palestine never existed ergo, except when all the inhabitants were jews under the romans. you know this. you also know the british mandate published immigration figures from 1925 to 1935 and the white paper which talks about streams of arabs entering british palestine illegally. remember all those jails in the west bank built by the brits to house "arabs". and of course there is the UN document of 1948 proclaiming the partition of British Palestine, it uses the worrd arab not palestinian. Why: because a british palestine passport given to arriving jews was stamped: "Palestinian"
why dont you actually talk to a palestinian?
i have.
have you?
you want the actual quote?
the world is not free of hoaxes:
by the way the israelis are now fabricating things just like palestinians to show the rightness of the gaza pullout: ( just as was on debka and posted a few days earlier)
Mainstream Media Fabricate ´Lynch´ of Arab by Jewish Activists
23:04 Jul 04, '05 / 27 Sivan 5765
By Hillel Fendel and Ezra HaLevi
The “fatal lynching” of an Arab stone-thrower last Wednesday by “Jewish extremists” in Gush Katif was fabricated by mainstream Israeli media, according to photographs and eyewitness testimony.
Several sources now reveal that footage of the injured Arab was staged. Photographs from onlookers show a professional cameraman setting-up video shots of an injured Arab. Media agencies from across then globe reported a fabricated chain of events based on the staged footage.
Mainstream Israeli media and international news outlets claimed that Hilal Ziad Al-Majaydeh was “mortally wounded” by Jewish stone-throwers who instigated a clash with nearby Arabs. The video footage shows a wounded Arab lying on the ground, supposedly near death. Further non-sequential footage shows Jewish activists throwing stones.
New reports, now five days later, disprove allegations of any such lynching by Jews. Testimony from the alleged victim further reveals that he wasn't injured by Jewish stone-throwers, and that he was merely “lightly hurt” in the incident.
The edited video footage depicting a lynching was broadcast repeatedly on Israeli news channels. Outrage over barbaric behavior of the supposed extremists was used as a pretext for public condemnation as well as military action against Jewish activists who support Israel's sovereign right to remain in Gaza.
The stage is set for the international and Israeli press to recreate the Medieval blood libel.
Early Thursday morning, less than twenty-four hours after the incident, the Sharon government temporarily declared all Jewish communities in the region a closed-military-zone. No one was allowed to enter the region, and residents were not allowed to travel between neighboring communities.
During this period, the IDF expelled tenants of the nearby Ma'oz HaYam hotel on Gush Katif's seashore, taking over the activist stronghold for use as a military base.
Government officials from across the political spectrum were united in their calls against violent acts by “Jewish extremists.” Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who usually refrains from participating in media interviews, was quick to publicly delegitimize Jewish activists, calling them “lawless gangs” engaged in a “reign of terror.”
Many activists believe however that Sharon's efforts to remove Jewish residents from their homes in Gaza are against the law. While promoting the evacuation, Sharon has violated his own party's protocols and fired cabinet ministers who oppose the plan.
Furthermore, Sharon has repeatedly rebuffed calls to bring the controversial plan to a national referendum. Numerous recent polls show that approximately half of the general Israeli public is against the government's proposed plan to evacuate Jewish communities.
Sharon has used incidents such as last Wednesday's reported “lynching,” to gain additional support for his plan amongst the general public, while isolating “Jewish extremists.”
Police announced Sunday night that they had caught Shimshon HaCohen-Citrin, an 18-year-old from the community of Nachliel. He is accused of being one of the three Jewish activists centrally involved in Wednesday's stone-throwing incident.
Despite photographs and evidence disproving any lynch attempt, Citrin is being charged with attempted murder and attacking police officers.
Citrin's father, interviewed by Army Radio Monday morning, angrily accused the media of ganging up against his son for defending himself against Arab attackers. "The only lynch that has occurred is that perpetrated by the media against my son. This isn't the first time and it won't be the last. You haven't even examined the matter, and you're blaming Jews for things without any proof."
Honenu, an organization providing legal assistance for those accused during anti-disengagement protests, is taking measures to fight the current anti-activist climate.
"Under the current public atmosphere," said one Honenu official, "with the media continually referring to the incident as a 'lynching' and with politicians calling forcefully for the police to 'mete out justice to the lynchers' and the like, we fear that the three suspects will be sacrificed unjustly. We are coordinating and gathering all the testimony that shows the whole incident was staged and blown out of all proportion."
The filmed victim, Hilal Ziad Al-Majaydeh, said in an interview that he did not remember being attacked by an 18-year-old civilian. Al-Majaydeh claims he sustained his injuries during an altercation with an IDF soldier.
An eyewitness to the rock fight told Arutz Sheva, “suddenly a gang of about 30 Arabs started smashing us with rocks. I ran away and hid behind an army jeep. Suddenly, this youth--the one who everyone claims was 'mortally wounded'--came around from behind me and threw this big concrete block right towards my head. He almost killed me!"

Another eyewitness to the fight and subsequent media fabrication stated, "The Arabs were the ones who started throwing rocks, just like they've known how to do for the last 20 years. The media people who were there knew that this boy, the one who was 'mortally wounded,' came up to us and threw rocks. And so we threw back.
“It's interesting how someone who is critically wounded gets up on his legs and laughs with his friends and gets interviewed while he's critically wounded,” she added.
