Official PA daily: Jews never ruled Judea and Samaria, but even if they did, the Israelites of the Bible were in fact Arab tribes and not related to Jews of today
Op-ed by Bakr Abu Bakr, member of Fatah’s Revolutionary Council and regular columnist for official PA daily
“This occupier has been distorting history ever since it claimed ownership of Palestine and up to its attack against what it is calling, without proof, falsely and deceitfully, ‘Judea and Samaria.’ No territories of Judea and Samaria belonging to Solomon, David and Joshua ever existed here, and even if they did exist in the distant past, the Jews of today have nothing to do with the People of Israel mentioned in the Quran and the Bible, who were Arab tribes that believed in Judaism and disappeared.”
