In a remarkable appearance on a Lebanese television channel, Professor Imad Chamoun, a Christian, denies that the “Palestinians” have any rights to the Holy Land, which belongs, he says, to the Jews alone. Israel, he notes, is mentioned 43 times in the Qur’an, and so are the Israelites, but there is not a single mention of either “Palestine” or “Palestinians” in the Qur’an. His amazing public statement can be found here: “Lebanese Academic Imad Chamoun: Palestinians Have No Right To The Holy Land, ‘Palestine’ Was Not Even Mentioned In The Quran; It Belongs To The Jews; Hizbullah Threatens To Cut Off The Heads Of Lebanese Christians When They Are Done With Israel,” MEMRI, October 23, 2024:
…Imad Chamoun: “I want the Lebanese state, or the consecutive governments, to be held accountable for legalizing Hizbullah’s illegal weapons. Hizbullah is accused worldwide of being a terror [organization]. Are we supposed to absolve these terrorists, and let bygones be bygones? How can we? We have martyrs.”
Interviewer: “Are you calling them ‘terrorists?'”
Chamoun: “What else are all the countries calling them? How do they designate Hizbullah?”
Interviewer: “But they are your compatriots…”
Chamoun: “Who is?”
Interviewer: “Hizbullah.”
Chamoun: “Well, if my compatriot is a collaborator, does being my compatriot nullify his collaboration? They are my compatriots, with Lebanese citizenship, who are collaborators with Iran….
Interviewer: “Go ahead, but what are you even saying? The Palestinians have no right to Palestine?”
Chamoun: “They do not. This is not a political analysis. I will answer you with quotes from the sacred sources.
[…]
“The Noble Quran does not mention ‘Palestine’ or the ‘Palestinians.’ However, the same book mentions the Israelites 43 times, and it mentions the Jews nine times. The word ‘Israel’ is mentioned 43 times, and the word ‘Palestine’ zero. That’s for starters. If Palestine existed, the Noble Quran would have mentioned it.
[…]
“Allah, in the Quran gave this land to the Jews. ‘Oh my people! Enter the Holy Land which Allah has decreed for you.’ Allah decreed this holy land for them. It is in the Quran, Al-Maidah Chapter, verse 20 [sic].
[…]
“The Jews were in Israel 2,000 years before the presence of the Christians, and 2,600 years prior to the Islamic conquests. So how can this land be anything but Jewish?”…
“How come you reinvent the myth about throwing Israel into the sea? And that Israel is an occupier and this is not their land… Do you want to build the new future of your children and mine on war and hatred? Or do you want to build it on the acceptance of the other? I would like to salute the Sunnis in the world. After their reckless attempt to throw Israel into the sea, which failed even though all the Arab countries were together in this – which failed even though all the Arab countries were together in this – what did they do then? Egypt – that numbers 100 million Arab Muslims – recognized Israel and made peace with it. The Hashemites in Jordan recognized Israel and made peace with it. This Sunni Islamic maturity led to the point where the UAE, the most civilized country in the world today…”
Interviewer: “They all recognized Israel. We have to move on…”
Chamoun: “So to conclude, I’d say that the Shiite immaturity has destroyed us. Let’s see tomorrow, if they learned their lesson like the Sunnis have.”
An amazing truth-teller, this Lebanese Christian. His rage against the Palestinians, who along with Hezbollah’s Shi’ite Muslims, have helped to push Lebanon into a political and economic morass, no doubt helped him decide to tell the truth — with the Qur’an as his authority — about the “Palestinians” and their nonexistent “Palestine,” and about the Jews whose ancient claim to “Israel” is upheld in the Qur’an. Chamoun’s hatred of Hezbollah for the destruction it has called down on Lebanon is palpable. And with the weakening of the terror group by the IDF, perhaps Chamoun felt emboldened to speak out against Hezbollah. But it still took great courage to do so in Lebanon itself. Let’s hope this man stays alive.

I’m not sure that sunnis have in general accepted the reality of Israel. Some may have, like Emirates, Bahrein… but most sunni countries, particularly ones like Turkey, Pakistan, Algeria, Qatar are as virulently anti-Israel as is Iran. I also don’t think that Lebanese sunnis are much different from their comrades in Syria: if they were in fighting form, they too would have an HTS like group fighting both the Christians as well as the Israelis
somehistory says
the Bible predates the book of demon filth. The Bible says God gave the Land to the offspring of Abraham through Isaac, Jacob (Israel) and his twelve sons and their offspring.
and if that is not accepted, how about looking at secular history….the wars fought between the Canaanites, and the Jews…the Phillistine’s and the Jews, the Assyrians and the Jews, the Babylonians and the Jews.,
the Moabites, Hivites, Hittites, etc. all fighting the sons of Israel.
none of those nations or people were said to be fighting a group or nation called “palestinians.”
And when Rome sent its army to Jerusalem….it was to put down the Jews.
Gaius, then Titus…fought the Jews.
This is all a matter of history, much of it recorded by the nations which fought against the sons of Israel, the Hebrews, the Jews.
Anyone calling himself a palestinian, is an invader in the Land of Israel…the home of the Jews.

somehistory says,
“…the book of demon filth.”
Yes, a very accurate description of the koran.
Larry Alvarado says
Hey Somehistory, again.
Amen to that my friend.
All of what is happening has to be, pieces of the puzzle going onto place.
