“1937 - The Arab leader, Auni Bey Abdul Hadi, told the UN Peel Commission, “There is no such country as Palestine. Palestine is a term the Zionists invented. Palestine is alien to us. Our land was for hundreds of years a part of Syria.” 1946 - Philip Hitti, Princeton’s Arab professor of Middle East history, told the Anglo-American committee of inquiry, “It’s common knowledge there is no such thing as Palestine in history.” In his testimony before the same committee, Professor Juhan Hazam said, “Before 1917, when Balfour made his declaration, there had never been a Palestinian question, and there was no Palestine as a political or geographical unit.” 1977. Zahir Muhsein, executive member of the PLO, said in an interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw, “The Palestinian people do not exist.

“Christian reverence for Jerusalem is synonymous with Jesus. It is based on events that took place there, at the Mount of Olives to the Garden of Gethsemane to the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. By denying a Jewish history and a Jewish Temple the Palestinians are also denying Christianity its heritage. For, without a Jewish Temple, the events of Jesus could not have taken place. This, more than anything else, should drive Christianity to the defence of Israel over a false Palestinian narrative. Sadly, with notable exceptions, it does not seem to have done so. Leaders of Methodist, Anglican, Presbyterian, and some Baptist churches fall in line with the Palestinian argument against Israel. I outline the root cause of this in my chapter on Replacement Theology.”

“Bigotry is now correlated with education and class. The lower down the social and educational scale, the more people are sane and realistic and decent about the Middle East and the threat to the free world from radical Islam. But as soon as you get people who’ve been through higher education, you find that so often they’re the ones who are bigoted and irrational about such matters. They make truly ridiculous claims about Israel, such as its perpetration of apartheid or ethnic cleansing – claims which, to anyone with even a passing knowledge of the situation, are demonstrably ridiculous. So how can it be that the most educated are now the most irrational? The short answer is that among the progressive intelligentsia, evidence and truth have been supplanted by ideology – or the dogma of a particular idea.”

“Why is it that European nations have taken in millions of Middle Eastern immigrants yet the Arab nations refuse to accept them? May I suggest the Arab nations do the same as Europe, America, and Israel, the very nations they freely condemn for their perceived Muslim hatred, and renounce their shameful perpetuation of refugee status for their fellow Arabs. It is a stain on their soil and on their soul.”

“It was Judaism that laid down the moral law which forms the very foundation of Western morality which is under attack from moral relativism. It is the Book of Genesis”

“I am occupying my land and proud about it.” I would go further and say to the Palestinians that I may be willing to grant part of my land to them if they will be able to prove to me their desire to live in peace and security and recognize my rights, as described in international law, to my Jewish National Home.”

“It’s a hackneyed trope of Holocaust revisionism in service of the Palestinian cause to equate Hamas-controlled Gaza with the Warsaw Ghetto. This portrayal is designed to gain sympathy for the Arabs in the Gaza Strip. It also equates Israel, the Jewish State, as the new Nazis.”

“In truth, they want it as a statement of conquest, to plant their flag to displace the Jewish infidel’s sovereignty over Jerusalem. It’s less about having their state. It’s more about destroying our state and planting their victory flag over Jerusalem.”

“Palestinian Authority denounced the existence of any Jewish history in Jerusalem. In this report, they claimed that the Jewish Temple “exists only in the minds of radical organizations.”

“What do their references about killing Jews, and a perverse Islamic view of what is a Jew, have to do with Palestinian self-determination, except perhaps for their stated condition that a Palestine must be Judenrein – Jew free?”

“When Mohammed conquered Medina, the booty included the public beheading of eight hundred men and boys and the enslavement of their girls and women. He destroyed the last remaining Jewish tribe of Qurayzah at the Jewish city of Khaibar.”

“confirmed by the Council of the League of Nations on 24th July 1922 and it came into effect on 26th September 1923. It read: “Whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by Her Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a National Home of the Jewish People, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might 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 text of the Balfour Declaration was adopted for this legal document.”
