In this post, I will share many excerpts from the book titled From Time Immemorial by Joan Peters, that disproves the propaganda claims of Arabs living in Palestine from time immemorial. Additionally, I have included video clips of interest for your review.
This is at its core a ploy of Satan using the weapon called Islam. Islam is a “counterfeit religion” that Satan is using to destroy the Jewish people, Christians, and anyone else who will not bow their knee to him who wishes to be worshiped in place of Yahweh.
Previously in This Series…
… we have seen:
- The land the “Palestinian Arab people” claim is theirs was given by our Creator, Almighty God, Yahweh to ISRAEL.
- Judea was renamed Palaestina after the Romans crushed the revolt of Shimon Bar Kokhba in 132 A.D.
- Before the displaced Jews returned to their land, Palestine was a sparsely populated, poorly cultivated, and widely neglected expanse of eroded hills, sandy deserts, and malarial marshes.
- The word “Arab” before Islam, was a generic term used for nomadic peoples such as the Bedouins who were often raiders.
- Even people in Arabia did not call themselves “Arabs”.
- The “Arab identity” is largely a linguistic commonality.
Furthermore, we discovered after Islam came on the scene:
- Arab-ness emerged as an end-product of the success of early Islam’s conquest and reorganization of the Middle East.
- The first people who called themselves Arabs were the elite of the early Caliphate.
- It wasn’t until Islam came on the scene that eventually people took on the identity of being an “Arab”.
Islam and Arab-ness
The conquests of Mohammed and his followers did not immediately apply the identity of “Arabs”. However, we find an array of names, tribal designators, and the term muhajirun (‘Emigrants’) used to describe the social organization of the first post-conquest communities. 1
Moreover, after the military conquest of the regions, most of the people in Syria, Mesopotamia, and Persia did not immediately profess the religion of Muhammad. A long period took place between the military conquest and their religious conversion, primarily because of self-interest to escape tribute and seek identification with the ruling class. 2
Additionally, Arab-ness is not mentioned in the Qur’an. and reference to Arab unity is likewise absent in the memories of Muhammad’s strategies to unify his community. 3 This reveals Arabia’s divided social fabric at the dawn of Islam.
The Arabian Conquest in Palestine
In Palestine the “small” number of Arabian invaders who had been imported by the Arabian conquerors were “decimated” by epidemics within two years after the capture of Jerusalem.
Therefore the “myth” of the “Palestinian Arab” descending “from the Arab conquerors” appears to be factually incorrect for all but perhaps a few.
During the first century after the Arabian conquest, the caliph and governors of Syria and Palestine ruled almost entirely over Christian and Jewish subjects.
After a law, prohibiting the Arabs from owning land there, had been rescinded, “rich Arabs” came into ownership of “a good deal of the country.” 4 However, Jews and Christians still worked the land, because the Arabs had neither the desire nor the experience for agricultural toil; they “heartily despised” both the toil and “the tiller.” 5 In fact, during the brief time of the actual Arabian rule of the Omayyad from Damascus… it was military only.
Maʿaddites
Central Arabian nomads at least a century before Muhammad, called themselves Maʿadd. Maʿaddites were a people with a sense of independent community which they imported into early Islam. It took three or four generations before expressing themselves as “Arab”.
Propaganda Claims: The New Arab
The new Arab “identity” derives, according to Lewis, from “the impact of the West …It is that which regards the Arabic-speaking peoples as a nation or group of sister nations in the European sense, united by a common territory, language and culture and a common aspiration to a political independence.” 6
Whatever “Arab” propaganda claims to the contrary, the territory that appears qualifiable to be claimed by the Arabs as historically “Arab land” consists solely of the “Island of the Arabians,” the Arabian desert peninsula. Yet even in Arabia, historians are unambiguous when and if they deal at all with the Jews there. 7
Arabian-Jewish Communities
It is recorded that dominantly Jewish communities were established in the Arabian Peninsula after being exiled from their homeland dating possibly a thousand years before Islam.
However, the Jews were invaded, slaughtered, expelled, converted, and displaced by the conquering “Arabians.” The surviving Jewish refugees of the 7th century returned to Judah now Palestine victims of the dhimma “protection” that would carry down over 1,300 years, sometimes less violent, but unaltered in concept.
