The frontier with Syria was laid down by the Anglo-French Convention of the 23rd December, 1920, and its delimitation was ratified in 1923. Briefly stated, the boundaries are as follows: -\r\n\r\nNorth. \u2013 From Ras en Naqura on the Mediterranean eastwards to a point west of Qadas, thence in a northerly direction to Metulla, thence east to a point west of Banias.\r\n\r\nEast. \u2013 From Banias in a southerly direction east of Lake Hula to Jisr Banat Ya\u2019pub, thence along a line east of the Jordan and the Lake of Tiberias and on to El Hamme station on the Samakh-Deraa railway line, thence along the centre of the river Yarmuq to its confluence with the Jordan, thence along the centres of the Jordan, the Dead Sea and the Wadi Araba to a point on the Gulf of Aqaba two miles west of the town of Aqaba, thence along the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba to Ras Jaba.\r\n\r\nSouth. \u2013 From Ras Jaba in a generally north-westerly direction to the junction of the Neki-Aqaba and Gaza-Aqaba Roads, thence to a point west-north-west of Ain Maghara and thence to a point on the Mediterranean coast north-west of Rafa.\r\n\r\nWest. \u2013 The Mediterranean Sea.\r\n\r\nArabs, the UN and its organs, and lately the International Court of Justice (ICJ) as well, have repeatedly claimed that the Palestinians are a native people \u2013 so much so that almost everyone takes it for granted. The problem is that a stateless Palestinian people is a fabrication. The word Palestine is not even Arabic.12\r\n\r\nIn a report by His Majesty\u2019s Government in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the Council of the League of Nations on the administration of Palestine and Trans-Jordan for the year 1938, the British made it clear: Palestine is not a State, it is the name of a geographical area.13\r\n\r\nPalestine is a name coined by the Romans around 135 CE from the name of a seagoing Aegean people who settled on the coast of Canaan in antiquity \u2013 the Philistines. The name was chosen to replace Judea, as a sign that Jewish sovereignty had been eradicated following the Jewish Revolts against Rome.\r\n\r\nIn the course of time, the Latin name Philistia was further bastardized into Palistina or Palestine.14 During the next 2,000 years Palestine was never an independent state belonging to any people, nor did a Palestinian people distinct from other Arabs appear during 1,300 years of Muslim hegemony in Palestine under Arab and Ottoman rule. During that rule, local Arabs were actually considered part of, and subject to, the authority of Greater Syria ( Suriyya al-Kubra).15\r\n\r\nHistorically, before the Arabs fabricated the concept of Palestinian peoplehood as an exclusively Arab phenomenon, no such group existed. This is substantiated in countless official British Mandate-vintage documents that speak of the Jews and the Arabs of Palestine \u2013 not Jews and Palestinians.16\r\n\r\nIn fact, before local Jews began calling themselves Israelis in 1948 (when the name \u201cIsrael\u201d was chosen for the newly-established Jewish State), the term \u201cPalestine\u201d applied almost exclusively to Jews and the institutions founded by new Jewish immigrants in the first half of the 20th century, before the state\u2019s independence.\r\n\r\nSome examples include:\r\n\r\nThe Jerusalem Post, founded in 1932, was called The Palestine Post until 1948.\r\n\r\nBank Leumi L\u2019Israel, incorporated in 1902, was called the \u201cAnglo-Palestine Company\u201d until 1948.\r\n\r\nThe Jewish Agency \u2013 an arm of the Zionist movement engaged in Jewish settlement since 1929 \u2013 was initially called the Jewish Agency for Palestine.\r\n\r\nToday\u2019s Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1936 by German Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany, was originally called the \u201cPalestine Symphony Orchestra,\u201d composed of some 70 Palestinian Jews.17\r\n\r\nThe United Jewish Appeal (UJA) was established in 1939 as a merger of the United Palestine Appeal and the fund-raising arm of the Joint Distribution Committee.\r\n\r\nEncouraged by their success at historical revisionism and brainwashing the world with the \u201cBig Lie\u201d of a Palestinian people, Palestinian Arabs have more recently begun to claim they are the descendants of the Philistines and even the Stone Age Canaanites.18 Based on that myth, they can claim to have been \u201cvictimized\u201d twice by the Jews: in the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites and again by the Israelis in modern times \u2013 a total fabrication.19 Archeologists explain that the Philistines were a Mediterranean people who settled along the coast of Canaan in 1100 BCE. They have no connection to the Arab nation, a desert people who emerged from the Arabian Peninsula.\r\n\r\nAs if that myth were not enough, former PLO Chairman Yasir Arafat also claimed, \u201cPalestinian Arabs are descendants of the Jebusites,\u201d who were displaced when King David conquered Jerusalem.\r\n\r\nArafat also argued that \u201cAbraham was an Iraqi.\u201d One Christmas Eve, Arafat declared that \u201cJesus was a Palestinian,\u201d a preposterous claim that echoes the words of Hanan Ashrawi, a Christian Arab who, in an interview during the 1991 Madrid Conference, said: \u201cJesus Christ was born in my country, in my land,\u201d and claimed that she was \u201cthe descendant of the first Christians,\u201d disciples who spread the gospel around Bethlehem some 600 years before the Arab conquest. If her claims were true, it would be tantamount to confessing that she is a Jew!\r\n\r\nContradictions abound; Palestinian leaders claim to be descended from the Canaanites, the Philistines, the Jebusites and the first Christians. They also \u201chijacked\u201d Jesus and ignored his Jewishness, at the same time claiming the Jews never were a people and never built the Holy Temples in Jerusalem.
