                                        THE EUROPEAN JE WS AND

               THE GERMAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS:
                             A FACTUAL APPRAISAL BY THE RED CROSS

THERE WAS NO MASS-MURDER OF JEWS IN GERMAN WAR-CAMPS ACCORDING TO THE RED CROSS!

There is one survey of the Jewish question in Europe during World War Two and the conditions of Germany's concentration camps which is almost unique in its honesty and objectivity, the three-volume Report of the International Committee of the Red Cross on its Activities during the Second World War, Geneva, 1948.  This comprehensive account from an entirely neutral source incorporated and expanded the findings of two previous works: Documents sur I'activité du CICR en faveur des civils detenus dans les camps de concentration en Allemagne 1939- 1945 (Geneva, 1946), and Inter Arma Caritas: the Work of the ICRC during the Second World War (Geneva, 1947).  The team of authors, headed by Frédéric Siordet, explained in the opening pages of the Report that their object, in the tradition of the Red Cross, had been strict political neutrality , and herein lies its great value. The ICRC successfully applied the 1929 Geneva military convention in order to gain access to civilian internees held in Central and Western Europe by the Germany authorities. By contrast, the ICRC was unable to gain any access to the Soviet Union, which had failed to ratify the Convention. The millions of civilian and military internees held in the USSR, whose conditions were known to be by far the worst, were completely cut off from any international contact or supervision.  The Red Cross Report is of value in that it first clarifies the legitimate circumstances under which Jews were detained in concentration camps, i.e. as enemy aliens. In describing the two categories. of civilian internees, the Report distinguishes the second type as "Civilians deported on administrative grounds (in German, "Schutzhäftlinge"), who were arrested for political or racial motives because their presence was considered a danger to the State or the occupation forces" (Vol. 111, p. 73). These persons, it continues, "were placed on the same footing as persons arrested or imprisoned under common law for security reasons." (P.74). The Report admits that the Germans were at first reluctant to permit supervision by the Red Cross of people detained on grounds relating to security, but by the latter part of 1942, the ICRC obtained important concessions from Germany. They were permitted to distribute food parcels to major concentration camps in Germany from August 1942, and "from February 1943 onwards this concession was extended to all other camps and prisons" (Vol. 111, p. 78). The ICRC soon established contact with camp commandants and launched a food relief programme which continued to function until the last months of 1945, letters of thanks for which came pouring in from Jewish internees.    THERE WAS NO MASS-MURDER OF JEWS IN GERMAN WAR-CAMPS ACCORDING TO THE RED CROSS! RED CROSS RECIPIENTS WERE JEWS  The Report states that "As many as 9,000 parcels were packed daily. From the autumn of 1943 until May 1945, about 1,112,000 parcels with a total weight of 4,500 tons were sent off to the concentration camps" (Vol. III, p. 80).  In addition to food, these contained clothing and pharmaceutical supplies. "Parcels were sent to Dachau, Buchenwald, Sangerhausen, Sachsenhausen, Oranienburg, Flossenburg, Landsberg-am-Lech, Flöha, Ravensbrück, Hamburg-Neuengamme, Mauthausen, Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, to camps near Vienna and in Central and Southern Germany. The principal recipients were Belgians, Dutch, French, Greeks, Italians, Norwegians, Poles and stateless Jews" (Vol. III, p. 83). In the course of the war, "The Committee was in a position to transfer and distribute in the form of relief supplies over twenty million Swiss francs collected by Jewish welfare organisations throughout the world, in particular by the American Joint Distribution Committee of New York" (Vol. I, p. 644). This latter organisation was permitted by the German Government to maintain offices in Berlin until the American entry into the war.  The ICRC complained that obstruction of their vast relief operation for Jewish internees came not from the Germans but from the tight Allied blockade of Europe. Most of their purchases of relief food were made in Rumania, Hungary and Slovakia. The ICRC had special praise for the liberal conditions which prevailed at Theresienstadt up to the time of their last visits there in April 1945. This camp, "where there were about 40,000 Jews deported from various countries was a relatively privileged ghetto" (Vol. III, p. 75). According to the Report, "'The Committee's delegates were able to visit the camp at Theresienstadt (Terezin) which was used exclusively for Jews and was governed by special conditions. From information gathered by the Committee, this camp had been started as an experiment by certain leaders of the Reich . . . These men wished to give the Jews the means of setting up a communal life in a town under their own administration and possessing almost complete autonomy. . . two delegates were able to visit the camp on April 6th, 1945. They confirmed the favourable impression gained on the first visit" (Vol. I, p . 642).  The ICRC also had praise for the regime of Ion Antonescu of Fascist Rumania where the Committee was able to extend special relief to 183,000 Rumanian Jews until the time of the Soviet occupation. The aid then ceased, and the ICRC complained bitterly that it never succeeded "in sending anything whatsoever to Russia" (Vol. II, p. 62). The same situation applied to many of the German camps after their "liberation" by the Russians. The ICRC received a voluminous flow of mail from Auschwitz until the period of the Soviet occupation, when many of the internees were evacuated westward. But the efforts of the Red Cross to send relief to internees remaining at Auschwitz under Soviet control were futile. However, food parcels continued to be sent to former Auschwitz inmates transferred west to such camps as Buchenwald and Oranienburg.    