Romans called it by that name, including in their victory coins, “Ivdea Capta,” struck in 71 C.E. For Arabs, the area was Bilad Al-Sham; eventually, the Latin was transliterated as Filastin.
Palestinian territory: Palestine as a defined geo-political entity never existed in history. Between 1922 and 1948, however, the country existed as the Mandate for Palestine with the express purpose of reconstituting it as the historic Jewish national home. A newly created second entity, “between the Jordan [River] and the eastern boundary of Palestine as ultimately determined,” was separated from the historic region of Palestine and termed Transjordan. It was awarded to the Saudi Arabian Abdullah ibn Hussein. Palestinian national identity: The 1919 Arab Congress meeting in Jerusalem resolved: “We consider Palestine nothing but part of Arab Syria and it has never been separated from it at any stage. We are tied to it by national, religious, linguistic, moral, economic and geographic bounds. ... Our district Southern Syria or Palestine should be not separated from the Independent Arab Syrian Government.” The 1919 King-Crane Commission was petitioned by local Arabs to keep Palestine as part of Syria and recommended that “there would then [if making Palestine distinctly a Jewish commonwealth would be given up] be no reason why Palestine could not be included in a united Syrian State.” The idea of Palestine as Southern Syria continued all through the 1920s. Moreover, attempts to pinpoint the development of a Palestine identity flounder between 1834—when local Arabs rebelled against Ibrahim Pasha’s occupation—and 1908 when the first anti-Zionist journal was published by a Christian Arab resident of Jaffa. Throughout history, a people of self-consciousness exist and create a language, a national territory and a culture. For the so-called Palestinian people, all of this happened backwards. Palestinian history: Depending on your source, “Palestinians” are a very ancient people but their origin is influenced by an effort of nation-building and solidifying their presumed national consciousness. Saeb Erekat informed Tzipi Livni in February 2014: “I am 10,000 years old … the proud [Jericho] son of the Netufians and the Canaanites. I’ve been there for 5,500 years before Joshua Bin Nun came and burned my hometown.” Additional claims of origin include Canaanites, Phoenicians, Jebusites and others. What is undeniable is that the first mass presence of Arabs in Judea as a collective, rather than occasional traders, was in 638 C.E. when the Arab army conquered Jerusalem. Moreover, the term “Arab,” as found in early 800 BCE in Assyrian texts, referred only to inhabitants of the deserts of Arabia and not the Judea and Samaria hill country. All this is but an effort to assert a pre-Israelite existence in the Land of Israel. They are persons pretending to be a people, what is known as “Pretendians,” as was the Canadian woman who recently fraudulently claimed that her daughters were Inuit and was sentenced to three years in jail. Palestinian refugees: U.N. General Assembly Resolution 194 (III) of December 1948 does not refer to a “right of return.” The text states that “Palestine refugees,” both Arab and Jewish, “should be permitted” to return to their homes at the “earliest practicable date” and this recommendation applies only to those “wishing to ... live at peace with their neighbors.” At that time, the number of refugees was approximated at 500,000 as per resolution 212 (III) of November 19 and not 5.9 million as is claimed at present. Moreover, they were “Palestine refugees” and not “Palestinian refugees.” Incidentally, the six Arab League countries then represented at the United Nations voted against the resolution. In 1952, the United Nations defined refugees as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948.” So, only two years of residency is required to prove a national identity? Many tens of thousands of Arabs from surrounding countries had immigrated to British Mandatory Palestine during World War II due to the economic advantages, yet they still became “Palestine refugees.” U.N. Security Council Resolution 242 of 1967 does not mention “Palestine” or “Palestinians,” only a “refugee problem.” It was only in 1969 that the United Nations adopted language such as the “inalienable rights of the people of Palestine” as well as the “Palestine Arab refugees.” The contemporary Palestinian national movement thrives due to its unquestionable ability to mobilize and enthuse the masses. Those who rally have been affected by an ideological reorientation furthered by academics predicated on a neo-Marxist paradigm. Their spurious claims are hollow and a campaign to take back the narrative is urgent. |
