Messages from ordinary Australians after the Government announced its intention to recognise a Palestinian state.

We have been inun­dat­ed by mes­sages from the Aus­tralian pub­lic since the gov­ern­ment announced its inten­tion to recog­nise a Pales­tin­ian state. Here is a selec­tion of the mes­sages we have received:

I am writ­ing to you to say how sick at heart I feel with the way our Prime Min­is­ter and oth­er Labour min­is­ters have betrayed an ally. I have always admired the Jew­ish peo­ple and have longed to vis­it Israel.

When Octo­ber 7th hap­pened, I was hor­ri­fied by the lit­tle I saw. I can’t describe what I felt. I was even more dis­gust­ed to see what hap­pened on our streets imme­di­ate­ly after. No recog­ni­tion of loss, just hatred. I was ashamed of my coun­try and ashamed of the peo­ple who demon­strat­ed. The abhor­rent behav­iour of our “lead­ers” was astound­ing. I saw cow­ardice and lack of moral fibre. I sup­port Israel and I sup­port the Aus­tralian Jew­ish Com­mu­ni­ty. At every oppor­tu­ni­ty, I try to speak up and chal­lenge the pro-Pales­tine move­ment for the sham it is.

The march on the Syd­ney Har­bour Bridge has been record­ed in news­pa­pers and online but his­to­ry will treat this event harsh­ly.

The march illus­trat­ed the igno­rance of a nation. It also illus­trat­ed that many Aus­tralians are too lazy to do some fact check­ing to find the truth. The sad­dest thing of all is that I found out that Aus­tralia had an anti-semit­ic heart. My father fought for this coun­try so that all who lived in Aus­tralia could be free to live their life with­out fear. It sad­dens me to see that maybe that sen­ti­ment is slip­ping away.

I’ve nev­er done some­thing like this before and I don’t real­ly know who to send this mes­sage to but here goes.

I am an Aus­tralian cit­i­zen, 5th gen­er­a­tion. We live in rur­al Vic­to­ria and I am a mechan­ic and my wife is a nurse.

I just want to say that the Aus­tralian gov­ern­men­t’s lat­est and most dis­turb­ing act to recog­nise Pales­tine as a state ignor­ing the atroc­i­ties com­mit­ted by Hamas (they are Pales­tin­ian) has left me feel­ing absolute­ly heart­bro­ken and at the same time furi­ous. I’d like to vent to our local inde­pen­dent mem­ber Helen Haynes but she is tarred with the same brush our … govt is.

This Gov­ern­ment does not speak for me or the mem­bers of this house­hold. …. We, as do all of our friends here in the coun­try stand in sol­i­dar­i­ty with Israel. Please stay strong.

I wish to state that the cur­rent Aus­tralian gov­ern­ment has made a ter­ri­ble mis­take in recog­nis­ing Pales­tine, and wish to assure you that the vast major­i­ty of think­ing and fair mind­ed Aus­tralians sup­port Israel unre­served­ly!… I wish all of the Israeli peo­ple well, and please remem­ber that you have many friends in Aus­tralia!

In Decem­ber 1941, Pres­i­dent Roo­sevelt said the Japan­ese attack on Pearl Har­bour would go down in his­to­ry as a day of infamy.

So will yes­ter­day – and it was done by our own gov­ern­ment.

Shame­ful.

With my con­tin­u­ing very best wish­es

A brief note of sup­port.

I am not Jew­ish and will like­ly nev­er be. How­ev­er, I would like to express my total sup­port for the Jew­ish peo­ple and the State of Israel regard­ing the cur­rent sit­u­a­tion in Israel and Gaza, and worst of all against the abuse being suf­fered by Jew­ish groups in Aus­tralia.

In my cir­cle of peo­ple (Bris­bane, Aus­tralia) I know of no one that sup­ports or can jus­ti­fy the atroc­i­ties of 7 Oct and the con­tin­u­ous hold­ing of, and abuse, of inno­cent hostages.

Fur­ther, I can only express my dis­gust at the cur­rent Aus­tralian Government’s, espe­cial­ly the con­ge­nial idiot of a Prime Min­is­ter (cur­rent Aus­tralian PM), sup­port for a Pales­tine State. This action is akin to reward­ing crim­i­nals for their actions in break­ing the law and fail­ure to bring mur­ders to jus­tice.

All the best for the future and may the Jew­ish peo­ple always be wel­come in Aus­tralia, be part of our com­mu­ni­ty and find eter­nal peace and suc­cess in the future. And may this ongo­ing abuse of human rights against Jew­ish peo­ple cease as soon as pos­si­ble.

