The History of the Israelites and the True Land of Palestine Exposing Zionist Lies
This article will cover the history of the Israelites and the true history of the land of Palestine, aiming to expose the Zionist lies claiming that Palestine is their land.
They were of Arab origin, named after Canaan son of Ham, and belonged to the Semitic peoples, descendants of Shem, son of Noah (peace be upon him).
They were of Arab origin, named after Canaan son of Ham, and belonged to the Semitic peoples, descendants of Shem, son of Noah (peace be upon him).
This ancient map of Palestine shows the presence of the Canaanites, the earliest known inhabitants since around 3500 B.C.
Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) traveled to Canaan around 1800 B.C.
At that time, there was no mention of Palestine, Jerusalem, or the Israelites.
His son Ishmael moved to the Arabian Peninsula and settled there.
Prophet Isaac (peace be upon him) went to Canaan, and from his descendants came Jacob (Israel), meaning "servant of God."
His children became the Children of Israel, and they are known for the story of Joseph and the well in the Qur’an.
Jacob (peace be upon him) and his sons moved from Canaan to Egypt to live with Joseph (peace be upon him) after he became a minister.
Before that, they lived like a nomadic tribe outside the cities.
Their descendants stayed in Egypt for 430 years.
During this period, the Hyksos were expelled from Egypt by Ahmose I around 1550 B.C., marking the transition from Hyksos rule to Pharaonic rule.
The term "Pharaohs" is actually a historical inaccuracy but this is not the time to discuss it.
The Children of Israel remained in Egypt, supporting the Hyksos and engaging in actions like spreading corruption and causing unrest.
This explains why Pharaoh and the Egyptians hated them.
Pharaoh persecuted the Children of Israel after a dream that a child from them would cause his downfall as mentioned by Ibn Kathir.
But the main reason, as confirmed by history and the Qur’an, was their corruption.
Despite their corruption in Egypt, God saved the Children of Israel through Prophet Musa (Moses) by parting the sea.
Pharaoh and his army drowned before their eyes around 1300 B.C.
They were not yet called Jews, nor did they claim the Holy Land.
The first record of them in Egypt appears in the Temple of Ramses III, alongside a nearby people called "Peleset" (Philistines), around 1150 B.C.
After the parting of the sea, the Jews asked Musa (peace be upon him) for an idol.
They later worshipped the golden calf made by Al-Samiri, as told in the Qur’an.
Musa then told them they would go to Canaan, the land of their ancestors.
The Amalekites, descendants of the Canaanites, ruled Canaan at the time.
The Children of Israel feared them and said they wouldn't enter unless the Amalekites left.
Musa told them: "Enter the gate, and you will be victorious.
The Israelites refused to enter Canaan, saying: "You and your Lord go fight."
So Allah made them wander for 40 years until that generation died.
After Musa and Harun passed away, Yusha ibn Nun led the new generation around 1200 B.C.
Prophet Yusha ibn Nun led the new generation into the Holy Land.
Jerusalem already existed, built by the Jebusites around 3000 B.C., and the kingdom was later ruled by Dawud and Sulayman (peace be upon them).
In the 18th century B.C., Jerusalem was called Jebus, ruled by Melchizedek.
It was later named Ur Salem, then Ur Shalem, and finally Jerusalem, as recorded in the Amarna letters of ancient Egypt.
From 900 B.C. to 597 B.C., the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah existed, along with their holy book, the Torah, which was revealed to Prophet Musa (Moses).
The Children of Israel began to be called Jews, named after their ancestor Yehuda (Judah), son of Jacob (peace be upon him).
They took the land from the Canaanites and Jebusites.
Their tribe lived in the desert, not the cities, and their ancestors were not rulers.
After settling, they returned to corruption and killing prophets.
Allah sent them prophets to remind them of their faith, but they killed many, including Prophet Zakariya and Prophet Yahya (peace be upon them).
Because of this, they were called the "Killers of the Prophets"
Then came King Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Babylonian Kingdom, who entered and occupied Jerusalem and scattered the Jews across the lands.
This happened in 597 B.C.
The name "Solomon's Temple" appears for the first time here.
The Jews say Prophet Solomon built it in Jerusalem, but Nebuchadnezzar destroyed it.
They claim that the Philistines later built the Al-Aqsa Mosque over this temple.
They claim the right to dig under Jerusalem to find the alleged temple.
