The Greatest Lie Ever Told

The Greatest Lie Ever Told

Today, many young people believe that “Palestine” was a country that belonged to Arab Muslims. Most of the media supports that claim. They think that the Jews came from Europe in 1948 and occupied or stole their land.

That –, of course is a lie. Universities, influenced by Qatari money and liberal antisemitic professors are brainwashing the youth to believe this lie.

They do not know or believe the true history.

The Hebrew Bible offers a narrative of Israel’s origin. According to the text, Israel’s origins can be traced back to Abraham, the father of Judaism (through his son Isaac). Abraham’s descendants were enslaved by the Egyptians for hundreds of years before settling in Canaan, which is approximately the region of modern-day Israel. The land was explicitly promised to Abraham and his descendants in (Genesis 15:18-21): “On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, ‘To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.'” This promise is reiterated to Isaac (Genesis 26:3) and Jacob (Genesis 28:13-15).

The word Israel comes from Abraham’s grandson, Jacob, who was renamed “Israel” by the Hebrew God in the Bible. Through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob came the Twelve Tribes of Israel (Judah, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan …) and they inhabited the land God gave them.

The biblical history of Israel is dramatic. After the glorious Davidic Kingdom around 1,000 BC the tribes of Israel gradually fell away from their God and because of their disobedience the land came under different rulers. For 2000 years, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and Romans ruled over the region.

After the crucifixion of Jesus, the Jews rebelled against the Romans in the Bar Kokhba Revolt. Subsequently, the Roman emperor Hadrian destroyed Jerusalem and murdered about a million Jews. He burned down the Temple and changed the name of Israel into “Syria Palestina” to insult the Jews and disconnect them from the land.

Later the Ottoman Turks ruled over the region before the British called it “the mandate of Palestine”. Thirty years later they issued the Balfour declaration to establish a Jewish state in „Syria Palestina”.

Even though many Jews were dispersed from the land for years, there has always been a remnant of Jews-living in the land. Finally, after 2000 years, after Jews were massacred in Europe, with God’s help, the Jews were able to return to their homeland. In 1948, Israel became a State in the Promised Land.

Recently I listened to a U-tuber, showing the Palestinian section of Hebron and lamenting how the poor Arabs had to suffer under the Israeli occupation. She didn’t bother to visit the cave of the Patriarchs, where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are buried.When I reminded her that Hebron was the capital of Israel prior to Jerusalem becoming the eternal capital, and that during the first seven years of his reign, King David ruled from Hebron, she replied: “That was a long time ago.”

I told her, that for years, the small community of 800 Jews in the ancient city of Hebron lived in peace with their Arab neighbors. But, on the night of August 23, 1929, Hebron turned into a city of terror and murder as the Arab residents led a rampaging massacre against the bewildered and helpless Jewish community. By the time the massacre ended, 67 Jews lay dead – their homes and synagogues destroyed – and a few hundred survivors were relocated to Jerusalem. The aftermath left Hebron barren of Jews for the first time in hundreds of years.

How could this happen if there were no Jews living in Israel before 1948? No answer. Her Arab friends didn’t tell her about that.

But as if that were not enough, to this day, the antisemites have not left the Jews alone. They want to murder them in their own land and kill them around the world.

The “Palestine and Palestinian” movement is nothing but a fraud and distortion of hand. It is a weapon and excuse by the same antisemites to murder innocent Jews. According to Palestinian historian Muhammad Y. Muslih, during the entire 400-year period of Ottoman rule (1517-1918), before the British set up the 30-year-long Palestine Mandate, “There was no political unit known as Palestine.” The deliberate creation of the “Palestinian people” as a discrete entity in 1967, and the political group known as the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1964 was for the sole purpose of destroying a sovereign and legally mandated Jewish state. Historically, the Palestinian “desire for statehood” and “need for liberation” was invented in large part by the Soviet Union. It is no coincidence that the blueprint for the PLO Charter was drafted in Moscow in 1964.  – Palestinians are an invented people.
