This book is written in Latin by Adriani Rilandi In 1695 describing in great detail, what was then called Palestine. He visited the entire region, ~2,500 towns, and recorded a census.
Rilandi was a geographer, cartographer, traveler, philologist, he knew several European languages, Arabic, ancient Greek, Hebrew.
Here are the primary facts & conclusions:
* The country is mainly empty, sparsely populated, the main population is Jerusalem, Akko, Tsfat, Jaffa, Tveria and Gaza.
* Most of the population were Jews. That's right. Jews. Everyone else is Christians, aside from very very few Muslims, mostly Bedouins.
* The only exception is Nablus (now Shchem), where approximately 120 people from the Muslim family Natsha and approximately 70 "shomronims" (Samaritans).
* In Nazareth, the capital of Galilee, lived approximately 700 people - all Christians.
* In Jerusalem there were about 5,000 people, almost all Jews and a few Christians.
* In 1695, everyone knew that the origin of the country was Jewish.
* There is not a single settlement in Palestine that has Arabic roots in its name.
* Most settlements have Jewish originals, and in some cases Greek or Roman Latin.
* About 550 people lived in Gaza, half of them Jews and half Christians.
Jews were successful in agriculture, especially in vineyards, olives and wheat, Christians were largely engaged in trade and transportation.
The book completely refutes theories about "Palestinian traditions", "Palestinian people" and leaves almost no link between the land and the Arabs who even stole the land's Latin name (Palestine) and took it for themselves.
And now "Free Palestine" people, remind me, please, why are you trying to free Palestine from it's original indigenous people (Jews) and give it to colonizers and occupiers?
Now orthodox Israeli -just for laughs- are making fake videos copying the viral tiktoks of the IOF kidnapping Palestinian fathers and sons and stripping then naked and torturing them. Note that the videos were shared by the soldiers themselves and were horrifying and ugly. You would think that people who survived the holocaust and historical racism and antisemitism would never want to display the same evil, dehumanization and hatred to others, yet these people are celebrating. Remember when people used to bring kids to the picnic/ lynchings?
Now before somebody comes and says how is this helpful? Ask the people who shot this video and were shameless enough to post it as a trend. After seeing the horrific original video that tiktok allowed Israelis to share and celebrate.
Zionists: They laugh at people's deaths, say that children do not deserve food, rape pregnant women, attack hospitals, schools and orphanages, attack random children, commit crimes in front of the families of their victims, etc…
Zionists too, when someone says they are scumbags who don't deserve anything: You fucking anti-Semite!
Israelis I hope you’re all safe. I can only imagine how terrifying everything must be for you physically there, especially with the recent drone attack. I love you and I hope you and your families are all safe.
ok jumblr and israblr, I thought about it for a while and I need to ask y'all a question.
feel free to discuss in the notes, if you wanna reblog for a larger sample size you're welcome to do so.
fyi I'm not gonna make a sideblog like that unless I have at least a couple of other people interested in modding it, because there's no way I can take the toll of it alone.
"The Palestinians have made it clear today that they would rather fight on their feet for justice and freedom than die on their knees in humiliation. It is high time the Israelis heed the lessons of history."