Thank you for your time.

Hel­lo every­one at the Coun­cil. I am so very sor­ry to read this – as an Aus­tralian cit­i­zen I have nev­er been pre­sent­ed with a par­ty polit­i­cal elec­tion plat­form con­tain­ing any­thing as sig­nif­i­cant as this huge U‑turn. No-one vot­ed for this. Please keep these emails full of fac­tu­al con­tent as this helps con­ver­sa­tions.

I am very dis­ap­point­ed by our Gov­ern­men­t’s recent deci­sion.

‘I wish to reg­is­ter my strong objec­tion to your Gov­ern­men­t’s recog­ni­tion of the Pales­tine State.

In my view it is pure­ly a polit­i­cal state­ment with­out any con­sid­er­a­tion of how such a state can be cre­at­ed or free and fair elec­tions held to legit­imise a gov­ern­ment to ensure that its peo­ple are best cared for and impor­tant­ly fed so they can live in peace and pos­ter­i­ty.

It sends the wrong mes­sage to Hamas, which remains a ter­ror­ist organ­i­sa­tion with­out pur­pose oth­er than to impose mis­ery on its own peo­ple and Israel.

With this ill con­ceived and mean­ing­less ges­ture Aus­tralia has done what the West did in the 1940s to both Aus­tralian and Israeli Jews – ignored the real­i­ties and the hope that it would all go away.

You have lost me mate – let me say to a Labor vote in the future – “nev­er again”.’

OPEN LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER ANTHONY ALBANESE AND FOREIGN MINISTER PENNY WONG
On the Recog­ni­tion of a Pales­tin­ian State and the Sys­tem­at­ic Per­se­cu­tion of Chris­t­ian Pales­tini­ans

Dear Prime Min­is­ter Albanese and For­eign Min­is­ter Wong,

Your gov­ern­men­t’s recog­ni­tion of a Pales­tin­ian state rais­es urgent and deeply trou­bling ques­tions.

Is the state you are sup­port­ing tru­ly intend­ed to be a nation for all Pales­tini­ans — includ­ing its Chris­t­ian minor­i­ty, who have long suf­fered under both the Pales­tin­ian Author­i­ty and Hamas? Or is it a state for only those who con­form to a nar­row reli­gious ide­ol­o­gy?

The decline of Chris­tian­i­ty in the Pales­tin­ian ter­ri­to­ries is well doc­u­ment­ed and stark. In 1922, Chris­tians made up around 11% of the pop­u­la­tion. Today, they rep­re­sent less than 1% — a shock­ing col­lapse that can­not be dis­missed as mere coin­ci­dence. It cor­re­lates direct­ly with decades of reli­gious intol­er­ance, social mar­gin­al­iza­tion, legal dis­crim­i­na­tion, and in some cas­es, out­right per­se­cu­tion, par­tic­u­lar­ly under Hamas and the PA.

Con­sid­er the facts:

• Beth­le­hem, once a major­i­ty-Chris­t­ian city and the birth­place of Christ, was 86% Chris­t­ian in 1950. After the Pales­tin­ian Author­i­ty assumed con­trol in the 1990s, this num­ber plum­met­ed. By the 2017 cen­sus, Chris­tians made up just 10% of the pop­u­la­tion.
• In Gaza, Chris­tians once num­bered around 5,000. After the rise of Hamas and, more recent­ly, the events of Octo­ber 7, 2023, the Chris­t­ian pop­u­la­tion has shrunk to few­er than 1,000 in a pop­u­la­tion of over 2 mil­lion.
• In 2016, Gaza’s own Bish­op Alex­ios warned of forced con­ver­sions of Chris­tians to Islam under threat of vio­lence and death.
• Chris­t­ian cler­gy and insti­tu­tions have faced per­sis­tent harass­ment, intim­i­da­tion, and des­e­cra­tion of holy sites. The envi­ron­ment cre­at­ed under Hamas and the PA has been open­ly hos­tile to reli­gious minori­ties.

These are not iso­lat­ed inci­dents. They form part of a sys­temic pat­tern of exclu­sion and intim­i­da­tion, amount­ing in effect — if not in offi­cial pol­i­cy — to a form of reli­gious cleans­ing. Chris­tian­i­ty is dying in the land of its birth, not because of nat­ur­al decline, but because of active pres­sure and fear.

And yet, the silence from your gov­ern­ment — and from much of the inter­na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty — has been deaf­en­ing.

