A🧵about the true origins of the “Palestinians”
H/T lead researcher @IbnAlwarraq
A lot has been claimed about who the so called Palestinians are. History, as in factual history, tells us that they are mostly Egyptian in origin, and not even that long ago.
The propagandists have manufactured this mythology that takes so many origin stories that it’s difficult to know where to begin. Some claim they are the descendants of the extinct Philistines. Others go even further back to the Canaanites.

Now imagine there were books, many books in fact, non fiction books, all written by Egyptians and Arabs themselves that detail the answers to the million dollar question.
Well I’m going to detail one such book for you right here, and it is very explicit in what it tells us.

The book, interestingly, is titled "Jordanian and Palestinian families of Egyptian origin" - written by Hassan Sharif Abu Lamthi in 2012

The book says as follows:
“Egyptian migrations and their causes to the Levant between the years 1798 - 1881
The most important Egyptian migrations to the Levant during the mentioned period can be summarized as follows…
1. In 1798, many of those who feared the brutality of the occupying forces (the French campaign in Egypt) took refuge in the Levant (Palestine). The size of this migration is indicated by what Napoleon found in Jaffa when he took control of it in March of 1799, which he estimated at 400 Egyptians in that city alone.”

“2. When the occupying French forces suppressed the resistance led by Hassan Tovar in Lake Manzala, many Egyptians and sympathizers of Hassan Tobar fled to Gaza.
3. In 1830, 6000 Egyptians migrated from the Sharqia Governorate to get away from the burdens placed on them by the systems of forced labor, taxes, and conscription introduced by Mohammed Ali, the ruler of Egypt. This number is considered a relatively large number compared to the population of Egypt at that time.”

“4. In 1831, Ibrahim Pasha brought thousands of Egyptians to settle in the Levant during his campaign, which Morier estimated in his book, “The History of Muhammad Ali”, at 140000. This is considered one of the largest numbers of Egyptian immigrants, given that the population of Egypt at the time was approximately 4.5 million people.
5. In 1860, thousands of Egyptians fled the unjust forced labor system that was used to dig the Suez Canal, in which about 120000 workers died.”

Now before I end this thread, this book is supported by numerous further books, articles, and historical accounts that verify all the facts are accurate and proven.
What you instantly notice in this historical synopsis is that there is no mention whatsoever of Philistines or Canaanites.
What you do get is the dates 200 -226 years ago when Gaza and the Levant were colonized by Egyptian immigrants, which interestingly is exactly what the so called Palestinians themselves have actually said all along… they’re Egyptians.
Thank you for reading.
