From 1920s-1950s, many Arabs emphasized that “Palestinians” played a key role in the pre-WWI Arab literary & cultural movements, Faysal’s army & the Syrian Arab Congress.

Other Palestinian writers were keen to emphasize from the 1920s-1930s that “non-Palestinian” or “Syrian” families, especially the Sarsuqs, sold “Palestinian land” to Zionists in the 1930s:
1. Constantine Thuyudri (1928) wrote a novel in focusing on an “Egyptian and Palestinian author.”
2. Muhammad ‘Ali Tahir (1948): "some believed that Palestine was not the exclusive property of the Arab Palestinians, but rather the entire Arab World."

1. Jamal Husayni (1946): if the Arab states failed to defend Palestine, “non-Palestinian Arab blood” would flood the valleys & plains of every country in the region.
2. Fayiz Sayigh (1946): “the Palestinians” had rejected the Balfour Declaration along w the other Arab peoples
Musa al-‘Alami [‘Ibrat Filastin (Beirut: n.p., 1949), 5] argued that during the first phase of the battle for Palestine in 1948, "the Palestinians" were responsible for defending Palestine, while in the second phase, the Arab armies were.
‘Arif al-‘Arif [Tarikh al-Quds (Cairo: Dar al-Ma‘arif, 1951), 128] wrote that the Turks executed many heroes during the Great War, including four ‘Palestinians.’

Israel’s exploitation of Jews as demographic hostages, a brief history 🧵
Zionist & Israeli leaders have a long history of going against the interests of Jews themselves, of weaponizing Jews & exploiting their J-positive blood to engineer a Jewish demographic majority in Palestine.
This began after WWII when 35,000 Jews in Palestine applied for repatriation home, to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Germany & Poland. Zionist leaders instigated foreign consular officials to block their exit visas. palestinenexus.com/articles/zioni…
The last major case of intentional starvation in Palestine was during World War I. lessons from history. ⤵️
~11-16% of the population of what is today Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon died during the war, mostly from famine or famine related diseases. About 500,000 people.
During the war, the British, Russian & French navies blockaded the Eastern Mediterranean coast for a prolonged period of time, from December 1914 until 1918.
The blockade led to economic collapse in Palestine and elsewhere in the region. Tens of thousands of people lost their means of livelihood as a result.
The blockade led a shortage of critical goods, such as petroleum, essential to cook food and heat homes. In Palestine, the price of petroleum skyrocketed to five or six times its prewar price by April 1915, just six months into the war.
But Palestine is fertile and can produce its own food. Here, the problem was:
1) A massive locust attack in 1915 destroyed a lot of food.
2) the Ottoman government requisitioned the animals & took over the railways for military use.
Thus, it became prohibitively expensive to ship food via donkeys, camels or railways. The Ottoman State sabotaged the food delivery system.
Israel's ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians was not a historical event or two or three that happened in 1948, 1967 or 2023. It's an ongoing process, a structure, that began in the late 19th century and has been ongoing to the present day. ⤵️