THERE WAS NO MASS-MURDER OF JEWS IN GERMAN WAR-CAMPS ACCORDING TO THE RED CROSS! NO EVIDENCE OF GENOCIDE  One of the most important aspects of the Red Cross Report is that it clarifies the true cause of those deaths that undoubtedly occurred in the camps towards the end of the war. Says the Report: "In the chaotic condition of Germany after the invasion during the final months of the war, the camps received no food supplies at all and starvation claimed an increasing number of victims. Itself alarmed by this situation, the German Government at last informed the ICRC on February 1st, 1945 . . . In March 1945, discussions between the President of the ICRC and General of the S.S. Kaltenbrunner gave even more decisive results. Relief could henceforth be distributed by the ICRC, and one delegate was authorised to stay in each camp . . ." (Vol. III, p. 83). Clearly, the German authorities were at pains to relieve the dire situation as far as they were able.  The Red Cross are quite explicit in stating that food supplies ceased at this time due to the Allied bombing of German transportation, and in the interests of interned J ews they had protested on March 15th, 1944 against "the barbarous aerial warfare of the Allies" (Inter Arma Caritas, p. 78). By October 2nd, 1944, the ICRC warned the German Foreign Office of the impending collapse of the German transportation system, declaring that starvation conditions for people throughout Germany were becoming inevitable. In dealing with this comprehensive, three-volume Report, it is important to stress that the delegates of the International Red Cross found no evidence whatever at the camps in Axis- occupied Europe of a deliberate policy to exterminate the J ews. In all its 1,600 pages the Report does not even mention such a thing as a gas chamber. It admits that J ews, like many other wartime nationalities, suffered rigours and privations, but its complete silence on the subject of planned extermination is ample refutation of the Six Million legend. Like the Vatican representatives with whom they worked, the Red Cross found itself unable to indulge in the irresponsible charges of genocide which had become the order of the day.  So far as the genuine mortality rate is concerned, the Report points out that most of the Jewish doctors from the camps were being used to combat typhus on the eastern front, so that they were unavailable when the typhus epidemics of 1945 broke out in the camps (Vol. I, p. 204 ff)- Incidentally, it is frequently claimed that mass executions were carried out in gas chambers cunningly disguised as shower facilities. Again the Report makes nonsense of this allegation. "Not only the washing places, but installations for baths, showers and laundry were inspected by the delegates. They had often to take action to have fixtures made less primitive, and to get them repaired or enlarged" (Vol.III, p. 594).    THERE WAS NO MASS-MURDER OF JEWS IN GERMAN WAR-CAMPS ACCORDING TO THE RED CROSS! NOT ALL WERE INTERNED  Volume III of the Red Cross Report, Chapter 3 (I. Jewish Civilian Population) deals with the "aid given to the Jewish section of the free population," and this chapter makes it quite plain that by no means all of the European Jews were placed in internment camps, but remained, subject to certain restrictions, as part of the free civilian population. This conflicts directly with the "thoroughness" of the supposed "extermination programme", and with the claim in the forged Hoess memoirs that Eichmann was obsessed with seizing "every single Jew he could lay his hands on." In Slovakia, for examle, where Eichmann's assistant Dieter Wisliceny was in charge, the Report states that "A large proportion of the Jewish minority had permission to stay in the country, and at certain periods Slovakia was looked upon as a comparative haven of refuge for Jews, especially for those coming from Poland. Those who remained in Slovakia seem to have been in comparative safety until the end of August 1944, when a rising against the German forces took place. While it is true that the law of May 15th, 1942 had brought about the internment of several thousand Jews, these people were held in camps where the conditions of food and lodging were tolerable, and where the internees were allowed to do paid work on terms almost equal to those of the free labour market" (Vol. I, p. 646).  Not only did large numbers of the three million or so European Jews avoid internment altogether, but the emigration of Jews continued throughout the war, generally by way of Hungary, Rumania and Turkey. Ironically, post-war Jewish emigration from German-occupied territories was also facilitated by the Reich, as in the case of the Polish Jews who had escaped to France before its occupation. "The Jews from Poland who, whilst in France, had obtained entrance permits to the United States were held to be American citizens by the German occupying authorities, who further agreed to recognize the validity of about three thousand passports issued to Jews by the consulates of South American countries" (Vol.I, p. 645). As future U.S. citizens, these Jews were held at the Vittel camp in southern France for American aliens. The emigration of European Jews from Hungary in particular proceeded during the war unhindered by the German authorities. "Until March 1944," says the. Red Cross Report, "Jews who had the privilege of visas for Palestine were free to leave Hungary" (Vol. I, p. 648). Even after the replacement of the Horthy Government in 1944 (following its attempted armistice with the Soviet Union) with a govenment more dependent on German authority, the emigration of Jews continued. The Committee secured the pledges of both Britain and the United States "to give support by every means to the emigration of Jews from Hungary," and from the U.S. Govermnent the ICRC received a message stating that "The Government of the United States . . . now specifically repeats its assurance that arrangements will be made by it for the care of all Jews who in the present circumstances are allowed to leave" (Vol. I, p . 649).

