Early History of the Region Before the Hebrews first migrated there around 1800 B.C., the land of Canaan was occupied by Canaanites. "Between 3000 and 1100 B.C., Canaanite civilization covered what is today Israel, the West Bank, Lebanon and much of Syria and Jordan...Those who remained in the Jerusalem hills after the Romans expelled the Jews [in the second century A.D.] were a potpourri: farmers and vineyard growers, pagans and converts to Christianity, descendants of the Arabs, Persians, Samaritans, Greeks and old Canaanite tribes." Marcia Kunstel and Joseph Albright, "Their Promised Land." The present-day Palestinians' ancestral heritage "But all these [different peoples who had come to Canaan] were additions, sprigs grafted onto the parent tree...And that parent tree was Canaanite...[The Arab invaders of the 7th century A.D.] made Moslem converts of the natives, settled down as residents, and intermarried with them, with the result that all are now so completely Arabized that we cannot tell where the Canaanites leave off and the Arabs begin." Illene Beatty, "Arab and Jew in the Land of Canaan."

83. Rothschilds And Palestine, History And The Bible Are Two Different Things - Davi Rothschilds and palestine, history and the Bible are two different things. By Tony O Clery. (First of all let me rebutt last months http://www.davidicke.net/emagazine/vol18/articles/roth-palestine.html

Rothschilds and Palestine, History and the Bible are two different things. By Tony O'Clery (First of all let me rebutt last months pro-Sai Baba misinformation article. The pianist she is talking about is non other than David Bailey the great exposer of Sai Baba who produced 'The Finding', on vol 12 e-mag. He says his ring was valued by a friend of Sai Baba's. However when visiting a jeweller, in the West, they said it was a stone with silver paper underneath, to make it glisten. Enough said about that article last month, although I was thankful for the evidence that the great Illuminati Baron Rothchilds visited Sai Baba, at least once.) The Article: Now on with this months article about the settlement of Palestine and the rather spurious claims to it by the Israelis. Mostly Zionist financed by the Rothchilds, to buy land for Jews. Nobody said anything about a State, even the British Balfour Declaration of 1916, talked of only a home. The Claim is based on a Jewish existence based on the Bible. There is no evidence for the existence of Solomon or David except in the Bible. (Chaim Romanescu of Tel Aviv University) The Temple Mount could not have been built by Solomon because it was built 400 years prior to the claimed time of his existence 1,000 B.C. The description in the Bible fits the Palace/Temple of Amenhotep III at Thebes in Egypt! Right down to the mosaics on the floor, described by the Queen of Sheba/Saba. The Temple Mount was probably built by Egyptian Tothmosis III, in or about 1468 B.C. The word David in Hebrew is written DWD which means Toth in Egyptian. He was the conqueror of Palestine and David is probably loosely based on this character.

A Brief History of Palestine A brief history The total population of Palestine was 500,000 of whom 47,000 were Jews who owned 0.5% of the land. Following the appearance of anti-Semitism in Europe, Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism tried to find a political solution for the problem in his book, 'The Jewish State'. He advocated the creation of a Jewish state in Argentina or Palestine. The first Zionist Congress was held in Switzerland, which issued the Basle programme on the colonization of Palestine and the establishment of the World Zionist Organization (WZO). Fourth Zionist Congress decided to establish a national home for Jews in Argentina. The Zionist congress decided the Jewish homeland should be Palestine. With the outbreak of World War I, Britain promised the independence of Arab lands under Ottoman rule, including Palestine, in return for Arab support against Turkey which had entered the war on the side of Germany. Britain and France signed the Sykes-Picot Agreement, which divided the Arab region into zones of influence. Lebanon and Syria were assigned to France, Jordan and Iraq to Britain and Palestine was to be internationalized. Lord Balfour, the British Foreign Secretary sent a letter to the Zionist leader Lord Rothschild which later became known as "The Balfour declaration". He stated that Britain would use its best endeavors to facilitate the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people. At that time the population of Palestine was 700,000 of which 574,000 were Muslims, 74,000 were Christian, and 56,000 were Jews.