Your recog­ni­tion of a Pales­tin­ian state with­out simul­ta­ne­ous demands for plu­ral­ism, reli­gious free­dom, and minor­i­ty pro­tec­tion sends a dan­ger­ous mes­sage: that the per­se­cu­tion of Chris­tians is a tol­er­a­ble price for polit­i­cal expe­di­en­cy.

If the future Pales­tin­ian state can­not tol­er­ate the Chris­t­ian minor­i­ty with­in its own peo­ple, what hope do you think it holds for coex­is­tence with oth­ers — includ­ing Israel?

Sup­port for Pales­tin­ian self-deter­mi­na­tion must not come at the cost of turn­ing a blind eye to oppres­sion with­in that very soci­ety. Recog­ni­tion must come with con­di­tions — with a firm expec­ta­tion that human rights, includ­ing free­dom of reli­gion, will be upheld for all.

Do you sleep well at night know­ing that your deci­sions may accel­er­ate the extinc­tion of Chris­tian­i­ty in its holi­est sites?

The Chris­t­ian pop­u­la­tion of the Holy Land is dwin­dling because those in pow­er — both local and glob­al — refuse to speak plain­ly about the source of their suf­fer­ing. If your recog­ni­tion of a Pales­tin­ian state ignores this truth, then it is moral­ly incom­plete.

We urge you to recon­sid­er the impli­ca­tions of your posi­tion, and to speak out — clear­ly and unequiv­o­cal­ly — for the rights of all Pales­tini­ans, not just the ones whose voic­es are loud­est.

It is time for your organ­i­sa­tion to inform Aus­tralians that there is an east and west Pales­tine. East is Arab Pales­tine (Jor­dan) and West is Jew­ish Pales­tine (Gaza, Israel, Judea and Samaria). Peo­ple need to be informed of the truth.

No such place in his­to­ry as Pales­tine or Pales­tin­ian peo­ple.

There have been hun­dreds of diarists from bib­li­cal record­ing their trav­els to Pales­tine with­out ever refer­ring to those cur­rent­ly iden­ti­fy­ing them­selves as indige­nous Pales­tini­ans

…

Those writ­ers, researchers, trav­ellers, reli­gious, polit­i­cal and mil­i­tary lead­ers who since time immemo­r­i­al jour­neyed or inhab­it­ed and record­ed their expe­ri­ences in Pales­tine nev­er in their writ­ings allud­ed to a peo­ple, race or tribe indige­nous to the geog­ra­phy known as Pales­tini­ans.

None of those writ­ers ever ref­er­enced for exam­ple, a war, bat­tle or con­flict fought by Pales­tini­ans against any domes­tic or for­eign invad­er in pro­tec­tion of their habi­tat let alone the name of any indige­nous Pales­tin­ian leader. The fact is the indige­nous Pales­tin­ian is an his­tor­i­cal myth – an anthro­po­log­i­cal mir­a­cle.

I have not­ed numer­ous indi­vid­u­als through the cen­turies who detailed their trav­els through the geo­graph­i­cal area we now term Israel and the Pales­tin­ian Ter­ri­to­ries and none of these his­to­ri­ans, researchers, trav­ellers and diarists ever refer to the Pales­tin­ian peo­ple. And the rea­son is sim­ple and log­i­cal as the Pales­tini­ans are immi­grants to the geog­ra­phy.

Below are just some exam­ples of Arab com­men­ta­tors who attest to my state­ment.

Auni Bey Abdul – Hadi, Syr­i­an Arab leader to the British Peel Com­mis­sion, 1937:

“There is no such coun­try as Pales­tine. Pales­tine is a term the Zion­ists invent­ed. There is no Pales­tine in the Koran, it is alien to us”.

Ahmadd Shukan Arab Ambas­sador to the Unit­ed Nations, 1956:

“Such a crea­ture as Pales­tine does not exist at all ….”

King Hus­sein of Jor­dan, stat­ed in 1960:

“Since 1948 Arab lead­ers have approached the so-called Pales­tin­ian prob­lem in an irre­spon­si­ble man­ner. They have used the Pales­tin­ian issue for self­ish polit­i­cal pur­pos­es. This is both ridicu­lous and crim­i­nal”.

Walid Shoe­bat, for­mer PLO ter­ror­ist stat­ed:

“Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jor­dan­ian and overnight I became a Pales­tin­ian?”

Zuhair Mushin . Mem­ber of the PLO Mil­i­tary Coun­cil in an inter­view with the Dutch paper Trouw, March 1977:

“There are no dif­fer­ences between Jor­da­ni­ans, Syr­i­ans and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation. It is only for polit­i­cal rea­sons that we care­ful­ly under­line our ”Pales­tin­ian ” identity…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”.

