My Inventivity Model Extended

As you know, I have been promoting the "Inventivity Model of Palestinianism" - Inventivity is the foundation necessity of Palestinianism - whereby, to be concsie, the Arabs of territories of the former Mandate for Palestine, in claiming a unique and special nationalism, do so by inventing a history of themselves which either is made up or denies negative aspects of their doings.  Moreover, they deprecate and deny any Jewish attachment and history to the Land of Israel.

I have now seen Alex Joffe's article on the fabricating of Pal. history and comment it.  In it, he writes, for example

...Stating nonsense to suit one’s purpose is only one of three obvious Palestinian rhetorical strategies. Lying, knowingly distorting the truth, is another...The third Palestinian approach is to propagandize through the lens of pure ideology, specifically Islam...

and this

Why then should Abbas make such an incredible fabrication? And why lie in such a ludicrous and extravagant fashion? Part of the answer is that for Abbas, as it was for PLO leader Yasser Arafat before him, there is a reflex that simply and absolutely cannot accept the antiquity of Jews... Denials regarding the Jewish historical connection to the Land of Israel generally and categorical denials that Jews constitute a nation are all frequently heard from Palestinian leaders, intellectuals, and others...Palestinian efforts to minimize or expunge Jews from history go back several decades but have intensified in recent years...

He adds

...Palestinian political statements regarding their Neolithic origins and continuity, which can be regarded in historical, rhetorical, and philosophical terms as completely fictional, might be understood as simply innovative shorthand communications to an in-group...Together with lies and ideological speech fictional nonsense helps shape Palestinian culture, beliefs, and political behavior. To say that this is at odds with objective reality as recovered by science is to miss the point. To some unknowable but large degree, this is Palestinian reality. What from the outside appears to be disjointed and nonsensical bits in reality are seamless parts of a larger Palestinian whole, beliefs about the history, the world, culture, and the self. The question then becomes the relationship of that reality to others. And here the matter of media as a conduit and interpreter becomes paramount.

Read it all.
