“Free Palestine”—the slogan, the fantasy, and the policy—has always consciously implied the mass murder of Jews in their towns, streets, shops, and living rooms. Few are willing to say so openly, but in many intellectual, professional, and popular circles in the Middle East and the West, the idea of Palestinian national liberation has long been framed in terms that condone or necessitate the indiscriminate killing of Jews. For more unambiguous actors such as Hamas and the Islamic Republic of Iran, freeing Palestine simply means the total eradication of Israel without qualification. This is not a polemical point, but a basic reality and fact of our lives that demands scrutiny.

Consider the ideological milieu in which many Arabs and Muslims have been raised. From infancy, Jew hatred is thoroughly inculcated within Islamic society. Every problem, every calamity that happens to the Muslim, it is because of the Jew. It is never the Muslim; they have no accountability. This is further underscored by the fact that Jew hatred is an integral part of Islam, which is taught and preached in mosques and madrassas throughout the world. And for many Muslims, the concept of Palestine was never a geopolitical issue; it was a deeply ingrained part of their collective moral identity, the unifying element of, both, religious and secular Arab nationalism. It was, and remains, a cause that resonates with Muslims politically, socially, and spiritually, often approaching a fervor that defies rationality.

The problems of this poisonous strain of thought are compounded by the concept that “freeing Palestine” is a species of resistance against foreign settler colonialists, a Fanonian revolution in which violence against civilians is defended as a legitimate means of achieving racial justice. The wholesale labeling of Israeli Jews—the vast majority of whom are refugees or descendants of refugees from Arab Muslim dictatorships and Soviet totalitarianism—as colonizers, settlers, and imperialists is in fact a type of collective ethnic punishment, nonsensical even on its own twisted terms, which recalls the medieval Christian denunciation of Jews as moral abominations, as a group and as individuals. You might have noticed that since October 7, 2023, that those committed to liberating Palestine can’t seem to avoid the abject dehumanization of the Jews as a people—and that their aim is not for Palestinians to simply live in peace, dignity, and freedom alongside Israelis, but a state that is necessarily established upon the ruins of Israel. Hamas is explicit in its intention to murder the Jewish population of Israel and enslave any survivors; its partisans in the Middle East and the West are coyer on this point.

Islamists articulate the fantasy of Jewish eradication in the language of jihad, framed in eschatological terms, and imbued with a sense of divine justice and cosmic warfare—what Westerners would ordinarily recognize as a type of religious fascism. But while the Islamist version of this idea is potent for the purposes of mobilizing the impoverished and uneducated masses, the “left-wing” or secular version—couched in the language of Fanon and Karl Marx, of human emancipation, equality, anti-capitalism, and social justice—is the more effective means of mobilizing opinion among the Western intelligentsia. The point is that they are two sides of the same coin, the value of which is set in Jewish blood.

For those who are shaped by such a world-view—whether the “right-wing” or the “left-wing” version, the religious or the atheistic—celebrating the murder of innocent Israeli civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, is an expression of the partial fulfillment of a moral vision.

The truth about the Palestinians is that before the 1960s, there was no such thing as a "Palestinian" people. They were invented as a propaganda weapon against Israel.

In 1948, the nascent state of Israel defeated forces from Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen that had been determined to destroy it utterly. The jihad against it continued, but it held firm, defeating Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon again in the Six-Day War in 1967, and Egypt and Syria yet again in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. In winning these victories against enormous odds, Israel won the admiration of the free world, leading to the largest-scale and most audacious application in Islamic history of Muhammad’s dictum “War is deceit.”

In order to destroy the impression of the tiny Jewish state facing enormous Muslim Arab foes and prevailing, the Soviet KGB (the Soviet Committee for State Security) developed the fiction of an even smaller people, the “Palestinians,” allegedly menaced by a well-oiled and ruthless Israeli war machine.

