Many Filipinos got the “Free Palestine” propaganda wrong

 

I'm a Filipino supporter of Israel, amidst a wave of zombie, "Palestinian cause" supporters in the Philippines

There's a large, hivemind of Greta Thunburg-like zombies in the Philippines, specially in the tourist island spot of Siargao, that is hiding their disguised of the Jewish / Israeli / Zionists identify. These "activists" believed everything the propaganda lies of Palestine is feeding them -- including Israel being labeled as colonizers, fake Jews, Israel committing "genocide", all the way down to Netanyahu being the villain in their war against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

It doesn't help that the fuel prices in the Philippines skyrocketed the highest in Asia after Iran's terrorist action of hitting merchant ships passing by the Straight of Hormuz.

I'm proud that the Philippines was the only Asian country who voted YES during the UN's Partition Plan in 1947, but now, I'm totally saddened by Filipinos protesting against a planned Jewish Center / Chabad House in Siargao. A lot of Filipinos in Siargao are singling out the Jewish / Israeli / Zionist tourists out of A LOT of nationalities visiting the place, as the only race / religion / nationality being entitle and rude to locals.

These so-called "activists" barely scratched the surface of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and focused mainly on their allege "genocide" of Israel against the Gazans, who largely cheered during the Hamas massacre of civilian Israelis celebrating life at a music festival. They can't even acknowledge that genocide is exactly what Hamas did -- and a lot of Palestinians celebrated it.

Many Filipinos got the “Free Palestine” propaganda wrong

I get many insults and negative comments about me being pro-Israel saying Israelis / Zionists are “land grabbers” and would just say “Free Palestine” as if it is a Bible truth and expect you not to rebut. Then when I do rebut, insults followed – without explaining why they think Israelis / Zionists are “land grabbers” and how they intend to free Palestine, when there is no free country of Palestine to begin with.

I doubt if they even know what the whole phrase is, and if they can even name which river and which sea.

These sympathizers of Palestinians either is not aware of what Jordan actually did after the 1948 war OR totally ignored that part of history. They can’t even mentioned the 1950 annexation of Judea and Samaria (originally partitioned for the Arabs) by Jordan.

Jordan seized that land (others called the West Bank) after the Arabs defeat in the 1948 War of Independence of Israel. That’s where the stateless problem of the Palestinians started. That annexation by Jordan was illegal under international law and that’s simply land grab.

During that period when Jordan is the power in Judea and Samaria, Jews were expelled from these land and even from East Jerusalem. No Jews were left there and Jordan even destroyed synagouges and used the tombstone from the Mount of Olives to build facilities for the Jordanian army.

Similar to what the Romans did to the area of the Holy Land (renaming it Syria Palestina, to severe ties to the Jewish connection), Jordan renamed Judea and Samaria as West Bank – an invented name, just to severe the Jewish connection to the ancient names of Judea and Samaria.

From the 1950 Annexation of Jordan until 1988, people living there have a Jordanian passport. As a result of the 1950 annexation of the West Bank, influx of some 250,000 additional Palestinian refugees into the Jordan happened. Even after the 1967 Israeli capture of this area (after winning a war that they didn’t started).

Those Palestinians that these Filipinos are supporting are Jordanian citizens – until the King of Jordan suddenly revoke/renounced their citizenship. King Hussein stripped them of their nationality and some 1.5 million Jordanians became stateless. We know these former Jordanian citizens as Palestinians today. Stateless.

BTW, The State of Palestine was officially declared by the PLO on November 15, 1988, and the UN designated Palestine as non-member observer state. Source: https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/04/1148351#:~:text=As%20a%20Permanent%20Observer%20State,one%20Jewish%20and%20one%20Arab.

Now tell me fellow Filipinos, who are the “land grabbers” and “occupiers” again?
