Dear readers, since my last article for Blitz nearly three weeks ago, so much has happened in the geopolitical environment. The attempted Trump assassination, the demise of Biden and the deaths of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders in Iran and Lebanon the consequences of which we await. My colleagues at Blitz have comprehensively and brilliantly covered these issues and so I have decided to take an off-curve approach by a back to basics exposure of some of the false narratives that have somehow morphed into facts by a mainstream media and political elite media which puts ideology before truth. Bear with me if you will.
My article this week is very different from previous articles in that it takes the form of a quiz and not the usual scribed expectation of previous contributions. For some years now during debates, social media posts, written articles for this and other publications, radio, tv and podcast interviews, I have been incisive in using lack of evidence as a weapon in debunking the Palestinian narrative, their causes and land claims. In all these years not one, I repeat not one person claiming to be a Palestinian nor any of their rabid supporters has ever been able to answer any of the questions posed below. Do any of our readers know the answers? Let us see.
Blitz quiz on the anthropological miracle of the “indigenous Palestinians”:
Question 1
Can someone tell me once and for all what was or is the original mother tongue of those claiming to be indigenous Palestinians and what did they call themselves in their original mother tongue ?
The two Palestinian charters are in Arabic so one assumes the mother tongue is Arabic which presumably means Palestinians were colonizers from Arabia.
However, there is no sound for the letter P in Arabic so Palestinians may call themselves Filastins. But Filastin is Arabic for Philistine the two definitions of which are as follows. Extinct invaders from Greece and uncouth, uncultured heathens. Surely, they do not refer to themselves as either of these definitions? Would someone enlighten us as to what Palestinians actually call themselves in their mother tongue.
Question 2
Can anyone tell me what wars , battles or conflicts were fought by those indigenous Palestinians against the Babylonian, Persian, Greek or Roman invasions in defense of their lands and the names of the indigenous Palestinian leaders during these invasions. There are none such recorded so either the Palestinians were historically placid or they didn’t exist but please correct any of my misunderstanding.
Question 3
What is the most famous archaeological discovery verifying the existence of the indigenous Palestinians as none to our knowledge have yet been discovered but happy to be corrected. Coins, mosaics, scrolls, weaponry – anything.
Question 4
What was the historical flag, emblem or currency of the indigenous Palestinians as there does not appear to be any historical evidence of any of these national identifiers.
Question 5
What traditional songs were sung, or prayers chanted by the indigenous Palestinians linking them to their beloved Jerusalem or Palestine. Having attended numerous Palestinian religious and family celebrations , rituals , daily prayers and religious holidays, we know of no songs nor prayers connecting the indigenous Palestinians to Jerusalem or indeed any of the Holy Land but please correct if we are mistaken.
Question 6
Name any itinerant scribes between 5000 BC and 1917 AD who wrote about the indigenous Palestinian people We have studied near on sixty books from travelers between those dates and not one recorded a group , tribe , race , nation, ethnicity or people identifying as Palestinians. Again, if there was a recorded description of the indigenous Palestinians during those dates we would be happy to research further.
Question 7
Are the Palestinians ever mentioned in the Quran?
Paradoxically they are not, not ever, not even once. However, in numerous Suras Allah bestows , bequeaths and promises all of the land mass today’s Palestinians lay claim , to the Jewish people and only the Jewish people. Thus the Palestinians (and their supporters) claiming the land are mocking and defying the Quran, Mohammed and Allah – the ultimate Islamophobic act surely?
Question 8
Are the Palestinians supporting Nazi ideology given their two charters (1964 and 1988 ) command Jew extermination, subservience to Islam or death of all races and the 1988 charter commands extermination of those directly or indirectly assisting the physically and mentally disabled (Articles 17,22 and 28) among other very vulnerable people? Please make up your own mind on this.
Question 9
Why didn’t the original 1964 Charter specifically state that the Palestinians had no rightful territorial claims over the West Bank or Gaza?
Question 10
Name one historical building or monument, standing or destroyed, constructed by an indigenous Palestinian architect in any of the geography they claim during the period of their supposed existence and the name of the architect who designed the building.
I suspect that no one can refute my contention that the indigenous Palestinians as they identify currently are a recent invented demographic.
They are incidentally the demographic that is better supported financially than any other since time immemorial funded mainly by taxpayers in western democracies Palestinians represent 0.07% of the world’s population.
The 2024 UN budget is $3.6 billion UNRWA’s budget is $1.6 BILLION (not including the budgets of the 23 UN org’s working in the region for them). Sudan represents 0.6% of the world’s population (almost ten times that of the Palestinians). The UN budget for Sudan is ~$145 MILLION Palestinians get almost $297.90/person. Sudan gets $2.80/person. Palestinians are getting 45% of the UN budget Sudan are getting 0.09% of the UN budget.
@UNLazzarini has the gall to complain of UNRWA being underfunded?
It is time for the world to wake up to this travesty and deal with the real issues and not one’s created by a terror regime in Gaza supported and heavily funded by the UN. Palestinians historically never existed or are an anthropological miracle We suspect, like silicone breast implants they were simply an invention of the 1960’s.
