PALESTINE - 1896

Old film about Palestine goes back to 1896. This contradicts Zionist propagandists who always trying to sell new Israel by saying : ' It was a land without people for people without land '. The film shows that there were Palestinians there in 1896.

  • I've never heard anyone seriously claim that the region around modern day Israel was abandoned before 1900. Maybe someone did, but that would be absurd.

      From Time Immemorial by Joan Peters

      A piece of fiction proven as lies and deception by most historians

      Standard Israeli propaganda even cited by Harvard Professor and Israeli-firster Alan Dershowitz

    • @john1054 A lot of far right-wing propaganda mostly in the US, not interestingly in Israel, tries to imply that the Palestine region was barely inhabited...its obviously a technique used to bolster the idea that nothing has been 'stolen'

  • If you listen to the Israeli historian Shlomo Sand, actually the descendants of the first Jews in Palestine are the Palestinians themselves that have lived there for 2000 years and have been converted to the Muslim religion after 700 AD.

    The Israeli Jews which came from East Europe or North Africa are Khazars or Sefarads not really Semit Jews from Palestine, Shlomo Sand said.

  • There were more people in Palestine at the time of the Balfour Declaration than there were permanent inhabitants in what is now Texas when the Angloes came. Texas never claimed there was nobody here. We don't claim our ancestors didn't practically wipe out the Comanches by purposefully killing off their food source, the buffalo. That's the way it goes. Why do some Israelis claim there was nobody in Palestine? Doesn't make any sense.

    • @TMoray1

      Israelis do not make that claim. Where do you get that from?

      The issue here is sovereignty. The area of Palestine was ruled by Ottomans for over 400 years then occupied by British for 30 years.

    • @wargypzy Should have used the word "Jews" instead of "Israelis" because I don't know if the people I've heard say that were actually Israeli citizens/dual citizens. My mistake. Next time I hear or read it I'll note the source and try to PM it to you.

  • Does it really matter what the people who lived there were called?

    The fact of the matter is people lived in that area since biblical times and well before that. The religion of the people who lived there many times as well. The people who lived there were Pagans, Jews, Christians, Muslims at various points throughout history. Small bands of people left and entered the region throughout various points of history as well but the bulk of the population prior to "Israel" being establis More..

      except they didn't chose to leave, they were forced and expelled by foreign armies, whether it was the Romans, assyrians,Muslims etc.., in a similar point most of the arabs who live their today came in the early 1900's in order to look for work that arose dueto jewish immigration, they are not indigenious to the area

      According to their traditions they were forced to leave, but obviously many of the native peoples were able to hang on there for a few thousand years.

      Moreover if every single people who were displaced by war were allowed to reclaim their land thousands of years after the fact nearly everybody on earth would be forced into exile.

      The simple fact of the matter is a group of people who lived in that land for thousands of years was forcefully removed from their land in an act of ethni More..

      populations always shift in wars, the sudentenland, german areas of russia, poland post ww2, India and the creation of pakistan etc.. it's just the ideology of islam refuses to accept their losses, sour grapes, like the muslim uploader, maybe his grandpa/dad should have been a better shot so hewouldn't have to whine about it now

      So because during the Nakba the IDF ethnically cleansed the area the native inhabitants should stop fighting back when they are locked up in a ghetto (Gaza) or when more and more of their land is stolen for "security barriers" or outright by settlers?

      Sorry but the Israeli state is the oppressor here, and I would damn sure fight them if I were in a Palestinian's shoes.

  • Fake, spoken commentaries on film were not possible before 1923.
    This collection of random shots somewhere in the mid east, have been mixed with a modern invented commentary.

      i didnt say they produced it with commentary. but if you look them up and look up this documentary you can see what it was about....someone was just kind enough to give us a general break down of it and put their voice on the video.

      OK I can put any commentary to this motley collection of clips to give a totally different spin on the films.

      My point is that some of this may be from the 19th century BUT the version presented id biased distorted and untrue. Unless you have references to your claimed script for the commentary to THIS film I would suggest you back off.

  • So, is this when palestine was really another part of the Ottoman Empire?
    Or was this when palestine was a part of Egypt?

    palestine as been invaded and ruled by so many Muslim nations, that it gets hard to track.

    • @wharris I think you'll find that almost every corner of the earth has been occupied, conquered by various empires...doesn't mean the people on the land don't have the right to self-determination

    • @ElegantDecline
      Agree.
      However, one does wonder why there seems to have been little drive for this self-determination over the millennia of Muslim occupation.

    • @wharris Not really, the late C19th was the 'age of nationalism'...nations became more self-aware and demanded self-rule everywhere.
      See the Fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Europe in 1918 which had ruled half of East and South Europe for centuries...The Serbs, Bulgars, Hungarians all gained States

      The 'Arab Revolt' against the Ottomans took place in the same period

  • the whole post is a logical fallacy, this video show's Jerusalem which was always inhabited by Jews, then christians and later Muslims after they invaded, the rest of the territory in the ottoman province known as palestine was barren and mostly desert and swampland. Mark Twain wrote about it in his travels around the area. Furthermore there is no such thing as a "Palestinian" as the province at the time known as Palestine was composed of modern day jordan, Egypt, and syria, leading PL More..

      this post shows how the jews were a very minor percentage in the population at those times. and just like zionists like to claim palestinians came from egypt jordan etc etc....the jews that are there inhabiting it now are mostly converts from russia, europe, and even arab countries. not to many have actual ancestors that can be tied back to that land.

      this video show's a few busy streets of Jerusalem, which has always had a large Jewish presence , the commentary has nothing to do with the video, your claim about converts from Europe are also false

    • @jen8933 According to this video, the homeland of the Palestinians also consisted of the cities of Damascus and Constantinople. I was just curious why they aren't fighting as hard, or at all, to reclaim them as they are Jerusalem.

    I'm no fan of Zionism and the narration certainly does contradict Israeli claims but the footage proves nothing.

      if you look up the lumier brothers you can see they did this in the palestinian area during the late 1800's the voice is something added to what the lumier brothers wrote about. they even had palestinian currency: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_pound

      The Palestine pound is irrelevant in terms of the films authenticity.

    • @Peckerhead

      my point for the video is zionists like to make it seem as if though the land was uninhabited. the ppl that lived there lived in tents and there were no buildings, no type of currency or any of that. this disproves them showing there were ppl living there....it was occupied....they had an economy....and they had buildings including homes not tents.

  • History can be so interesting. How empires rise and fall, how nations evolve or split and how cultures at times live in aggressive repulsion or in harmony together.

    Videos like this can open eyes to how things were before the great tensions of our own time, such as the Israel-Palestine conflicts.

    Very interesting.
