Adriani Relandi 1696

ADRIAN RELAND (1676-1718), Dutch Orientalist, Linguist and Cartographer wrote an account of his visit to Palestina in 1696, His book, Palaestina ex veteribus monumentis illustrata, was published in 1714. Relandi identifies each of the places mentioned in the Mishnah or Talmud along with their original source. If the source was Jewish, he listed it together with the appropriate sentence in the Bible. he also arranged a population survey and census of each community. His most prominent conclusions
1. Not one settlement in the Land of Israel has a name that is of Arabic origin. Most of the settlement names originate in the Hebrew, Greek, Latin or Roman languages. In fact, till today, except to Ramlah, not one Arabic settlement has an original Arabic name.
2. Most of the land was empty, desolate, and the inhabitants few in number and mostly concentrate in the towns Jerusalem, Acco, Tzfat, Jaffa, Tiberius and Gaza. Most of the inhabitants were Jews and the rest Christians. There were few Muslims, mostly nomad Bedouins.
3. The book totally contradicts any post-modern theory claiming a "Palestinian heritage," or Palestinian nation. The book strengthens the connection, relevance, pertinence, kinship of the Land of Israel to the Jews and the absolute lack of belonging to the Arabs, who robbed the Latin name Palestina and took it as their own.

No matter how many facts that are presented, muslims still prefer to make up their own fairy tales. This is a very, Hitler and Stalin thing to do - repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth. Except that they are now in the age of information - and their fairy tales can be debunked so easily. I would suggest to all muslims, and their appeasers, to start reading history for yourselves and stop taking the latest mantras as the truth. Mantras are just tools leaders use to brainwash.

Great educational material.  I've looked it up myself and found the content to be accurate. Amazing!

Until the 20th Zionist Congress Arabs were not mentioned and were not a consideration. The reason is simple - there were only few and far between. Arabs immigrated after the Jews developed the economy of this desolated place. In 1936 the newly arrived Arabs became violent (surprized?) to a degree that the 20th congress (1937) made reference to them, and suggesting a peace appeoach without kiling them or deporting them.

The quote is a complete fabrication. These congresses did not issue protocols. There was something else they issued, but I won't disclose that so you will not abuse the new knowledge in future messages.

Ahad Ha'am made no such comments.

Besides, that is a pen-name of used by אשר צבי גינצבורג. In the mass he published after his 1891 visit he encouraged the purchase of land by Jews. The lands were owned by Ottoman Turks and Arab Effendies living in Damascus.

Your statement is false and is not based on facts.

mr,

Not only are there facts in this vid, I have sent you other facts, but rather than check and shut up with your bullshit, you keep writing.

I presented facts about white flag Hamas tactics, you keep spreading your own version of truth...now, be smart and STFU!

By copying and posting my comment to you does not help any of your lies.

The live vid with the Hamas terrorist behind the white flag cannot be disputed, so you change the subject. Typical when you know you have been beaten!

jap,

Here is a live vid...

Watch and see the proof in front of your eyes. You cannot deny this vid!

MrJap,

Why did you post this incident w/the soldiers? Seems like you forgot to tell the entire story.

Hamas has a tactic of sending kids and women w/white flags and then behind them are Hamas terrorist w/guns.

That is what happened here, the Israelis thought that it was the usual Hamas scam, but this one time it wasn't.

Hamas' use of illegal war tactics is leading to more deaths, which they love, for the propaganda, which you continue to spread here.
