Arab propagandists, journalists, academicians, religious and political leaders have engaged in the most phantasmagorical and audacious deception in history. They have stolen Jewish history and claimed it as their own, erasing or denying all evidence of things Jewish in the Land of Israel and filling the lacunae with the fictitious narrative of an ancient "Palestinian people" living since high antiquity in the land of Canaan. The lies are transparent, the fiction palpable; yet much of the world accommodates the deception.
