The Danger Zone (DZ)

Ok – enough of the Palestinian refugees already. Nuff said in Parts 25 to 27 of this series. The issue of illegal Muslim immigration into Palestine is huge when looking at what happened before the state of Israel was created in 1948. The worst part of it was that a lot of bad hats came in. That was what Colonel MacKereth called them in Part 19. He used that term to mean any of the Muslims that wer...

In 1939, Stalin did a deal with Hitler. He would get half of Poland, and other countries which aren’t important just now, although it was important for them, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and other countries, because he was also swiping parts of those other countries too. Anyway Hitler attacked Russia in 1941, before Russia could attack Germany, and then all hell broke loose for the next 4 y...

Remember that a person didn‘t have to be a Palestinian, or a refugee to be classified as a Palestinian refugee. Accurately counting the number of refugees that there were in 1948 has become much more important, and relevant today, when the Palestinian refugees include the children of a male Palestinian refugee, or the children that such a male Palestinian refugee adopted. In the roughly 75 years o...

Let me tell you a story. Mohammad was a Muslim. He was born in Syria on 23 June 1926. He was a citizen of Syria. There was fabulously well paid work for farm hands on the Jewish farms, which he heard about from one of his friends who, even now, was at the Jewish farm settlement at Petah Tikva. Ever since Mohammad heard about the ridiculous money they were paying, he wanted to go. He got his friend...

In Chapter 12 verse 3 of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, part of the Torah, which makes up the most sacred first 5 books of the Bible to the Jews, God makes a promise to Abraham, the first Jew, about the Jewish race. He promised this to Abraham: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee. The British were the people who came up with the idea of re-stor...

With the Muslim population numbers in Western Palestine, modern Israel, stable for over 200 years it’s hard to see how they suddenly had a massive surge in numbers. Unless … large numbers of Muslims came from other Muslim countries, and the Muslims living in the British Mandate, who had for hundreds of years gone anywhere else because that country was a barren wasteland – that is until the Jews st...

In my last programme I ended with the rather depressing note that the Jordanians, even though they‘d conquered a part of the lands that formed the British Mandate of Palestine in 1948 didn’t hand them over to the proud Muslim Palestinian people for their homeland. They clung onto those lands for 18 years until the Israelis retook them in the 1967 Six Day War. What’s more no voice was raised anywhe...

When did Muslim Palestinians, that we hear so much about today, come into existence? The Arab Conquest of the Holy Land happened in 635AD. So maybe you’re thinking over 1300 years ago. You’d be wrong if you thought that.  Muslims who call themselves Palestinians only began to happen after the Muslims, Egypt, Syria, Jordan were decisively defeated by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War. Not because any...

Now many of my listeners will not be religious Jews or Christians. So they may not believe anything that I’m about to say, but I promise you that at the very least I’m going to tell you a good yarn And the facts of what have happened must make even those doubters, doubt. In 1995 the prime minister of Israel was Yitzak Rabin. On 5 October, he signed the Oslo Peace Agreement with the Palestinians. I...

The British Mandate over Palestine didn’t give England the same control as they had over one of their colonies or Dominions of the British Empire. The British, who had conquered the Middle East from the Ottoman Empire, and whose Lord Balfour had come up with the inspired idea of creating a homeland for the Jews in their traditional home, the Promised Land that God had given them, were put in charg...

The Muslims who were willing to negotiate a settlement of their disputes were either dead or didn’t want to be dead so were never going to speak up in favour of a settlement with the Jews ever again. The Grand Mufti had done such a good job, that even today there are no so-called Palestinian Muslims that will speak up in favour of some amicable solution with the Jews over anything. The British had...

When you hear Muslims, especially the new type of Muslims called Palestinians, speaking about Israel, all you ever hear is blind hatred directed at that nation and the Jews. Well the Zionists. In the last programme I told you about the subtle distinction that had grown up. It was supposedly not anti-semitic to say that you hated Zionists. It was anti-semitic to say that you hate Jews. But since a...

It was straight forward to set up the new homeland for the Jews after the League of Nations approved putting the Balfour Declaration into effect. Step One – allow all Jews who want to go to Israel to go there without any restrictions. Make sure it’s a safe welcoming place. The British government did the opposite. Step Two – Stop Muslims from countries outside the British Mandate entering into the...

