Data, Including UN Information, Proves Israel Not Arab-Owned

Data to prove that Israel
was never an Arab land has
been compiled by Sol A.
Dann, chairman of the Amer-
ican Educational League for
a Secure Israel.
The former Detroiter, who
lives in California, states
there was no geopolitical en-
tity called Palestine until the
defeat of the Ottoman Turk-
ish Empire during World
War I, and "no Arab nation
lived on this soil and no na-
tional claim was ever made
to the territory by any group
-ther than the Jews."

_ -Between the expulsion of
the Jews by Rome in 70 to
132 CE and the defeat of the
Ottoman Empire in 1918,
Palestine was occupied by 14
conquerers over 13 centuries.
The following table shows

the approximate historical
periods of the various rulers
of the area named "Pales-
tine," by the Romans:

1. _Israel Rule for more than
1,900 years: 1350 BCE to 536 BCE
(biblical period).
2. Babylonian conquest and in-
vasion: 587 BCE to 538 BCE. -
3. Israel autonomy (under Per-
sian and Greco-Assyrian suzerain-
ty) and invasion: 533 BCE to 103
BCE.
4. Revolt of the Maccabeans
and invasion: 168 BOE to 143 BCE.
5. Rule of the Hasmone•ns and
their successors: 143 BCE to 70
CE.
6. Jewish autonomy (under Ro-
man and Byzantine suzerainty) by
invasion: 70 CE to 637 CE.
7. Rulers of Arabs Caliphates:
by invasion: 637 CE to 1072 CE.
Mecca, by invasion:
637 CE to 661 CE
Umayyides, by invasion:
661 CE to 750 CE
Abbaside, by invasion:
-
750 CE to 870 CE
Fatimides, by invasion:
969 CE to 1071 CE
8. Selijukes Rule, by invasion:
1072 CE to 1096 CE.
9. Crusaders, by invasion: 1099

CE to 1291 CE.
Ayyubids, by invasion: 1175 CE
to 1291 CE.
10. Mamelukes Rule, by inva-
sion: 1291 CE to 1516 GE.
11. Ottomans (Turks), by inva-
sion: 1516 CE to 1918CE.
12. British Mandate, by agree-
ment: 1918 CE to 1948 CE.
13. State of Israel, re-estab-
lished: 1948 CE to date.

The rule of the various
Arab Caliphates, which was
a foreign Moslem rule, ex-
tended for a period of 432
years—Jewish rule of Pales-
tine extended over a period
of some 2,000 years. •
"The inhabitants of the
region consisted of the con-
quering soldiers and their
slaves, and only during the
Arab conquest of the area
were these diverse ethnic in-
habitants compelled to ac-
cept Islam and Arab tongue
or be put to the sword.
"The Jews are the sole sur-

vivors of the ancient inhabit-
ants of Palestine who have
maintained an uninterrupt-
ed link with the land since
the dawn of recorded his-
tory," says Dann.

FOLLIES FOR OFFSPRING

We spend half our lives un-
learning the follies transmit-
ted to us by our parents, and
the other half transmitting
our own follies to our off-
spring. —Isaac Goldberg.

Let us be thankful for the
fools; but for them the rest
of us could not succeed.
—Mark Twain.
