Historical Questions related to Palestine and the Palestinian people

 Important Notice. Read before Continuing

*** The questions I'm about to ask are not hostile, filled with hate or prejudice. The questions I'm about to ask are related to Historical curiosities. As a man who likes facts and practical evidence, when two and two does not add up I want to know why. The views and conclusions are based off my personal  findings and do not relate to any organization, website, faith, church, country, political view or agenda. The views and conclusions are based off my personal research and findings and are offered in a non biased, neutral, tone based off Historical documentation or lack of.***

 

Here are questions I have regarding palestine and the palestinian people:


The Ottoman Empire: 1299-1922 (a total of 623 yrs)

The Ottoman Empire was defeated in World War 1

Source: https://www.worldhistory.org/Ottoman_Empire/

"At its peak in the 16th and 17th centuries, the empire controlled vast stretches including Anatolia, southwestern Europe, mainland Greece, the Balkans, parts of northern Iraq, Azerbaijan, Syria, Palestine, parts of the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, and parts of the North African strip, in addition to the major Mediterranean islands of Rhodes, Cyprus, and Crete"

 

You see that the area of palestine was controlled by the Ottoman Empire. My question is: During that   time why didn't the palestinian people fight the Ottoman Empire? Why wasn't' there chants 'Free Palestinians from the Ottoman Empire'? Why wasn't the world demanding the Ottoman Empire give the palestinian people back the land? Why wasn't the palestinian people yelling at the Ottoman Empire: "From the river to the sea palestine will be free'. Why isn't there any historical records of the palestinian people fighting the Ottoman empire to take back their land? Any historical records of world governments demanding the Ottoman Empire give up 'Land for Peace'? 

Another question arises: Where were the palenstinian people during that time period? The Jews did not have control of Israel during that time. Israel was not declared a Nation again until May 14, 1948. So where were the palestinians during those 623 years? Why were they not fighting against the 'Occupation' of the Ottoman Empire?

From 1917 to 1947 the British oversaw palestine.

Why didn't the palestinian people fight the British? Why weren't there chants: "From the river to the sea palestine will be free'. Where was the 'Uprising' to free palestine? Where was the war against the 'Occupiers'? These are just some basic questions I have. 

 

Here are some historical questions I have (questions that date back before Israel became a Nation in 1948).

 

If palestine belongs to a people called the palestinians, where are the historical records? Let's look at some very important questions

 

Who was the first president of palestine? 

Yasser Arafat

Source:  https://www.biography.com/political-figures/yasser-arafat

" Yasser Arafat was chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization from 1969 until his death in 2004"

He was born in Cario, Egypt and died in France. Not palestine? No. Why? He was born in 1924 and died in 2004. Israel didn't become a nation again until 1948. There was no 'Zionist Occupation' in 1924, the British had control over palestine then. So why was arafat born in Egypt and not palestine if he was a palestinian? Why did he die in France and not palestine? Just some basic questions.


Who was president of palestine before arafat? 

What was the palestinian currency before 1948?

Who were some of the political leaders in palestine before 1948?

Who were some of the historical military leaders in palestine before 1948? 

What are some of the Archeological finds related to the palestinian people?

When did the palestinian people lose control of the land? Before the Jews, Romans, Ottoman Empire? History shows that the Jewish people were in the land during up until 70AD before Rome destroyed Jerusalem. If Jerusalem is sacred to the muslims why didn't the muslims revolt against Rome when they destroyed Jerusalem? Why weren't the paelstinians demanding Rome give them Jerusalem as their capital?

If the palestinian people came from the 'Philistines' where is the archeological evidence?  Where did the Philistines go and how did the they show back up after different empires ruled the land and why didn't they fight for the land during the time of those empires? Why only now, after 1948? Curious.

Let's go all the way back to the Roman Empire: Why isn't there any  Archeological evidence of a palestinian people in the land? The Romans fought against the 'Jewish People'. This is a historical fact.

The Jewish people were dispersed from the land in 70AD by the Romans. Why didn't the palestinian people come back and fight against the Romans if the Jewish people 'Stole' their land before that. The Jewish people were dispersed. It was only the Romans who had controlled of the land. Where are the historical records showing the palestinian people fighting the Romans?

 With the Jewish people gone the palestinian people should have fought against the Romans to take back their land, right? Why didn't the palestinian people fight against any other empire that ruled the land up until 1948? Why only after a Jewish state was formed did the so-called 'Uprising' begin? Curious. 


More questions: 

The Jewish State was not formed until 1948. 

Why didn't the palestinian people fight the 'Occupiers' up until 1948 and build up the land?


Quote from Mark Twain:


My question is: Where were the palestinian people? The 'Zionist Occupiers' as their enemy calls them were not in control of the land in 1881. The Ottoman Empire controlled palestine then. Where was the uprising then? Why wasn't the world condemning the Ottoman Empire for 'Stealing Land'. 

 

The land was desolate when Mark Twain visited in 1881. Why? Why wasn't the palestinian people fighting for the land against the Ottoman Empire? Who was the palestinian leader in 1881? A military leader? What was the currency? What was a palestinian town or city?  Why is it only when the Jewish People returned to the Land did the Land begin to be built up?


As a man who likes historical facts I just don't see any proof or facts that support a 'palestinian' people or state. As an investigator my results show that there is no concrete evidence. What I see is a creation of a people who are being used as a political weapon to attack and demonize the Jewish Nation. A weapon of war if you will. If I could honestly find historical records of a palestinian people I would say otherwise. I cannot. What I see based off evidence is the creation of a people to be used as a tool of war. That is my practical answer. 

What I can't find:

Archeological evidence of a palestinian people

Historical records of any palestinian leaders (military, political, artist, poets, writers, etc...)

There are not any historical records showing the palestinian people at war with anyone but Israel even though the land did not come back under Jewish control until 1948 and not in full control until 1967. Jordan controlled East Jerusalem from 1948 to 1967. Why didn't the palenstinian leaders demand Jordan make East Jerusalem their capital then? Curious. 

 

The final question for me is this: Up until 1948 (and especially during World War II when over  six million Jews were murdered in death camps) why didn't the palestinian people fight for their land? Why only after the establishment of a Jewish Nation did they start to fight against the 'Occupiers' when there has been--historically proven--centuries of occupiers before the Jewish people? Why did Mark Twain find a desolate land (and you can't blame that on the Jews). 

 Again, these questions are based off Historical curiosities. Nothing else. 

If the Russians had no historical proof they were a people I would come to the same conclusion. My questions and conclusions are based off Historical evidence and current situations on the ground. It seems to be those who hate Israel wish to remain blind to history. History speaks the truth, the whole truth and nothing but but the truth when revealed as fact instead of being manipulated.

That's call 'Hypocrisy'. Historians requires facts and truth.

Facts, not emotions, lies, political agendas or hate--nothing but the Facts. 

Do the research yourself and learn the facts. 

Shalom and blessings in YESHUA's Precious Name.
