Palestine: Australia rejects fiction to recognise reality : Comments

By David Singer, published 10/6/2014

The world has been duped into the use of language that reflects fiction - not fact. Used often enough it takes on a highly damaging life of its own.

Just who are the occupiers ?
From long before 0 BC the area was Jewish.
Later it became both Christian and Jewish.
Around AD60 the Romans ejected most of the Jews from Jerusalem but it
appears the Christians remained. Some Jews did remain in the area.

Fast forward to the 7th century.
It was so until the Arabs from what is now Saudi Arabia under the flag
of Mohammed and Islam invaded and obeying the Koran they murdered the
the Christians and Jews living there in that area or forced them to
pay Jizaz to the Moslems under pain of death.

It was this occupation that caused the Crusades in an attempt to eject the Arabs.
The Crusades went on for a long time but eventually the Moslems prevailed.

Fast forward to the 20th century.

After the Holocaust the Jews returned with the imprimatur of the UN.
The Arabs understandably did not like this but their contention that
the Jews had no right to be there is somewhat hypocritical.

What we have now are the Jews saying we are back and these invaders
have no right to be here.
The Arabs say we have been here a long time and the Jews and
Christians have no right to be here.

If the Moslems insist on the "We were here first" principle they should leave.

One correction to your excellent summary.

The Jews started returning in numbers from about 1920 when The San Remo Conference and the Treaty of Sevres in 1920 unanimously endorsed the reconstitution of the Jewish National Home in Palestine.

Article 95 of the Treaty of Sevres provided:

"The High Contracting Parties agree to entrust, by application of the provisions of Article 22, the administration of Palestine, within such boundaries as may be determined by the Principal Allied Powers, to a Mandatory to be selected by the said Powers. The Mandatory will be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2, 1917, by the British Government, and adopted by the other Allied Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may 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.

The Mandatory undertakes to appoint as soon as possible a special Commission to study and regulate all questions and claims relating to the different religious communities. In the composition of this Commission the religious interests concerned will be taken into account. The Chairman of the Commission will be appointed by the Council of the League of Nations."

It was in fact the imprimatur of the League of Nations in 1922 that gave rise to large numbers of Jews coming to live in Palestine.

There were already about 565000 Jews in Palestine by 1945 and only 65000 in 1919.

The UN ensured that such migration would not be ended with the demise of the League of Nations in 1945 by including article 80 in the UN Charter

The PLO has declared these decisions to be "null and void" as they seek to impose their own false and fictitious narrative claiming that Palestine is an indivisible part of the Arab Homeland.

Plenty of people have swallowed their propaganda hook line and sinker.