Comments about Did Six Million Really Die?

      

Paul Rassinier generally acknowledged the founder of scholarly Holocaust revisionism

 

Paul Rassinier is the generally acknowledged founder of scholarly Holocaust revisionism. Born in France on March 18, 1906, and trained as an educator, he taught history and geography at the secondary school in Faubourg de Montbeliard.

During the Second World War, he co-founded the "Libé-Nord" underground Resistance organization, which helped smuggle Jews from German-occupied France into Switzerland. As a result, he was arrested by the Gestapo in October 1943 and deported to Germany, where he was held prisoner until the end of the war in Buchenwald and Dora concentration camps.

After returning home, the French government recognized his courage and suffering with the highest decoration awarded for Resistance activities. He was also elected to the French National Assembly as a deputy of the Socialist party (SFIO).

Rassinier was profoundly distressed by the many lies and myths about the concentration camps that were being circulated. He wrote:

"Then one day I realized that a false picture of the German camps had been created and that the problem of the concentration camps was a universal one, not just one that could be disposed of by placing it on the doorstep of the National Socialists. The deportees — many of whom were Communists — had been largely responsible for leading international political thinking to such an erroneous conclusion. I suddenly felt that by remaining silent I was an accomplice to a dangerous influence."

In a series of books, Rassinier related his camp experiences, and sought to set the record straight about the camps and Germany's wartime Jewish policy. A collection of four of his most important writings — La Passage de la ligne, Le Mensonge d'Ulysse, Ulysse trahi par les siens, and Le Drame des Juifs européens — has been published in an English translation under the title The Holocaust Story and The Lies of Ulysses.

Rassinier became increasingly skeptical of the reports of systematic killings of Jews in gas chambers:

"With regard to gas chambers, the almost endless procession of false witnesses and of falsified documents to which I have invited the reader's attention during this long study, proves, nevertheless, only one thing: never at any moment did the responsible authorities of the Third Reich intend to order — or, in fact, order — the extermination of the Jews in this or any other manner.      Did such exterminations take place without orders? This question has haunted me for 15 years."

The number of Jews who perished in Europe during the war years, he concluded, could not have been more than about 1.6 million.

Among the many who were impressed by Rassinier was the great American historian Harry Elmer Barnes. In a 1962 essay, "Revisionism and Brainwashing," Barnes remarked on "the discouragement and smearing of outsiders like the distinguished French historian Paul Rassinier, who sought to expose the exaggerations of the atrocity stories."

Until his death on July 29, 1967, Rassinier was active in the anti-war movement, for example as a contributor to the pacifist monthly, La Voie de la Paix.

THE JEWISH GAS CHAMBER HOAX DOCUMENTARY DEBUNKING THE GREATEST HOAX IN HISTORY

 

THE DOCUMENTARY ON THIS LINK:

   THE JEWISH GAS-CHAMBER HOAX

THE JEWISH GAS CHAMBER HOAX is a Revisionist documentary which provides revelatory information debunking the greatest hoax in human history — “The Holocaust” — the fraudulent claim that six million Jews were murdered by Germans, mostly in “gas chambers disguised as shower rooms.”

