no suprise here arabs are liars and hypocrites,this time he got caught with his pants down

Before WW1 there were no nations in the Middle East, and definitely no "Palestine".

For 400 years it was simply part of the Ottoman (Turkish) empire.
When the allies won WW1 the Turks signed all their lands over in the Treaty of Sevres. That made the Allies the legal owners, and they decided to use the land they owned to set up nations.

They split one part into Christian Lebanon and Muslim Syria.

They split another into a small Jewish "Palestine", and a large Muslim Trans-Jordan.

They also created Iraq.

Very little land was privately owned because the Ottomans kept most of it as "Sultan land".

The Jews did indeed buy up as much as they could. Arabs in Palestine only owned about 4% of the land, but whatever they did hold title to was recognised as theirs.

only time will tell..but in islam theres something called taqiyya...thats the same thing arafat did...read below


On May 10th, 1994, just a few months after signing the Oslo Accords (September, 1993), Yasir Arafat addressed an assembly of Muslims in a Johannesburg mosque  where he justified his actions by explaining: “This agreement, I am not considering it more than the agreement which had been signed between our prophet Muhammad and Quraysh.”  And he concluded by calling on the worshipers “to come and to fight and to start the jihad to liberate Jerusalem.”


What did those words mean?

Muhammad signed a 10-year truce with the Arabian pagan Quraysh tribe in the city of Mecca (the Treaty of Hudaybiyah, 628 AD). At the beginning of the second year of that ten-year period he found a pretext to justify breaking the truce. He pounced on the Quraysh in a surprise attack, conquered Mecca and defeated the Quraysh, who were not prepared for more hostilities since they were honoring the 10-year accord and assumed that Muhammad was too. Since then this agreement between Muhammad and the Quraysh has been an example for Muslims world-wide of how to trick the enemy in wartime. In other words, Arafat explained to his Muslim audience that he gave his word to President Clinton and Yitzhak Rabin, and signed the Oslo Accords, only because he planned to annul his commitments and attack Israel as soon as it was expedient for him to do so.


Arafat’s lies to Clinton and Rabin were an excellent example of a 1,400 year old Muslim tradition of Taqiyya: tricking the enemy in wartime by offering a false peace or truce, but preparing to attack once the enemy lets down its guard.
