Countering Arab Propaganda Lies
- After the spread of Islam, Arabs began to live in Israel, but not too many. The greatest number of Arabs came to Israel between the World Wars, only after Jews began to revitalize the land and rid the swamps of malaria. For 1,812 years of occupation of the Jewish homeland (136 AD – 1948), Jews in Israel were called Palestinians, just as Palestine was the colonizer term for Israel during that same time period.
- Arabs living in Israel hated the moniker ‘Palestinian’ as it was closely associated with Jews. It was not until 1967 when the Soviet KGB stole the name, ‘Palestinian’ attempting to erase 1,812 years of Jewish history to unite Arabs in a politically antisemitic propaganda campaign. The goal of Operation SIG (1967 – 1988) was to paint Israel as a ‘Nazi state’ and an ‘occupier.’ Only by 1969, was that term widely used.
- The KGB knew that the Jews could not be beaten militarily; however, if an oppressed people were invented and used against Jews, then in the international court of opinion, the Arabs and more so, the Soviet Union could ‘win.’
- Those Arabs residing in Gaza are Gazans, who are primarily Egyptians with a smattering of other Arab countries represented within their population. In 1948, Egypt settled into Jewish Gaza (Jewish land since 145 BC and to this day, legally still belongs to Israel per Article 80 of the UN Charter), over 250,000 of their nationals and radicalized them. Joining the majority of these Egyptians were some former Israeli Arabs who fled to Gaza to help Arab armies kill Jews faster in the 1948 war. Additionally, some Saudis moved to Gaza, and the Africans in Gaza came as slaves of the Saudis and Egyptians in the 1950s and 1960s.
- One can easily decipher the origins of both current Israeli-Arabs, and those who erroneously antisemitically call themselves ‘Palestinian’ by their last names, as is illustrated here:
- Judea & Samaria presents a far more complex tapestry of Arab and so-called Arab populations. There are those Arabs who were illegally settled by Jordan during the 19-year occupation (1948 – 1967) of the ancestral heartland of Israel; many of whom today hold Jordanian passports. More hidden, though widely known to both Israeli officials and among ‘Arab’ families, is that there exist numerous Jewish clans who were forcibly converted to Islam; north of 30% of those who claim they are ‘Palestinian’ are actually Jews.
