The only time "Palestine" was ruled by "Palestinians" or any people from the Arabian Peninsula was briefly around 635 A.D.

"Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel...

Why JESUS -
WHY ASTROLOGY AND ASTRONOMY IS CONNECTED TO THE MYTH OF JESUS


A couple of interesting views especially in the last part when they mention US fed reserve bank as a private bank loaning money to the govt on interest. They also try to establish the cause of war mongering by US to this cartel of private bankers and creators of new world order. They are trying to prove that christianity is modelled on early pagan gods in the first part.
