Palestinian Arabs Never Welcomed Jews
There's a lie that needs to go: Palestinian Arabs welcomed Jews after the Holocaust and the ungrateful refugees backstabbed them and stole their land.
This is an absolute fantasy. When the Holocaust started, the Palestinians didn't offer to help the Jews. They offered to help the Nazis.
In fact, at no point in history did the Palestinian Arabs were anything but hostile to the Jews.
Mandatory Palestine was created by the British in 1920. In that year alone there were many murderous attacks against Jews. The violence against Jews has only gotten worse throughout the history of the Mandate.
Some famous attacks include:
March 1, 1920, 9 Jews murdered in Tel Hai
April 4, 1920, 5 Jews murdered, over 200 wounded in Jerusalem
May 1, 1921, 47 Jews murdered, 140 wounded in Jaffa
24 August, 1929, 67 Jews murdered, 58 injured in Hebron
29 August, 1929, 18 Jews murdered, 80 wounded in Safed
2 October 1938, 19 Jews murdered (including 11 children)
During the war, there were pogroms all over the Arab world, including the Farhud, a murderous pogrom in Baghdad in which hundreds of Jews were murdered, over a thousand were raped or mutilated, and 900 homes were looted.
As you can see from this 1936 front page of Falastin (notice it refers to Palestine Arabs, not Palestinians), the Arabs weren't too hot on the Jews coming to the region. They certainly didn't offer any kind of shelter to persecuted Jews.
Arabs have abused and murdered Jews in the region before 1920 as well, except that it wasn’t called Palestine by the Ottoman rulers.
As one 19th century traveler remarked:
"I have seen a little fellow of six years old, with a troop of fat toddlers of only three and four, teaching [them] to throw stones at a Jew. And one little urchin would, with the greatest coolness, waddle up to the man and literally spit upon his Jewish gaberdine. To all this the Jew is obliged to submit; it would be more than his life was worth to offer to strike a Mahommedan."
Maybe Zionism is to blame?
The first Zionist congress took place in 1897. A pogrom against Jews in Safed took place in 1834. How prescient of the wise Palestinian resistance to the occupation to strike against Zionism over 60 years before it started!
But wait! There was also a pogrom in Safed in 1660, and in 1517... Come to think of it, didn’t the first Muslim massacre of Jews took place in 627 when Muhammad massacred the Banu Qurayza in a heroic battle in which 2 Muslims and 900 Jews were killed?
Seems like Zionism isn’t the problem, after all.
Maybe the kind and welcoming folks of Palestine are just vicious bigots? Nah, that’s impossible! They were the most peaceful, honest, and loving people on the planet before 1947 when they suddenly became the world’s #1 exporters of terrorism…
So please, spare us your lies.
You always hated Jews, always mistreated Jews, and you never welcomed them in Palestine.
