The lost narrative of Israel's history
By Ruth King
“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”
― George Orwell
The lamentable success and proliferation of the pro-Hamas rallies, excluding the Muslim participants who are faith-driven, is the outcome of fake history perpetuated in academia and media.
The Balfour Declaration of 1917 deeded the entire land mass of the Palestine Mandate to the Jews with the proviso that the rights of local Arabs would not be violated by the Jews who lived there since Biblical times.
In 1922, the infamous British White Paper bowing to Arab pressure ceded 76 percent -- all the land east of the Jordan River -- to the Hashemites with no historical claim to the land, which was named Trans-Jordan and subsequently the Palestinian state named Jordan, closed to all Jewish settlement. The remaining land west of the Jordan River was to become the Jewish state controlled by the duplicitous British, with ensuing White Papers that limited the immigration of Jews.
The British justified their efforts by the following statement: “England … does not want Palestine to become ‘as Jewish as England is English,’ but, rather, should become ‘a center in which Jewish people as a whole may take, on grounds of religion and race, an interest and a pride.’
The bitter irony is that Israel is more Jewish than England is England, now Muslems are well on the way to achieve majority status in that nation.
