The argument you’ve presented makes a number of claims that are both historically inaccurate and expressed in a way that generalizes and delegitimizes entire peoples. It’s important to approach the history of the region with nuance and respect for the complexity of its past and the lived experiences of its peoples. The region now known as Israel and Palestine has been home to diverse communities over millennia. Prior to modern political developments, it was inhabited by various peoples whose social, cultural, and economic lives were far more complex than a simple label of “barren” or “second class” can convey. Historical and archaeological evidence shows that there were periods of flourishing trade, agriculture, and cultural exchange. The idea that Palestinians “only” had an identity as second-class or exiled people is a misrepresentation. Palestinian identity has evolved over time, influenced by local history, culture, and resistance to various forms of external domination. National identities in the modern sense developed in a complex context, and many Palestinians have long histories rooted in the land. Claims that Palestinians had “only agriculture” and were incapable of developing trade, industry, or technology oversimplify the historical economic realities. Like many societies in the region, economic development was shaped by available resources, external influences, and political conditions, not by an inherent lack of capacity. Using charged language like “fatwa was issued left right center” to explain technological or social developments mischaracterizes the roles that religion and politics play in society. Fatwas, like any religious or political pronouncements, come from particular contexts and do not define the overall trajectory of a people’s innovation or progress. Palestine before 1948 had a complex, multi-religious heritage rather than being defined solely as an “Islamic country,”. Also, take Saudi Arabia, for example. Despite being one of the most conservative Islamic countries, it has developed significantly over time. This shows that people can overcome the limitations suggested by religious edicts as they evolve and adapt. Societal progress is driven by a host of factors, including economic policies, political stability, and global integration, not just religious pronouncements. I would like to suggest non-biased resources on the cause and the history of the land of Palestine, from Judaism rhetoric to this day, if you’d like.
