TRUTH about Palestine - Forgotten History

Israel is once again at war for survival after 50 years but then again Israel has

never really been out of conflict. Since its inception as a nation in 1948 its

Arab neighbors had plotted and attacked it in several high-profile conflicts such as in 1948,

the Six Day War in 1967 and the Yom Kippur War in in 1973. It has been under constant terrorist

attacks longer than most of us have been alive and to be honest Israel has not always made the best

decisions but then again it is living in a state of survival. Who and what created the area known

as Palestine? Why have the Arabs in the region been so hostile to Israel? Why has there been no

solution after all these decades? Hello I'm Colin Heaton a veteran of the United States Army and

Marine Corps former history professor book author and welcome to this episode of Forgotten [Music]

[Music] History. One of the great hypocrisies of the Muslim and Arab world is their public concern

for the Palestinians. The other Arab Nations provide no financial support and they have not

offered them sanctuary within their borders. Currently they would not even let them become

refugees in their countries. The Jordanians do not want them the Syrians and neither does

Lebanon. Egypt doesn't want them Saudi Arabia doesn't want them none of the Persian Gulf States

will accept them. If they solved the Palestinian problem along with Israel the Islamic terrorist

would not have a platform to complain about. However it is Israel who gives them access

to water electricity and food as they have no domestic produce or manufacturing capability

except when it comes to making bombs and short- range rockets with materials and money supplied

by Iran. The UN has never condemned the PLO for their education methods really indoctrination

where children are taught to hate and kill Jews at the expense of learning to read and

write. The greater ignorance of the situation are those people who believe that Palestine is

being subjugated by Israel. First there is not now nor has there ever been a Palestinian nation nor

a people known as Palestinians but previously in biblical times there were a people known as

Philistines. However Israel was an established kingdom 3,500 years ago and Jews had been living

there for over 5,700 years. The term Palestine was coined by Emperor Hadrian in 132 to 135 AD when

he responded to the last great Jewish uprising against Roman occupation called the "Bar Kohkba

Revolt". He renamed a Jerusalem "Aelia" and named the territory of Judea "Syria

Palestina" and slaughtered Jews scattering many of them to the winds forever some going to Europe

others to Africa and India. However some still remained. Many other conquerors later occupied

the area after the Romans such as the Byzantine Greeks various Muslim caliphates including the

Ottomans and then the British after World War I. It was under the Arabs in the 6th

Century that Jews lost their lands and became a subjugated minority. However for centuries

the Ottoman Turks also subjugated the Arabs who were also Muslims but there was a Resurgence of

Jews returning to their ancestral homeland in the 1800s. The Muslims living there for centuries had

not cultivated the land and left it barren and ruling Ottomans allowed it and taxed the Jews.

The Jews who came back joined those still there and built farms tilled and fertilized the land

and turned a barren wasteland into a viable and productive communities. They created industry

and a prosperous community at that, which drew Arabs from neighboring regions into the area who

began to identify as Palestinians. The Arabs who flooded into the area for over a century