Per­verse­ly even the most high pro­file so called “Pales­tin­ian”, Yass­er Arafat, real name Mohammed Abdel Rah­man Raouf al – Qud­wa, who was actu­al­ly Egypt­ian, admit­ted in his auto­bi­og­ra­phy that the Pales­tini­ans were an inven­tion.

“If there is any such thing as a Pales­tin­ian it is I, Arafat who cre­at­ed them”.

Joseph Farah, Arab writer and his­to­ri­an in his book Myths Of The Mid­dle East:

“There has nev­er been a land known as Pales­tine gov­erned by Pales­tini­ans who are Arabs …”

Those iden­ti­fy­ing today as “Pales­tini­ans’ are third and fourth gen­er­a­tion descen­dants of immi­grants from sur­round­ing Arab coun­tries. There are a moun­tain of Gov­ern­ment reports, arti­cles, ref­er­ence books and mate­r­i­al prov­ing beyond doubt that the vast major­i­ty of Arabs were not land own­ing Pales­tini­ans who had been indige­nous inhab­i­tants but immi­grants ben­e­fit­ting from the eco­nom­ic advan­tages that Zion­ism cre­at­ed. More­over, those Arabs nev­er iden­ti­fied as Pales­tini­ans, a term they believed made a mock­ery of their orig­i­na­tion. as the quo­ta­tions above ver­i­fy.

Arab immi­gra­tion and Zion­ism com­bined to improve the econ­o­my of the area and it is intrigu­ing to revert to the state­ments made by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem , Amin al – Hus­sei­ni , to Sir Lau­rie Ham­mond of the Peel Com­mis­sion in 1937 in which he con­firmed and admit­ted that no land had been stolen by the Zion­ists but all had been legal­ly pur­chased . The land buy­ers were the Jew­ish Nation­al Fund or indi­vid­ual phil­an­thropists.

Many diarized about the influx of Arab immi­gra­tion into Pales­tine dur­ing the first waves of Zion­ism.

James Finn, Papers Relat­ing to the Dis­tur­bances in Syr­ia, June 2nd 1860:

“I learn of the arrival of six thou­sand of the Bnei Sukhr Arabs at Tiberias who are nev­er seen this side of the Jor­dan”.

C.G. Smith – Stud­ies on Pales­tine Dur­ing the Ottoman Peri­od:

“After 1870, the Turk­ish for­ward pol­i­cy includ­ed the plant­i­ng of Cir­cass­ian colonies in the coun­try”.

The Ency­clo­pe­dia Brit­tan­i­ca 1911 records:

“There are very large con­tin­gents from the Mediter­ranean coun­tries espe­cial­ly Arme­nia, Greece and Italy. Turkomen set­tlers and a fair­ly large Afghan colony, Motaw­ila immi­grants from Per­sia, tribes of Kurds, a Bosn­ian colony, Cir­cass­ian set­tle­ments and a large Alger­ian and Sudanese ele­ment”.

Tew­lik Bey El Hourani, Gov­er­nor of Houran Province, South­west Syr­ia stat­ed in an inter­view with La Syne August 12th 1934, that “in the last few months up to thir­ty six thou­sand Houransee Syr­i­ans had entered and set­tled in Pales­tine”.

De Hass, His­to­ry of Pales­tine, 1934:

“In 1860 entire Alger­ian tribes immi­grat­ed en masse to Safed. The Mus­lims of Safed are ”most­ly descend­ed from these Moor­ish set­tlers and from Kurds who arrived a lit­tle ear­li­er to the area”.

It is obvi­ous that immi­grants were not only Arabs but Euro­pean Chris­t­ian and at one time Chris­tians made up near­ly fifty per­cent of post 1964 Pales­tin­ian pop­u­la­tion. The Mus­lim Pales­tini­ans have been very suc­cess­ful in eth­ni­cal­ly cleans­ing the Chris­tians now account­ing for approx­i­mate­ly five per­cent of today’s Pales­tini­ans.

De Hass His­to­ry of Pales­tine 1934 con­tin­ued:

“Today’s Pales­tini­ans are immi­grants from many nations; ” Balka­ns , Greeks, Syr­i­ans, Latins, Egyp­tians , Turks, Arme­ni­ans, Ital­ians, Per­sians, Kurds, Ger­mans, Afghans, Cir­cas­sians, Bosni­ans, Sudanese, Samar­i­tans, Alge­ri­ans, Motaw­ila, Tar­tars, Hun­gar­i­ans, Scots, Navarese, Bre­tons, Eng­lish, Franks, Ruthe­ni­ans, Bohemi­ans„ Bul­gar­i­ans, , Geor­gians, Per­sian, Copts, Indi­ans, Maronites and many oth­ers”.