Never before seen evidence helps prove that Treblinka was a transit camp, far from the “pure extermination camp” myth currently promoted by the Holocaust religionists.

In never before seen footage, Jews themselves who were transited through Treblinka describe the process of being transferred from Treblinka to other camps, along with hundreds and thousands of other men women and children. Documentation is presented which affirms that Treblinka was no top secret “pure extermination center,” but a simple transit camp where many Jews took real showers in order to keep them alive.

The absurdity of diesel gassings, non-existent mass graves, forced confessions, and more are covered in THE JEWISH GAS CHAMBER HOAX, a new documentary from the filmmaker of THE LAST DAYS OF THE BIG LIE.

An Arab Tells Us Why Israel is Failing

Why Does Israel Continue to Lose the Battle for Psychological Deterrence even though She has All the Means for Success? What are the Consequences of this?

By: Abu Ali

I write the following article as on observer on the sidelines, astonished, powerless, sad. I see how a huge state system, with a huge budget is unsuccessful in achieving even minimal, simple, necessary success over many years in the area of deterrence, against the ability of the enemy to relatively easily and with a minimal budget to tilt the equation in its favour time after time.

The problem is particularly painful because there is a lot that can be done but nothing is done. They do not even scrape even single digit percentage points of what can be done and when they do do something it is usually with lack of understanding of the environment and the object. Shooting in the dark, in fact.

I believe that the Israeli leadership and those below them, both in government and the armed forces, do not understand, at least at the practical level, that investment in psychological deterrence means a huge saving in security expenses and surely in human life. In the contemporary state of affairs I allow myself to say that the functioning of the state and military leadership in Israel, in this sphere is seriously lacking. And that is an understatement.

Correct influence of the perceptions held by the enemy changes state processes. It is a matter of strategy of the highest degree. And it must be regarded with reverence (חרדת קודש).

I will include in this article a few examples for illustration, some contemporary, some from the ancient past. But all of them have one thing in common: perceptions change and create reality. Psychological deterrence overcomes wars. It changes a people’s path.

The Torah is the unchallenged source of examples of the power of perception. It was difficult for me to filter. I chose two examples:

1. The story of the spies and the whore, Rahab, in the book of Yehoshua (Joshua) Chapter 2, Verses 9-11. Rahab said to the spies (Translation from Chabad.org): “And she said to the men, I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted away because of you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites that were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you completely destroyed. And as soon as we heard, our hearts melted, nor did there remain anymore spirit in any man because of you, …”
   The whore Rahab chooses to betray her people, to cooperate with the people of Israel and to give them a significant advantage to the attacking power of the children of Israel just because she hears hair-raising stories about them. That is over and above her description of how all those in the land already fear the children of Israel before they even crossed the Jordan River.
2. David and Goliath. Two minutes after the slingshot. (translation from Chabad.org) Shmuel I Chapter 17: 51-52:  And David ran and stood up to the Philistine, and he took his sword and drew it from its sheath, and slew him, and with it, severed his head. And the Philistines saw that their hero had died, and they fled. And the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines . . .

The Philistines fled only because they saw that a young red-headed boy was victorious over the strongest man among them.

Another, more modern, example:

When did Israel first use nuclear power in war? If you ask the Arabs who fled their homes during the War of Independence, then it was already in 1948.

Already then, they knew that Israel overcame the numeric differential with respect to weapons and soldiers, by means of perception. Whoever knows the history of the Davidka mortar certainly knows that it mostly made a huge noise. Using it and others like it, Israel won the War of Independence and drove off the enemy. And if, by chance, rain fell afterward,…there already was the rumour spreading that the Jews used nuclear weapons. Yes, it was a well-known fact that after a nuclear weapon is shot, rain falls. . .  This  certainly sounds frightening.

Another example from the same period of time was the tossing of gas cannisters (Sypholux) from Piper airplanes; these made noises loud enough to sound as if a bomb was dropped.

There are many examples and many successes.

So what has gone wrong in the meantime? And why exactly now, when Israel is militarily stronger by far than all her enemies, her ability to influence enemy psychology is at its lowest of all times? The answer is apparently found in the question. The State of Israel, the start-up nation, grew addicted (and to some degree legitimately so) to technologically groundbreaking solutions, the first of their kind in the world, some of which seem like sheer fantasy. The incredible technological power of israel, and the qualitative advantages of this technology, has allowed her to neglect a simpler sphere of activity, the world of psychology.

