1 | ‘There Was No Palestine'? | Tsy Nisy Hoe Palestina a? |
2 | A number of Twitter users from Palestine and the Arab region are taking to the microblogging site to refute a common Israeli discourse that Palestine never existed. | Maromaro ireo mpampiasa Twitter avy ao Palestina sy ny faritra Arabo no naka ireo sehatra fitorahana bilaogy bitika mba handàvana ilay kabary iraisan-dry zareo Israeliana ilazàny fa tsy nisy velively izany Palestina izany. |
3 | “There is no such thing as a Palestinian people”, former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir once said. | “Tsy misy zavatra tahaka izany mihitsy, toy ny vahoaka Palestiniana”, hoy indray i Golda Meir, Praiminisitra fahiny tao Israely. |
4 | While in 2011, in a YouTube video, former Israeli Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Danny Ayalon said that “in 1967 there was no Arab nation or State by the name of Palestine”. | Fony tany amin'ny 2011, tao anaty lahatsary YouTube iray, ny Minisitra Lefitra Israeliana misahana ny Raharaham-Bahiny, Danny Ayalon, nilaza fa “tamin'ny 1967, tsy nisy firenena na fanjakana Arabo nitondra izany anarana Palestina izany”. |
5 | “Actually, was there ever?” he added. | “Raha ny marina, tena nisy tokoa va re izany?” hoy izy nanampy. |
6 | Blogger and essayist Juan Cole wrote about this discourse: | Juan Cole, bilaogera sady mpanoratra savaravina, dia nanoratra mikasika io kabary io : |
7 | One of the common assertions one finds in Zionist propaganda is that there “was never any Palestine.” | Iray amin'ireo fanamafisana tsy misy porofo hitan'ny olona ao amin'ny fampielezan-kevitra Sionista ny hoe “tsy nisy velively i Palestina.” |
8 | This odd allegation is simply not true. | Tsy marina tsotra izao fotsiny io filazana sadasada io. |
9 | Palestine has been used for a very long time to refer to the geographical area south of Sidon and north of the Sinai. | Nentina nanondro nandritry ny fotoana maharitra ny faritra atsimon”i Sidona sy ny avaratr'i Sinay ny hoe Palestina. |
10 | There are medieval Muslim coins from a mint in that area with “Filastin” (Palestine) written on them. | Misy ny vola vy fampiasan'ny Silamo fahagola avy amin'izany faritra izany miaraka amin'ny soratra hoe “Filistina” (Palestina) misoratra eo ambonin'izy ireny. |
11 | In the nineteenth century, diaries survive of locals who visited Damascus e.g. and wrote about how they missed “Filastin”, i.e. Palestine. | Tamin'ny taonjato fahasivy ambin'ny folo, voatahirin'ireo mponina any an-toerana izay nivahiny tany Damaskaosy ohatra ireo diary, ary nosoratan-dry zareo ny momba izay fahatsiarovany an'i “Filistina”, izany hoe i Palestina. |
12 | He adds: | Ampiany: |
13 | If what is being alleged is that there was no nation-state called Palestine, at least before the League of Nations created one, that is banal. | Raha toa ny tsahotsaho lazaina manao hoe tsy nisy firenena-fanjakana antsoina hoe Palestina izany, farafaharatsiny talohan'ny nanangan'ny Leage des Nations iray, tsy misy fotony. |
14 | There were no nation-states until the 19th century. | Tsy nisy firenena-fanjakàna izany hatramin'ny taonjato faha-19. |
15 | There was no “Italy” before 1860. | Tsy nisy ‘Italia' izany talohan'ny 1870. |
16 | Venice was Austrian, Genoa French. There was no “Germany” before 1870. | Marobe ireo fari-piadidiana madinidinika, ny sasany amin'ireny no eo ambany fifehezana sy fiahian'ny hafa. |
17 | Lots of small principalities, some of them under other rule or influence. Egyptian novelist Ahdaf Soueif started the hashtag there_was_no_Palestine on April 15 and asked users to contribute pictures of life in Palestine before the 1948 forced eviction of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their lands and villages: | Nanomboka nandefa ny tenifototra there_was_no_Palestine ilay Ejiptiana mpanoratra tantara, Ahdaf Soueif, tamin'ny 15 Aprily ary nangataka ireo mpampiasa twitter handray anjara handefa sary momba ny fiainana tao Palestina talohan'ny 1948 nisian'ny fandroahana an-keriny ireo Palestiniana an'alinaliny hiala tamin'ny taniny sy ny tanànan'izy ireo : |
