FORGOTTEN FACTS - IT IS THE MUSLIMS WHO ARE THE COLONIZERS AND OCCUPIERS IN ISRAEL, IRAQ AND SYRIA - And many other places in the world.

The Muslim population in Israel arrived through conquest centuries ago from the Arabian peninsula. 
Later, more came in to occupy the land. 
 
Jews are the indigenous people of Israel.
 
By Ezekiel Doiny, Gatestone Institute  
The Yazidi in Iraq and the Christian Copts in Egypt are not "occupiers" or "settlers;" neither are the Jews in Israel. They are all victims of a common enemy that seems to want a Middle East free of non-Muslims.

The current Palestinian narrative is that all Muslims in Palestine are natives and all Jews are settlers. This narrative is false.
 
There has been a small but almost continuous Jewish presence in Palestine since the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome two thousand years ago, and, as we will see, most of the Muslims living in Palestine when the state of Israel was declared in 1948 were Muslim colonists from other parts of the Ottoman Empire who had been resettled and living in Palestine for fewer than 60 years.
An image made available by Jihadist media outlet Welayat Raqa on June 30, 2014, allegedly shows a member of the IS (Islamic State) militant group parading with a tank in a street in the northern rebel-held Syrian city of Raqa.
Islam spread by brutal conquest, like ISIS today
 
There are two important historical events usually overlooked in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
 
One is the use that Muslim rulers made of the jizya (a discriminatory tax imposed only on non-Muslims, to "protect" them from being killed or having their property destroyed) to reduce the quantity of Jews living in Palestine before the British Mandate was instituted in 1922.
 
The second were the incentives by the Ottoman government to relocate displaced Muslim populations from other parts of the Ottoman Empire in Palestine.
 
Until the late 1800s entire ancient Jewish communities had to flee Palestine to escape the brutality of Muslim authorities.
 
As Egyptian historian Bat Ye'or writes in her book, The Dhimmi:
 
"The Jizya was paid in a humiliating public ceremony in which the non-Muslim while paying was struck in the head. If these taxes were not paid women and children were reduced to slavery, men were imprisoned and tortured until a ransom was paid for them.
 
The Jewish communities in many cities under Muslim Rule was ruined for such demands. This custom of legalized financial abuses and extortion shattered the indigenous pre-Arab populations almost totally eliminating what remained of its peasantry...
 
In 1849 the Jews of Tiberias envisaged exile because of the brutality, exactions, and injustice of the Muslim authorities. In addition to ordinary taxes, an Arab Sheik that ruled Hebron demanded that Jews pay an extra five thousand piastres annually for the protections of their lives and property. The Sheik threatened to attack and expel them from Hebron if it was not paid."
 
The Muslim rulers not only kept the number of Jews low through discriminatory taxes, they also increased the Muslim population by providing incentives for Muslim colonists to settle in the area. Incentives included free land, 12 years exemption from taxes and exemption from military service.
 
Bat Ye'or continues:
 
"By the early 1800s the Arab population in Palestine was very little (just 246,000) it was in the late 1800s and early 1900s that most Muslim Colonists settled in Palestine because of incentives by the Ottoman Government to resettle displaced Muslim populations because of events such as the Austro-Hungarian Occupation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Crimean War and World War 1.
 
Those events created a great quantity of Muslim Refugees that were resettled somewhere else in the Ottoman Empire... In 1878 an Ottoman law granted lands in Palestine to Muslim colonists. Muslim colonists from Crimea and the Balkans settled in Anatolia, Armenia, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine."
 
Justin McCarthy, a professor of history at the University of Louisville, writing in his Annotated Map, "Forced Migration and Mortality in the Ottoman Empire," also notes that there were about five million Muslims displaced due to the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Crimean War, Balkan wars, the Turkish war of independence and World War I.
 
Sergio DellaPergola, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in his paper "Demography in Israel/Palestine: Trends, Prospects and Policy Implications," provides estimates of the population of Palestine in different periods. As the demographic data below shows, most Muslims living in Palestine in 1948 when the State of Israel was created had been living there for fewer than 60 years:
1890: Arab Population 432,000
1947: Arab Population 1,181,000
Growth in Arab population from 1890 to 1947: 800,000
The Yazidi in Iraq and the Christian Copts in Egypt are not "settlers" and "occupiers;" neither are the Jews in Israel. They are victims of a common enemy that seems to want a Middle East free of non-Muslims.

The Jewish Peoples Indigenous Rights

From Abraham, to the Exodus, and then to the Roman and Muslim conquests.  Israel was always the land of the Jews. 

In 1920, the Jewish Nation was officially handed legal title to the land. At the Peace Conference in San Remo, Italy the Supreme Council of the leaders of the victorious allies, who liberated the territory of Palestine from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, transferred that title to the Jewish People.
 
The allies had the right to do so under international law under the right of conquest that was the law up until this time.
The reason it was agreed at the 1919 Paris Conference that the Jewish People would receive the territory of Palestine, was because of the Jewish People’s historical national connection to the land.

 
With more than three thousand years of Jewish history in the land, you would think that the United Nations might recognize the Jews as being indigenous to Israel/Palestine. However, this is not the case. Jews are not recognized as being indigenous to Israel or anywhere else in the world.

Even more surprising, according to the UNHCR Refworld World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples - Palestine, there are two types of Jews in "areas of Palestine occupied by Israel in 1967, namely the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip:  There are "Jews"  and "Jewish Settlers".
