PROVES THE ARABS HAVE NO LEGAL HISTORICAL CLAIMS ON PALESTINE!

                                               By Yoavi Rabinowitz

     Avi Goldreich is a Jewish resident of Caesarea, He is amateur collector of old books and Judaica. In Budapest he found an ancient book in Latin, written by a Christian named Relandi, on tour in Israel in 1695. Author Relandi, a real renaissance man, a geographer, cartographer philologist knew fluent Hebrew, Arabic and ancient Greek, in addition to European languages. The book was written in Latin.

     In 1695 he was sent on a tour of Israel in Palestine at that time known. During his travels he surveyed about 2500 localities mentioned in the Bible.  His research method was interesting. First he mapped the land of Israel. Secondly, he identified each of the places mentioned in the Bible or Mishnah or the Talmud with the original source. If the source was Jewish, he corresponded the verse in the Bible. If the source was of Roman, Greek or Latin then Greek brought the context. Thirdly, he also surveyed a census of each community. Here are his most prominent conclusions:  

      1. Although settlement in the Land of Israel has an Arab name source, most of the settlement names from the Hebrew, Greek or Latin - Roman. To date, in fact, no Arab settlement (except for Ramla) is not an original Arabic name. Most of the settlement names of Hebrew or Greek into Arabic garbled meaningless. There is no meaning in Arabic the names of Acre, Haifa, Jaffa, Nablus, Gaza or Jenin and towns of Ramallah, Al - Khalil and - Quds lack historical roots or Arabic philology. In 1696, the year of the tour, Ramallah, for example, called Bet'allah (Beit El), Hebron was called Hebron and the Cave of the Patriarchs is called by the Arabs to the Flute (alias Abraham).

     2. The land was empty, desolate, and the inhabitants were few and concentrated in the cities of Jerusalem, Acre, Safed, Jaffa, Tiberius and Gaza. Most of the inhabitants were Jews and the rest Christians, there were very few Muslims, mostly nomadic Bedouins. Exception was Nablus, Nablus where she sat about 120 people Neatsah Muslim family and 70 people Samaritans. Nazareth, the capital of Galilee, there were about 700 people - all Christians.   Tiberias, Tzfat were Jewish, but not mentioned occupations except fishing lake, professionals Tebriini traditional. City like Umm - do - coal, for example, was a village where 10 families, all Christian, about fifty people, and a small Maronite church (the Shahada).
      3. The book totally contradicts any post - modernist on the "Palestinian heritage" or Palestinian, reinforces and strengthens of the Land of Israel to the Jews and the absolute lack of belonging to the Arabs, who robbed the Latin name of Palestine appropriated it as their own.  In the year 1695 - the country was empty, desolate, and the inhabitants were few and concentrated in the cities of Jerusalem, Acre, Safed, Jaffa, Tiberius and Gaza. Most of the inhabitants were Jews and the rest Christians, there were very few Muslims, mostly Bedouin.

    Remember, there is no such thing as a Palestinian state or a Palestinian people. It was not, is not and never will be. Arab's fiction is encouraged by the international media and politicians and the Israeli left who suffers a serious mental illness, self-hatred, and collaborates with the worst of our enemies.         

    NOTE:   Author, geographer, cartographer & philologist RELANDI studied, surveyed and mapped out Palestine in 1695. His book written in Latin proves that the Arabs have NO LEGAL HISTORICAL RIGHTS to the Holy Land! M.S.
