I have been writing and speaking recently about the lie of the indigenous Palestinian.
Truth be told the vast number of Arabs, who choose to attach the nom-de-guerre "Palestiian" to their identity, migrated into the area of pre-state Palestine from other countries were attracted to come by the develop of the land by the Jews, a development that began under Ottoman rule and exploded when the British deposed the Ottoman Turks.
People who wanted a passport to travel out of the British controlled area received a Palestinian passort.
I have written and spoken elsewhere of the give away to the lie of Arabs who claim to be indigenous to areas such as Judea and Samaria or elsehere in Israel is in their family, clan, or tribal name.
I recently came across written proof of this from British records.
The British Governor of the Sinai (which is now Egpyt) from 1922 to 1936 wrote; "This illegal immigration was not only going on from the Sinai, but also from TransJordan and Syria, and it is very dofficult to make a case out of the misery of the Arabs if at the same time rheir compatriots from adoininig states could not be kept from entering to share that misery."
It would be wrong to call Arab illicit immigrants as indigenous deeply-rooted Palestinians.
In the 30's, the British began restricting, even deporting, Jews even though the Hope Simpson contradictory Report of 1930 concluded that Arabs were being "displaced" by Jews even though its own pages revealed that there was an "uncontrolled influx of illegal Arab immigration through Egypt, Transjordan and Syria.
This report also concludes that "the case of the pseudo-traveller (Arabs) who come in with permission for a limited time, then continues to Palestine...is a method that is an "injustice" to the Jews.
The Simpson Repoet begged the question, "If large-scale Arab immigrtion was a recognised 'practice' how could official reports justify a conclusion that only Jewish population was increasing through immigration and even forcing out Arabs?" If Arabs were also coming in from other places then might their increase be attributed to this and not to the natural increase of present natives but mainly by immigration?
Truth be told, the land being developed by the Jews was being misappropriated by the Arabs. We see a modern verson of this in the Negev in which the bedouin drited into the area, pitched their tents and settled there illegally for decades.
The evidence of my case that Arabs, who now call themselves "Palestiinans," actually migrated into the area attracted by Jewish development linked to a British governance, is in their family names. Examples include;
al-Masri from Egypt.
al-Baghdadi, Zubeidi,al-Tikriti from Iraq.
al-Hijazi and al-Saud from Saudi Arabia.
al-Yamani and Murad from Yemen.
al-Hourani and Alawi from Syria.
al-Mughrabi from Morocco.
al-Lubnani and Tarabulsi from Lebanon.
There are many more examples. Suffice to say that Yasser Arafar was born in Egypt.
The Arab town of Shechem or Nablus, home of the Arab billionaire Munib al-Masri (see above listing) is not an Arab name. Shechem dates back to the Bible and Mount Gerazim, where Munib al-Masri built his elabotate Itailan-style palace which he calls "House of Palestine."
It was later renamed by the Romans Nablus in an affort to remove its Jewish origin, just as al-Masri is trying to do today.
So let's expose this basic lie that Palestinians are indigenous on the land.
Truth be told the Arabs went, in just over a century, from being migrant Arab fellahin to Palestinian fedayeen occupying Jewish land and attempting to claim it all for themselves.

BARRY SHAW was the founder of the Netanya Terror Victims Organization
after a wave of Palestinian terror attacks hit his hometown of Netanya
on the Mediterranean coast of Israel. These attacks included numerous
suicide bombings that forced him to question and research what drove the
Palestinian passion for hatred and violence. His research uncovered the
ugly truth that it had nothing to do with them having a state alongside
the Jewish State of Israel. Palestinian terror has been accompanied by a
global campaign to demonize Israel falsely accusing it of all of the
world’s ills. It is all part of a ruthless effort to eliminate Israel by
war, terror, or by a delegitimization process. This has led the author
to become the Special Consultant on Delegitimization Issues at the
Strategic Dialogue Center of the Netanya Academic College. He initiated
the International Conference on Countering the Assaults on Israel’s
Legitimacy that took place in Netanya in April 2012. Barry Shaw writes,
blogs, and is a prominent speaker in challenging the misconceptions of
the Middle East crisis as it applies to Israel. He puts down the results
of his research, experiences, and thoughts in “ISRAEL RECLAIMING THE
NARRATIVE”, a powerful book that places Israel on the moral high ground
where it rightly belongs.
