Where is "Palestine?"

"Palestine" was part of the lost continent of Atlantis, and Palestinians are direct descendants of Homo Erectus.

As ridiculous as this sounds, it pales in comparison to the fairy tales and lies that are at the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict (which, in 1967, morphed into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict). The idea that European Jews invaded a country called "Palestine," displaced millions of Palestinians who had lived there for millenia and forced them to live in refugee camps, began an "illegal occupation" of "Palestinians," which included torturing, brutalizing, and murdering innocent civilians, building illegal settlements on their land, and causing all sorts of misery for the rest of the Arab world, is at the core of the second-most pernicious, despicable, and evil plot ever perpetrated against the Jewish people. The worst, of course, is the Holocaust, but the same, twisted logic that led to it is "alive and well" in the mindset of the Arab world.

There has never been a state or country called, "Palestine." "Palestinians" are no different than any other Arab. Before 1948, the only people called, "Palestinians" were Jews -- the others were called "Arab."

After Britain defeated the Ottomans in 1917, they subsequently divided the former Empire into independent Arab states, all except for the land east and west of the Jordan River That land was given the informal title of "Mandated Palestine" because both Britain and the League of Nations were mandated to set aside this land as the permanent "Jewish National Homeland." The US also supported this mandate. Were it not for WWII, and some British double-dealing, the Jewish National Homeland would have replaced all of “Mandated Palestine,” instead of only a tiny strip of along the coastline that the Arabs claim is theirs as well.

In 1922, after the British disregarded their own Mandate and gave 75 percent of it Jordan, Jordan subsequently granted full citizenship to all Palestinian Arabs living on both side of the Jordan river, while denying Jews even the right to visit. Given that over 70 percent of its population consists of Palestinian Arabs, Jordan became the de jure Palestinian state, and Arabs have no right to demand yet another Palestinian state.

This push for Palestinian statehood is a political invention of the PLO, and was begun in 1967 after the Six-Day War. By their leaders' very own words, it is nothing more than a straw man that Arabs are using as a political way to eliminate Israel.

Between 1921 and 1948, the British restricted Jewish immigration into what was left of Palestine to only a trickle while simultaneously allowing the unrestricted (and unreported) migration of hundreds of thousands of Arabs into and around existing Jewish settlements.

What’s worse is the Arab’s so-called, “Right of Return” whereby any Arab claiming to have lived in Israel only two years before the 1948 War is considered to be "an indigenous resident of the land for generations." Furthermore, this “Right” is also extended to every member of their family regardless of where or when they were born.

There is no "Right of return" mentioned anywhere in any of the UN resolutions regarding Israel and Palestinians. It is, and has always been, a problem created by the Arab states that attacked Israel, and one perpetuated by the same Arab states who wish to use the "refugee problem" as a way to destroy Israel.

There is a well-established and well-organized conspiracy among Arabs and Jewish-hating leftists to replace all of Israel with an Arab state by whatever means possible, and that is what I call, "The Palestine Plot"