The Jewish refugees who fled Arab countries in 1948 were also escaping from the “protection” of Arab Muslims with one important difference:
- The seventh-century refugees found themselves bereft of their political sovereignty.
- While in 1948 the Jewish refugees went “home” to their restored nation.
The “Arab propaganda version of history,” so important to the current claim of “Palestinian” rights to “Arab Palestine,” which Arab Palestinians claim they inhabited for “thousands of years”…omits several relevant, situation-altering facts.
Propaganda Claims: History did not begin with the Arab conquest in the seventh century.
- The people whose nation was destroyed by the Romans were the Jews.
- There were no “Arab Palestinians” at that time.
- It was seven hundred years later when an Arab rule prevailed, and then briefly. Moreover, it was not by people known as “Palestinians.”
- The short Arab rule reigned over Christians and Jews, who had been there subjected to various other foreign conquerors.
- Roman, Byzantine, and Persian are just three in the centuries between the Roman and Arab conquests.
- The people who conquered under the banner of the invading Arabians from the desert were often mercenaries who remained on the land as soldiers not Arabians, enticed by the promise of the booty of conquest.
Historians Report: Palestine a Land of Waste
It was mentioned briefly in an earlier post that the land became desolate. One historian after another has reported the same type of findings in the land now called Palestine. Between the Arabian conquest in the 7th century and the beginning of the Jewish return in the 1880s, Palestine was nothing but a land of waste. Its ancient canal and irrigation systems were destroyed and the wondrous fertility of which the Bible spoke vanished into desert and desolation… Under the Ottoman Empire of the Turks, the hillsides were denuded of trees and the valleys were robbed of their topsoil. 8 Below are just a few examples:
- 1827 – Palestine was depicted as “desolate and roamed through by Arab bands of robbers.” 9
- 1840 – an observer traveling through wrote of his admiration for the Syrian race of men whose population was declining. 10
- 1857 – the British Consul in Palestine reported: “The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population…” 11
- Colonel C. R. Conder pronounced that Palestine of the 1880s was “a ruined land.” According to Conder, so far as the Arab race is concerned, it appears to be decreasing rather than otherwise.” 12
- 1863 – it was reported that Jerusalem consisted of “a large number of houses… in a dilapidated and ruinous state,” and “the masses seemed to be without any regular employment.”
- The “masses” of Jerusalem were estimated at 15,000, 4,500 Muslims, 8,000 Jews, and the rest were Christians of various denominations. 13
David Landes summarized the causes of the shriveling number of inhabitants:
As a result of centuries of Turkish neglect and misrule, following on the earlierravages of successive conquerors, the land had been given over to sand, marsh,the anopheles’ mosquito, clan feuds, and Bedouin marauders. A population of several millions had shrunk to less than one tenth that number-perhaps a quarte rof a million around 1800, and 300,000 at mid-century!”
David Landes, “Palestine Before the Zionists,” Commentary, February 1976, p. 49.
Propaganda Claims: Actually, it Was a Multi-Ethnic Population
Islam and the Arabic language were disseminated by a multi-ethnic Muslim community that at first included “numbers of Arabians in the provinces.”
However, “From the tenth century,” the Turks joined a multi-ethnic native population, which perhaps still included a few descendants of the Arabian invaders. Identifying the true “Arab-born” people became unworkable. The term “Arabic-speaking” people would be more accurate.
With the Crusaders’ mass murder in 1099 of all the 70,000 Muslims in Jerusalem, the deterioration of the land in Palestine accelerated…Massacres and the fear of massacre had greatly reduced the number of Jews in Palestine and Christians in Syria.” 14
The “vast majority” remaining in Palestine was “native Christians,” of “mixed origin…carelessly known as Christian Arabs.” 15,16
Moreover, because the population was “decimated” by massacres, disease, famine, and wars, many other ethnicities were brought into the land God gave Israel. As an example:
- One Muslim ruler “brought in Turks and Negroes.”
- Another “had Berbers, Slavs, Greeks and Dailamites.”
- The Kurdish conqueror, “Saladin, introduced more Turks, and some Kurds.” 17,18
- The Mamluks brought armies of Georgians and Circassians.
