It’s a misspelling of ‘Bishara’ as in Azmi Bishara.

Early maps of the land of Palestine show the area supporting many Arab villages.

I’m so tired of that old saw, “there are no Palestinians and there was no Palestine.” It’s been disproved so many times that only the utter dunderheads of hasbaraland still parrot that rubbish.

My question, too – who is BAshara?

Ah, another disciple of the proven fraud Joan Peters, I see! Where IS Joan Peters, by the way? She seems to have disappeared some years ago, right about the time her “original research” was utterly discredited. Perhaps she crawled back under the slimy rock she had emerged from, and stayed there?

Perhaps I should mention that I have in my library books by European travelers to Palestine that date back as far as the 1400′s (most are from the mid-to-late 19th century), and none of them describes a barren land with a few indigenous arabs (sic). In fact, there are descriptions, among other interesting things, of markets filled with a plentiful variety of locally-grown fruits and vegetables, and of wheat, oranges, and other agricultural products being loaded onto ships at the Haifa port for export to other countries.

You guys really REALLY need new material.

By the way, who is BAshara?

Really, who sent you here lady, if that is what you are? You’re the 5 or 6th radical settler troll to make the same stupid comment that is beyond laughable. Would you tell yr friends that if they want to troll, they should at least come up w. more original arguments than this.

are you guys on drugs with all this colonial talk? Did you ever read a history book other than ones written by Arafats henchmen? There never was a palestinian state or people. Even read BAshara’s interviews.
There were a few indigenous arabs living in a barren land when the zioist push began. The british brought in many arab workers about the same time. There has been a continous Jewish presence here for 1000′s of years.

There is no evidnce that Radical settlers did this. In fact, there is so far no evidence that settlers or even israelis or even Jews did this. Yet look at all the hatred you spew against Jews for the lashon harah that the philistines spread when a fire happened in their mosque! How can you call Loshon harah Tikun Olam?

There were photos of burned carpeting, where gasoline was poured on the floor.
