in 1799 the Land was under Turkish (Ottoman) control.

Gaza was there and they kicked his ****************** like they did to the Jews in the Past and now.

yes Napoleon tried to occupy Gaza but he could not and was defeated by Gazan like most invaders. so he went back to Egypt and Went to Aqa by sea and he got his *** kicked by Hamad Pasha Al Jazzar. He was a Palestinian leader.
Jews did not exist on the land back then.

I guess copying and pasting a link correctly is too "simple" for you. But it sounds interesting.

The Palestinians were Arabs. Jews at that time, made up less than 5% of the population. Jews claimed Palestinian nationality, NOT Arab ethnicity as were the Palestinians. The Ottoman Empire was occupying Arab Palestine back then.

Napoleon made the proclamation soley to appease an use the Jews to his advantage, not necessarily to get them a homeland.Indeed, many consider the so called "proclamation" a forgery.His goals were to assimilate the Jewish entity.

"During the siege of Acre in 1799, Bonaparte prepared a proclamation declaring a Jewish state in Palestine, though he did not issue it. The siege was lost to the Ottoman Empire and the plan was never carried out. Some historians, including Nathan Schur in Napoleon and the Holy Land, believe that the proclamation was intended purely for propaganda purposes, and that Napoleon was not serious about the creation of a Jewish state. Some believe that the proclamation was made in order to win the heart of Haim Farhi, the Jewish advisor to the ruler of Acre, Ahmed al Jazzar, and to bring him over to Napoleon's side, as Farhi was the actual commander of the defence of Acre on the field. Henry Laurens holds that the proclamation never took place and that the document which supposedly proves its existence is a forgery.

This attitude can be seen from the letter he wrote on the 29th of November 1806, to Champagny, Minister of the Interior: "It is necessary to reduce, if not destroy, the tendency of Jewish people to practice a very great number of activities that are harmful to civilisation and to public order in society in all the countries of the world. It is necessary to stop the harm by preventing it; to prevent it it is necessary to change the Jews. Once part of their youth will take its place in our armies, they will cease to have Jewish interests and sentiments; their interests and sentiments will be French."-Wikipedia.

The Black Holocaust was 100x worst than the Jewish holocaust and it never was taught.

"Tell us jews say they lost 6 million. Historians, scholars, scientists, they went to some of the death camps. . . . It wasn't 6 million, it wasn't 5 million, it wasn't 4 million, it wasn't even 3 million. . . . Some of them say we'd be hard-pressed to get 1 1/2 million. Reports on the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis were bloated, exaggerated, probably fabricated."

To those who want to call me anti Semite the real anti Semite are those who came out of Russia and converted to Judaism claimed Israel as their own and are now killing of the real Jews.

Well, I can't be an anti-Semite, in the sense that they say, because
they're not the Semites.

There's a ton of correspondence of Napoleon to Asia Minor that bears the name "Palestine".
Now if you want to distort the facts, go right ahead, I am not going to follow you.

It's a very large area for a population of 350,000-400,000...........it's not like he is going to notice that many people at all.............

Maybe they were in Jordan?

mess with Israel=u mess with me

its obvious... they wasn't living there.... they were living in TURKEY at that time.. because they have TURK blood and they belong there... and Israel is not land of palestinians...
So that why he did not see the Palestinians.

ItÂ´s very simple,Simon.Those arab muslims who call themselves "palestinians" lived in this land since the times of Australopiteks.As a matter of fact,the Australopiteks were the direct descendants of arab muslims.Then they ran from Napoleon to Atlantis-and were drawn together with it.
This is why Napoleon could never find them.
