ARABS ARE THE ONES ENCROACHING ON ‘THE LAND OF THE JEWS’ AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND

What one notices all over the Media… is that some pro-Arab reporters are bent at manipulating facts, are also trying their best with a premeditated intent to entice the readers to some revisionist historical data.

One of the myths connected to the Arab Israeli conflict, is that Israel and the whole of "Mandatory Palestine" before it, was stolen from the Arabs as a result of "Imperialist Machinations," and was settled by Alien Jews...

When one reads, contentious statements, i.e. quote: "Israel sits on the Arab land of Palestine, inhabited mostly by émigré Jews who had never set a foot in Palestine." Unquote… The reader is under the impression that such an assertion is accurate in every aspect, and, has received blessings and approbation from the enlightened communities of the world.

Nothing is further from the truth… Jews are not Aliens to their Land, (The Land of Israel from Time Immemorial)…! History proves that, Archeology proves that! "Jesus the Jewish prophet" (accepted as such by the Muslim religion), was born there whilst Judea and Israel (two Jewish Kingdoms) were under the yoke of the Roman Empire.

The Arab speaks Arabic the foreign Language of the Arabian Peninsula... [Arab = Arabia] does it ring any bells? The Arab practice Islam the Religion of Mohammed... which started with Mohammed in Mecca and Medina (Arabia) in the Seventh Century AD... does it ring any bells? Arabia is now called Saudi Arabia on the name of the Dynasty of Ibn-Saud from the Nejd (Central Arabia)... doesn't it ring LOUD & CLEAR! The Arabs before Islam… were nomads and polytheists, isn't this a fact?

The Jews claim Israel through History and Archeology! A proof… that even the Americans cannot subscribe to in their own realm... On the other hand, the Arabs claim to Palestine is TENUOUS/FLIMSY/ WEAK at best, has no substantiation whatsoever in Archeology to back and sustain its claims… The only vestige that would substantiate their respective passage through it… is a Mosque on the holiest site of Judaism.

Here are some statistics (AD=Anno Domini = CE=Common Era -- BCE= Before Common Era)