In 1964 the Soviet KGB and Hajj Amin al-Husseini’s nephew, Yasir Arafat created both these allegedly oppressed people and the instrument of their freedom — the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

Ion Mihai Pacepa, who had served as acting chief of Cold War-era Communist Romania’s spy service later revealed what happened:

"…The PLO Was Dreamt Up By The KGB, Which Had A Penchant For “Liberation” Organizations. There Was The National Liberation Army Of Bolivia, Created By The KGB In 1964 With Help From Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara … The KGB Also Created The Democratic Front For The Liberation Of Palestine, Which Carried Out Numerous Bombing Attacks.

In 1964 The First PLO Council, Consisting Of 422 Palestinian Representatives Handpicked By The KGB, Approved The Palestinian National Charter — A Document That Had Been Drafted In Moscow. The Palestinian National Covenant And The Palestinian Constitution Were Also Born In Moscow, With The Help Of Ahmed Shuqairy, A KGB Influence Agent Who Became The First PLO Chairman."

For Arafat to head the PLO, he had to be a made into a "Palestinian." Pacepa explained:

"[Arafat] Was An Egyptian Bourgeois Turned Into A Devoted Marxist By KGB Foreign Intelligence. The KGB Had Trained Him At Its Balashikha Special-Operations School East Of Moscow And In The Mid-1960s Decided To Groom Him As The Future PLO Leader.

First, The KGB Destroyed The Official Records Of Arafat’s Birth In Cairo, And Replaced Them With Fictitious Documents Saying That He Had Been Born In Jerusalem And Was Therefore A Palestinian By Birth."

Arafat and his Soviet handlers made copious use of Islamic anti-Semitism. KGB chief Yuri Andropov noted:

"[T]He Islamic World Was A Waiting Petri Dish In Which We Could Nurture A Virulent Strain Of America-Hatred, Grown From The Bacterium Of Marxist-Leninist Thought. Islamic Anti-Semitism Ran Deep. … We Had Only To Keep Repeating Our Themes — That The United States And Israel Were ‘Fascist, Imperial-Zionist Countries’ Bankrolled By Rich Jews...

Islam Was Obsessed With Preventing The Infidels’ Occupation Of Its Territory, And It Would Be Highly Receptive To Our Characterization Of The U.S. Congress As A Rapacious Zionist Body Aiming To Turn The World Into A Jewish Fiefdom."

PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein explained the strategy more fully in a 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw:

"The Palestinian People Does Not Exist. The Creation Of A Palestinian State Is Only A Means For Continuing Our Struggle Against The State Of Israel For Our Arab Unity. In Reality Today There Is No Difference Between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians And Lebanese. Only For Political And Tactical Reasons Do We Speak Today About The Existence Of A Palestinian People, Since Arab National Interests Demand That We Posit The Existence Of A Distinct “Palestinian People” To Oppose Zionism."

For Tactical Reasons, Jordan, Which Is A Sovereign State With Defined Borders, Cannot Raise Claims To Haifa And Jaffa, While As A Palestinian, I Can Undoubtedly Demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva And Jerusalem. However, The Moment We Reclaim Our Right To All Of Palestine, We Will Not Wait Even A Minute To Unite Palestine And Jordan."

Once the fictional people had been created, their desire for peace could be easily fabricated as well. Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu tutored Arafat in how to play the West like a fiddle. Pacepa recounted:

"In March 1978, I Secretly Brought Arafat To Bucharest For Final Instructions On How To Behave In Washington. “You Simply Have To Keep On Pretending That You’ll Break With Terrorism And That You’ll Recognize Israel — Over, And Over, And Over,” Ceausescu Told Him [Arafat]. … Ceausescu Was Euphoric Over The Prospect That Both Arafat And He Might Be Able To Snag A Nobel Peace Prize With Their Fake Displays Of The Olive Branch. …

Ceausescu Failed To Get His Nobel Peace Prize. But In 1994 Arafat Got His — All Because He Continued To Play The Role We Had Given Him To Perfection. He Had Transformed His Terrorist PLO Into A Government-In-Exile (The Palestinian Authority), Always Pretending To Call A Halt To Palestinian Terrorism While Letting It Continue Unabated.