Thus, the situation was created in which a good-looking Gazan youth, holding a slingshot, during the flotilla incident in the north of the strip, facing IDF soldiers, was awarded with support of the international community that turned him into the “Palestinian” David fighting the “Israeli” Goliath.

Perception reversal thus produced the incomprehensible situation in which the Hamas leader in Gaza, Yehiya Sinwar, goes on-stage in Khan Younis, waves the gun of one of the IDF soldiers, turning him into the victor who defeated the great Israel, while, if one looked at the event with objectivity, the truth was that a unit of IDF soldiers drove about freely in Gaza for quite a while and then left the strip. The achievement was opposite to that presented by Sinwar; this was an incredible Israeli success. Since the disclosure of that feat on November 11, 2018, Hamas security personnel move about Gaza like poisoned mice, suspecting every frightened youth with a popgun. But in Palestinian popular opinion, as well as Israeli, unfortunately, this was turned into a bitter Israeli loss and Hamas victory is imprinted on the psyche. An upside-down world.

Israel has another problem. A quite significant problem.

She is plagued by her self-flagellation mentality that grows stronger by the hour. The cynicism and pessimism devours all her good parts. Lack of awareness of the fact that the enemy reads each letter in the Israeli media and uses it for their own psychological needs means that the politicians, IDF officers (current and past) and many journalists chatter away endlessly without understanding the damage they are causing to the Israeli psyche and the strength they thus give to the enemy. I will give a few examples and I apologize in advance to those insulted by what I write.

Almog Boker is very highly regarded on the Gazan side of the border. He is immediately translated into Arabic and broadcast over all possible Palestinian channels. Why is this a problem? Almog tends to intensify (apparently a bit too much) activities related to The Return Marches and I have no doubt he has no malicious intent. He simply does not understand that his reports exert singificant impact on the other side and add much oil to the fire. The Gazans greatly celebrate his reports and members of the units setting tires on fire derive much encouragement from his articles. He is their measure of the fact that their activities are successful and influential. The anxiety experienced by residents of the Gaza envelope in Israel, something he describes so well, is exactly what they seek to achieve. And when they succeed, then they continue with these activities and increase their intensity. Anyone who follows Gazans on the social media will notice this immediately.

Another example: The resignation of Defence Minister Lieberman, immediately after the disclosure of the operation in Khan Younis: Was another moment for timing his resignation not available? Hamas presented this to their population as a huge achievement. An embarrassing event from their point of view (Israeli special forces were moving around Gaza for a long period of time without having been detected) turned, at the end of the day, into an event in which Hamas succeeded in bringing down a sitting Defence Minister. If Gazans had any doubt that Hamas “is pulling the wool over their eyes” and did not really win because, between us, they did not manage to capture IDF soldiers in Gaza, then here comes Lieberman and gives them a gift. The ultimate confirmation. Proof that what Yahiya Sinwar said was actually the truth, because a Defence Minister does not resign for no reason. That is how it works, friends.

And continuing on from that incident, the Israeli newspaper headlines shouted out two weeks ago that “for the first time in history, a commander of the elite forces resigned and will not continue in his position” — the headline is all that Hamas needed and now Izz ad-Din al-Qassam brought down the Defence Minister and caused the removal of the commander of the elite forces. Does anyone doubt what the average Gazan resident makes of this? Hamas wins and wins big. Does anyone remember the cynical and detached Israeli media at the opening of Operation Northern Shield for the destruction of the Hizbollah tunnels? Nasrallah was able to happily remain silent. The Israeli media did his work for him and they only had to quote the Israeli media and Israeli politicians.

Many of the problems I describe above are derived mainy from misunderstanding. Policy makers and those who determine the nature of media conversations do not understand Arabic and do not understand Arabs. If they just knew a bit more, were they a bit more enlightened regarding what happens on the Arab street in various contexts, half of these problems would be behind us.

