Well done @ChayasClan and clearly shows the inverted reality. Also can’t ignore the many incursions and other identifiable occupations by foreigners over the years, which account for most of the non-Jewish residents of the area of Mandatory Palestine, now Israel. These include the following:
The 9th century Tulinids brought Turk and African soldiers with them.
2. The 10th century Fatamids introduced Berbers, Slavs, Greeks, Kurds and other mercenaries from other locales.
3. 12th century Saladin had Persian conscripts, who he rewarded by settling them in Israel.
4. The 13th century Mamelukes imported Georgian and Circassian troops.
5. In the 14th century, Tartars, Ashiri, Mongols, Kaisaite and Yeminis occupied parts of Israel.
6. In the 19th century, Albanian conqueror Mehmet Ali colonized Jaffa and Nablus with Egyptian and Sudanese soldiers and his son, Ibraham Pasha, also brought in Ethiopians.
7. In the 20th century, tribes from the Hejaz and southern Transjordan immigrated to the Beersheba area and groups of Numidians and Abyssinians, as well as, unaccounted others from Transjordan and from Syria moved to Israel.
In this regard, it should be noted that many of the surnames commonly found among the Arab residents of the PA and Hamas controlled areas refer to or can be traced to places of origin in one of the surrounding Arab countries, including Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, as well as, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen and the Maghreb (North African Arab countries). For example, Yasser Arafat was born in Egypt. Hence names like Masri (Egyptian), Tibi (Syrian), Chamys (Bahrainis), Al - Farocki (Iraq), Al - Arge (Morocco), Al - Lubnan (Lebanon), Al – Mogravi (Mugrave = Morocco), Al - G'zir (Algerian), Al – Yemenite (Yemen), Al - Afgani (Afghanistan), Hamati (Hamat, Syria), Autman (Turkey) and Allawi (Syria). It would appear that surnames involving the use of the name al-Palestini or al-Falastin are not listed among those commonly used. Given the pretentious assertions of indigeneity, this would otherwise be extremely surprising, except for the fact that the claim to be the indigenous people of Israel is truly just another unfounded element in the mythical Palestinian false narrative. Indeed, as the surnames in common use evidence and as history indisputably confirms, the roots of most Arab residents are from outside Israel, which is consistent with the history of Israel.
It should also be noted that one of the significant indicia of indigeneity is the existence of ancient graveyards identified with the group claiming indigenous status. Thus, consistent with the ancient Jewish presence in Jerusalem, there is the more than 3,000-year-old Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, with approximately 150,000 or more gravesites. It is reputed to be the most ancient Jewish cemetery in the world. If the so-called Palestinian people existed in Jerusalem prior to the Jewish people, then there should be at least one such major cemetery that is comparable and significantly older. However, there is no such ancient Palestinian graveyard that is older than the Jewish one on the Mount of Olives. The lack of such tangible evidence of a more ancient habitation of the land of Israel is telling. The myth of the so-called Palestinians was invented and weaponized as a means of undermining the legitimacy of the Jewish people’s right to live and have sovereignty over Israel, nothing else. It was not about having a separate state side by side with Israel. It is solely about destroying the Jewish State. Else, why would the PLO cede any claim to the so-called West Bank, including Jerusalem, to Jordan? Why was there no movement to have a separate state of Palestine between 1948 and 1967? Indeed, why did the Arabs located in the portions of Judea and Samaria (including Jerusalem) illegally conquered by Jordan in 1948 and illegally annexed by Jordan in 1949 opt for Jordanian citizenship, as noted above, and not insist on their own state?
Zuheir Mohsen, who was a member of the PLO executive council and head of the as-Sa’qa military wing, explained why as follows:
‘The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.’
The false narrative of being a separate people that is conveniently divorced from the rest of the Arab people, as needed (despite unqualified statements to the contrary, as discussed above), is also used to divest any responsibility for the expulsions of Jews from Arab nations in the aftermath of the 1948 War. This is despite the fact that Palestinian Arabs participated in the war as an integral part of the Arab nations, seeking to kill the Jewish State at its re-birth and to eliminate the Jewish people in Israel. Over 850,000 Jews in Arab countries became refugees, which exceeded the estimated 700,000 Arab refugees from Israel in 1948. It should also be noted that many of the Arab refugees from Israel originated from those same Arab countries where Jews were forced out. This would, of course, include the Jews forced out of Jerusalem. Resolution 242 was intended to cover the resolution of all refugee matters, including both Jewish and Arab refugees and there was no so-called right of return for Palestinians.
