The article below was originally published by Washington's Blog and reposted at Global Research. It's been reposted to be shared here debunking the Zionists' biggest myth and lie that Palestine as a country did not exist prior 1948. If the case was so than someone should tell the Egyptians, Roman Empire, Umayads and Islamic caliphates,  Crusaders, Ottoman, Napoleon and the European colonialists that their geographers, historians, economists and authors among them Mark Twain had the wrong name or that the history books and even the bible should've called Palestine something else. The other name used for Palestine was the Holy Land.

“A land without a people for a people without a land” ….

But the history of Palestine is much more complicated:

The claim that no one lived in Palestine is undercut by this video footage shot in 1896

And any implication that there was no place called Palestine is undercut by this travel advertisement from the 1940s
