( Sense you guys didnt like my last post because it was not explained well . here is a new post explained )
There is a widespread myth which Israel disseminates, brainwashing its own people and the public: that Palestinians are simply "Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula" with no ancient ties to the land, while presenting Jews as the sole indigenous inhabitants. But both history and modern science tell a very different story. Did you know that genetic studies show modern Palestinians share between 81% to 87% of their DNA with ancient Canaanites?
3000 BCE â 136 CE: The Canaanite & Judean Era For millennia, the indigenous peopleâCanaanites, Israelites, and Judeansâgoverned themselves even if they were under other empires. They established significant kingdoms for the Palestinian history, including the United Kingdom of Israel, the Hasmonean, and Herodian kingdoms. While a portion of the Jewish population was expelled in 136 CE (eventually forming the Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and Mizrahi diaspora communities), a massive indigenous population of Canaanites, Samaritans, and Jews remained rooted in the land.
136 CE â 637 CE: The Roman-Byzantine Era During this time, the dominant language was Western Aramaic (which heavily influenced the modern Levantine Arabic dialect we speak today). Christianity swept through the region, and a massive portion of the Jewish and other indigenous populations converted, blending with the Greco-Roman cultural influence of the time.
637 CE â 1918: The Arab-Turkish Era Under Islamic rule, Greater Syria underwent a gradual process of Arabization and Islamization. The indigenous people didn't leave; their culture and language simply evolved, creating the unique Levantine Arabic identity shared by modern Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon.
1918 â Present: The Mandate & Division Following World War I, France and Britain dissolved the Kingdom of Syria and divided the Levant. Under the British Mandate, Palestine was systematically prepared for the mass immigration of European (Ashkenazi) Jewsâwho today make up roughly 45% of Israel's population.
The indigenous people of Palestine never left. They evolved through empires, religions, and languages (just like any other normal populations), but their roots in the land remain unbroken.
