The Palestinian Authority attempts to erase Jewish history, but it presents the Hebrew names. How do they explain it? By calling the Hebrew names "Canaanite." According to the Palestinian Authority: "Shechem (Nablus)" is a Canaanite city, and the Zionist occupation "named its settlements with these Canaanite names, and stole Palestinian national heritage." In reality: Shechem is in Egyptian texts from around 1850 BC, and it never stopped being the city's Hebrew name. "Nablus" is the new name: Roman Flavia Neapolis, founded in 72 AD. Israel didn't steal the ancient name. It kept it. Source: Grade 6, p.52

What came after the Canaanites? According to the Palestinian Authority: The land "fell under the rule of the Pharaohs, the Assyrians, the Chaldeans and the Persians." In reality: Between the Pharaohs and the Assyrians, for roughly 400 years, the land was ruled by the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Then the Assyrians destroyed Israel (722 BC) and the Chaldeans destroyed Judah (586 BC). The book names the conquerors and deletes who they conquered. Israel is on an Egyptian stele from 1208 BC, "the House of David" on a 9th-century stele, and Israelite kings by name in Assyrian records. All of it is gone. In an attempt to deny the connection between the Jews and the Land of Israel, the Palestinian Authority's textbooks erase centuries of well-documented history. Source: Grade 6, p.54

The Palestinian Authority's historical errors extend far beyond the Levant. Let's see what they say about Mesopotamia. According to the Palestinian Authority: Hammurabi's laws are "the first law in Mesopotamia, and the oldest written laws in human history." In reality: Hammurabi wrote his code around 1754 BC. Mesopotamia already had the Code of Ur-Nammu (c. 2100 BC), the Laws of Lipit-Ishtar (c. 1930 BC) and the Laws of Eshnunna. It isn't the first in the world, and it isn't even the first in Mesopotamia.

According to the Palestinian Authority: "The Canaanites: they are of the Arab tribes that migrated from the Arabian Peninsula." In reality: The Canaanites were absolutely NOT tribes from Arabia. Canaan is in the records by the 1700s BC, a thousand years before anyone is called an Arab. The Canaanites spoke Canaanite languages, and Hebrew is one of them; Arabic isn't. Ancient DNA from Canaanite burials shows local Levantine ancestry and no migration from Arabia. In an attempt to fabricate a 4,000-year Arab claim to the land, the Palestinian Authority pretends that the Canaanites were Arabs. Source: Grade 6, p.44

It starts in the Bronze Age. According to the Palestinian Authority: The Arameans, Canaanites, Akkadians, Assyrians and Amorites were all "Arab tribes" who migrated out of Arabia. In reality: None of these groups were Arabs. The Akkadians and Assyrians were native to Iraq and wrote in Akkadian. The Amorites came from Syria. Sargon of Akkad ruled around 2300 BC, and the first person in history ever called an "Arab" turns up on an Assyrian monument in 853 BC. Referring to all of these people as "Arabs" is like referring to Celts as "English." Source: Grade 6, p.34

According to the Palestinian Authority's official school textbooks for grades 6 through 9: • The Canaanites were Arabs • Palestine grew tomatoes and potatoes in the 600s • Muslims invented zero and reached America in the 800s • The Third Crusade was in 1291, sent by "Britain" • George Washington declared independence at the "Third Philadelphia Congress" • World War I was fought by the Axis • Israel burned al-Aqsa • A terrorist who killed 13 children on a bus killed "soldiers" • Ancient Israel did not exist This is what UNRWA and PA schools are teaching to children. Let's take a journey through the Palestinian Authority's fantasy world. 🧵