Thanks to the Muslim riots in April 1920, the Nabi Musa riots, the League of Nations quickly acted to confirm the appointment of Britain to be in charge of the Palestine Mandate, which had the duty to implement the provisions of the Balfour Agreement. I’ll talk about that in a moment. The fact that the riots did this was a first and only goal where Muslim resort to violence of this kind worked aga...

The last Turkish soldier left Jerusalem by St Stephen’s Gate at 7 am on 9 December 1917. By coincidence that was the first day of Jewish Hanukkah, the festival of lights. Hanukkah celebrated the liberation of Israel from the occupying forces of the Seleucid Empire, under Seleucus Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 134BC. But then the Jewish rabbis say that there’s no such thing as a coincidence, the hand o...

In a previous programme I talked about how Kaiser Wilhelm II, well before the Great War, has positively drooled at the thought of winning Jewish favour and support. The Kaiser was definitely anti-Semitic. He believed in the international Jewish conspiracy but vast amounts of money were waiting there to be tapped by a friend of the Jews – him for Germany. He had met with Sultan, Abdulhamed to plead...

Which of the great European powers offered the best chance for the Jews to realise their own homeland wasn’t clear. The Ottoman Empire was there, and the Holy Lands were part of that Empire. Any Jewish homeland inside the Ottoman Empire wouldn’t be a free independent country. Theodor Herzl, the head of the Zionist movement (the movement to win a homeland for the Jews) had travelled to the courts o...

The rich Muslims, the effendi, who owned a great deal of land in Palestine, whether they lived in Jerusalem or not, had a lot of influence with the local administrator of those lands. The most important of the local administrators, appointed by Constantinople, was the Sultan. There was also a lot of attention paid to Palestine in Constantinople the capital of the Ottoman Empire. The newly establis...

In my last programme I told you about the restrictions that the Muslim world started to impose to stop Jews who were living in other Muslim countries, or in European countries emigrating to the Holy Lands – the land given to them by God. They had been the native inhabitants of those lands since 1406BC, up until the time that the Arab invasion happed in 635AD. So there were no Muslim natives to tha...

For the longest time, there had been many Jewish leaders who had revived discussion in the Sephardic Jewish community – the Jews who lived under Muslim rule in North Africa and the Middle East, including the Ottoman Empire - about actually doing something about returning to the Promised Land. That was the land that God had promised Moses that the Jews would have forever – on one condition - that t...

On 13 November 1974 Yasser Arafat addressed the United Nations. He told them that from 1881 the Jewish invasion began of the verdant area inhabited mainly by an Arab people in the course of building its life and dynamically enriching its indigenous culture. Everything he said was true. Well not that there was a Jewish invasion. There was no Jewish state so how could they invade a part of the world...

What were things like for the peasant farmers, the fellahin, living and farming in Palestine after the Ottoman Empire took over from the Mamluks in the 1880s when the Zionist invasion began and the land was forcibly taken from those peasant farmers?  According to Yasser Arafat’s speech to the UN on 13 November 1974 it would have been thanks to an enlightened system of government that let to Palest...

Yasser Arafat, in his speech at the United Nations on 13 November 1974, declared that the Jewish invasion (his words not mine) of Israel began with Zionism in 1881. Then on 29 November 1947, the United Nations passed Resolution 181 for the partition of the British Mandate of Palestine, modern day Israel and Jordan, into Jewish and non-Jewish areas. This led to the creation of the modern states of...

The Jews have claimed, especially since 1881, that they needed their own separate homeland. The land they claim is the land that they have occupied since about 1406 BC when Joshua led the children of Israel into God’s Promised Land. The Jews have lived there continuously, and in large numbers ever since. All sorts of empires have conquered and ruled them. The Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Medo-P...

From 1917, but even before that, there was a lot of pressure in the West to create a state for the Jews as their homeland. In a secular way, to give back to them the Holy Lands that God had given them under Moses. On 14 May 1948 that happened. But it happened in part thanks to a new movement amongst the Jews, known as Zionism – a homeland for the Jews. That movement had started in Europe (particul...
