How Many Arabs Lived In “palestine” Before The Establishment Of State Of Israel by falopey: 9:10am On Nov 18, 2023
A thread 🧵 with historical sources:

🔸In 1785, Constantine Francois Volney describes the "ruined" and "desolate" state of the country: "We with difficulty recognized Jerusalem... The population is supposed to amount to twelve to fourteen thousands..."

🔸In 1843, Alexander Keith wrote that "in this [Volney's] day the land had not fully reached its last prophetic degree of desolation and depopulation."

🔸In 1816, J.S. Buckingham had described Jaffa as "a poor village", and Ramleh as a place "where, as throughout the greater portion of Palestine, the ruined portion seemed more extensive than that which was inhabited."

🔸In 1835, Alphonse de Lamartine gave this description: "Outside gates of Jerusalem, we saw indeed no living object, heard no living sound. We found the same void, the same silence as we should have found in the enrombed gates of Pompeii and Herculaneum... a complete, eternal silence resigns in the town, in the highways, in the country... The tomb of a whole people."

🔸In 1857, the British consul in Palestine, James Finn, reported back to England: "The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population."

🔸In 1867, Mark Twain wrote in The Innocents Abroad: "Stirring senses... occur in this valley no more. There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent – not for thirty miles in either direction." He goes on to describe Galilee, Judea, and around Jerusalem as deserts devoid of population. And for the country as a whole: "Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies... Palestine is desolate and unlovely... It is hopeless, dreary, heartbroken land."

🔸In 1881 (the year designated by Arafat as the beginning of the Zionist "invasion" and "displacement" of the local population), English cartographer Arthur Penrhyn Stanley wrote: "In Judea it is hardly an exaggeration to say that for miles and miles there was no appearance of life or habitation."

🔸By the third quarter of the 19th century, the total population of the entire country, Arabs and Jews, was only 400,000. Less than 3% of today's figure.

Don't mind the hateful creatures, they only care about Israel and Jerusalem because the Jews care about those lands. History has thought them their religion is false and prophets are liars so they look up to Christians for targets they can possess that can put them in vantage position in future.

Canaan is the ancient name of a vast and prosperous country, roughly located in the same place as modern-day Palestine and Israel. The heritage of this land of abundance — flowing with milk and honey.

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the rest of the patriarchs were buried there (palestine). The children of Ishmael and Esau through war has been fighting to get that place too because they thought Jacob rob their father Esau of his blessings. Same thing with Isaac and Ismael which came from the bond woman Hagar.

The bottom line is this, God have that place to Abraham and his seeds for a possession.

2 seeds came from Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac. Of which Ishmael was not in the original plan, Ishmael came as a result of Sarah telling her husband Abraham to take her maid for a wife.

Isaac is the promise son to Abraham from God.

Genesis 22:2 (KJV)
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

The above statement is from God and at the moment God made that statement to Abraham, Ishmael was already a grown man.

What then? Who owns the inheritance of Abraham?
Isaac or Ishmael?

The inheritance belongs to Isaac not Ishmael but since time memorial, they have been fighting for it.

Muhammad knew this story.
That's why his plan was to first rid of Jews that countered him cos he wasn't a prophet listed in their Torah and his teachings didn't synchronized with Torah at all.
Also, Islam was built on lies by twisting Christianity.

When you look at Islam, you ll know that the religion is filled with deceits.
It's leveraging on achievements of Christianity.
The funniest part is they worship idols in Kaabah yet call others kafirs.