The Philistines ("Peleshet" in Hebrew) lived in the region since the 12th century B.C., before the Children of Israel arrived around 900 B.C.
Jerusalem already existed then.
The Jews claimed that the Philistines were not the original inhabitants of the land, but rather came from coastal cities like the island of Crete.
They say the Philistines split into two groups: one went to Derna in Libya, and the other to Ashkelon, which is now part of Gaza.
Whether migrants or Canaanites, the Philistines were historically in the land before the Israelites.
So, by the numbers, the Philistines have the earlier claim.
The Persian king Cyrus the Great defeated the Babylonian Empire,which was under the rule of Nebuchadnezzar and took control of Jerusalem for the first time in 539 B.C.
After that, the Jews began returning, but only as scattered communities without any political rule of their own
In 332 B.C., Alexander the Great defeated the Persians and took over the region.
Later, control passed to the Ptolemies (Egypt) and Seleucids (Syria) for over 400 years.
During that time, the Israelites tried to establish a kingdom again but failed.
They lasted less than 80 years before collapsing again a pattern known as the "Eighth Decade Curse."
In 63 B.C., the Romans occupied the region.
The Jews welcomed Pompey the Great, asking for permission to rule parts of the land under his authority.
Jesus (peace be upon him) was miraculously born in Bethlehem, about 10 km south of Jerusalem, to Mary without a father as stated in the Qur’an.
Some Jews falsely accused her of having a child through Joseph the Carpenter, a claim Islam rejects.
Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) came with a divine message, but some Jews falsely accused him before the Roman ruler, claiming he was planning a rebellion to seize power.
Because of these claims, the Romans began pursuing Jesus, and the Jews were the main instigators behind it.
The Jews incited Romans against early Christians. In 324 A.D., Emperor Constantine the Great ended the persecution, restored Christian rights, and recognized Christianity as an official religion. He also converted to the faith himself.
When the Christians regained their property and the state became Christian, revenge against the Jews began. As a result, the Jews fled Palestine, scattering across the world some to Europe, others to Africa, and some even to Medina in the Arabian Peninsula.
This explains the presence of Jews in Medina during the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
They had settled there around 200 years earlier, escaping persecution and avoiding a return to Roman Palestine, where they feared retaliation for their past actions.
In the Jewish Torah, it mentions “the Holy One from Mount Paran”, which some interpret as a prophecy of the final prophet.
This belief may have influenced the Jewish migration to Paran (in Hijaz), not just for safety, but also due to religious expectations tied to that region.
Several Jewish tribes lived in Medina during the Prophet’s time, including Banu Nadir, the tribe of his wife Safiyyah bint Huyayy.
The Prophet ﷺ told her:
"Your father was a prophet, your uncle a prophet, and you're married to a prophet."
Not all Jews in the Arabian Peninsula were from Bani Israel. Some were Arab converts to Judaism, like Banu Awf and Banu Qaynuqa, while Banu Nadir were of mixed background.
This shows that the presence of Arab Zionists isn't a new phenomenon it has historical roots.
Even the Arab poet Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf was from the Jewish tribe of Banu Nadir in Medina.
At that time, Jews lived in various parts of the Arabian Peninsula including Yathrib (Medina), Khaybar, Wadi al-Qura, and Tayma.
Four years after the Prophet’s mission began, the Persians captured Jerusalem in 614 AD. The verse “The Romans have been defeated” was revealed, and Quraysh mocked the Prophet, saying their idolaters beat the People of the Book.
The Jews supported the Persians against the Byzantines and Arab Christians, but were later expelled by the Persians. Thirteen years after the Persian victory, Heraclius led the Byzantines to reclaim all the lost lands in 627 AD.
At that time, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had migrated to Medina with his companions in 622 AD. After a series of events, he achieved victory in the great Battle of Badr.
Before the Hijrah, Muslims were connected to Al-Aqsa through the night journey (Isra and Mi'raj). Later, Al-Aqsa became the first Qibla in early Islamic prayer.
Before the Prophet migrated to Medina, he had encountered the Jews in Mecca. In Medina, Jewish tribes like Banu Qaynuqa, Banu Nadir, and Banu Qurayza controlled key parts of the economy, making them its economic backbone.
After settling in Medina, the Prophet established a Muslim market near the Prophet’s Mosque that brought together the Muhajirun and the Ansar from the Aws and Khazraj. The Jews later rejected his message, as they had done with Jesus and the prophets before him.
