 | | Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasir Arafat and Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin met in the United States on September 13, 1993, to witness the signing of the agreement. | | | A 1922 statement of British policy denied Zionist claims to all of Palestine and limited Jewish immigration, but reaffirmed support for a Jewish national home. | | | The horrors of the Holocaust produced world sympathy for European Jewry and for Zionism, and although Britain still refused to admit 100,000 Jewish survivors to Palestine, many survivors of the Nazi death camps found their way there illegally. |

| | PALESTINE - LoveToKnow Article on PALESTINE |
| | The land was not denuded, and the fact that some scores of thousands of Jews remained in Judah through all the period of the exile,1 even though they were the poorest of the land, revolutionizes ordinary notions of this period. | | | Henceforth the history of Palestine is disconnected and fragmentary, and the few known events of political importance are isolated and can be supplemented only by inferences from the movements of Egypt, Philistia or Phoenicia, or from the Old Testament. | | | In Palestine, on the other hand, the downfall of the old monarchies and the infusion of new blood gave fresh life to the land. |

| | Al-Ahram Weekly Region Reconstructing Palestine |
| | In its pages 15,000 sq km of Palestine are carefully mapped as they were in 1948, on the eve of the creation of Israel. | | | While history is replete with acts of destruction and the expulsion of people from their homelands there has never been such a total and deliberate obliteration of history, of place names and written records and the replacement of those names and their history, as has occurred in Palestine. | | | Its documentation of Jewish war crimes, ethnic cleansing and atrocities (many of which are sourced to Israeli historians) could easily form the basis for a war crimes tribunal. |

| | Palestinian-Israeli Conflict Resolution |
| | The Palestinians see the Israelis as neo-colonialists from Europe and ignore the historical presence of people of the Jewish faith that has existed in the Palestine region for thousands of years. | | | This is a major step, especially since the Palestinians, and many of Israel's neighbours, don't acknowledge the legitimacy of the state of Israel. | | | Perhaps it is the approach of the peacemakers that is flawed, offering land to the Palestinians in return for peace and security. |

| | Arab presence in Palestine region - Minnesota Daily |
| | Justin McCarthy’s exhaustive demographic study of the area in question, “The Population of Palestine,” dismisses any claim of significant Arab immigration during the Ottoman and Mandatory periods or significant Arab in-migration due to Jewish settlement and enterprise. | | | For example, Ahad Ha’am said in his 1891 essay “Truth from Palestine” that all arable land was already settled by Arabs. | | | If you read Alexander Scholch’s study “European Penetration and the Economic Development of Palestine 1856-1882,” you will find that the Palestinians before the aliyas (mass Jewish migrations) were already maintaining a remarkable economic balance sheet, making the region far from being a “desert,” as Nahmias claims. |

| | History of Israel and Palestine in VERY Easy To Understand Maps |
| | The Jews had already begun mass immigration into Palestine in the 1880's in an effort to rid the land of swamps and malaria and prepare for the rebirth of Israel. | | | In other words, the eastern 3/4 of Palestine would be renamed TWICE, in effect, erasing all connection to the name "Palestine!" However, the bottom line is that the Palestinian Arabs had THEIR "Arab Palestinian" homeland. | | | The Crusades, The Spanish Inquisition, the Arab rampages of early Palestine and particularly the Holocaust), planned and executed a perfect pre-emptive strike against Egypt. |

| | It was not until after the Jews had changed deserts and swamps into a productive and thriving land that the Arabs started migrating there. | | | Rather, these are Arabs living in a region that historically has been called many things, including "Palestine." | | | Husseini said: "We must distinguish the strategies and long-term goals from the political-phased goals which we are compelled to accept due to international pressures." But the "ultimate goal is the liberation of all of historical Palestine." Explicitly he said: "Oslo has to be viewed as a Trojan Horse." |
