Question

How much do konw about palastine?

Answer 1

It's existence is documented as far back as 500 BC by Herodotus,the Greek historian,but all the ancient historians familiar with the region refer to it. There are no references to jews still less to any jewish kingdoms. Palestine is currently under hostile occupation by European "jews" i.e. ashkenazi from Russia,atheists mostly.

Answer 2

Not much, except the fact that it was stolen in 1948 and the land theft continues.

Answer 3

I know that present day Israel was pre-WWII Palestine.

Answer 4

Hi linah,

I know that there was never a country named "palestine", but rather a region that was ruled by various empires.

Sincerely,

Ms. Miche ; })

Answer 5

I know least about Palestine but everyone knew that each day Palestinian are killed(and counting) by the Jews.

Answer 6

Lots.

First, the Jews in Israel took no one's land.  When Mark Twain visited the Holy Land in the 19th century, he was greatly disappointed.  He didn't see any people.  He referred to it as a vast wasteland.  The land we now know as Israel was practically deserted.  

This is very important to understand.  Because one of the biggest demands of so-called Arab "Palestinians" today is the "right of return." They contend that millions and millions of Arabs must be permitted to settle in Israel with full voting rights.  Most of these people have never set foot in Israel before.  Many of their parents never set foot in Israel before.  A few had lived in the area in 1948 or 1967 and fled at the instructions of Arab invaders who pledged to "liberate" the land and annihilate the Jews.  

But it is important to understand these are not refugees in the usual sense of the word.  Instead, they are political pawns, exploited by Arab leaders who use the refugee issue to empower and enrich themselves.  It is a fraud, however, to say that these Arab Palestinians had lived in the region "from time immemorial," as the propagandists say.  When "Palestine" was under the control of Muslims - right up through World War I - Arabs and Muslims showed little interest in the land, including Jerusalem.  

A travel guide to Palestine and Syria, published in 1906 by Karl Baedeker, illustrates the fact that, even when the Islamic Ottoman Empire ruled the region, the Muslim population in Jerusalem was minimal.  The book estimates the total population of the city at 60,000, of whom 7,000 were Muslims, 13,000 were Christians and 40,000 were Jews.  "The number of Jews has greatly risen in the last few decades, in spite of the fact that they are forbidden to immigrate or to possess landed property," the book states.  

Even though the Jews were persecuted, still they came to Jerusalem and represented the overwhelming majority of the population as early as 1906.  And even though Muslims today claim Jerusalem as the third holiest site in Islam, when the city was under Islamic rule, they had little interest in it.  As the Jews came, drained the swamps and made the deserts bloom, something interesting began to happen.  Arabs followed.  I don't blame them.  They had good reason to come.  They came for jobs.  They came for prosperity.  They came for freedom.  And they came in large numbers.  

Winston Churchill observed in 1939: "So far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country and multiplied till their population has increased more than even all world Jewry could lift up the Jewish population." This is the modern real history of the Arab-Israeli conflict.  At no time did the Jews uproot Arab families from their homes.  When there were title deeds to be purchased, they bought them at inflated prices.  When there were not, they worked the land so they could have a place to live without the persecution they faced throughout the world.  

It's a great big lie that the Israelis displaced anyone - one of a series of lies and myths that have the world on the verge of committing yet another great injustice to the Jews

But there's more to this story.  It illustrates why non-Jews were not interested in the Holy Land until the Jews returned.  

It's something I learned from a rabbi in Brooklyn by the name of Menachem Kohen, author of a book called "Prophecies for the Era of Muslim Terror." Do you know why the Holy Land became a wasteland during the 1,800-year dispersion of the Jews that lasted until they returned in significant numbers beginning in the early 20th century?

Rabbi Kohen points out the land suffered an unprecedented, severe and inexplicable (by anything other than supernatural explanations) drought that lasted from the first century until the 20th - a period of 1,800 years coinciding with the forced dispersion of the Jews.  

Kohen sees this as a miraculous fulfillment of prophecy found in the book of Deuteronomy - especially chapter 28:23-24.  "And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.  "The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed."

