The genocidal state wants us to believe its myths are HISTORY.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>by Garcia Wilde<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with Abraham\u2019s myth which ridiculously asserts God, Jehovah, Adonai, Hashem, etc. promised the land of Canaan to them. Why would God order a 70-year-old man living in Ur (a town in Iraq) to pick up his family and cross the desert to distant Canaan? Of all the Urians\/Chaldeans why did God pick Abraham to steal the land of Canaan from its natives? What God would approve theft? Then there\u2019s the fairy tale of 100-year-old Abraham fathering a son whom he was about the kill because God told him to do so. Some compassionate God.<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s enumerate just 10 of the many myths Zionists have been spreading for more than a century to claim Arab Palestine.<\/p>\n<picture class=\"alignnone wp-image-712760 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/zion1.jpeg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/zion1.jpeg 690w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/zion1-300x177.jpeg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"407\" \/><\/picture>\n<ol>\n<li>When European Zionists started clamoring to grab Arab Palestine, their mendacious slogan was: \u201cGive the land without people to a people without a land.\u201d Of course, Palestine was not a \u201cland without people.\u201d A related Zionist myth was that Palestine was desert. With great chutzpah, they continued these lies although Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism, wrote the following after touring Palestine: \u201cWe abroad are used to believe the Eretz Yisrael (Arab Palestine) is now almost totally desolate, a desert that is not sowed\u2026But in truth, this is not the case. Throughout the Country, it is difficult to find fields that are not sowed.\u201d The myth is still alive and lies that Israelis turned the desert into a garden. That Zionist garden was funded by the $280 billion from the U.S., not to mention billions of dollars diaspora Jews have sent to Israel in addition to know-how practically in every field.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cAfter 2,000 years, Jews have returned to their homeland.\u201d According to any number of scholars and a celebrated Jewish writer Arthur Koestler (\u201cThe Thirteenth Tribe\u201d), the Ashkenazi Jews, who founded Israel are not Jewish. They are Khazars from northern Caucasus who converted to Judaism. They spread west to Europe and came to be known as Ashkenazi. The Sephardim of Israel come from Arab countries and since the 7<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century have mixed racially and culturally with Arabs. Many of these Sephardim \u201creturned\u201d to Palestine through Zionist trickery. Zionist agents, for example, placed bombs in Iraqi Jewish community canters to convince Jews that their lives were in danger in Iraq.<\/li>\n<li>Israelis condemn Arab refusal to recognize Israel as the historic land of the Jews.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Long ago the founder of Israel David Ben-Gurion said: \u201cWhy should Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader, I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural. We have taken their country\u2026they only see only one thing. We have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?\u201d Ehud Barak expressed similar sentiments a few years ago. When Israeli leaders admit their grand theft, why shouldn\u2019t the Palestinians, the Arab world, and the world not do so?<\/p>\n<picture class=\"alignnone wp-image-702879 size-full\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/palestine-two-state-solution.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/palestine-two-state-solution-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/palestine-two-state-solution.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/palestine-two-state-solution.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/palestine-two-state-solution-300x200.jpg 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/picture>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>To justify their theft of Palestine, Zionists deny the existence of a Palestinian people. In the words of mannish Prime Minister Golda Meir, \u201cThere is no such thing as Palestinians\u201d (<em>Sunday Times<\/em>, 1969.) Years later, she said: \u201cI am Palestinian. I was Palestinian from 1920 to 1948.\u201d She said it although she was born in Ukraine and was an American citizen when she went to Palestine.<\/li>\n<li>In Israel and around the world Zionist begin their gathering by proudly singing\u00a0<em>Hatikvah<\/em>, Israel\u2019s anthem. It\u2019s supposed to express Israeli patriotism and is presumably composed by an Israeli. The anthem was based on\u00a0<em>Vitara (My Homeland)\u00a0<\/em>composed by Czech composer Betrich Smetana.<\/li>\n<li>Israel\u2019s flag has the so-called Star of David at its center. The star is supposedly a reproduction of the star on mythical King David\u2019s shield. However, the star, which is of Indian origin, was adopted by Zionist in recent centuries. But the false \u201cKing\u201d David connection is still propagated by the Zionists. As Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels said: \u201cA lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Israelis say that in 1948 they were surrounded by five Arab nations intent at throwing them into the sea. A soft-headed Arab leader did say that but at no time were the five Arab nations (Lebanon and Saudi Arabia barely participated in the war) a threat to Israel. The CIA and British intelligence agencies maintained that in 1948 the Israeli forces were stronger than the combined Arab forces. For the past 75 years Israel has presented herself as a victim country being threatened by stronger and collective Arab forces. If that was true, why has Israel won all its wars with the Arabs?<\/li>\n<li>Israelis claim that for 2,000 years, Jews had dreamt of returning to their homeland. However, Herzl, the founder of Zionism, wanted to establish a Jewish homeland in Uganda and Patagonia (South America.) Some connection to the land of Palestine.<\/li>\n<li>Israelis claim Jews founded Jerusalem. However Canaanites occupied Palestine and founded Jerusalem thousands of years before the appearance of Jews. They called the town Urushalim (Uru means \u201cfounded by\u201d) and Shalim was a Canaanite god. Thus, it\u2019s false to call Jerusalem City of David.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cAnti-Zionism is antisemitism\u201d is another Zionist myth. Anti-Zionism is a political ideology; anti-Semitism is a racial matter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<picture class=\"alignnone wp-image-370 size-full\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-300x164.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-1024x558.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-768x419.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-1536x838.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-696x380.jpg.webp 696w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-1068x582.jpg.webp 1068w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-1920x1047.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-770x420.jpg.webp 770w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-1024x558.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-768x419.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-1536x838.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-696x380.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-1068x582.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-1920x1047.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/coexist-palestians-jews-israelis-770x420.jpg 770w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1117\" \/><\/picture>\n<p>P.S. For years Israel has claimed it is not responsible for the 1948 Naqba (catastrophe in Arabic) when some 750,000 Arabs fled for their lives from what is now Israel. The Israelis lie that Arab radio stations were advising the Palestinians to leave so that they would not be caught in the fire when Arabs attacked the Israelis. At the time the British monitored the war from Cyprus and taped the broadcasts of every Arab radio station. The British tapes don\u2019t contain any mention of Arab states advising Palestinians to evacuate.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"td-modal-image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/free-palestine.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-696038 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/free-palestine.webp\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/free-palestine.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/free-palestine-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/free-palestine-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/free-palestine-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/free-palestine-696x464.webp 696w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/free-palestine-1068x712.webp 1068w, https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/free-palestine-630x420.webp 630w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/2023\/11\/ripping-the-foundational-myths-of-israel\/\">https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/2023\/11\/ripping-the-foundational-myths-of-israel\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-196207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=196207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196207\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=196207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=196207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=196207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
