"A young boy rushed to his mother who was cooking in the kitchen, 'Mom, Dad left for work without his glasses, didn't he?'Frowning, the Mother asked, 'Yes dear. How did you know?''The garage door is missing,' her son replied.""When we refer to a subject, place, or person in the phrase 'the question of,' we imply some different things," said Jasmine while entering Miqat Dhu al-Ḥulayfah, also known as Masjid ash-Shajarah, a miqat and mosque in Abyar Ali, Medina, west of Wadi al-'Aqiq, where the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the state of ihram before performing 'Umrah, after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah."When we say 'And now I come to the question of X', the point here is that X is a matter apart from all the others, and must be dealt with apart. Another way of using, “the question of” is to refer to some long-standing, particularly intractable and insistent problem: the question of rights, the Eastern question, or the question of free speech. Uncommonly, 'the question of' can be used in such a way as to suggest that the status of the thing referred to in the phrase is uncertain, questionable, unstable: the question of the existence of a Loch Ness monster, for example.The use of 'the question of' in connection with Palestine implies all three types of meaning mentioned. Like the Orient of which it is a part, Palestine exists in another world from the habitual Atlantic one. Palestine is also in some way what the most thorny international problem of postwar life is all about: the struggle over, for, and in Palestine, which has absorbed the energies of more people than any other for a comparable period of time. Finally, Palestine itself is a much debated, even contested, notion.The Zionist Jews, based on the stories narrated in the Torah, or probably in Tanakh, claim that they are the indigenous people of Palestine and that this land belongs only to them. It is easy to refute this claim. Prophet Musa (Moses) came to Palestine in the 13th century B.C. Indeed, the great history of Palestine starts far before this age. Traces found in Palestine show that it was inhabited since the early Stone Age (500 000-14,000 B.C.) and continued to be inhabited in the middle Stone Age (14,000-8,000 B.C.) when the first known civilization in human history, the Natufian Civilization, started. Natufians took their name from the caves in the area north of present-day Al-Quds (Jerusalem); in 8000 B.C. they established Jericho, which was the first form of human settlement, i.e. the first city in history. The recorded history of Palestine started with the migration of Semitic groups from the Arabian Peninsula. These groups included the Amorites, the Canaanites; and the Jebusites, and the Phoenicians, who were all sub-groups of the Canaanites.Palestine was known since ancient history as Kan’an land, where it was mentioned in the reports of one of the army leaders to King Mary. In addition, this name is found inscribed clearly on the obelisk of Adrimi, who was the king of Alkha (Tal Al-A’tshenah) during the middle of the fifth century before Christ. The origin of the word Palestine, as it was mentioned in the Assyrian records during the era of the king of Assyria (Addizary III) around the year 800 B.C. comes from the word Philsta, where he had inscribed on his obelisk that in the fifth year of his reign, his forces had submitted Palastu under his control, and compelled its people to pay taxes. Also the word Palestine was mentioned by Herodotus on Aramean basis, as we find him using it in referring to a place on the south part of Syria or (Palestinian Syria) nearby Finithya till the Egyptian boundaries. Moreover, the Romanian historians, like Agathar Chides, Strabo, and Diodoru had used such naming.According to what the archeological discoveries have revealed, scientists agreed that man lived on the Palestinian land, he is known as the man of erect stature. Those ancestors were primarily hunters, who traveled in search of different herds of animals. Worth mentioning that prehistoric man during that period had passed through different development phases, where he began to develop his hunting maneuvers and his tools made of stone. During the third phase of the Stone Age, the thinking man appeared, where the knife made of long blades, constituted the primary tool used in this period. Remnants of that man were discovered inside caves in Palestine, like Al-Amira cave, Irc Al-Ahmar, Al-wad, Kubarah, and other places in the Negev desert. This phase marks the beginning of human gatherings, which represented a developed social form, even though such groups remained surviving on hunting and gathering of provisions.During that phase, man progressed from the phase of gathering to that of production, where he started to search for the spots of water to settle around, and collect the seeds of small plants like wheat, barley to plant them, in addition to practicing hunting. Thus that