The climate in Israel dramatically changed during this 1,800-period - way before Al Gore discovered "global warming" or invented the Internet.  Before the Jews entered Canaan, it was described in the Bible as a land flowing with milk and honey.  If you read what Israel's climate and natural landscape was like from the time Joshua crossed the Jordan right up until the time of Jesus, it sounds like a heavily forested land.  There were amazing crops raised by the people who inhabited the land when the Jews arrived.  Sometimes I've wondered what happened to Israel to turn it into the dusty, arid land it was when the Jews came back in the 20th century.  Until I read that prophecy in Deuteronomy, brought to my attention by Rabbi Kohen, I had no clue.  For 1,800 years, it hardly ever rained in Israel.  This was the barren land discovered by Mark Twain.  So-called "Palestine" was a wasteland - nobody lived there.  There was no indigenous Arab population to speak of.  It only came after the Jews came back.  

Beginning in AD 70 and lasting until the early 1900s - about 660,000 days - no rain.  I decided to check this out as best I could and examined the rainfall data for 150 years in Israel beginning in the early 1800s and leading up to the 1960s.  

What I found was astonishing - increasing rainfall almost every single year - with the heaviest rainfall coming in and around 1948 and 1967.  Is this just a coincidence?

I'll be quite honest with you: I don't think so.  

Nor do I think Israel can continue today to make bad stewardship decisions regarding the land bequeathed the Jews by God without consequences - serious consequences.  

So, if I were prime minister of Israel - even just for one day - I'd start out giving the world a little history lesson.  Maybe people would listen.  Maybe they wouldn't.  But it must be said.  And if Israel won't tell that story, who will?

Answer 7

It is a piece of waste land improved beyond recognition by the Israelis. Now the arabs want it. Muslims around the world support the Palestinians not because they have a good case but because they are muslims.

Answer 8

I know that today it is occupied and many people have been killed in the last 60 years of its occupation. Peace!

Answer 9

LOL @ 'Palestine was the most sophisticated country in the region'

It was a desolate, desert wasteland. Any and all improvements have been made by Zionists. (Gasp! The notion.)

Answer 10

its an old country tried to be taken by the crusades awhile back and now its being taken over by the jews. and the jews are now forcing the people out of there homes who have lived there all there lives and shooting them in front of there family.

Answer 11

Palestine was the name of an area under control of the British mandate, which previously had been a province of the ottoman empire.

Nowadays, Palestine is a term used by some people to call what they would like to be an Arab country in the same area.

Answer 12

:::spreads arms:::

This much.

Answer 13

not much is known about palestine, because there is no country named palestine.The term "Palestine" is believed to be derived from the Philistines, an Aegean people who, in the 12th Century B.C.E., settled along the Mediterranean coastal plain of what are now Israel and the Gaza Strip. In the second century C.E., after crushing the last Jewish revolt, the Romans first applied the name Palaestina to Judea (the southern portion of what is now called the West Bank) in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel. The Arabic word "Filastin" is derived from this Latin name.

The Hebrews entered the Land of Israel about 1300 B.C.E., living under a tribal confederation until being united under the first monarch, King Saul. The second king, David, established Jerusalem as the capital around 1000 B.C.E. David's son, Solomon built the Temple soon thereafter and consolidated the military, administrative and religious functions of the kingdom. The nation was divided under Solomon's son, with the northern kingdom (Israel) lasting until 722 B.C.E., when the Assyrians destroyed it, and the southern kingdom (Judah) surviving until the Babylonian conquest in 586 B.C.E. The Jewish people enjoyed brief periods of sovereignty afterward before most Jews were finally driven from their homeland in 135 C.E.

Jewish independence in the Land of Israel lasted for more than 400 years. This is much longer than Americans have enjoyed independence in what has become known as the United States.4 In fact, if not for foreign conquerors, Israel would be 3,000 years old today.

