THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT........

  BUT how many people care about the truth any more? What will it take for the world to wake up to the fact that they have been royally duped! Genocide and famine are the creation of Hamas, to seek support from their supporters and useful idiots around the world – and the world media fell for it. The first time the name “ Palestine ” came into use was around 2000 years ago when the Romans invaded the Jewish nation of Judea. That, by the way, is where the word “Jew” came from. After the Romans occupied Judea, they called it Syria Palestina . Fast forward to the end of the Ottoman Empire. In 1917 and 1918, the area known as “Palestine” came under British control. In 1919, the League of Nations divided up the Ottoman empire and Great Britain was appointed to govern the area - establishing the British Mandate in Palestine.

So we were named in the world. Arab nationalists, on the other hand, categorically rejected the name. Arab spokesmen continued to insist that the land we had cherished for centuries was, like Lebanon, merely a fragment of Syria.
