Before you read this story, I am begging you to try and keep an open mind. If you come into this story angry — you will leave angry.

If you come into this story searching for the truth — then you will find the truth.

Nasty and Rude Comments on Medium

Since October 7th, I have received a deluge of comments, most of which are intelligent and respectful, but some of the people on Medium are just out-right bigots and anti-semitic hate mongers.

But I listen to everyone, regardless of how much hate you hold in your heart.

And I have been reading the comments of the nasty people who spend time on Medium because I’m trying to wrap my head around why you would want to believe the “fairy tale” that Hamas is telling.

Like if Hamas was telling a true story — yes, you should want to end the war immediately and also condemn Israel.

But no one stops to think — hold on?

Jewish people are the only people on the planet that have been persecuted from the days of Abraham through 2024. The truth is no other people have faced more adversity, more hate, more discrimination and more human suffering than the Jewish people.

So to think that Jews stole someone’s land — is interesting.

Again, you have to “WANT” to believe that story in order to make it true.

The Real History of Palestinians in Gaza

Whether you want to deny this history or not does not change the fact that it happened just as I’m telling it to you now. I admit that sometimes I hypothesize how real people might feel or behave— and I am aware that I am just supposing. (For those that don’t think I know the difference)

What no one likes to admit though is that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, the high priest of Palestinians was allies with Adolph Hitler.

Just in case you want to know the inner workings of that meeting, here is the transcript: https://www.timesofisrael.com/full-official-record-what-the-mufti-said-to-hitler/

What’s interesting when you read the transcript is that you get a real inner glimpse at Hitler’s inner mania. I don’t know how to say this politely, but Hitler was certifiably insane.

In the transcript, Hitler honestly believed that Great Britain and the Soviet Union were controlled by Jews.

I’m not quite sure what to do with that belief.

You have to deny so many true facts and history to come to that conclusion — that I don’t even know what to say at that point.

So let me state this clearly. The Soviet Union was not controlled by Jews. In fact, the Soviet Union made it illegal to practice Judaism. So can someone please tell me how a nation that declares Judaism illegal can be controlled by those same people??

And before the Soviet Union, the Russian Czars used to fund pogroms against the Jewish villages in Russia. And for those that don’t know anything about Russian history — the pogroms were state-sponsored harassment and murder events against the Jewish people by the Russian government.

But Hitler’s belief also denies another truth.

Why were the Jews in Russia to begin with?

It’s frustrating for me to see people claim that Jews are white European settlers, when the facts do not support such claims. So here’s the truth — all Jews used to live in Israel for thousands of years.

And then the Muslims (Palestinians) ethnically cleansed the Middle East of Jews and stole their land and exiled them.

If you were wondering why Jews live all over the world — blame the Muslims.

Oh right — we’re not allowed to do because that’s somehow Islamaphobic.

No its not — its just the truth.

Jews were in Israel before the Palestinians. The Palestinians came along and ethnically cleansed the Jews. And then the British Empire overthrew the Ottoman Empire.

And then all hell broke loose.

“But the Jews Stole Our Land”

This seems to be the sticking point of the protestors.

Which seems utterly ridiculous to me, since this is so easy to prove.

So what really happened in 1948??

What is the Nakba? Why do Palestinians insist they have a “right of return” and why do they keep chanting “from the river to the sea.”

So here’s the truth.

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, the spiritual leader of the Palestinians, was very excited to broker an alliance with Nazi Germany. The British Empire had just defeated the Ottomans in Israel and the Grand Mufti was pissed, to say the least.

Therefore, he was willing to do anything to get revenge on the British and killing a bunch of Jews was just the cherry on top, so to speak.

Try and put yourself in the Grand Mufti’s shoes in 1941 through 1948. In 1941, the Grand Mufti is overly confident about taking back control over Israel and the Middle East from the British because Hitler is defeating European nations one by one without must resistance.

Not only that, but Hitler with the active help of IBM is murdering millions of Jews at a rate that makes the death toll in Gaza seem like child’s play.

The Grand Mufti feels empowered in 1941.

Not so much in 1948, after Hitler and the Nazis are defeated by the British and the Allied forces.

Naturally, the Grand Mufti and by extension all the Palestinians hate the British and the Allied forces.

Did I mention they want to murder Jews too?

At this point in history, the Grand Mufti realizes that he has no legacy to speak of. He has a failed alliance with Hitler. He did not expel the British and he didn’t kill any Jews.

As far as the Muslim world and Palestinians are concerned, the Grand Mufti is a horrible leader.

So what do meglo-maniacs do?

They act insane — that’s what they do.

