In 1981, the then Defense Minister of Israel Ariel Sharon had a dream....

That one day, the South Hebron Hills would be emptied of its 1000 native inhabitants.... Image
Alas, in May 2022, the Supreme Court of Israel approved the ethnic cleansing that Ariel Sharon dreamed about: Image
And, by June 2, 2023, Israeli settlers had already moved into the area.

This is the history of Zionist colonization of Palestine in a nutshell. Slow, steady, gradual, quiet removal of the native population, to be replaced by Jews

One of the most common Zionist myths about the 1948 War is that Israel expelled Palestinians for security reasons.

Let’s talk about the village of Zarnuqa, a peaceful Palestinian village of some 2,700 residents, whose residents were ethnically cleansed exactly 75 years. Image
In May 1948, Zarnuqa's mukhtar announced their surrender.

Zarnuqa was already known as friendly since its people worked in nearby Jewish-owned orchards.

In fact, its residents had already prevented Palestinian fighters from using the village as a base.

Source ⤵️ p.259 Image
But, despite that, on May 27, 1948, Zionist forces attacked Zarnuqa, bombarding the village with mortars. An account of the occupation was published in the al Hamishmer newspaper.

See Barak Mayer's ( @ireallyhateyou) for the source:

Many think Israel's regime of systematic domination of Jews over Palestinians (i.e. apartheid) is limited to the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

But few people know about the Palestinian Bedouin village of Qawa'in (in Israel).

This is their story (via Nati Yefet @ntiyft ) ⤵️ Image
The Israeli military has been waging a campaign of terror against for the village for months.

They've arrested dozens of people on accusations of smuggling Palestinians from the West Bank to Israel, but indicted no one.

They often harass and blindfold those arrested. Image
In one case, an Israeli soldier beat Hamza Abu Alkiyan, a 2nd grade student from Qawa'in, while he was waiting with his friends for a ride to school.

He was beaten so hard that he was hospitalized for 3 days in Soroka Hospital w/ 2 fractures in his left leg. Image

Many Zionists believe that Muslims never cared about Palestine & didn't identify as Palestinian until much later than Christians.

First of all, ask yourself, why they are trying so hard to erase any traces of a Palestinian identity or affinity with Palestine among Muslims? Image
Answer: the Arab connection to Palestine is a reminder to Zionists that Zionism was a movement to remove the indigenous population of mostly Muslims & replace them with Jews.

That's why they cannot accept that Muslims, just like Christians, identified w Palestine. Examples ⤵️

Most people think that Zionism + British Mandate over Palestine (1920-1948) are the things that led Arabs in Palestine to see Palestine as their homeland.

False.

A bit about a book titled, "The Geography of Palestine," published in Arabic / Greek in 1904. Image
Sbiridun Sarruf wrote the book for Orthodox Schools:

There were 65 boy schools & 13 girl schools in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Salt, Haifa, Karak, Ramallah, Jifna, Birzeit, Tayibe, Fuheis, Ajlun, Beit Jala Irbid, Nablus, Beit Sahur & Kafr Kanna.

Source, p.179:

In the book, Palestine's borders stretched from the Galilee to the southern Judaea mountains, and from the Mediterranean Sea to the mountains on the Eastern side of the Jordan River.

Something not well known about Palestinian history...

Palestinian writers in the late 19th, early 20th century showed lots of inclusivity towards & admiration for Jews & Jewish history in Palestine. There was nothing taboo about writing Jews INTO the history of Palestine :🧵: Image
The following quote is a condensed summary of a much larger article published in Filastin in August 1912 by Jubran Matar.

Note that he mentioned Judaism. He mentioned the Israelites. He’s showing deference to Jewish history in Palestine: Image
“Palestine, the site of revelation, birthplace of Judaism & Christianity, a Holy Land for Muslims, your land brings forth milk & honey. Your ancient inhabitants, the Hittites, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Philistines, & Israelites left behind so much celebrated history.”

Today is Pogrom Day in Palestine.

It's the day thousands of Israelis celebrate Israeli apartheid, chanting:

"Death to the Arabs"
"The people demand Muhammad on fire"
"We don't need Muslims here"
"May your village burn down"

100% sanctioned by the state of Israel. Videos in 🧵:
"may your village burn down"
"may your village burn down"
