PALESTINE WAS NEVER A COUNTRY!

Did ancient Palestinians (who were European Aegeans/Greeks) speak English and Hebrew? These manhole covers are not only English, and not only have Hebrew writing (no Arabic), but they also have the sign of the Volkan Company, which was a metal factory established by Judeans.

The cover also has the sign of the Volkan company, a metal factory established by Judeans in the 1930s.

Reminder that the "Palestinians" are Jordanians. Who neither Jordan nor Egypt want.

Soldados británicos evacuando judíos del barco Éxodo en el puerto de Haifa, 18 de julio de 1947

El 11 de julio de 1947, el barco Presidente Warfield partió de Francia hacia la Tierra de Israel con 4.500 pasajeros, en su mayoría sobrevivientes del Holocausto. Rebautizado como Éxodo 1947, fue atacado el 17 de julio por destructores británicos en aguas internacionales y remolcado a Haifa el 18 de julio. Debido a esto, el gobierno británico ordenó deportar a los pasajeros. Se embarcaron en tres barcos británicos: Empire Rival, Runnymede Park, y Ocean Vigour. Francia no permitió el desembarco, y los pasajeros fueron mantenidos a bordo durante más de tres semanas antes de ser enviados a Alemania. Allí, fueron desembarcados por la fuerza en Hamburgo y llevados a campos de personas desplazadas. El trato inhumano hacia los pasajeros del Éxodo 1947 causó indignación a nivel internacional.

On July 11, 1947, the ship President Warfield set sail from France to the Land of Israel with 4,500 passengers, most of them Holocaust survivors. Renamed as Exodus 1947, it was attacked on July 17 by British destroyers in international waters and towed to Haifa on July 18. As a result, the British government ordered the deportation of the passengers. They were transferred to three British ships: Empire Rival, Runnymede Park, and Ocean Vigour. France did not allow disembarkation, and the passengers were kept aboard for over three weeks before being sent to Germany. There, they were forcibly disembarked in Hamburg and taken to displaced persons camps. The inhumane treatment of the passengers of Exodus 1947 caused international outrage.
