A journalist named Sulaiman Ahmed - 600,000 followers - ran with it:
Yet the original image was Photoshopped to remove the two Hebrew letters that indicated that the Hebrew name for "Palestine" was "Eretz Yisrael," something that no Arab would ever put on their coins.
If the truth was on their side, why do they have to go to such extremes to lie?
It remands me of a similar story I had in 2011. An official Palestinian textbook had, on its cover, a photo of a stamp of "Palestine."
But they had Photoshopped the Hebrew out of the stamp:
The myth of a Palestinian state before 1948 is essential to the Palestinian narrative. The fact that it is a lie is simply something they think can be airbrushed from history.
And the funniest part is that when Great Britain put those two letters on the stamp, Palestinian Arabs were upset and wanted to either remove the "EY" initials or to put their own real name after the Arabic "Felesteen" on the stamp.: "Suria El Jenobia," or Southern Syria.
Because in 1925, plenty of Palestinian Arabs still considered - and desired - "Palestine" to be part of Syria.
So, ironically, the real history of British Mandate stamps and coins proves that even Palestinians never considered Palestine to be a separate political entity - the exact opposite of what the historical revisionists are claiming today.