The new market threatened the Jews economically after earlier religious tensions. Banu Qaynuqa revolted and were expelled, and later Banu Nadir tried to assassinate the Prophet.
The Prophet then ordered Banu Nadir to leave Medina. Later, Banu Qurayza betrayed the Muslims during the Battle of the Trench and were punished by expulsion. This eventually led to the Battle of Khaybar, where the remaining Jewish presence in Medina was brought to an end.
After the Prophet’s death in 632 AD and that of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) in 634 AD, Muslims entered the Holy Land during the caliphate of Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and Jerusalem was conquered in 636 AD.
When Umar ibn Al-Khattab entered Jerusalem and received its keys from Patriarch Sophronius, he said his famous words to Abu Ubaidah ibn Al-Jarrah:
"We are a people whom Allah has honored with Islam, and if we seek honor through anything else, Allah will humiliate us."
After the Muslims entered Jerusalem under the leadership of Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), he allowed Christians and possibly Jews to remain in the city, although no Jews were living in Jerusalem at that time.
The Umar Covenant remained in effect throughout the various Islamic caliphates — Umayyad, Abbasid, and Ottoman — until relatively recently, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1909.
After leaving the Arabian Peninsula, many Jews moved north. By the Islamic conquest of Iraq in 655 AD, about 90,000 Jews lived there, while others had fled to Europe—Anatolia, Greece, and Macedonia.
Some Jews moved to Africa—such as Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Morocco—while others went to Russia. Jerusalem remained under Muslim rule, where Christians lived and worshipped freely, and Jews, whether residents or visitors, practiced their faith in small numbers.
In 1099 AD the First Crusade captured Jerusalem from the Muslims and the Jews showed no reaction despite their claims about the so-called Temple of Solomon”
Later, in 1187 AD Salah al-Din (Saladin) defeated the Crusaders at the Battle of Hattin yet the Jews again had no response.
Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi rebuilt the Jewish synagogue destroyed by the First Crusade and allowed Jews to live peacefully in Jerusalem. He regained Jerusalem for Muslims in 1187 after the Battle of Hattin.
Jerusalem remained under Muslim rule from 1187 until 1948, spanning from the time of Omar ibn Al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him) until 1948, except for 90 years during the First Crusade when it was occupied by the Crusaders.
The Crusades against Jerusalem continued with the Second Crusade in 1147 (which ended at Damascus), followed by the Third (1191), Fourth (1202), Fifth (1217), Sixth (1228), Seventh (1248), and Eighth Crusades (1270).
Under the Ottoman Caliphate, Jews lived as a minority with freedom to trade and practice their religion. The Fatimid state even appointed a Jewish governor in the Levant, showing Muslim-Jewish coexistence.
Russia persecuted the Jews and forbade them from living in certain areas away from others. The oppression reached the point of massacres, causing Tsar Alexander III to flee from the Jews to Europe and America. Around 2 million Jews emigrated between 1880 and 1920.
Jews were expelled from Europe several times including during the reign of Charles II King of Hungary in 1349 and Henry IV King of France, in 1592.They were also expelled from Spain and Portugal in 1492after the Inquisition during the reign of King Philip IV of Spain and Portugal
Italy expelled the Jews in 1567. Switzerland expelled the Jews four times, with the last expulsion in 1701. Germany expelled the Jews in 1570.
In addition, Lithuania and the Czech Republic also expelled the Jews. Even Britain expelled the Jews more than once.
In contrast, Jews prospered peacefully in Arab and Muslim lands like Yemen, Libya, Morocco, Egypt, and Iraq. This shows the clear difference between their treatment in the West and in Arab-Muslim countries.
The important point is that until World War I, the situation of the Jews in the world was like this, until Theodore Herzl appeared. Born on May 2, 1860, of Austrian-Hungarian origin, he was a writer, poet, and Jewish political activist.
Theodor Herzl became a wealthy man and a journalist. He owned a Jewish newspaper but was not concerned with the Jewish religion and didn’t know Hebrew—he could hardly put two words together. However, he had a bank and a newspaper, meaning he had both money and media.
About 100 years before Herzl, a group of Protestant Christians emerged in England. They believed that for Christ to return, the Jews must go back to Mount Zion, as this was part of the prophecy. This means it was a religious goal, and Mount Zion is located in Jerusalem.
Some Jewish sects, like Neturei Karta, opposed the idea of returning based on prophecy, believing it would lead to their destruction. They reject Zionism and protest alongside Muslims.