Two Years After Signing The Oslo Accords, The Number Of Israelis Killed By Palestinian Terrorists Had Risen By 73 Percent."

This strategy continued to work beautifully, through U.S.-brokered “peace process” after “peace process,” from the 1978 Camp David Accords into the presidency of Barack Obama and beyond, with no end in sight. Western authorities never seem to ponder why so many attempts to achieve a negotiated peace between Israel and the “Palestinians,” whose historical existence everyone by now takes for granted, have all failed. The answer, of course, lies in the Islamic doctrine of jihad. “Drive them out from where they drove you out” is a command that contains no mitigation and accepts none.

The "Free Palestine" activists do not know that “Palestine” is an artificial nation and people with no distinctive traditions or culture of its own, created solely as a weapon to be used against Israel. The Palestinian Arabs are not distinguishable linguistically, culturally, ethnically, or religiously from the Arabs of Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan. The facts show the hollowness and ignorance of the supporters of "From the River to the Sea" genocidal rant. There is no Palestinian heritage, tradition, or culture other than hating Israel and wanting to destroy it. That’s why the Palestinian nationality was fabricated, and that’s why it exists; to demonize and delegitimize the Jewish state of Israel.

This has been furthered by Arafat’s successor, Mahmoud Abbas, as head of the Palestinian Authority. Abbas attended the USSR’s Patrice Lumumba University. PLU was an incubator for Communist terrorists and aspiring dictators around the world. The lesson that Abbas took away from the Communist influence operation was adopting the Soviet position that the Jews and the Nazis were in it together. This was the basis of his doctoral dissertation entitled: “The Other Face: The Secret Connections Between Nazism and the Leadership of the Zionist Movement.” He received his PhD in history in 1982, at the Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies. Two years later, Abbas published a book based on his dissertation. It is written in Arabic and, tellingly, has never been translated into any other language.

There is a reason for this: The book is inspired by and based on the work of SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann, one of the major organizers of the Holocaust. He participated in the January 1942 Wannsee Conference, at which the implementation of the genocidal Final Solution to the Jewish Question was planned. Following this, he was tasked by SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich with facilitating and managing the logistics involved in the mass deportation of millions of Jews to Nazi ghettos and Nazi extermination camps across German-occupied Europe. While he was a fugitive in Argentina, Eichmann formulated and disseminated Nazi propaganda according to which the Holocaust was a Jewish-Nazi conspiracy that sacrificed Jewish lives in order to create a Jewish state in Palestine. In his book, Abbas adopts this world-view wholesale.

The UN, born in 1945, never referenced any “Palestinians” in any UN resolution on the Arab-Israel conflict for its first twenty-five years. Prior to the birth of the State of Israel, the language of the Arab enemy of the Jews in Mandatory Palestine (1920-1948) was exclusively religious; not until the 1970s did the religious resistance to Zionism morph into a political movement of “national liberation.” Not until the General Assembly produced Res. 2672 on December 8, 1970, whose text referenced “the people of Palestine” and their “inalienable rights,” did the UN begin to lose its mind over the “Palestinians.” What followed was decades of an annual avalanche of hundreds of “pro-Palestinian” resolutions that has never ceased to this day.

The leader of the Arabs in Palestine 1920-1960 was Hitler's ally, Haj Amin a-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who angrily and murderously rejected the League of Nations’ Palestine Mandate of 1922 that created the new, post-WWI political jurisdiction called Palestine. Al-Husseini said there never was such a country in Islamic history and he was right. Never did Muslims know of a country with that name, let alone were familiar with its geography.

The Mufti even published a newspaper called “Southern Syria”/al-Suria al-Janubia" to combat the invention of a Palestine by the League of Nations because the Mandate explicitly defined the new polity as “the historic homeland” of the Jews.