In 1947, the UN decides to create a two-state solution for Jews and Palestinians in Israel. The same two-state solution that all of the protestors keep chanting for.

So pay close attention here.

The Jews agree to the two-state solution and the Grand Mufti and Palestinians tell the UN to go “suck a lemon.”

No joke.

But the Grand Mufti goes one step further.

Now it’s important to understand the context in history. The British have defeated the Ottoman Empire, which means the Grand Mufti and Palestinians are now under British rule, or white colonialists as the protestors would put it.

The Grand Mufti knows that the Jews have nothing to do with the British — they are just people who don’t matter.

So when the UN declares the State of Israel as recognized in 1948, that’s the last draw. It’s do or die time for his moment in history. And because he’s literally insane, he think that declaring War on Israel is a smart decision.

But you have to understand where the Grand Mufti is coming from.

  1. The Grand Mufti believes that Muslims are a superior race
  2. The Grand Mufti believes that Jews are cockroaches
  3. The Grand Mufti believes the British are white pigs

Do you need to know anymore?

If these are your beliefs, what do you think the Grand Mufti never considered happening?

  1. That Jews would defeat a mighty Muslim army
  2. The Muslims would ever lose a war
  3. That Muslims are not a superior race

It’s important that you understand the origins of Palestinian belief systems, before you start chanting their talking points. Therefore, on the one hand Nazis believe that the Ayran race was superior and on the other hand the Grand Mufti believed that Palestinians were the superior Muslim race.

Once you realize this fact — you can start to understand why no other Arab nation wants to allow Palestinian refugees.

And because of this belief system, the Grand Mufit in his last stand decides to rally every single Arab nation against Israel and the entire Middle East declares war on Jews and Israel in 1948.

This is what is known as the War of Independence.

Or if you’re a Muslim Supremacist — you refer to this as the Nakba of 1948.

And for those Black Americans struggling to see the “context,” let me help you out here. How would you feel if we started to call the Civil War, the “oppression of the North?”

Or what if we started to wave around the Confederate Flag?

You wouldn’t be too happy — and that’s because the Civil War was fought for freedom and liberation of slaves.

If we started to re-write history and say that the Confederates were “heroic” people because they fought against the US government to try and keep slavery in existence — it would be a huge slap in the face to every single African-American.

Well, maybe now you can understand how disrespectful and dehumanizing it is for Palestinians to call the War of Independence, the Nakba.

In 1948, the Grand Mufti and every single Palestinian declared War on Jews and the newly established State of Israel with one goal in mind — murder every last Jew.

But guess what?

The Grand Mufti and the Palestinians lost that war.

And here’s the problem with that.

The “land” that Palestinians keep trying to say they have a “right of return” doesn’t belong to them. And here’s why?

Because the Grand Mufti was so overly confident that Muslims were a superior race and that Jews were cockroaches — he honestly believed there was no way that the Jews would win the war.

It was inconceivable to him that a few thousand Jews could defeat the mighty million man Army of the Arabs.

But here’s the point.

The Grand Mufti and all the Arab nations told the innocent Palestinian civilians living in Israel and surrounding land in 1948 to evacuate immediately.

So in 1948, what you see is a great migration of Palestinians to every other Arab nation, including the territory of Gaza.

What Hamas wants you to think is the Jews drove the Palestinians out from Israel and stole their land. But that’s not what actually happened. The truth is that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Arab nations told the civilian population to evacuate, so they could slaughter the Jews more easily.

In other words, they wanted to protect innocent Muslim civilian lives and only target the Jews.

And that decision backfired.

Which might be why Palestinians refuse to evacuate Gaza.

The inconvenient truth is that Palestinians fled Israel because their Muslim leaders told them to get out. And after the Jews won the War of Independence in 1948 — they took over all the land that was abandoned.

I know this is a bitter pill to swallow, but there’s no land to “return to.”

Conclusion

I was going to add more information into this article, but I think adding more would just make the arguments too complicated. This is a huge point in this debate.

You either deny reality and the true history of 1948 and the State of Israel or you follow the facts.

I think there can be honest discussion and perspectives once you acknowledge reality. Palestinians fled Israel because the Muslim military was trying to exterminate the Jews.

The innocent Palestinians were not trying to murder Jews, their military leaders were.

And those innocent Palestinians listened to their misguided leaders and left their homes, never to return. And they didn’t return because Israel won the war they weren’t supposed to win.

Hopefully all of that makes more sense to people.

I understand the confusion out there.

Hamas is a really good storyteller, but I’m learning how to be a better communicator than a terrorist group. Not easy, but I believer the pen is mightier than the sword and I will take down Hamas with my words.
