CLAIM: Before Israel’s foundation in 1948, Palestine was dirty, impoverished, and corrupt.
RATING:
Mostly false
According to historian Ilan Pappe, Gaza City was a thriving cosmopolitan town in the early 1900s.
Similarly, elderly residents and soldiers interviewed for the 2022 documentary Tantura have described the Palestinian port village of al-Tantura (pre-1948) as wealthy, beautiful, and quite similar to European towns.
Although there were certainly poor villages in Palestine, it would be unfair to portray pre-Israel Palestine as merely dirty, impoverished, and corrupt.
One reply on “Israel-Palestine Mega Fact Check!”
Keep trying to invent history. The palis didn’t exist until the mid 1960s.
One other fun fact – every group, every political organization, and every government that has ever tried to destroy the Jews has been destroyed. Fun fact #2 Israel has never been stronger.