Palestine was never an exclusively Arab country, although Arabic gradually became the language of most the population after the Muslim invasions of the seventh century. No independent Arab or Palestinian state ever existed in Palestine. When the distinguished Arab-American historian, Princeton University Prof. Philip Hitti, testified against partition before the Anglo-American Committee in 1946, he said: "There is no such thing as 'Palestine' in history, absolutely not.

Prior to partition, Palestinian Arabs did not view themselves as having a separate identity. When the First Congress of Muslim-Christian Associations met in Jerusalem in February 1919 to choose Palestinian representatives for the Paris Peace Conference, the following resolution was adopted:

We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic and geographical bonds

In 1937, a local Arab leader, Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, told the Peel Commission, which ultimately suggested the partition of Palestine: "There is no such country [as Palestine]! 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria.

The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations submitted a statement to the General Assembly in May 1947 that said "Palestine was part of the Province of Syria" and that, "politically, the Arabs of Palestine were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity." A few years later, Ahmed Shuqeiri, later the chairman of the PLO, told the Security Council: "It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria.

Palestinian Arab nationalism is largely a post-World War I phenomenon that did not become a significant political movement until after the 1967 Six-Day War and Israel's capture of the West Bank.

Answer 14

I know Palestine was the most sophisticated country in the region. and that the Zionist are to be blamed for the division among the Arabs through out the middle east. they also kill an average 4 Arabs a day.

Answer 15

I know a great deal,but the general thrust of responses indicate a preoccupation with early history,as in "there was never a country called Palestine" or "it was a name the Romans gave the region",all very stale zionist propaganda lines and very boring. The earliest source on the region is the historian Herodotus and in his "Histories" there are ample references to Palestine and what he calls Palestine-Syria. What is now Syria,Lebanon and Palestine - I am referring to it in modern terms,namely the borders of Mandate Palestine,or it's borders until 1948 - consisted of Syria,Phoenicia,and Palestine. He wrote around 500 B.C. Strangely,there is in this voluminous work not one single reference to jews,hebrews,israel or any King david. It is  large and comprehensive study by a man who had traveled the region extensively. We may thus reasonably presume their biblical "history" to be a shabby fiction. Palestine is a very,very ancient state.

Answer 16

There is no Palestine today, the boundaries of Palestine were those decided by the British Mandate excluding the Transjordan.

Not one piece of clay or one piece of stone was ever found in Israel bearing the word Palestine.

Answer 17

I've studied so much about palestine I learned it doesn't exist!

One would think that all that studying I would have learned a distinct culture, tradition, language, etc. but the only thing I see representative is terrorism.

"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." -- PLO Executive Committee member Zuhayr Muhsin, March 31, 1977, interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw."

Answer 18

First of all u should ask: "How much do you know about Palestine?". Please check your grammar.

All i know that is the region in southwest asia - the levant - region between Mediterranean Sea and Jordan River.

As a geographical, apolitical term, in its broadest application, Palestine can be used to refer to 'ancient Palestine', an area that includes contemporary Israel and the Palestinian territories, as well as part of Jordan, and some of both Lebanon and Syria. In classical or contemporary terms, it can be used to refer to the area within the boundaries of what was once British Mandate Palestine (1920-1948),[2] an area which included the Transjordan until the establishment of the Kingdom of Jordan in 1921.

Many Israelis, Jews and Christian Zionists use the term Land of Israel, in Hebrew, ארץ־ישראל, Eretz Yisrael and to refer to the same geographic region, both narrowly or broadly defined. Additional terms used to refer to same area include Canaan and the Holy Land.

Within the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the term Palestine takes on a more political connotation, the boundaries and terminology of which are subject to deep dispute. To the Palestinian people, the boundaries of Palestine are those of the British Mandate excluding the Transjordan, as described in the Palestinian National Charter. Israel was established in three-quarters of this territory by the end of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, and remaining quarter, comprising the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, were occupied by Egypt and by Jordan, and later conquered by Israel during the 1967 war.

Today, Palestine can also be used to refer to the State of Palestine which enjoys diplomatic recognition from over 100 countries in the world, though its boundaries have yet to be determined, it has yet to secure full autonomy, and therefore deviates from the usual criteria governing the classic definition of a state.