Policy makers concerned with psychological deterrence must eat, drink and breath Arabic and Arabs. First hand. Anything else can be compared to a car mechanic trying to carry out brain surgery on a human being. Failure is ensured. What is frustrating is that Israel is at a wonderful opening position in everything concerning perception. Because of the name she made for herself in technological advancements, they will believe almost everything they are told about her and that is a very valuable resource. Israel has a “halo” that has not been exploited as it can be for changing perceptions and modifying behaviour. If you present something about what you can (or cannot) do, in a trustworthy manner, you can cause the enemy to invest much in defence against that and thus you can wear them down or harm their effectiveness. If you cause an entire nation to believe that entry of terrorists, by means of tunnels, into Israel, is the absolute end, the public will push their leadership to invest unbelievable resources in solving this threat, disproportionately to the actual threat itself. And this has already been successful on two fronts. Just not from the right side as far as Israel is concerned. This is the power of perception and this is exactly where Nasralleh, Hamas and Iran are directing their attention — and without much effort or financial resources, they are achieving significant results. They act from a methodically based doctrine, singularly, with one voice, clearly and incessantly, dedicated to their goal to the end. Therefore they have achieved much.

Israel has something to learn from them. With an organized programme, with a bit of colour and cosmetics around and with a deep understanding of the neighbourhood in which she is situated, Israel can become a power in the domain of perception as well. It is not fate. Investment and professionalism in this domain would more than double her power. It can bring Israel to a kind of victory that she wishes for herself and that is so lacking.

Some Points Raised by Historian Shmuel Bar

In a paper entitled Israeli Strategic Deterrence Policy and Practice, he supported points raised by Abu Ali. Bar writes that Israel does not have to prove to her enemies that she has the power to destroy them. They know that. Her deterrence factor comes from her using her power and not threatening to use it and “by inducing fear that the force would be reapplied and even increased.” But the lesson needs to be repeated periodically as its effect wears off during times of prolonged quiet. In addition, when Israel has proven itself able to protect the people against one kind of threat (as the Iron Dome protects against missiles), terrorist organizations seek novel ways to attack – i.e., incendiary kites and balloons. The lack of immediate response to these over so many years only encouraged their continued use.

Bar describes an idea that never got anywhere — to somehow connect the Gaza electric system (since Israel supplies most of their electricity) to the warning sirens in Israel such that each time a siren goes off, the electricity in Gaza would be shut down for an hour.  While this particular idea may not be effective, it opens up the possibility that novel and creative ideas should be brainstormed in the search for increased psychological deterrence.

Yesterday and Today . . . and Tomorrow?

The new government attacked sites connected with the launching of incendiary balloons the very night they were launched. And that is with Ra’am, the Islamist party, as part of the coalition. Israel bombed a Hizbullah post in Syria last night. I wonder if our neighbours are wondering who or where is next. And that is as it should be. Even if the attack against the balloonists in Gaza and against the Hizbullah post in Syria were still part of the previous government policies and guidelines (after all, are 4 days really enough to change direction?), it is the impression of action that may be more significant here. Remember, we are talking about psychological deterrance and perceptions.

Can we rebuild the psychological deterrence edge that we seem to have lost over the past years? And an interesting area for exploration is the effect on psychological deterrence of having an Islamist party in the ruling coalition of Israel.

EVIDENCE THAT PALESTINE WAS NEVER ARABIC FROM YEAR 1714 BOOK

 

A BOOK FROM YEAR 1714 BRINGS THE EVIDENCE THAT PALESTINE WAS NEVER ARABIC!

The author spoke Hebrew, Arabic, ancient Greek, and European languages perfectly. The book was written in Latin. In 1695 he was sent to Israel, at the time known as Palestine.

During his travels, he investigated about 2500 places where people were mentioned in the Bible or Michna lived.

1) He mapped the land of Israel first.

2) Then he identified each of the places mentioned in Michna or Talmud with their original source. If the source was Jewish, he listed it in the Holy Scriptures. If the source was Roman or Greek, it indicated the connection in Greek or Latin.

3) he organized a demographic survey and census of each community.

His conclusions

1. No settlement in Israel has a name of Arab origin.

Most colonial names come from Hebrew, Greek, Latin or Roman languages. In fact, until today except Ramlah, no Arab colony has an original Arab name. So far, most colonial names are of Hebrew or Greek origin, sometimes distorted names into Arab names without any sense. There is no meaning in Arabic in names such as Acco (Acre), Haifa, Jaffa, Nablus, Gaza or Jenin and cities named Ramallah, El Halil and El-Kuds (Jerusalem) lack historical roots or philology Arabic.

In 1696, the year Reland went around the country, Ramallah, for example, was named Bet ' allah (Hebrew name Beit El) and Hebron was named Hebron (Hevron) and the Arabs called Mearat HaMachpelah El Chalil, their name for the ancestor Abraham.

