The context they are providing all that context is a bunch of lies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The four myths Shapiro dispels are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Myth 1:<\/strong> Israel is historically \u2062Muslim territory<\/li>\n<li><strong>Myth\u200c 2:<\/strong> Israel is\u200d the \u2062cause\u2064 of the failure of land partition in the Middle East<\/li>\n<li><strong>Myth\u200d 3:<\/strong> Israel\u2062 expelled all Palestinian Arabs from British mandate Palestine<\/li>\n<li><strong>Myth 4:<\/strong> Israel is an \u200capartheid state<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Debunking the Myths<\/h3>\n<p>Challenging the first myth, Shapiro said it\u2019s a \u201cpure and absolute lie\u201d\u200d to suggest Israel is\u200c Muslim territory. \u201cIsrael is\u200c historically Jewish territory, according to \u200cthe\u200c Bible and certain interpretations of contemporaneous archeology,\u201d he explained.\u200d \u201cJoshua entered the land of Israel in 1,400 \u200bB.C.,\u200b the Kingdom of David \u200bwas found around 1,000 B.C.,\u2063 the first Temple of Solomon was built in approximately 957 B.C., the second temple\u200d was built in\u2063 approximately 515 B.C.,\u200c the Hasmonean dynasty was founded in 166 B.C., Jerusalem was destroyed in\u200b 70 B.C., and the\u200d Jews exiled \u2064from Israel in 136 C.E.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the defeat of the Bar Kokhba Revolt, the\u2062 Romans, \u2062in an attempt to shame\u200c the\u200d Jews, renamed the\u2063 area\u200c Palestine \u2063as an insult after the Jews historic enemy, the\u200b Philistines,\u201d Shapiro continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven \u2062during \u2063the exile there was continuous Jewish \u2064presence in \u2064the land,\u201d he said. \u200b\u201cIslam, which is the \u200breligion of\u200c the Palestinian Arabs, was not\u200b even founded until the seventh \u2064century. C.E. or A.D. No independent\u200d Arab state has ever existed in the\u200c area known as Palestine.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Israel&#8217;s Role in Land Partition<\/h3>\n<p>Moving on to the second \u200cmyth, \u200cShapiro explained that it\u2019s a \u201cpure lie\u201d to blame \u200cIsrael for the\u2064 failure of land partition in the Middle East, going back to 1917, when the \u2062British promised the Jews the entire area of Palestine, all \u200bthe way \u200bto the present.<\/p>\n<p>In one\u200d example, Shapiro\u200c noted that the Arabs began pogroms,\u200c the mass murder of Jews in Jerusalem, by 1920, \u201cas a sign of anger at the British mandate in Palestine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The British government then repeatedly made concessions to the Arabs in Palestine. By 1937, the \u201cArabs would get \u200dthe entire\u2064 Negev and nearly the entirety of Judea and\u2064 Samaria, and the Jews would get \u2064a tiny swath of territory along\u200d the coast, including Tel Aviv and Haifa,\u201d and by 1939, \u201cthe British, in\u200b response again to Arab pressure, restricted Jewish \u200dimmigration,\u201d Shapiro explained.<\/p>\n<p>The Arab\u2063 League in 1967 then announced the \u201cthree no\u2019s: No \u200cpeace, no recognition, no negotiations with all of Israel\u2019s enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response, \u201cIsrael launched \u2062a preemptive strike on the Egyptian \u2063air force inaugurating the \u20641967 Six-Day War,\u201d the author explained. \u201cThis ended with Israel gaining miraculously the Sinai\u200d Desert, the Golan\u200b Heights, \u2063the Gaza Strip, Judea and Samaria \u2014\u200d now known as the West Bank, as\u200c well as the entirety of Jerusalem.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Concessions and Rejection<\/h3>\n<p>Israel then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/youre-being-lied-to-ben-shapiro-reveals-truth-about-israel-and-palestine-in-latest-facts-episode\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro exposes the truth about Israel and Palestine in his latest 'Facts' episode: \"You're being deceived.\"\">made \u200cnumerous concessions seeking\u200b peace<\/a>, Shapiro noted. By \u200b2000, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-nevada-a-corrupt-cash-for-votes-scheme-is-hiding-in-plain-sight\/\" title=\"In Nevada, A Corrupt Cash-For-Votes Scheme Is Hiding In Plain Sight\">offered<\/a> Yasser Arafat, the\u2063 terrorist leader of\u2063 the Palestinian Authority (AP), \u201c91% control over the West Bank in contiguous territory and an Israeli security presence along 15% of\u200b the border with Jordan,\u201d he said. \u201cArafat walked\u2062 away from the table and began the second intifada, a massive terror wave\u2064 that ended with the death of thousands of Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2005, Israeli unilaterally withdrew from\u200d the Gaza Strip,\u201d the conservative said. \u201cHamas immediately took it over and began \u2062using it as a base for \u200bterrorist activity. That continues until this day. In 2008, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert\u2063 offered even more than Barak in terms of territory with\u2063 some land swaps to\u200d maintain Jewish-populated\u2062 areas in exchange for\u200b some Israeli territory. Olmert even offered \u2062to relinquish Israeli sovereignty at the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, as well as the entire old city of Jerusalem, to a five-member \u200dnon-sovereign international\u200c trusteeship comprising Israel.\u200d The\u200c PA Jordan, the U.S., and Saudi Arabia. PA head Mahmoud Abbas walked away without a counteroffer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>The\u200d Truth About Palestinian Arabs<\/h3>\n<p>Tackling the third myth, Shapiro \u2063said it\u2019s false that Israel expelled all Palestinian Arabs from British-mandate Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsrael\u2019s founding documents asked Arabs to stay,\u201d he said. \u201cIsrael\u2019s Declaration of Independence, in the middle \u2063of an ongoing war with Arab nations reads, \u2018We appeal in the very midst \u2063of\u200b the onslaught launched\u200c against us now for months to the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to preserve peace and participate in the building\u2062 of the\u200d state on the basis\u2064 of full and \u200cequal\u2064 citizenship and due representation in all its provisional and permanent \u200cinstitutions.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDebate has \u2062raged for decades over how\u200c many Arabs left the\u2064 nascent state of Israel thanks to\u200d expulsion and how many left because they were told to leave \u2063by their own\u200b leaders,\u201d \u200dhe explained. \u201cAn estimated 250,000 to 300,000 refugees left before their homes were\u2063 even in a war zone. We didn\u2019t compel them to leave. They left \u2063on their own\u200b view \u2014 or rather on that of the Arab leaders who advised them even before trouble started \u200dthe collapse\u2062 of \u2063Arab society during the 1947-48 war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shapiro noted that \u2064\u201cIsrael will do everything in its \u2063power to help the resettlement \u2062of these refugees,\u201d adding, \u201cArab nations refused\u200b to take \u200bin hundreds of thousands of \u200bArabs turning their coreligionists into refugees who have maintained that status for literally decades, a situation unparalleled in\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/whats-next-great-awakening-or-great-reset\/\" title=\"What\u2019s Next?
