This is where my mom was born. It’s not called Tel Aviv. It’s called yaffa. My grandfather had a coffee shop, a home, land and a bakery. All taken by settlers.
Tel Aviv in fall. For some reason, clips of Jews existing work as rage bait. Why?

Before the Nakba, Jaffa was the largest city in Palestine and was the centre of Palestinian culture and commercial activity. This picture is from the early 1900s.

@wallahibro Jaffa has more people now than it did in the 1940s, as it's part of a combined city with Tel Aviv. Your complaint is just that most of the inhabitants are Jews. Tel-Aviv-Yafo has about 55,000 Arab Muslims now. In 1947 it had 53,000 Muslim Arabs. Glad to help.

@wallahibro Learn.
Largest for Palestinians, yes, but small in comparison to cities that served as capitals of Ottoman vilayets. Without the surge in Jewish population and the rise of Israel, Jaffa would have been as marginal as dozens of coastal towns on the eastern Mediterranean, say Lebanon’s

@wallahibro Yafo is mentioned several times in the Jewish bible as a port city. That means it was Jewish long before your prophet was born and long before you invaded our lands. Now it's back in our hands where ut shall remain.

@wallahibro I find it interesting that y’all waited until Jews improved the land and built beautiful cities to claim the land had been yours for 3 million years and everything they built belonged to you. Very interesting indeed.

@wallahibro Arab residents began abandoning Jaffa in December 1947 after hundreds of Arabs attacked Tel Aviv & were repelled. The attack was a disaster, with 60 Arabs dead and only 2 Jews. The residents saw their army was incompetent & began to flee. This is well documented.

@wallahibro There’s no such thing as Palestinian culture, there was only Arab colonial culture of the invading Arabs from the 7th century onwards. Jaffa was a Jewish city until taken over by Arab imperialists. Here’s a map of the land of Israel from 1819 with Jaffa clearly marked.

@wallahibro Before Muslims came with their armies to kill and rape the middle east was Christian and Jewish. https://t.co/SNyvNHJA8O
How can any Muslim call the Jews "colonizers", when the map of the Middle East shows that the only colonizers were the Muslims. Any Muslim country outside Arabia(Saudia) is an occupied territory, a colonized land. The Jews didn't colonize anything. They returned to their

@wallahibro Nakba is when your Arab pals started a war and failed to ethnically cleanse Jews from the land of Israel.

@wallahibro 100%. And I don’t take anything away from you’ve said. But Jews were much a part of that culture. The Jew’s Courtyard in old Jaffa. Right next to a mosque that has sat there for 350 years and is still in use today.

@wallahibro Palestinians are all about hyperbole presenting little life of provincial squatting tribes as a center of civilization.

@wallahibro There was no “Palestinian culture” in early 1900s. It was Levantine Arab culture. The idea of “Palestine” was created by British (and during British Mandate “Palestinian” did not mean what it means today).

@wallahibro Not true, Jerusalem was the largest city and Jews were the largest ethnicity in Jerusalem.

@wallahibro Jaffa still exists, very much looking the same. Arabs still live there. Tel Aviv is right next to it? also home to jews and arabs alike. Jews do not take over, they just thrive on what used to be dunes north of Yaffa.

@wallahibro I thought Jerusalem and Jericho were centers of “Palestinian culture”. Israel never took away Jaffa from the Arabs, as it is a very Arab city

@wallahibro You mean the Nakba where Palestinians ran away cause their leaders told them the big bad Jews are coming to kill them? And their leaders said to run to Jordan so when 6 nation's invade they can come back and take all the Jews lands ? That Nakba?

@wallahibro Before Zionism, the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem hosted the largest Jewish community in Holy Land. All blown up and bulldozed by Palestinians. This picture is from 1948.