phase from the Stone age was distinguished by stability, and development of the means of life and production, especially after man discovered pottery, and used it in building and manufacturing of tools.According to the archeological discoveries in Egypt and Iraq, the Semites are considered the most ancient known nations, who lived on Palestinian soil since the fourth millennium before Prophet 'Isa (عليه السلام). They used to inhabit the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. As for the religious aspect, the Semites are considered—originally—the tribes descending from Shem, the eldest son of Prophet Nuh (عليه السلام). What is confirmed, is that the original ancient inhabitants of Palestine were all Arab, who migrated from the Arabic Peninsula following a drought that struke it. Thus, they lived in their new native country 'Canaan' for more than two thousand years before the appearance of the ProphetMusa (عليه السلام) and his followers.According to the documented assessments, the famous Canaanite migration from the Arabic Peninsula occurred during the mid-third millennium before Christ. A group of researchers have deduced that the Canaanites had settled in the country since the beginning of the third millennium, basing their assumption on Egyptian Archeological discoveries, while others believe that the presence of the Canaanites dates back to seven thousand years ago and that tracing the monuments in their ancient cities, the most ancient of which is 'Ariha' that stands erect till our day, and which is considered the most ancient city on earth. Although assessments of the precise beginning of the Canaanite presence have oscillated, what is unanimously agreed upon is that they were the first to inhabit this region among the ancient nations that were present at that time, and they were the first to erect on the soil of Palestine a civilization. It was mentioned in the Hebrew writings that Canaanites were the original inhabitants of the country, and it is also mentioned in the Torah that they were the Amorite people. One of the most ancient cities that exist till our day is Ariha, Jericho, Asdod, Acco, Gaza, Al-Majdal, Jaffa, Askelan and Bisan. There are also many cities and villages, some of which still remain till our day, and others have perished. The metropolis of Canaan was Shekeem.According to the documented assessments, the famous Canaanite migration from the Arabic Peninsula occurred during the mid-third millennium before Christ.

There are also many cities and villages, some of which remain to our day, and others have perished. The metropolis of Canaan was Shekeem.The Canaanites were renowned for cultivation and industry, they had excelled in mining, manufacturing of pottery, glass, clothes, and textile. In addition, they excelled in the art of architecture. Music and literature come on the top of the Canaanite civilization, where no other Semite population had ever cared for art and music like the Canaanites did, as they had quoted a lot from the music of the different nations, which took of the ancient Near East, home to them. As music constituted one of the worshipping rituals for Canaanites, thus their music rhythms, and instruments had spread all over the region. No one can gainsay that art and literature are the epitome of civilization. Thus there is no wonder when we trace the Israeli writings, we discover the great effort exerted by the Israelis to delude the whole world into thinking that they were the erectors of that grand civilization, and the composers of hymns, songs, and chanting. They had succeeded in making this falsehood a fact in the eyes of many. But the great trusted historians like 'Bristed' described the flourishing Canaanites city when the Hebrews entered it, as a city that contained luxurious and comfortable houses, a city that knew the industry, trade, writing, and temples, thus it had a civilization, which the primitive Hebrew shepherds had emulated, hence they deserted their tents, and imitated them in building houses. Moreover, they took off the leather that they used to wear in the desert, to put on colorful wool clothes, and as time lapsed, it became hard to differentiate between the Canaanites and the Hebrews in their outward appearance. Then after the coming of the Palestinians from the seaside, and the Israelis from Jordan, the land of Canaan was split among three nations. Henceforth the Canaanites no longer became the sole masters of the country. Nevertheless, the Canaanite language remained the prevailing one. Since the dawn of recorded history, namely five thousand years ago, till the British mandate in the year 1920, Palestine had known only three languages: Canaanite language in the first place, then Aramean language, which was the language of Prophet 'Isa (عليه السلام), and thirdly the Arabic language.At the beginning of the second millennium B.C., cities had started to witness a certain vivacity, and new modes of architecture