Israellycool has drawn our attention to a video that seeks to offset Danny Ayalon's earlier video.
He makes a few good points.
And I had just a few:
a) if the Palestinian nation existed, why did 55 nations of the League
of Nations not only ignore that "fact" (not) but grant political rights
to the country, indeed, popularly known geographically as Palestine, to
the Jews and to the Jews only and excluded non-Jews from those rights,
guaranteeing them only civil and religious rights?
(Here is some info: The Palestine Order in Council. AT THE COURT AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE, The 10th day of August, 1922. PRESENT, THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY...WHEREAS the Principal Allied Powers have agreed, for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, to entrust to a Mandatory selected by the said Powers the administration of the territory of Palestine [not country] which formerly belonged to the Turkish Empire [and not to any Palestinian people], within such boundaries as may be fixed by them [in other words, it wasn't properly defined];
And whereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for 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; more here.)
b) actually, Jesus was born in Bethlehem in "Judea" as recorded by the New Testament.
According to the New Testament account of the apostle Matthew, Joseph
and Mary were living in Bethlehem in the southern region of Judea at the
time of Jesus' birth and later moved to Nazareth in the northern
Galilee region. In the more popular account of the apostle Luke, Joseph
and a very pregnant Mary traveled more than 90 miles from their
residence in Nazareth to Joseph's Judean hometown of Bethlehem to be
counted in a Roman census.
c) of course Jesus was definitely NOT a Palestinian. He was a Jew, who walked through Judea and Samaria as did his disciples.
d) the country became "predominately Arab" only because the Arabs, who first came
out of Arabia in the early 7th century, conquered and then occupied
the Land of Israel.
e) the PEF served to explore the land of
the Jews and had no effect of the supposed Arab character of Palestine
in a political sense.
f) at 4:10 she skips the part when the Mufti of the Palestine Mandate aided Hitler.
But this is getting tiresome.
P.S. Try this counter-video.
