The Qur’an only came into existence about 670 AD. So, what this boils down to is that the so-called Palestinians are generic Arabs originally from Syria, and not accepted by the Arab world in general.

‘England was a care taker for what they termed Palestine.
Turkey, then known as the Ottoman Empire had full control but in 1917, lost control. The European nations that sided with Germany conquered the Ottoman Empire.
The League of nations at the San Remo Conference decided, and in fact designated Israel as the nation that should occupy and control the portion known as Palestine.The Jews were returned to the land as they were the indigenous people who resided there prior.
The narrative that muslims and arabs own the the land is absolute trash talk. Furthermore, the notion that Israel are occupiers is garbage which only idiots believe. However, very soon, migrants from the Middle East, including Syria, Libya, Yemen and Gaza, will be occupying Europe and then an occupation of a different nature will keep the media busy . ‘

‘It’s totally irrelevant whether the name Palestine ever exisited; the issue is that there were many non-Jews (mostly Muslims) living where modern-day Israel is, before 1948!? And they were forcibly removed!? Why is this history universally being denied?
Using your logic, you had better give up your home in Lyndhurst, and give it to the descendents of the South Sotho, who possibly were not the orignal settlers?’