Palestine, Israel and the Arab-Israeli Conflict A Primer Back to Table of Contents The British Mandate in Palestine Britain made other promises during the war that conflicted with the Husayn-McMahon understandings. But Britain made other promises during the war that conflicted with the Husayn-McMahon understandings. In 1917, the British Foreign Minister, Lord Arthur Balfour, issued a declaration (the Balfour Declaration) announcing his government's support for the establishment of "a Jewish national home in Palestine." A third promise, in the form of a secret agreement, was a deal that Britain and France struck between themselves to carve up the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire and divide control of the region. After the war, Britain and France convinced the new League of Nations (precursor to the United Nations), in which they were the dominant powers, to grant them quasi-colonial authority over former Ottoman territories. The British and French regimes were known as mandates. France obtained a mandate over Syria, carving out Lebanon as a separate state with a (slight) Christian majority. Britain obtained a mandate over the areas which now comprise Israel, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Jordan. In 1921, the British divided this region in two: east of the Jordan River became the Emirate of Transjordan, to be ruled by Faysal's brother 'Abdullah, and west of the Jordan River became the Palestine Mandate. This was the first time in modern history that Palestine became a unified political entity.

A TIME TO SPEAK VOLUME I:1 (No. 2) February 2001 - Shevat 5761 THE HISTORY AND MEANING OF "PALESTINE" AND "PALESTINIAN" "There is no such thing as a Palestinian Arab nation . . . Palestine is a name the Romans gave to Eretz Yisrael with the express purpose of infuriating the Jews . . . Why should we use the spiteful name meant to humiliate us? "The British chose to call the land they mandated Palestine, and the Arabs picked it up as their nation's supposed ancient name, though they couldn't even pronounce it correctly and turned it into Falastin a fictional entity." Golda Meir "From the end of the Jewish state in antiquity to the beginning of British rule, the area now designated by the name Palestine was not a country and had no frontiers, only administrative boundaries . . . Professor Bernard Lewis Princeton University "Palestine has never existed . . . as an autonomous entity. There is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. "Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of one percent of the land mass. But that's too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today . . .

Israel Science and Technology Homepage Home Search About Contact Subject Menu Current News Arab-Israeli conflict Articles History of Israel ... Satellite images What is Palestine and Palestinians? In recent history the area called Palestine includes the territories of present day Israel and Jordan (see map above. For earlier history of the term see article ). From 1517 to 1917 most of this area remained under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Empire was dissolved at the end of World War I. Its successor, modern republic of Turkey, transferred Palestine to British Empire control under the Lausanne agreement that followed WW I. In 1917 Great Britain issued the Balfour Declaration for "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people". In 1922 Britain allocated nearly 80% of Palestine to Transjordan. Thus, Jordan covers the majority of the land of Palestine under British Mandate. Jordan also includes the majority of the Arabs who lived there. In other words, Jordan is the Arab portion of Palestine. The residents of Palestine are called "Palestinians". Since Palestine includes both modern day Israel and Jordan both Arab and Jewish residents of this area were referred to as "Palestinians".

A BRIEF HISTORY OF PALESTINE What Was Palestine? As a geographic territory, what is generally thought of today as "Palestine," has had many names from the earliest times to the present. The ancient Egyptian name for the region was Kharu in the south and Retenu in the north. Prior to its conquest by the Israelite Hebrews under Joshua, it was known as the "Land of Canaan," and afterwards it received the name Eretz Yisrael , or "land of Israel" ( I Samuel 13:19 ). As recorded in Ezechiel (26:20) , Palestine was also referred to as Eretz Chayim in Hebrew, - land of the living. However, the land east of the Jordan river was named separately as Ever ha'Yardan - "the other side of Jordan." During the divided kingdom period after the death of King Solomon (10th to 6th century B.C.E.) the Northern and Southern Kingdoms were known as "Israel" (also Samaria) and "Judah" respectively. In the Northern Kingdom, the tribe of Ephraim was the largest, and for this reason, the Northern Kingdom was often called "Ephraim.". The Asserian king Adadnirari IV spoke of the "land of Omri" in referring to the Kingdom of Israel. During the Hellenistic period from the 4th to the 2nd century B.C.E., Judah was referred to as Judea, the name retained in its use by both the New Testament and Roman authorities. However, the name "Palestine" was officially introduced in the period after 138 C.E., three years after the suppression of the Bar Kochba revolt. It was originally used as an adjective

History The UNCTAD secretariat's work on the economy of the occupied Palestinian territory began in 1979, when Conference resolution 109 (V) requested UNCTAD to initiate studies for the benefit of the Palestinian people in collaboration with the Palestine Liberation Organization( That work was intensified in 1985 with the establishment of a Special Economic Unit (Palestinian people) within the secretariat, in accordance with Conference resolution 146 (VI) of 1983, to monitor and investigate policies that hampered the development of the Palestinian economy. This mandate was upheld by UNCTAD VIII in 1992 and endorsed by the General Assembly in its decision , requesting UNCTAD to "sustain its programme for the Palestinian people in its current form in close cooperation with the Palestine Liberation Organization". Within the new context created by the Israeli-Palestinian accords since 1993, the UN Medium Term Plan for the Period 1998-2001 called upon UNCTAD to continue its programme of assistance to the Palestinian people in accordance with its mandate(

