PA Daily lies: Palestinians have been in Israel for 6,000 years while Jews "are actually Khazars who have falsely called themselves the children of Israel"
Excerpt of a column by Yahya Rabah, regular columnist for the official PA daily
Headline: “On the 14th anniversary of the death as a Martyr of [former PLO Chairman and PA President] Yasser Arafat – ‘The Palestinian memory is unable to forget’”
“The Palestinian people, which has been in its homeland Palestine for more than 6,000 years, was expelled (sic., the Palestinians have no history prior to the modern period). From that time on, Palestine is known as ‘Israel.’ This is even though thousands of historians, among whom there is not one Arab historian, say that those who currently call themselves Israelis have no genetic connection – even at a rate of one to a million – to the original children of Israel, the 12 ‘sons of Jacob,’ and that they are actually Khazars who have falsely called themselves by this name (sic., genetic research has proven modern Jews originate in Israel, and theories on Khazar origins have been thoroughly debunked).”
