Jerusalem in 1896

This video is making the rounds of those looking to discredit Israel's claim to their ancient homeland.

I find it very fascinating on many levels.

On the current "political" level i would simply note that no where does the commentator say that any of the people are wearing Palestinian clothing or are from Palestine... he notes that there are Armenians, Turks, Arabs, etc,etc.

My point? Even the Arabs that lived in what is now called Palestine did not identify themselves as Palestinians until the 1960s... until then they were what they were... Turks, Saudis, Yemenis, Iraqis, Syrians, etc,etc living in the ancient land called Israel for commercial, familial or political reasons... but they were really from "somewhere" else.
