Nadene Goldfoot
Nakba, the Palestinian Arab's day of mourning when Israel was born on May 1948 held festivities in Ramallah and Gaza. Mahmoud Abbas gave a speech through his advisor and representative, Abdallah Al-Ifranji.
In it he denies the Jewish history in what had been called Palestine and instead wove a fairy-tale Arabian Nights type story claiming their history of going back to 7,000 BCE and called themselves the "owners of history."
Like a child, the speech taunted PM Benjamin Netanyahu with "Oh, Netanyahu, you are incidental in history; we are the people of history. We are the owners of history."
Evidently Abbas doesn't like history books as they deliver things he doesn't want to admit. Jewish history is written in the bible in what at times seems to be tedious description as well as in Josephus's writings, ancient and non-Jewish sources, archeological excavations, Hebrew coins and Jewish ritual baths that have been found there. Even the Kurkh Monolith, an Assyrian document from the reign of King Shalmaneser III (859-824 BCE) said, "King Ahab of Israel sent 2,000 chariots and 10,000 soldiers." The Koran "refers to the people of Israel and even the destruction of the Temple in (Sura 17), but not to Palestinians.
Jewish history tells of not only being in the land when they left Ur in what is today Iraq but having had a real country. In fact, Jews had two countries, Judea and Israel.
What is an embarrassing try is that Abbas is trying to say that the present day Arabs of Palestine were the original Canaanites which the Jews conquered. "According to the Book of Jubilees, the Israelite conquest of Canaan, and the curse, are attributed to Canaan's steadfast refusal to join his elder brothers in Ham's allotment beyond the Nile, and instead "squatting" on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, within the inheritance delineated for Shem." Canaan was the son of Ham. Ham was the son of Noah who built the ark. Noah was angry with his son Ham for uncovering him while he was sleeping which caused him to be naked before his family and he said, "Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. So if Abbas takes on the cloak of being a Canaanite, he has to take on the curse as well.
30% of Israeli Jews and from 16.8% to 25% of Palestinian Arabs have been found to have the J2 Ydna haplogroup. This only proves that the two groups have a slight genetic connection, like very distant cousins. Supposedly according to the bible, we Arabs and Jews are said to be cousins, but certainly haven't turned out to be kissing cousins. Our arguments go back to bible days to the days of Abraham and his two sons; one by Sarah's Egyptian handmaid and one by Sarah. From there on we have had disagreements.
Probably there were only a few Arabs living in Palestine at the time of 70 AD, and some may have stayed after the Romans conquered the land.. When Jews returned in the late 1800's to develop the land there were a few there. Mark Twain wrote about them in his book, "Innocents Abroad."
However, these Arabs who entered the land after the Jews' First Aliyah back in the 1800's came from surrounding Arab nations who were looking for work. They weren't natives of the land. Their people weren't taken by the Romans as captives. There just weren't any living there.
Palestinia was the name of the land named by the Romans which only meant to erase the Jewish presence. It was not a nation.
Abbas's speech stated that Hamas and Fatah reconciled in order to face Israel and Netanyahu. This is the twosome that Netanyahu is admonished to talk with about a peace settlement yet Abbas refused to come to the table. This tango pair again needs a greater ratio to even face a Jew now, except both have refused to come and Hamas only wants to destroy Israel.
Israel is not trying to transport the Arabs to Alaska. They're trying to live in peace in this ancient land. It's the Arabs who have not wanted peace with the Jews. This direction of making peace with an entity who is calling for their destruction does have its problems. Perhaps tonight's speech by Netanyahu to the USA Congress will have an answer.
