“From 1890 to 1947, in less than sixty years, the population [of Arabs, Jews, and Europeans in Palestine] grew from 532,000 to 1,845,560. The Arab population of Palestine grew more from 1922 to 1947 than it had over the previous 400 years.” – UNSCOP*, pp. 12-13
The *myth* of “colonization” is meant to delegitimize Israel with every breath, with every statement. Even when those, who believe in and say this lie, claim to accept Israel’s right to exist, it is an act of “othering.” The Jew must always be the instigating villian, the reason for the social problems, according the supremacist structures and beliefs of historic Christianity and modern Islam. And, if Jews defend themselves, the aggressors inciting a response are the victims of disproportionate Jewish violence (a demonstrable optical illusion).
Nothing is new here in the history of Christian and Muslim ruled societies! It’s been this way for 1600 years now, since the formation of gentile Christianity in the 4th century CE. I’m not saying that Jews can’t be in the wrong. I’m just saying that the world treats Jews as always, somehow, *being* in the wrong and deserving oppression and rebuke! And, because the oppressors indoctrinate their own on the myth from childbirth, there is – for most – no convincing them of historically verifiable truths.
The true victims in the Palestine-Israel conflict is not the Muslim and Marxist dictatorial overseers of Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza – the Palestinian National Authority (PA) and Hamas – nor is it Israel’s Likud party that has taken up the hateful cause of Hamas in reverse. It is the impoverished, abused, and murdered Palestians in the West Bank and Gaza who have *never* known freedom from occupation in the entire history of historical Palestine (formerly Judea-Israel, until the Romans renamed it by force of sword upon Jews). And, Jews who are indiscriminately injured and murdered by knife and rockets or abuducted and tortured (often to death) – if Jews dare step outside the Green Line of IDF protection – unleashed by Hamas and the PLO, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah.
Reality sucks! The true victims of Islamic supremacy, both Arabs and Jews together, are punished daily for the sins of the religious supremacy and corruption of the region. Lawless actors with weapons who terrorize Palestinians and Jews with impunity. But, it’s always the Jews fault, somehow. So says the myths and antisemitic tropes of white Christianity, since 4th century founding, and Arab Islam, since they took up the Nazi cause and beliefs about Jews in the 1930’s. All lose in this region, because of this – until the PA/PLO and Hamas dictatorships have been removed permanently from the lives of Palestians and Israelis, and actual history of historic Palestine is taught to the youth!

The Myth of Jewish “Colonialism”: Demographics and Development in Palestine
————-
Who are the actual indigenous of Palestine (formerly Judea-Israel, until the Roman Empire renamed her)? Seriously! What do the *statistics* have to say, by population numbers per century over the last 21 centuries?
(Reference point: in 8th century BCE – Judah, 300,000; Israel, 600,000)
1st century CE – 1,250,000 Jews in Palestine, 3,375,000 Jews in the Diaspora (then Roman Europe, Middle East, North Africa, and non-Roman/Byzantine Europe); Samaritans
2nd to 3rd centuries CE – 1,000,000 Jews in Palestine, 3,625,000 Jews in the Diaspora (then Roman Europe, Middle East, North Africa, and non-Roman/Byzantine Europe); Samaritans
4th century CE – 1,000,000 in Palestine, majority Jews, minority Christians, no Muslims
5th century CE – 1,000,000, majority Christians, minority Jews, no Muslims (the Christian majority was formed by Byzantine Christian forced conversions of Jews and Samaritans and European migrations to Palestine)
6th and 7th centuries CE – majority Christian, minority Jews (estimated to be 1/4 percent of Palestine population
8th through century 12th centuries CE – majority Christian, minority Jews, minority Muslims
(in 629 CE the Arabs invaded Palestine from the Hejaz, then again in 1187 CE and, this time, forced converted some Jews, Samaritans, and Christians to Islam)
13th through 15th centuries CE – majority Muslims, minority Christians, minority Jews in Palestine
1533–1539 CE – 5,000 Jews, 6,000 Christians, 145,000 Muslims
1690–1691 CE – 2,000 Jews, 11,000 Christians, 219,000 Muslims
1800 CE – 7,000 Jews, 22,000 Christians, 246,000 Muslims
1890 CE – 43,000 Jews, 57,000 Christians, 432,000 Muslims
1914 CE – 94,000 Jews, 70,000 Christians, 525,000 Muslims
1922 CE – 84,000 Jews, 71,000 Christians, 589,000 Muslims
1931 CE – 175,000 Jews, 89,000 Christians, 760,000 Muslims
1947 CE – 630,000 Jews, 143,000 Christians, 1,181,000 Muslims (both Jews and Muslim populations increased by 450,000 in the 16 year period of 1931 to 1947, one year away from British occupation overthrow of Palestine)
The point being made: the actual indigenous of the land never left, and Arabs migrated to the land in mass numbers after the 15th century CE. It is *imperative* that Jews and Arabs work together towards a confederation of two democratic nations on one land! This starts with joining together to rid Palestine of PA/PLO and Hamas, so West Bank and Gaza Palestinians *can* be free, finally!

“Boosting Palestinian autonomy would achieve the seemingly impossible. It would answer the Israeli public’s two contradictory wishes: Israel would exercise much less control over the Palestinians that it does now, but it would not become more threatened by them than it is now. … A prosperous and autonomous Palestine is essential if a final-status accord is ever to take shape.” For example, a Palestine-Israel confederation, two democratic states coexisting on the same land together in peace and mutual responsibility.
