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.
2/

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.
3/

The book, interestingly, is titled "Jordanian and Palestinian families of Egyptian origin" - written by Hassan Sharif Abu Lamthi in 2012
4/

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.”
5/

“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.”
6/

“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.”

Just in case any propagandists or fake historians want to contest my account above, here is the English translation from that book itself which you can see is word for word what I have written. Image
8/

Now just in case the above page is contested too, this is the original Arabic page from the book Image
9/

And for anyone interested, this is the cover of the book, just for reference. Image
10/

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.

A follow-up 🧵 about the true origins of the “Palestinians” that finally settles the debate and puts to bed all the garbage propaganda.

This will really blow you away. It’s explosive. Especially the last paragraph of slide 5 talking about Baedeker’s book.

Once again, all credit for this incredible find to my wonderful friend and tag team partner, @IbnAlwarraq who is just amazing l.

So here goes…
2/

Again I’ll start with the English translation:

“Through a study conducted by Dr. Abdul Karim Rafeq from the Ottoman records (the records of the Gaza Sharia Court for the period extending from 1857 to 1861), he concluded the following facts:

First: The Egyptians did not settle in one place or have a special quarter in Gaza.
They were present in the places of Zeitoon, Barjaliyya, and Sajaiya, and owned property there. This is regarding the city of Gaza. As for the countryside of Gaza, the Egyptians inhabited the villages of Zarnuqa, Khan Yunis, Deir al-Balah, Yibna, and Julis, and the Egyptians residing in these villages were referred to in the records of the Ottoman state as being among its residents.”
3/

“Second: is that the group that surpassed all other foreign residents in number and stability that they brought from their original country to Gaza and its countryside, their participation in various economic activities, and their dissemination of many terms, are the EGYPTIANS. There is no wonder in that, given the proximity of the Gaza Strip to Egyptian lands, and the ongoing political, economic, and demographic relationship between the two regions.”

Arab League spokesperson Gamal Roshdy says the Arab political organization rejects Trump's proposals on removing the Gazans, which it considers “against the notion of the two state solution.” He says that removing them from Gaza is "tantamount to undermining the Palestinian cause completely.”

This thread will tell you the true history and truth about the “Palestinian cause”

Please read and share.
2/

Let me clear… before 1948, there was never a “Palestinian cause”. Amin al Husseini and the Arab council wanted the land to be part of Greater Syria and to be known as Southern Syria. They wanted nothing to do with the name Palestine as saw it as a Jewish cause. The Arabs refused to be referred to in anything other way other than Arabs.
3/

In 1947, when the Arabs of the land waged their civil war against the Jewish people the day after the UN announced its Partition Plan, it was not about a “Palestinian cause”. They sought to genocide ALL the Jews and take all the land for themselves. After the Jews began to turn the tide of the war in April of 1948, the Arabs fled out of both fear and because the Arab armies of 5 Arab nations told them to leave their homes so that the armies can wipe out all the Jews within two short weeks and then allow the people to return and rebuild on the bones of the Jews. The Jews in fact pleaded with the Arabs to not flee, and instead to stand with the Jews and fight for their land against the Arab armies. Most of the Arabs left, but some stayed. Those who stayed are the forefathers of the 2 million Arab Israelis of today.

Apparently many people can’t read long posts, so I’ve broken this important piece into a thread to make it easier for people to read and follow.

There are so many aspects of the Gaza war that people simply overlook and don’t even mention, and I feel it is vitally important to detail it here. I’ve read hundreds of reports and analyses by military and political and humanitarian “experts”, yet none have ever mentioned this, so I will.
2/

Too many people compare the wars in Iraq or Syria or Afghanistan to this war in Gaza. But this is simply irresponsible and wrong.
3/

Iraq is roughly 450,000 square kilometers, and has a population of about 42 million. Therefore around 95-100 people per square kilometer.

A few days ago I wrote a post stating that Palestine isn’t what many think. There are so many intentional distortions of history and facts being spread by propagandists and fake academics who abuse their so-called titles to disseminate the most insane lies and misinformation about all sorts of things. But with this thread I want to discuss something I’ve written about in the past, but it’s a piece of history most don’t know, everyone should know, and that the propagandists have desperately been trying to erase. I hope this thread may offer some interesting insight on why “Palestine” exists in its current fabricated form, and how it was created.

In the midst of WW1, the Hashemite King, Hussein bin Ali al-Hashimi became the leader of the Great Arab Revolt, a pan-Arab movement that opposed and wanted the downfall of the Ottoman Empire.

Raising an army of Arab nationalists from across the region including North Africa, he allied with the French and British to defeat the Ottoman Empire who had allied themselves with Germany. He sought to bring back the caliphate to merge the entire Middle East region under his rule. His son, Faisal, would join him in leading this uprising, but what his son wanted to create was something slightly different.Image
3/

Faisal bin Hussein Bin Ali al-Hashimi was part of the Hashemite royal family and during and after Arab Revolt, he appointed himself and ruled as an unrecognized King of a new kingdom - The Arab Kingdom of Syria.

I’ve written about Greater Syria often. For many of the Arabs like Faisal and the Grand Mufti, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini (who became the leader of the so-called “Palestinian” Arabs in British Mandatory Palestine), they never wanted a Palestine. They never recognized nor accepted the name.Image

Over the last 12 months, we’ve all been bombarded with countless false claims and videos by people Hamas propagandists about IDF snipers shooting into crowds of people or at animals such as sheep and horses, or false stories by highly dishonest “doctors” claiming that our snipers go out of their way to shoot kids in the head.

For months I’ve worked to debunk these ridiculous and libellous stories with evidenced facts, together with some awesome people including @GAZAWOOD1 and more recently @angertab.

We can’t stop the never ending lies made up and pushed out by the con artists, but we can diligently work to counter these claims with hard hitting facts and evidence.

So as a former sniper, I wanted to write this important thread to put an end to the false stories being pushed out there.
2/

Over the last few days, a few people have shared a really great short video of the Givati Brigade inside Gaza (Video attached below), and the video shows a few scenes that are incredibly important.

The most fundamental things a sniper has to ensure are that they:

1. Remain hidden and out of sight as much as possible. This means wearing the right gear and camouflage, but also using the right equipment both on themselves and especially their rifle. One of the most important pieces of equipment is the Suppressor, or silencer. This allows a sniper to fire a round with minimal audible sound from the rifle allowing them to stay hidden and their enemies to not know their position.

2. Carry all their own equipment and make sure that it’s all packed light and ready, with the ability to not obstruct or cause discomfort (as snipers can be in the same location and position for many hours at a time just to get that one crucial shot.

Now in this video, at the 00:09 and 00:20 marks you will see the snipers from this brigade aiming with a suppressor attachment.
3/

I’ve now added a further short video that highlights only images of IDF snipers within Gaza over the past 10 months where you can clearly see the suppressors (silencers) on each of their rifles.

Why is this important?

🧵. On October 7, terrorists flooded the streets, firing indiscriminately at civilians and cars, killing everyone they could find while shouting with joy.

They massacred so many people within hours, and left so many children orphaned after slaughtering parents in front of the children.
2/

I’m going to show you one such incident where terrorists started firing at an oncoming car in the middle of a town, killing the parents in the front seat. This first of 3 videos shows the moment the terrorists firing at the car killing the parents and stopping the car dead in the middle of the road while the terrified young children were hiding in the back seats.
3/

In this second video in this incident, Israeli police come out in force to take on the terrorists. You will see the police look into the car to see if anyone survived, then continue walking forward when they see nothing. But the. They hear the kids crying and two officers come back to the car to rescue the two children and take them to safety.