and cemeteries appeared, in addition to creating new forms of pottery and weapons. Moreover, this phase was distinguished by developed commercial and political relationships in most ancient Eastern regions, particularly, Egypt, Bilad Al-Sham, north of Syria, and east of Turkey. Besides, such a phase was marked by the development of pottery manufacturing and the way of selecting the clay and mixing it, then molding it into shapes using a speedy wheel, thus producing elegant and versatile vessels. On the other hand, this phase was distinguished by a thorough Egyptian hegemony over Bilad Al-Sham during the reign of the eighteenth and nineteenth dynasties, who conquered the last of the Hixos kings around the year 1567 B.C., and that through the campaigns embarked by Thutmose III on Bilad Al-Sham around the year 1480 B.C., also it is characterized by the disappearance of the strong fortresses backed up by compact layers of mud that the Hixos built. Worth mentioning here, that during that period, Palestine had witnessed a state of turmoil that affected the region from the northern and middle districts with the beginning of the reign of the eighteenth dynasty, and that after the expulsion of the Hixos from Egypt and their chasing them away till Sharohin in the north of Palestine. Such events were recorded in detailed manuscripts since the era of Thutmose III, among such manuscripts, one relates the battle of Megiddo which was under the leadership of the King of Megiddo and King of Qadish on the Syrian part, who formed a coalition, to which more than one thousand and twenty cities entered. Such an event was also mentioned in one of Thutmose’s III topographical manifests, also such scripts were found inscribed in one of the obelisks that were erected in Karnak and Memphis.During that period the Palestinians considered themselves the legitimate successors to the Egyptian authority in Palestine, thus they held sway over most of its parts. They are usually referred to as the inhabitants of the Palestinian coast, where they established a number of the main cities, like Gaza, Askalan, Asdoud, A’qir, Tal As-Safy, and others. The Canaanite impact had manifested itself over the Palestinians, such effect can be traced in the names of their deities, like Dagon and A’shtartout, also the religious life of the inhabitants of the Palestinian coast has its Canaanite origin, in addition to their religious edifices, most prominent of which is the consecutive series of temples in Tal Al- Kasilah that was built according to the fashion of Canaanite temples, with a touch of Egyptian architecture. On the other hand, there were claims made by Israeli archeologists concerning the origin of some archeological discoveries and architectures, which they attributed to the old Israelis, and which was known in the foreign sources as 'collared-rim jar'.The Canaanites, and to a lesser degree the Jebusites, settled in large numbers in the Mountains of Palestine; the Phoenicians settled in Northern Palestine and Lebanon; and the Amorites settled in Jordan. The Canaanites became the dominant population group of Palestine and consequently, the land was named after them (The Land of Canaan), a name used even in the Torah. The Canaanites built more than 200 cities and villages; including Shechem (known now as Nablus), Akka (Acre), Haifa, Asdud, Beer Al-Sabe' (Beersheba) and Beit Lahm (Bethlehem). Excavations in the sites of the ancient Syrian civilization of Ugarit, which was affected to a large extent by the Canaanites, discovered a huge amount of cuneiform inscriptions that revealed a lot about the Canaanite religion and mythology. They were stunningly similar to the mythology of the Torah, leading to the conclusion that the Jewish rabbis depended much on the Canaanite literature in writing the Torah, but attributed it to themselves or even to God. Indeed, the Temple of Solomon, mentioned in the Torah, is very much similar to the House of Bacal (built by the Canaanites in the same city in 2600 B.C.); Bacal was the Canaanite god of fertility.Prophet Ibrahim (عليه السلام) came to this land around the year 1900 B.C.; in narrating this story the Torah called the area 'The Land of Canaan', admitting the existence of a civilization on this land prior even to the coming of Prophet Ibrahim, the great grandfather of Arabs and Jews. His grandson, Ya'qoob (Jacob or Israel), from whom Jews descended, migrated with his children from the Land of Canaan to Egypt, where they stayed until 1250 B.C. when Moses took them to the Holy Land.The History of the Jews in Palestine started during this period, between 1250-1000 B.C., but they managed only to settle in a few areas, around Al-Quds and in the north. From that time, the reign of Prophets Dawud and Sulayman (عليهم السلام) started, marking the real beginning of the Jewish reign over Palestine. The reign of the two Prophets lasted only for 80 years (1004-923 B.C.).The word 'Israel' refers to