Theodor Herzl combined the Protestant prophecy with Zionist Jewish ideas. Inspired by the "Lovers of Zion" and using his wealth and media power, he convinced many Jews to support the idea of returning.
Between 1870 and 1897, the "Lovers of Zion" promoted the idea that Herzl later turned into action at the Basel Conference in 1897, supported by his wealth, media influence, and partners like the Rothschild family.
The conference resulted in the "Basel Program," which aimed to establish a national homeland for the Jews. While Palestine was mentioned as the primary goal, other countries like Argentina and Uganda were also proposed as possible alternatives if the Palestine plan failed.
Herzl sent a letter to Sultan Abdul Hamid II, offering to settle Jews in Palestine in exchange for paying off the Ottoman Empire’s debts, even though Jews made up only 2.8% of the population there at the time.
Sultan Abdul Hamid II firmly rejected the offer, saying: “I will not give up an inch of Palestine. Let the Jews keep their millions. If my empire is torn apart, they will get Palestine for free.
And this is exactly what sadly happened during World War I in 1914, before the complete fall of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1924. The first decision after the fall of the Ottoman state was to cancel the clause that prohibited Jewish settlement in Palestine.
At that time, there was the famous plan to divide areas of control between France and Britain, known as the "Sykes-Picot Agreement" in 1916.
After the Sykes-Picot Agreement, in 1917, British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour issued the "Balfour Declaration" to Lord Rothschild and the Jews, pledging the establishment of a national homeland for the Jews in Palestine.
Note: The Balfour Declaration was not sent to an official body but to Lord Lionel de Rothschild, a wealthy Jew and close friend of Theodor Herzl, who helped advance Herzl’s plan after his death.
At the same time, Britain was encouraging Sharif Hussein in the Arabian Peninsula with the grand deception that they would help him eliminate the Ottoman Empire in exchange for supporting the transfer of the caliphate to the Arabian Peninsula.
Britain later backed Abdulaziz Al Saud against Sharif Hussein, who had supported the fall of the Ottoman Empire and demanded an Arab Caliphate. This is linked to the famous story of "Lawrence of Arabia" and the payments made to the Al Saud family.
Britain organized the massacres and reshaped the region. In 1924, with the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate, it occupied Palestine under the name "British Mandate," and Jewish immigration to Palestine began.
Zionists urged Jews to move to Palestine. In 1947, a ship carrying Jewish refugees arrived with a banner reading: “The Germans destroyed our families and homes—don’t destroy our hopes.” Palestine was under British rule at the time.
Despite Britain supporting Jewish immigration and issuing the Balfour Declaration, the Zionists wrote that message because of growing Palestinian resistance, which began after the martyrdom of Izz al-Din al-Qassam in 1935 and led to the Arab Revolt in 1936.
Because of the Palestinian resistance, Britain issued orders to reduce Jewish immigration to Palestine, and in some cases, it even appeared as if some immigrants were being turned back due to the pressure from the Palestinian resistance.
By then, Zionists made up about 22% of Palestine’s population. They arrived on ships linked to Haganah and Irgun, armed with modern weapons from Britain, the U.S., and other European countries.
The Irgun and Haganah carried out what seemed like revenge operations and massacres against Palestinians, right under the eyes of Herbert Samuel, the British High Commissioner in Palestine. It was later revealed that Herbert Samuel was of Jewish origin.
Palestinian and Arab resistance continued despite the gap in experience, training, and weaponry. Great figures emerged, such as the Syrian fighter Izz al-Din al-Qassam. The Palestinian resistance has remained active from day one until today.
In 1947, Britain withdrew from Palestine and handed it over to the Zionists, who numbered around 580,000—about 40% of the population. They had already established weapons factories on the ground and controlled all key leadership positions.
On May 14, 1948, the Zionists issued the declaration of the state of occupation and appointed David Ben-Gurion as the first prime minister of the occupation state. Then, the United States recognized their state, followed by Iran, the Soviet Union, and many other countries.
On May 11, 1949, the United Nations recognized Israel as a state. The 1948 Nakba displaced thousands of Palestinians, allowing Israel to control most of Palestine and dividing Palestinians into refugees, Gaza residents, and Arabs inside Israel, as shown in the picture.
In 1967, Israel took control of a larger area of Palestinian land, as shown in the picture.
And the Arab rulers remained silent until the map of Palestine reached this current shape.
