If Palestine was empty how come David Ben Gurion the founding father of the Jewish state wrote the exact opposite in January 1966 ?

As you contemplate what David Ben-Gurion (born David Grün) had written in his book Jews in their lands, please keep in mind that:
  • David Ben-Gurion released his book almost two decades after the Nakba in January 1966. This implies that the current Zionist narrative (that Palestine was ‘’empty’’) only evolved and nurtured after Ben-Gurion wrote his book.
  • Pay attention to how David Ben-Gurion admitted that Jews made up 12% of the population as of 1914, and he inflated the Jewish population to 85,000! To prove the Palestinian point of view, here is the World Zionist Organization's submission to the League of Nations (p. 11) in 1924, clearly saying that Jews were 55,000 (under 8%, not 12%, as of 1918) when WWI ended (here is also the Jewish Agency confirming such a fact in its 1946 Memorandum). On top of that, Zionists among Palestine's Jews at the time were considered an extreme fringe in Jewish politics, which was dominated by BUND, who were assimilationist Jews, socialists, liberals, and against the nation-state concept (Albert Einstein was a great example). After WWII, Zionists dominated Jewish politics after the destruction of BUND (Abraham Burg, p. 37). It should be emphasized that the Palestinian population was consistently under-counted for many reasons, mainly because that is i) how many avoid compulsory military service and ii) the Bedouins rarely cooperated with any type of census.
  • Pay attention to how Ben-Gurion admitted that most Jews at the time were not a self-sufficient community (mainly, they were settled in and around the major cities) and who lived off of charitable aid (from the diaspora Jewry). Is it possible that Palestinians lived in the countryside living off the land they owned? For how long will the "Jewish state" last without charitable contributions from the West and world Jewry? It should be noted that to this date, Palestinians still prefer to live in the countryside, and Israelis have done the exact opposite since the inception of Zionism.
  • As of 1947, Jews were under a 1/3 of the total population, and only 1/4th of those gained Palestinian Citizenship (meaning 10% of the total) who owned under 6% of the lands (much of it owned by corporations ---i.e., JNF-- and not Zionist citizens of Palestine).
  • On top of that, Ben-Gurion, in 1947, destroyed another common Zionist myth that it was Arab immigration from neighboring countries that flooded Palestine and increased the Palestinian population. Not only that, he proved that some Palestinians did emigrate to South and Latin America as well. (see The Jewish Plan For Palestine by the Jewish Agency, p. 53)
  • This implies that the current Zionists' narrative (Palestine being ‘’empty’’ for two thousand years until Zionist Jews bloomed its Negev desert) was concocted out of thin air after the 6-Day War. It seems that the 6-Day War must have been a turning point when most American Jews (but not all) became hardcore Zionists, but why after the 6-Day War and not before? Why not after the Nakba, when Palestine was emptied and Palestinians were replaced and dispossessed?
  1. That being said, this conclusion implies that American Jews (who are mostly Zionists nowadays) are complicit in propagating the big lies about Palestine and its people.
  2. It seems as if American Jews got themselves stuck in a self-defeating feedback loop to help Israel, they've promoted big lies about Palestine and its people, which results in fomenting antisemitism, and that has ended up working against them. It is worth noting that before WWII, it is well documented how Zionists fomented antisemitism for political gains; that is why Europe's Jews were mostly antizionists and considered Zionists as the enemy from within.
  3. Does that explain why the mass majority of Europe's Jews voted with their feet and immigrated to the Americas to live with the Gentiles and not to the ‘’barren’’ country of Palestine?
  • Since the current Zionist narrative became dominant only after the 6-Day War, I suspect that this was done when American Jews at large (but not all; there is still a vocal anti-Zionst Jews in the US, but they are a minority) adopted the farce of a book From Time Immemorial, which the NYTimes published a rebuttal to from Zionist historians in late 1985. This book fomented a large number of unfounded conspiracy theories about Palestinians, and to this date, so many American Jewish Zionists still use it as the source concerning the Palestinian-Israeli ‘’conflict’’. This work of plagiarized fiction that I would rather call A Hoax Memorial has been shredded to pieces and debunked by many historians, including Jewish scholars.
  1. Just to emphasize this point, see for yourself how American Jewish Zionists flocked to the lying news network (Fox News) after Hamas’s retaliatory attack on Oct. 7th, 2023 to decades of Jewish colonization, siege and occupation. Some people are willing to go out of their way to swallow lies that could be remotely believable. As if seeking the truth has become antisemitic.
  2. I ask this question again: how does promoting blatant big lies in defense of Israel doesn't foment antisemitism?
  3. In a nutshell, American Jewish Zionists have been engaged in spreading lies and misinformation debunked several decades ago. I have found their fingerprints also in promoting the Hebron ‘’Massacre’’ of 1929 as a big source of disinformation.
  • From a different angle, I have investigated how the ‘’Jews bloomed the Negev desert’’ myth evolved. Not to my surprise, I have discovered that as late as 1938, David-Ben-Gurion wrote to his son Amos about his plans (more like a dream) of blooming the Negev desert (meaning it wasn't blooming at the time), and most importantly, David admitted it was barren and Jews thinly populated it. As known, nothing happened during WWII in the next decade. Therefore, I’m forced to conclude that this lie must have evolved and nurtured after the Nakba was concluded, and I suspect it was kept alive because of the American Jewish community who adopted Zionism after the 6-Day War (but not before).
  • Just in case the prior arguments and facts are unconvincing and you are still high on Zionists' gaslight, let me drive another nail in this myth's coffin once and for all. In 1918, David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister, investigated the question of Jewish identity in a richly documented book, Eretz Israel Past and Present, published by Poale Zion Palestine Committee. He concluded that:

“The Arabs of Palestine are none but those ancient Jews who were forced to convert to the religion of Arab Bedouin, who had conquered the land in the seventh century. The Arabs of Palestine, were hidden converts in whose veins ran Jewish blood.”

(Times of Israel in Aug 21, 2016, Ha’aretz June 10th, 2018, and at APNews Sept. 25th, 2018 --- recently deleted; censorship is alive and well).

[This is a solid proof that Zionism to its founding fathers wasn't about "race per se" and it was all about power and ideology.]

This is more proof that the current Zionist narrative has evolved after the 6-Day War, which Israel's founding fathers never believed from the get-go, and mainly, it has been propagated in the past few decades by American Jewish Zionists. Eventually, the chickens will come home to roost. Anyhow, if you have the time, I urge you to read what the Israeli historian Shlomo Sand wrote in "The Invention of the Jewish People,’’starting from page 184. Mr. Sand went back to many primary sources, proving that what Ben-Gurion wrote earlier was widespread among the early Zionists until the end of the 1920s, and all came to a complete halt when Palestinian nationalism was in full swing after the Palestinian Arab revolt in the 1930s. It is amazing how the indigenous Palestinian people hung with their teeth to land, and in mass, they refused to leave to this very day.