Jacob (عليه السلام), who was the son of Isaac and the grandson of Ibrahim (عليهم السلام), who was the father of this nation. Ibrahim was born in the city of Ur of Chaldees, he arrived at the land of Canaan around the twentieth or twentieth-one century B.C., after leaving his country along with some members of his family to worship Allah acting upon the Divine Revelations sent down to him, as his clan used to worship idols, while he was a monotheist. Haran situated in the eastern north between Euphrates and Khabour, was his first stop, where his father 'Tarih' passed away. He then proceeded to arrive at Shakim (Nablus). Ibrahim begot his elder son, Ishmael (عليه السلام) grandfather of the Arab, from his wife Hajar (عليها السلام), then he had his second son Isaac (عليه السلام) from his wife Sarah (عليها السلام), who is the grandfather of the Jews. Isaac then begot Esau and Jacob (Israel), who begot 12 sons, each of whom was a forebear of one of the tribes of the Jews. Among the sons of Jacob was Joseph (عليهم السلام), whose brethren out of grudge and envy cast him into a well in the desert, and claimed that he was killed. Then a group of pedestrians found him, and he was sold to Egyptian traders, and there Joseph joined in the service of Pharaoh, where he wielded great authority, thus he sent after his father and brothers. Thereof the family of Jacob moved to Egypt. No one knows when did the Pharaoh of Egypt turn against them, and started to subjugate and torture them, till the Prophet Moses started to think of emigration. Upon the Mount, Allah inspired Moses to return to Egypt and save his clan, and take them out of Egypt. Thereof Moses and Haroun (عليه السلام) returned to Egypt to get their clan out, and henceforth the travel of dispersion began, which was around the year 1227 B.C.. During that period the people of Moses renegaded and worshipped the calf, upon which the Ten Commandments were descended, then the people of Israel remained in a state of stray for forty years.Following the death of Sulayman (Solomon), the 12 Jewish tribes engaged in a dispute over who would take the throne:The Kingdom of Israel (923-721 B.C.): 10 of the Jewish tribes did not support Rehoboam, the son of Sulaiman, and preferred to have Yeroboam from the tribe of Ephraim as their king. They established the Kingdom of Israel, with Shechem, Terza, and finally, Samaria as its capital, which had, however, progressively disintegrated by a wave of incursions and invasions, until it finally collapsed at the hands of the Assyrians under Sargon II. The latter expelled the Jews of these ten tribes and took them to the areas of Iraq, Kurdistan, and Persia where they integrated with the local people and remained there.The Kingdom of Judah: (923-586 B.C.): the remaining two tribes supported Rehoboam and established the Kingdom of Judah, with Jerusalem as its capital. It lasted longer than its counterpart, but was weak and subjected to strong foreign influence. The rulers of Assyria and Egypt invaded Jerusalem frequently, but the kingdom continued until the time of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, who destroyed it and enslaved 40,000 Jews, while the remaining Jewish population escaped to Egypt.Palestine was then incorporated into the Persian Empire (539-332 B.C.). Cyrus II, the Persian Emperor, allowed the Jews to leave Babylon to Palestine. Few of them left and settled in Jerusalem, where they were allowed to establish their autonomy over a radius of 20 km around the city (around 2.8% only of the area of contemporary Palestine). The rest remained in their new home, Babylon, and seemed to have settled there permanently.In 332 B.C., Alexander the Macedonian conquered Palestine which was subjected to Hellenistic rule. Despite continuous wars over the area between the generals of Alexander, the Jewish autonomy remained untouched in the early Hellenistic rule under the Ptolemies, the rulers of Egypt, who managed to control the area from 332 B.C. until 198 B.C. However, things changed when the Seleucids, the rulers of Syria, defeated the Ptolemies and captured the areas they controlled in Syria and Palestine in 213 B.C. By 198 B.C. the Seleucids forced the Jews to abide by Greek traditions and faith, but they later revolted and once more gained a kind of autonomy over Jerusalem that fluctuated between strength and weakness according to the hegemony of the surrounding powers.From 135 A.D. until the beginning of the twentieth century, the Jews did not have any form of physical ties with Palestine or Jerusalem. However, they claim that their spiritual ties with Jerusalem have always been maintained and that they would have gone there, had the political conditions allowed them to do so. However, this claim seems to be untrue and exaggerated, especially when we bear the following facts: When the Persian Emperor Cyrus II allowed the Jews back from Babylon, only a minority returned, while the rest continued to stay