If "Palestinians" allegedly r the historic inhabitants of the Holy Land then...
Why is it that all historic documents mention Jews as the native inhabitants & Greeks, Romans & others as foreigners dwelling in Judea
*BUT
not of a Palestinian people either as native or foreign?

Why is there is no reference to any #Palestinian people in the Qur'an, although it is tradition that Mohammed was once in #Jerusalem.

It appears evident that even he did not meet any Palestinian in Jerusalem or in his whole life, neither did his successors.

Caliph Salahuddin al-Ayyub (Saladin), knew the Jews & kindly invited them to resettle in Jerusalem(which he recognized as their Homeland)
To claim that Palestinians r the original people of Israel is not only against secular history BUT also against Islamic history!

📍The name "Falastin" that Arabs today use for "Palestine" is not an Arabic name, but adopted and adapted from the Latin Palæstina.
❓How can an Arab people have a Western name instead of one in their own language?

Answer:
The term "Palestinian" for an Arab group is but a modern political propaganda tool created without any historic or ethnic grounds
AND
did not indicate any people before 1967, except the #Jewish residents of the #Mandate.

I call two witnesses now:

"There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not".
- Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian, 1946 -

"It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria".
- Representant of Saudi Arabia at the United Nations, 1956

📌Concerning the Holy Land, the Chairman of the Syrian Delegation at the Paris Peace Conference in February 1919 stated:
(And I quote🧐)
"The only #Arab domination since the Conquest in 635 c.e. hardly lasted, as such, 22 years".

"And thereafter We [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: 'Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd'.".
Qur'an 17:104

Any true Muslim won’t deny Quranic sacred text as the word Allah

The Sassanid Persians took control over Jerusalem in 614 c.e. allied with the local Jews, but five years later the City fell again under Byzantine control, although it was an ephemeral rule because in 638 c.e. Jerusalem was captured by the caliph Omar.....and

That was the first time that an Arab leader set foot in the Holy City, inhabited by non-Arab peoples (Jews, Assyrians, Armenians, Greeks and other Christian communities). Jews welcomed the Arab conquerors with the hope that their conditions would improve....

The Arabs found a strong Jewish identity in Jerusalem and the surrounding land; Jews were living in every district of the country and on both sides of the Jordan.
Indeed, the "Palestinians" that were historically dwelling in the Holy Land were no other than the Jews!