The Pales­tine Peel Com­mis­sion Report , Lon­don, 1937:

“The ille­gal Arab immi­gra­tion was not only going on from the Sinai , but also from Tran­sjor­dan and Syr­ia, and it is very dif­fi­cult to make a case out for the mis­ery of the Arabs if at the same time their com­pa­tri­ots from adjoin­ing states could not be kept from going in to share that mis­ery”.

Win­ston Churchill, 1922, A Peace To End All Peace:

“The Arabs would have sat in the dark for­ev­er had not the Zion­ist engi­neers har­nessed the Jor­dan Riv­er for elec­tri­fi­ca­tion. Now they swarm into Pales­tine seek­ing the light”.

In 1939 Churchill wrote:

“So far from being per­se­cut­ed. the Arabs have crowd­ed into the coun­try and mul­ti­plied until their pop­u­la­tion has increased more than even all world Jew­ry could lift up the Jew­ish pop­u­la­tion”.

Ernst Franken­stein in his Jus­tice for my Peo­ple, 1943:

“Ibrahim Pasha the 1831 Egypt­ian con­queror of Pales­tine left behind him per­ma­nent colonies of Egyp­tians at Besian, Nablus, Irbid, Acre and Jaf­fa – into Jaf­fa alone at least 2000 have been import­ed”.

James William Parkes in his His­to­ry of the Peo­ples of Pales­tine, 1970 page 212, wrote thus, “There are vil­lages pop­u­lat­ed whol­ly by set­tlers from oth­er por­tions of the Turk­ish Empire in the 19th cen­tu­ry. There are vil­lages of Bosni­ans, Cir­cas­sians and Egyp­tians”.

How is it that the fic­tion­al Pales­tini­ans has man­aged to con­vince the world that they are the his­tor­i­cal peo­ples of the geog­ra­phy they claim has been stolen from them by the Zion­ists. The Pales­tini­ans are a fic­ti­tious peo­ple that have mor­phed into fact. The world how­ev­er choos­es to ignore the facts. The mod­ern anti­semitism is to sup­port Pales­tin­ian claims which his­tor­i­cal­ly and legal­ly have nev­er exist­ed.

You can tell where the Arabs come from by their last names. Time to get this out into the pub­lic domain.Palestinian?”

Zuhair Mushin . Mem­ber of the PLO Mil­i­tary Coun­cil in an inter­view with the Dutch paper Trouw, March 1977:

“There are no dif­fer­ences between Jor­da­ni­ans, Syr­i­ans and Lebanese. We are all part of one nation.

“The Arabs would have sat in the dark for­ev­er had not the Zion­ist engi­neers har­nessed the Jor­dan Riv­er for elec­tri­fi­ca­tion. Now they swarm into Pales­tine seek­ing the light”.

In 1939 Churchill wrote:

“So far from being per­se­cut­ed. the Arabs have crowd­ed into the coun­try and mul­ti­plied until their pop­u­la­tion has increased more than even all world Jew­ry could lift up the Jew­ish pop­u­la­tion”.

Ernst Franken­stein in his Jus­tice for my Peo­ple, 1943:

“Ibrahim Pasha the 1831 Egypt­ian con­queror of Pales­tine left behind him per­ma­nent colonies of Egyp­tians at Besian, Nablus, Irbid, Acre and Jaf­fa – into Jaf­fa alone at least 2000 have been import­ed”.

James William Parkes in his His­to­ry of the Peo­ples of Pales­tine, 1970 page 212, wrote thus, “There are vil­lages pop­u­lat­ed whol­ly by set­tlers from oth­er por­tions of the Turk­ish Empire in the 19th cen­tu­ry. There are vil­lages of Bosni­ans, Cir­cas­sians and Egyp­tians”.

How is it that the fic­tion­al Pales­tini­ans has man­aged to con­vince the world that they are the his­tor­i­cal peo­ples of the geog­ra­phy they claim has been stolen from them by the Zion­ists. The Pales­tini­ans are a fic­ti­tious peo­ple that have mor­phed into fact. The world how­ev­er choos­es to ignore the facts. The mod­ern anti­semitism is to sup­port Pales­tin­ian claims which his­tor­i­cal­ly and legal­ly have nev­er exist­ed.

You can tell where the Arabs come from by their last names. Time to get this out into the pub­lic domain.