in their places of deportation. Historians note also that the number of Jews who stayed in Jerusalem before its destruction in the first century was less than one-third of the total population of Jews at that time, (though their autonomy reached the form of a small independent kingdom between 141-27 B.C.). Even today, 60% of the world’s Jews live outside the Zionist state and refuse to migrate to “the homeland”, especially those who enjoy prosperous economic conditions in the U.S. and Western Europe.Indeed, going back to Palestine was religiously prohibited until the beginning of the twentieth century and the emergence of Zionism. Jews believed that God had deprived them of living in Palestine because of their evil deeds, and they could only go back when the Messiah, their savior, came and guided them to good again. Any Jew who called for going back to Palestine to establish a Jewish community there was considered a heterodox.Muslims, under the leadership of the Caliph Umar, opened the area in the year 636 A.D.T5 H. Umar (رضي الله عنه) had personally taken the keys of Jerusalem from its Patriarch and undertook to grant the people freedom of religion, and the right to keep their churches in the famous Covenant of Umar (Al-'Uhda Al-'Umariyyah'). The city witnessed no bloodshed this time. Since then, most of the population, who descended from the Canaanites and Philistines, embraced Islam. During the Umayyad Caliphate, the Dome of the Rock, one of the finest pieces of architecture on earth, was built on the rock from which Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) started his journey to heaven (Mi'raj). The local population integrated with the immigrants who came from the Arabian Peninsula and adopted their Arabic language.The continuous Muslim rule was interrupted by the Crusades. The Crusaders managed to occupy Al-Quds (Jerusalem) in 1099 A.D.; they inflicted the city with the worst bloodshed that it had ever witnessed. The established 'the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem' that continued for 88 years until it was crushed by the sword of Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi (Saladin). After the battle of Hittin in July 1187, Salahuddin marched to Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and returned it to the Muslims on 2 October 1187 A.D.For 1200 years, Palestine was inhabited and ruled by Muslims. For the first time since the time of the early Canaanites, this land was ruled and inhabited by the same people. The Muslim era was the longest in the history of Palestine and was only interrupted by the brutal Crusades. Until 1918, followers of the three faiths, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, experienced peace and harmony in Palestine for most of this era, thanks to the accommodating Muslim rule.The establishment of 'Israel' was declared in 1948 over 20770 km, i.e, 77% of the land of Palestine that was acquired through war. The new state was declared to be a Jewish State with a Jewish population of 650,000. The official name of 'Israel” is: “State of Israel”, in Hebrew it is referred to as 'Medinat Yisra'el', its claimed capital is Jerusalem (Al-Quds) and official languages are Hebrew and Arabic. Israel is a parliamentary democracy, but it does not have any formal written constitution due to ongoing disagreements over basic rights and definitions among the various Zionist schools. The Executive authority is headed by the Prime Minister, while the President is an honorary head of the state. The Prime Minister is elected directly through popular vote, but starting from the 2003 elections he was elected by Parliament.One of the main features of the 'Israeli' political system is diversity in political views and therefore in parties. Another major feature of the political system is the important role played by the army in the electoral process. Members of the armed forces are allowed to vote, and retired army members are usually welcomed to join Israeli political parties. Indeed, most of the political figures that ruled Israel, especially during last years, served for a long time in the armed forces. 'Israel' has a blooming military industry and is the fifth leading exporter of weapons in the world. Throughout its military encounters with the Arabs, Israel has propagated the notion of its 'invincible army', in order to convince the Arabs of the futility of military confrontation with the 'Jewish State', i.e. the idea of vanquishing Israel should be vanquished itself. However, it should be noted here that Israel won its wars mainly because of lack of organization and equipments from the Arab side, and not the opposite. The Arab and Israeli soldiers rarely met in a battlefield, most of the time the war ended before such a confrontation took place, mainly due to an Arab failure at the organizational level.During its more than 75 years of history, 'Israel' succeeded in building an advanced, stable, and export-oriented