What is today called the “West Bank” is what maps for thousands of years was labeled “Judea” and “Samaria.” For millennia, the Arabs had no names for Judea and Samaria and still do not. The “Palestinians” claim to be the indigenous people of the “West Bank” but, oddly, unlike authentic indigenes, like the Jews, they never named the territories’ natural features: mountains, rivers, lakes. In fact, UN General Assembly Partition Plan in 1947 said nothing of a “West Bank,” only “Samaria and Judea.”

In 134 AD, the Romans had expelled the Jews from Judea after the Bar Kokhba revolt and renamed the region "Palestine." The Romans had plucked this name from the Bible; it was the name of the Israelites’ ancient enemies, the Philistines. But never did the term “Palestinian” refer to anything but a region — not to a people or an ethnicity. The original Philistines were from the island of Crete in the Aegean Sea. The Arabs who refer to themselves as "Palestinian" are not related to the Philistines. And Islam did not appear until seven centuries after the Roman occupation of Judea.

Those who today identify as Palestinians and claim they were the indigenous population of the geography are actually third and fourth generation descendants of Arabs from surrounding countries. The Arabs were the actual colonizers and settlers who came to Palestine because of the economic opportunities brought about by Zionism. Winston Churchill recognized these undisputable facts. In 1922, he wrote in -"A Peace To End All Peace" - '' The Arabs would have sat in the dark forever had not the Zionists engineers harnessed the Jordan river for electrification. Now they swarm into Palestine in seeking the light.'' In the House of Commons, May 1939, he stated: "So far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into Palestine and multiplied until their population has increased more than even all world Jewry....'' The Peel Commission Report of 1937 stated: '' This illegal Arab immigration was not only going on from the Sinai, but also from Transjordan and Syria ...'' This same report cited the Nazi collaborator, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husseini admitting to Sir Laurie Hammond that all land had been legally purchased by the Zionists via the Jewish National Fund or individual philanthropists and absolutely no land had been stolen.

There is no "occupation of Palestine." There is nothing illegal about a Jewish presence in territories to which the Jewish state has legal, historical, biblical, and other binding and valid claims. The truth is that the Jewish people are indigenous to the land of Israel and first achieved self-determination there over 3,000 years ago. In spite of the Roman expulsion of Jews in 70 C.E., the Jewish people have always been present in the land of Israel. . This historical and religious link for Jewish people to the land of Israel is indisputable—even the word “Jew” comes from Judea, the ancient name for Israel. "Settler Colonialism" refers to an attempt by an imperial power to replace the native population of a land with a new society of settlers. This is not the case with the Jews, acting on their own behalf and not at the behest of an external power, returned to its historic homeland to achieve self-determination while simultaneously supporting the creation of a nation-state for another national group alongside the creation of their own state. The fiction of "settler colonialism" used by Hamas and the PA, point to one very clear fact: This has never been about land. It is because Israel is Jewish.

The fiction of "occupation," was first conceived between the 2nd and 4th Centuries C.E., from the writings and preachings of the early Church Fathers; like Origen of Alexandria (182–254 C.E.), and John Chrysostom (349-407CE). They established the erroneous teaching of replacement theology, also known as supersessionism which states: 1) The Jews should be charged with deicide and forever should be mistreated accordingly; and 2) The Church has replaced Israel, that all of the prophecies and covenants (i.e., Gen. 12:1-2,7; Gen. 15:18-21; Gen. 17:7; etc.) concerning the Jewish people are now applied to the Church; and God has no future purpose for the Jews; as they are in league with the Satan, forming a conspiratorial body bent on ruining and dominating the rest of mankind. Much of today's anti-Semitic conspiracies have their genesis in this doctrine. But nowhere in the Bible does it say that God has replaced and disowned the Jewish people. The church never was promised a land, never occupied a land, never was cast out of that land for her sin, and never was promised that she would be brought back into that land. The Church is not Israel. And, yes, the modern state of Israel is the biblical Israel.