2. Most land was empty

Most of the land was empty and few inhabitants and concentrated mostly in Jerusalem, Acco, Tzfat, Jaffa, Tiberius and Gaza. Most inhabitants were Jewish and other Christians. There were few Muslims, mostly nomadic bedouins. Nablus, known as Shchem, was just an exception because there were about 120 people living there, members of the Muslim Natsha family, and about 70 Shomronites.

In the capital of Galilee, Nazareth, lived around 700 Christians and in Jerusalem about 5000 people, mostly Jews and some Christians.

The interesting thing is that Reland mentioned Muslims as nomadic Bedouins who arrived in the area as a reinforcement of the building and agriculture workforce. In other words, seasonal workers.

In Gaza, for example, lived around 550 people, fifty percent Jews and the rest mostly Christians. The Jews grew up and worked in their flourishing vineyards, olive orchards and wheat fields. Christians worked in the trade and transport of goods and goods.

Tiberius and Tzfat were mostly Jewish and with the exception of mentioning fishermen fishing in Lake Kinneret - Lake Galilee - a traditional occupation of Tiberius, there is no mention of their occupations.

A city like Um El Phahem was a village where ten families lived, about fifty people in total, all Christian. There was also a small Maronite church in the village (the Shehadah family).

3. No Palestinian legacy or Palestinian nation.

The book totally contradicts any post-modern theory claiming a ′′ Palestinian legacy ′′ or a Palestinian nation. The book confirms the link, the pertinence, the kinship of Israel's land with the Jews and the absolute lack of belonging to the Arabs, who stole the Latin name Palestina and took it for their own use.

Adrian Reland (1676-1718), Dutch orientalist, was born in Ryp, studied at Utrecht and Leiden and was a teacher of oriental languages successively at Harderwijk (1699) and Utrecht (1701).

PRESCRIPTION DRUGS ARE THE THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AFTER HEART DISEASE AND CANCER. 

In his latest ground-breaking book, Peter C Gotzsche exposes the pharmaceutical industries and their charade of fraudulent behaviour, both in research and marketing where the morally repugnant disregard for human lives is the norm. He convincingly draws close comparisons with the tobacco conglomerates, revealing the extraordinary truth behind efforts to confuse and distract the public and their politicians. 

The book addresses, in evidence-based detail, an extraordinary system failure caused by widespread crime, corruption, bribery and impotent drug regulation in need of radical reforms. "The main reason we take so many drugs is that drug companies don't sell drugs, they sell lies about drugs. This is what makes drugs so different from anything else in life...Virtually everything we know about drugs is what the companies have chosen to tell us and our doctors...the reason patients trust their medicine is that they extrapolate the trust they have in their doctors into the medicines they prescribe. 

The patients don't realise that, although their doctors may know a lot about diseases and human physiology and psychology, they know very, very little about drugs that hasn't been carefully concocted and dressed up by the drug industry...If you don't think the system is out of control, please email me and explain why drugs are the third leading cause of death...If such a hugely lethal epidemic had been caused by a new bacterium or a virus, or even one-hundredth of it, we would have done everything we could to get it under control."

Palestinian arab leader Hazem Nusseibeh admits false reports of rape at Deir Yassin

 

Nabka Facts: In this 1998 PBS documentary, "The 50 Years War Israel And The Arabs," Hazem Nusseibeh and Abu Mahmoud ( a resident of Deir Yassin) admitted that there was no rape at Deir Yassin. Nusseibeh, who met with the Palestinian Arab leaders after the attack on the village, also admitted that the Arab leaders decided to make the most of the attack on the village and decided to lie about rape in the village, in the hopes that the Arab armies would invade. Nusseibeh said the press release backfired, causing Arabs to flee in terror from all their villages after they had heard the false reports of rape. Later in the 2008 BBC documentary, "The Birth of Israel," Nusseibeh said it was the Israeli massacres which caused Arabs to flee their homes.

Why did the arabs in Israel flee in 1948?