economy that did not depend highly on foreign aid before. The economy is based mainly on industrial activities, information technology, and tourism. “Israel” has the most developed infrastructure for information technology in the Middle East and was among the leading countries in the IT industry until the beginning of the Intifada. Throughout its development, “Israel” managed to invert the balance of trade with the U.S. in its favor, making the U.S. the first trade partner of'Israel', while 'Israel' is the 20 in rank with the U.S.One of the most important factors that helped the growth of the 'Israeli' economy to grow is that it formed for itself an important market in theoccupied territories that is totally under its control. Another important factor that boosted the 'Israeli' economy was the Oslo agreement and the consequential period of peace that gave “Israel” the opportunity to find its way to Arab and Muslim markets that were closed in its face for long.Even if we assume that Palestine belonged to the Jews as a race, there is no evidence that today’s Jews are the direct descendants of the ancient Jews. On the contrary, historical evidence suggests that they are not. Most of the Jews living in today’s world are descendants of the Khazar Jews, a Tartars-Turkish tribe that lived in the Caucuses around the area of the Caspian Sea. Its king, Bulan, became a Jew, probably for strategic reasons, in 740 A.D., and the whole tribe adopted Judaism. Their kingdom was destroyed by a Russo-Byzantine alliance, and the Khazar Jews dispersed in Russia and Eastern Europe. 90% of today’s Jews, known as the Ashkenazim, come from this origin. Consequently, if the Jews of our days ask to live in the land of their ancestors, it is to southern Russia where they should go, not Palestine. Commenting on the Jewish history in Palestine after the destruction of their two kingdoms, the famous historian G.H. Wales records in his concise history that 'The life of the Hebrews in Palestine was like the life of a man who insists to live in the middle of a busy road so he is always struck by vehicles'.Strong criticism of Zionism, came from Henry H. Klein, he put it like this, 'That is the issue that confronts the people of the United States. It is peaceful constitutional government or terroristic United Nations government. The United Nations is zionism. It is the super government mentioned many times in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, promulgated between 1897 and 1905.Zionism is a political program for the conquest of the world. Zionist leaders control the United States, Great Britain, France, Russia and other countries of Europe and they are using communism to control the rest of the world. They control the atomic and hydrogen bombs.The United States finances world zionism. We support the UN, the international bank, Palestine and many other countries. Our wealth has been scattered to the four winds to satisfy zionist and money gang purposes.The aim of zionism is to enslave the people. That is clearly stated in the Protocols, which were written by Theodor Herzl or Asher Ginsberg, backed by the Rothschilds. They breathe hatred of christianity and have been handed down in different forms since Jesus revolted against the Sanhedrin.'Dr. Muhammad 'Imarah writes, 'The Palestinian issue was—and still is—the endless torrential fountain for Islamic feeling against the 'Zionist-Colonial' challenges that surround al-Aqsa Mosque, al-Quds ash-Sharif, and the whole of Palestine.Since the Zionist danger threatens all Muslim territories from Ghana to Indonesia and from the Volga River to the South of the Equator, this issue symbolizes the conflict between the Muslims and the enemies of Islam in any place and at any time. Also, it is the gate of victory for the Muslim Ummah over its enemies and against all the challenges of the New World Order.'The modern rule of the Zionists has been based on violence and tyranny; it displaced others and deprived them of their basic rights. Even if, let's say, the land belonged historically to the Jews, it is by no means acceptable that they deprive any other people of their rights, especially since those people are not responsible for the miserable Jewish plight.Witnessing all this violence and tyranny, the world remains silent, as if 'Janus Bifrons' showed his two faces. They say, 'it does not violate International Law'. However, when Hamas attacked Israel towards the end of 2023, the world began to argue with the pros and cons, and it is even said that Wonder Woman felt heartbroken.In the next episode, we will talk a little about 'Hamas', bi 'idhnillah."And as before, when she was about to move on to the next chapter, Jasmine sang,Biarlah ku bertanya pada bintang-bintang[Just let me ask to the stars]Tentang arti kita dalam mimpi yang sempurna[About the meaning of us in a perfect dream]Aku dan semua yang terluka karena kita *)[Me and everyone who's hurt because of us]
