"As the Arabs see the Jews"
His Majesty King Abdullah,
The American Magazine*
November, 1947

Here is an extract - but read the full article at the link above and note particularly how he concludes!



Such fragmentary records as we have indicate that the Jews were wandering nomads from Iraq who moved to southern Turkey, came south to Palestine, stayed there a short time, and then passed to Egypt, where they remained about 400 years. About 1300 BC (according to your calendar) they left Egypt and gradually conquered most-but not all-of the inhabitants of Palestine.

It is significant that the Philistines-not the Jews-gave their name to the country: "Palestine" is merely the Greek form of "Philistia."

Only once, during the empire of David and Solomon, did the Jews ever control nearly-but not all-the land which is today Palestine. This empire lasted only 70 years, ending in 926 BC. Only 250 years later the Kingdom of Judah had shrunk to a small province around Jerusalem, barely a quarter of modern Palestine.

In 63 BC the Jews were conquered by Roman Pompey, and never again had even the vestige of independence. The Roman Emperor Hadrian finally wiped them out about 135 AD. He utterly destroyed Jerusalem, rebuilt under another name, and for hundreds of years no Jew was permitted to enter it. A handful of Jews remained in Palestine but the vast majority were killed or scattered to other countries, in the Diaspora, or the Great Dispersion. From that time Palestine ceased to be a Jewish country, in any conceivable sense.

This was 1,815 years ago, and yet the Jews solemnly pretend they still own Palestine! If such fantasy were allowed, how the map of the world would dance about!

Italians might claim England, which the Romans held so long. England might claim France, "homeland" of the conquering Normans. And the French Normans might claim Norway , where their ancestors originated. And incidentally, we Arabs might claim Spain, which we held for 700 years.

Many Mexicans might claim Spain, "homeland" of their forefathers. They might even claim Texas, which was Mexican until 100 years ago. And suppose the American Indians claimed the "homeland" of which they were the sole, native, and ancient occupants until only some 450 years ago!

I am not being facetious. All these claims are just as valid-or just as fantastic-as the Jewish "historic connection" with Palestine. Most are more valid.

In any event, the great Moslem expansion about 650 AD finally settled things. It dominated Palestine completely. >From that day on, Palestine was solidly Arabic in population, language, and religion. When British armies entered the country during the last war, they found 500,000 Arabs and only 65,000 Jews.

The catastrophe of the creation of the Zionist state has already happened. I would personally prefer that Israel be wiped out and the Jewish and non Jewish inhabitants can live togethor under one state, but that is unlikely to happen. The best thing for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is for Israel to demolish its settlements, remove her wall from Palestinian land (including East Jerusalem) and to allow the refugees to return.

Forget about all of that, the current population of Jews are not the original tribes of Israel so they have no claim to the land of Palestine.

The whole concept of the "right of return" was a forgery, its supposedly based on the Jewish population back in the early 1900's being the original inhabitants of the land Israel. The fact of the matter is that the Sephardic Jews (The Semitic) immigrated to the kingdom of Khazar in 800 A.D. and the king of Khazar converted along with his people making the bulk of the current Jewish population. Recent estimates say 95% of them are Ashkanazi (Khazars) while less than 2% Sephardic and the rest from Africa.

Moreover the Torah clearly states that God punished the people of Israel for not following him by forbidding them from ever returning to Israel unless their Messaiah arrives. So the current nation of Israel is actually a blasphemy.

Forgot to mention that the Balfour declaration was infact payment for the services provided by the zionists in order to get the USA into WWI. If you don't believe me just download Benjamin Freedman's speech dated 1961.