 

Why I left Bir Ma'in (central Israel) - Orders of Jordanian army, promised we would “return in 2 hours” Official PA TV May 15, 2013 (PA TV reporter): "How did you leave Bir Ma'in? Did you experience the Nakba?" Fuad Khader: "We left, I mean, the one who made us leave was the Jordanian army, because there were going to be battles and we would be under their feet. They told us: 'Leave. In 2 hours we liberate it and then you’ll return.' We left only with our clothes, we didn’t take anything because we were supposed to return in 2 hours. Why carry anything? We’re still waiting for those 2 hours to this day." Why I left Ein Karem (Jerusalem) - Orders from Arab regimes: “Get away [for] at most two weeks” Official PA TV July 7, 2009 Refugee from Ein Karem: "The radio stations of the Arab regimes kept repeating to us: 'Get away from the frontline. It's a matter of ten days, or at most two weeks, and we'll bring you back to Ein Karem [in Jerusalem].' And we said to ourselves, 'That's a very long time. Two weeks is too much.' That's what we thought [then]. And now 50 years have gone by." Why I left Safed (northern Israel) - Out of fear Official PA TV Jan. 1, 2013 PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: "The [Arab] Salvation Army withdrew from the city [Safed in 1948], causing the [Arab] people to begin emigrating. In Safed, just like Hebron, people were afraid that the Jews would take revenge for the [Arab] massacre in 1929 (Note: 65 Jews were murdered in Hebron, 18 in Safed)... [In 1948] the people were overcome with fear, and it caused them to leave the city in a disorderly way. " Why I left Jaffa (central Israel) - Orders from Arab fighters Official PA TV Oct. 2, 2014 (TV host): "Abu Ghazaleh, tell us nice memories of Jaffa..." Former Jordanian MP Talal Abu Ghazaleh: "Cars with megaphones roamed the streets, demanding that people leave so the fighting would succeed. They called to us in Arabic to leave our homes: 'We - the Palestinians, the fighters - want to fight, and don’t want you to impede us so we ask you to leave the city [Jaffa] immediately ...' All of us – me, my family, and the others – left any way we could. We went to the port and boarded a ship." Why I left Kafr Saba (central Israel) - We were told to “evacuate village” and assumed we would “return after a few hours” Al-Ayyam daily, May 16, 2006 Asmaa Jabir Balasimah (PMW narration of newspaper): "We heard sounds of explosions and of gunfire at the beginning of the summer in the year of the Nakba [1948]. We were told that the Jews attacked our region and it is better to evacuate the village and return after the battle is over. And indeed there were among us those who left a fire burning under the pot, those who left their flocks of sheep, and those who left their money and gold behind, based on the assumption that we would return after a few hours." Why I left Majdal (southern Israel) – Orders from Arab district officer Official PA TV April 30, 1999 Refugee in Gaza (talking on the phone): "My grandfather and my father told me that during the Nakba our district officer issued an order that whoever stays in Palestine and in Majdal is a traitor." Head of Islamic Movement in Israel Ibrahim Sarsur: "The one who gave the order forbidding them to stay there bears guilt for this, in this life and the Afterlife throughout history until Resurrection Day." Why I left Dir Al-Qasi (northern Israel) – we were told we’d return “in a week or two” Official PA TV Feb. 9, 2010 Sadek Mufid: "We headed first from Dir Al-Qasi to Rmaich [in Lebanon], because of what they said at the time: 'By Allah, in a week or two, you’ll return to Palestine.' The Arab armies entered Palestine, along with the [Arab] Salvation Army. We left - we and those who fled with us - and we all headed for Lebanon." Why I left Safed (northern Israel) - Family decision out of fear “hoping we would return” Abbas' Facebook page May 14, 2014 PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: "To be honest, we were afraid. My family decided – I was the oldest of those who left with my brother’s wife and his two children – that they would move us... I had two pairs of shoes, a new pair and an old pair. I said: ‘'I’ll leave with the old pair, and leave the new pair for when we come back...' We left hoping we would return. They took us east, east of Safed, to the Jordan River."

Dr. Scott Atlas slams 'hysteria' over reopening schools

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's claim that school reopenings present the "biggest risk for the spread of the coronavirus" is "completely wrong" and "contrary to all the science," Dr. Scott Atlas told "The Story" Monday. "I'm not sure how many times it has to be said, but the risk of children from this disease and the fatality is nearly zero," Atlas, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center, told host Martha MacCallum. "The risk of children for a significant illness is far less from the seasonal flu. This is totally antithetical to the data."

"MRI scans show that the brain switches off the prefrontal cortex and deactivates the language center that is responsible for holistic processing, creativity, intuition, and inducing a phase at exactly 111 Hz. This reaction results in a divine level of meditation, the trance that some believe allows you to get connected with the universe, God, or a creator." 111 Hz is associated with the production of endorphins. This healing frequency assists in cell rejuvenation and regeneration. By producing endorphins, 111 Hz relieves pain and elevates mood. It can increase feelings of overall well-being, empathy, and improves focus and memory. May this music bring you peace, healing, and happiness.
