Arabs preceded Muslims all over the ME by thousands of years. Haniyeh is an Arab name that means good cooker or more loosely... good housewife.
I really do not care for your ad hominems... Once again there is no Palestinians!!!! I go even further... A new study suggests there's no such thing as "Mexican." either... Researchers took a look at the genetic history of people born in Mexico and found more isolated groups than expected. One thousand people representing 31 different groups were tested and researchers were able to categorize them into 9 distinct groups... with very little intermingling among them. They found someone living in northern Mexico can have extremely different set of genetics as someone from the southern part. The researchers say the findings are important for medical research and healthcare as ethnic groups may have different risks when it comes to different diseases. For example: lung disease. Researchers found a big difference in lung function when it came to genetic diversity in Mexico. According to NBC, there was a 7 percent difference in the amount of air a person can expel in one second when they traveled from the west to the east. One researcher said, "We were really fascinated by these results because we had expected that 500 years of population movements, immigration and mixing would have swamped the signal of pre-Columbian population structure." This diversity was compared to the United States also... because of the migration that happened centuries ago, people from California, New York and Texas would likely be just as different.
Of course there are Palestinians.. They have lived in Palestine since the time of Abraham. There are Mexicans.. They live in Mexico just like Americans live in America.
They have been called Palestinians since I was a kid... They had stamps, currency and newspapers. Wishing them out of existence doesn't work.. Arabs have lived in Palestine since the time of Abraham.. and long before Islam.
If you believe the Bible there were also Arabs in Palestine as long as the Jews were there. In fact ... in 700 BC Sargon 2 settled 4 Arab tribes in Samaria.
There were Arabs in Jerusalem when the Jews returned from exile in Babylon.... if you believe the Bible.
Yeah it does... Read Geshem the Arab.. The end of the Babylonian exile is the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora. There were so many foreigners in Jerusalem.. and many Jews had taken foreign wives. They were told to divorce those wives and dump the children of those marriages.. so many left .
Whether the 'Palestinians' were Arabized or Americanized, they're still the indigenous peoples of the land.
Oh Lord... I meant Joseph.. In Ezra, all the foreign wives and children are exiled. In Nehemiah, there's no such purge.
It's funny how Arabs quote information from the Jewish bible... At the end of the day, they are not true Muslims !! If they were , they should seek peace and tolarence.. not hatred and violence !! Allah is mad !! Look what he is doing to his followers in the Arab world
Explain if you can how one possible truth nullify another possible truth, and on a personal level, why you did feel it nessecary - great man of peace that you are - to insult Israelis and Jews worldwide in this post that supposed to unite Jews and Palestinians.
Whether those who today describe themselves as "Jews" are really descended from ancient Judeans is highly questionable. btw - original recorded inhabitants were Canaanites + when did "Jews" adopted that description ? I find ...