- In 1296, 18,000 “tents”-families–of Tartars entered and settled in the land of Palestine.” 19
When the Arabians, along with their non-Arabian recruits, entered Palestine and Syria, they found an “ethnological chaos of all the possible human combinations to which they also added, when Palestine became a land of pilgrimage…” 20
Greeks fled the Muslim rule in Greece and also landed in Palestine. By the mid-seventeenth century, the Greeks lived everywhere in the Holy Land and were about twenty percent of the population. Moreover, their authority dominated the villages. 21
Additionally, “In the Palestinian towns, Greek was the common tongue…” 22
Between 1750 and 1766 Jaffa had been rebuilt and had some five hundred houses. Turks, Arabs, Greeks, Armenians, and a solitary Latin monk lived there, to attend to the wants of the thousands of pilgrims who had to be temporarily housed in the port before proceeding to Jerusalem. 23
The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1911 edition, stated Palestine comprised at least 50 languages. In the late eighteenth century, 3,000 Albanians recruited by Russians were settled in Acre. The disparate peoples recently assumed and purported to be “settled Arab indigenes for a thousand years ” were a “heterogeneous” community. 24
Moreover, according to an official British historical analysis in 1920, there was no “Palestinian” or “Arab” identity either: “The people west of the Jordan are not Arabs, but only Arabic-speaking. The bulk of the population are fellah… In the Gaza district, they are mostly of Egyptian origin; elsewhere they are of the most mixed race.” 25

Propaganda Claims in the 19th Century
So much for the “Indigenous Palestinian Arabs” propaganda… Just as today, the myths are being perpetuated about the “Palestinian Arab identity for thousands of years” and the “golden age of Jews in Arab Lands,” so the public opinion of the world was swayed by Arab propaganda to blame the plight of the wretched fellah (peasant) driven off his land “since time immemorial”, on the “moneyed Jews of the world.” The story goes:
“But poor and neglected though it was, to the Arabs, who lived in it, Palestine… was still their country, their home, the land in which their people for centuries past had lived and left their graves.“26
Actually, some Arabic-speaking peasants were displaced, but they were displaced by Arabs long before the Jews’ mass restoration of the land had begun, and continued long after Jewish settlements thrived. It was those people (peasants) crippled by the corruption in Palestine with migrants by tradition, and immigrants “planted” by the Turks who would flood into the area of opportunity, the Jewish-settled areas of Western Palestine.
The people who roamed the country in the 19th century were not those who helped Muhammad’s troops conquer the land of Judah now renamed Palestine. They were not Indigenous to the land nor did they stay on the land.
In the 19th century when the returning Jewish immigrants united with the native Palestinian Jewish population, they found many imported Muslim people from Turkey and other lands, whom the Turks, in many cases, had recently brought, to protect against the wandering Bedouin tribes.
“The Land’s “vicious cycle of conquest and destruction had relentlessly claimed its inhabitants. Thus each new conqueror brought his people with him as a protective force, while other thousands went in and out from lands as distant as the Caucasus.
Moreover, the government was often “directly responsible” for implementing immigrants to spur development. For example, Circassians and other colonists were deliberately planted especially from 1870 onwards. 27
As late as the time coinciding with Jewish reclamation and development, the land was so sparsely populated that “landlords [were] bringing in peasants and former semi-nomadic tribesmen” from other areas “to work on their land.” 28
The majority of genuine “Arabs” among the sparse population in the “ruined” country when the Jewish settlers began to buy land for restoration were Arabian tribal nomads. The multi-ethnic “Arab” peasants who remained were so impoverished that an Arab writer stated:
…A t the turn of this century, Palestine was no longer the land of milk and honey described by the Bible, but a poor Ottoman province, a semi-desert covered by more thorns than flowers. The Mediterranean coast and all the southern half of the country were sand, and the rare marshy plains were fens of Malaria which decimated the sparse, semi-nomadic population, clinging to slopes and bare hills.
Abdel Razak Kader, The Jerusalem Post, January 8, 1969.
People Were Not Motivated Toward Palestinian Nationalism or Pan-Arabism
Much of the Muslim population that remained in the country was transient. How then does the profusion of evidence of an uninhabited Palestine jibe with the Arab propaganda claim of an overwhelming “Arab” settled population in a Palestine so crowded that the “Jews displaced the Arabs who had been there for thousands of years?”
