'What you call Palestine is the Land of Israel,' Gideon Sa'ar tells journalist at Munich conference
2025-02-15
[Jpost] "What you call Palestine is the land of Israel," Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Sa'ar told a journalist at the Munich Security Conference on Friday.

The journalist, who is from Nablus, had asked Sa'ar about the process of removing Hamas from Gaza and the West Bank.

"We have an enemy who has never abandoned the path of incitement. Unfortunately, the Palestinians are more interested in destroying Israel than building themselves," Sa'ar added.

"One of the goals of the war is to return all the hostages. Every hostage we bring back brings us closer to realizing this goal," he said.

#4  Dig in the ground deep enough there and you find coinage from Judea. You won't find anything labeled Palestine.

#2  Palestine was your standard Soviet agitprop. Yasser Arafat even had a special code name:

The KGB's Middle East Files: Palestinians in the service of Mother Russia

[Ynet] Secret KGB documents reveal just how deeply involved the Soviet Union was in the spilling of Israeli blood. The Russian spy agency provided Palestinian terror organizations with funds, training and arms, running agents like 'Krotov' - aka Mahmoud Abbas, 'Aref' - or Yasser Arafat, and 'Nationalist,' who was behind several plane hijackings long before 9/11.

#1  I try to tell anyone who isn't aware of history to seek out an Encyclopedia from the 1960s. Choose the volume for the letter "P".

There are no references to "Palestine" in 75% of them. The other 25% refer only to "Palestine" being a "territory", and there were zero references to it being any sort of sovereign entity.

The last 60 years of "Palestinians" have been a complete made up bunch of....leftist claptrap.