Back to Modern History SourceBook Modern History Sourcebook: League of Nations: The Mandate for Palestine, July 24, 1922 The mandates for Mesopotamia, Syria and Palestine were assigned by the Supreme Court of the League of Nations at its San Remo meeting in April 1920. Negotiations between Great Britain and the United States with regard to the Palestine mandate were successfully concluded in May 1922, and approved by the Council of the League of Nations in July 1922. The mandates for Palestine and Syria came into force simultaneously on September 29, 1922. In this document, the League of Nations recognized the "historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine" and the "grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country." The Council of the League of Nations Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have agreed, for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, to entrust to a Mandatory selected by the said Powers the administration of the territory of Palestine, which formerly belonged to the Turkish Empire, within such boundaries as may be fixed by them; and Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country ; and

FROM THE ARCHIVES - A BRIEF HISTORY OF RADIO IN THE COUNTRY Throughout the history of the country, radio has been the conveyor of important information at critical moments. Virtually the whole population was glued to radio sets at events such as the news of the United Nations vote on the partition of Palestine in 1947. In times of national emergency radio was, and still is, used to call up troops. In the pre-state period, all sides in the conflict used radio to disseminate information, deliberate mis-information and propaganda. The Jews effectively used clandestine radio, and today though pirate radio is against the law some people still retain a sentimental feeling towards a medium that was so important in the formation of the nation. With radio so prominent in the collective memory it has a special place in people's affections as so often it was used in order to follow important events affecting their lives, and still when the hourly news comes on the radio people stop whatever they are doing whether in shops, on buses (all fitted with radios) or in the street. Before TV and a multiplicity of radio stations came along, at night in any town or city street the voice of the Kol Israel radio news announcer could be heard emanating from every window around. It was in about 1930 that radio antennas could first be seen on homes in Palestine and sets went on sale in city stores. At first the only stations to be heard were distant ones, by short-wave from Europe such as Radio Paris and BBC Empire Service, and medium wave from Cairo. Then in 1932 with 675 licensed sets local radio came to the country and here is a brief chronology of its radio history.

In its ancient history, Palestine witnessed models of leadership by many prophets and their subsequent command over their people. These prophets waged violent struggles for the sake of fixing the banner of truth on this holy land. Jerusalem city Before plunging into details, it is important to keep in mind the fact that Muslims do believe in all prophets, that Muslims consider the heritage of all prophets as their own, that Muslims consider their Islamic creed as an extension of the creed of the prophets prior to the coming of Islam and that the creed for which all prophets previous to Mohammed had called for is the same creed for which prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him) had called. Consequently, the stockpile of experience by all of the prophets in their call for truth and God worshipping is not separate or different from the Muslims' call and their stockpile of experience.

A view from Copenhagen: Israel and the History of Palestine Author maintains that the assaults on the integrity of his scholarship has been without evidence or critical judgment. Home Breaking News Older News News Archives ... Support By Thomas L. Thompson Professor of Old Testament, University of Copenhagen The Bible in History: How Writers Create A Past, entered what had already been a quarter-century long debate, one which William Dalrymple could accurately describe as an "enjoyably ill-tempered exchange between fiercely hostile academic enemies." Archaeology and theology have never been among the academy's kindest fields of study. Nevertheless, the extraordinary criticism that my new book and the works of scholars who have expressed a similar perspective, have received, has been so ferocious that I fear discussions on the history of Israel, have moved well beyond the "intemperate" debates that Dalrymple had anticipated. Slander and libel have displaced the academic interests of history and theology with a purpose that is far from innocent and unreflective. This unhappy conclusion was forced on me as I read a review of my book published on December 24th, 1999 in The Jerusalem Post by Magen Broshi, the former director of the Israel Department of Antiquities. As I had expected, the review was negative. However, the very last statement of the review caught my attention: "Is it possible he does not believe in anything? Apparently there is a certain book that he does take seriously. A mutual acquaintance told me that Thompson confided in him that he is a staunch believer in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." This open and unabashed accusation still takes my breath away. I do realize that it follows well-established rules of propaganda: The more outrageous the lie the better and, if repeated often enough, it becomes fact. The irony of such a writer creating a past is not lost on me.