The rotation of multi-ethnic Muslims and Christians imported either by various conquerors or through traditional migratory patterns to Judah now called Palestine, where they had met with the omnipresent Jewish and Christian inhabitants has been abundantly documented.
That there were “Arabs” who had been for “thousands of years,” or even hundreds, as a
consistent presence in Palestine is known to be inaccurate, it is just propaganda.
Moreover, according to an Arab writer Ameen Rihani, confusion abounded concerning an “Arab”
identity, and was “achieved mainly by exciting the fanatical spirit of the tribes.” The Arabic-speaking people in Palestine were not motivated toward Palestinian nationalism or Pan-Arabism. 29
It was the Arabs themselves by tradition as well as corruption who prompted Arabic-speaking Muslims to disregard or abandon the land.
Moreover, it was the Jews who would create a climate of opportunity that drew the migrants by the thousands to the Jewish-settled area of Palestine.
However, it was long after, the Jews settled their new farms that the first claims of a “Palestinian Arab” identity and an “age-old” tie to the land would be invented.
Propaganda Claims: It’s A Spiritual Battle
The disbursement of the Jews from their land was only temporary. Scripture reveals they would be gathered once again into the Promised Land God gave them as an everlasting inheritance.
11 It shall come to pass in that day That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time To recover the remnant of His people who are left, From Assyria and Egypt, From Pathros and Cush, From Elam and Shinar, From Hamath and the islands of the sea. 12 He will set up a banner for the nations, And will assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.
Isaiah 11:11-12, New King James Version
“For behold, days are coming,’ declares Yahweh, ‘when I will return the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.’ Yahweh says, ‘I will also cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.’”
Jeremiah 30:3 – Legacy Standard Bible

Israel once again became a nation in 1948 and God continues to bring His people back to the land.
Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
Isaiah 66:8 – – Legacy Standard Bible
Can a land be brought forth through labor pains in one day?
Can a nation be born all at once?
As soon as Zion was in labor pains, she also gave birth to her sons.
God does not lie. What He determines will happen and neither Satan, demons, fallen angels, nor any man can stop His plan.
Jesus Christ will return to set up His kingdom at His second coming and judgement of all nations and people will follow.
“At the time of those events,” says the Lord,
Joel 3:1-2 – New Living Translation
“when I restore the prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will gather the armies of the world
into the valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I will judge them
for harming my people, my special possession,
for scattering my people among the nations,
and for dividing up my land.
Islam, Satan’s Religion of Deception and Destruction
Islam is the means Satan is using to destroy not only the Jewish people but also the Christians. It is my opinion that the Qur’an is the true “Satanic Bible”.
Satan can not create therefore he counterfeits everything including the Christian Bible. Jesus said:
He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. – John 8:44 NLT

Satan knows that his time is running out. He is using everything he can think of to stop Jesus Christ from returning and sending him and his deceived followers to the Lake of Fire.
Moreover, Satan hates mankind because we are made in the image of the true God. One of his goals is to draw people away from the only hope they have, Jesus Christ, the One true Messiah and Son of God.
To those who follow Islam, a Christian can be anyone, atheists, agnostics, Europeans, Americans, etc living in a country they believe to be “Christian”. This means when they take over you automatically must either convert, be enslaved, pay dhimma, or be slaughtered. After all, this is a “religion of peace” according to the above video clip…
Likewise, if you are one of those who are protesting against Israel in support of the “poor, innocent Palestinians,” congratulations you are one of his deceived useful lemmings. Consequently, once you have served his purpose unless you repent and turn to Jesus Christ you will have the “honor” of his presence in “Hell’ for eternity.
Furthermore, he will bring October 7th to a neighborhood near you if Satan has his way.
Your only hope is to repent and turn to Christ while you have time.
Unlike those in Islam who have been lied to and told if they die killing the infidels, they will be ushered into a place with 72 virgins… (if those who died could, as they are in hell awaiting judgment, they would warn their brothers that it is all a lie!) see Luke 16:19-31.
However, as a child of God, take heart! If you are murdered…you have the assurance of eternity in the presence of Almighty God.
He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. – 1 John 5:12-13
