Arab & Islamic colonialism in Palestine from the early 1800s onwards - short🧵 1. Egyptians fleeing from and imported by Muhammad Ali, Governor of Egypt, occupied Palestine in 1831 and remained in control of the region for the next decade. <a target="_blank" href="https://besacenter.org/palestinians-settlers-colonialism/" color="blue">besacenter.org/palestinians-s…</a>
2. Chechens, Circassians, and Turkmen were relocated by the Ottoman Empire in the 1860s after its wars with Russia. <a target="_blank" href="https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/visiting-israels-circassian-community/" color="blue">blogs.timesofisrael.com/visiting-israe…</a>
3. Tribes of Bedouins also migrated into Palestine during the 1800s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327027783_Bedouin_Settlement_in_Late_Ottoman_and_British_Mandatory_Palestine_Influence_on_the_Cultural_and_Environmental_Landscape_1870-1948" color="blue">researchgate.net/publication/32…</a>
4. The permanent Arab population in Mandate Palestine increased by approx 120% from 1922 - 1947 as Jews brought new technology, infrastructure & jobs.
5. Many Palestinian fellahin (peasants) had worked under an oppressive Arab feudal system. Jews legally purchased land (much of it swamp and desert) and provided new work opportunities. <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/EinatWilf/status/1729708295911362915" color="blue">x.com/EinatWilf/stat…</a>
6. The influx of Arab workers into Palestine is well documented. <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/baytifirasik/status/1658570015657046016" color="blue">x.com/baytifirasik/s…</a>
7. Bosnian Muslims have also colonised parts of Palestine. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/195938" color="blue">palestine-studies.org/en/node/195938</a>
8. Summary - a detailed analysis of colonialism in Palestine from the 7th Century onwards demonstrates that many waves of settlers have mixed with the indigenous population. <a target="_blank" href="https://adin1664.medium.com/palestinians-how-invaders-became-indigenous-3c0bc73bb2dc" color="blue">adin1664.medium.com/palestinians-h…</a>
9. Footnote - In 1834, Egypt deported 20% of the Arab peasant population (out of approx 160k total). As of 1920, more than half of Arabs living in what became Mandatory Palestine had migrated within the past 3 generations. By 1940 it was more than 2/3. <a target="_blank" href="https://books.openedition.org/ifpo/483" color="blue">books.openedition.org/ifpo/483</a>
10. Further note - from the 7th Century onwards, all non-Muslims in the Islamic Empire were forced to pay the 'jizyah', a tax on 'dhimmi' or '2nd class' citizens. This discriminatory measure pushed some Native people to leave Palestine. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-treatment-of-jews-in-arab-islamic-countries" color="blue">jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-treatment-…</a>
And the majority of Israeli Jews are, of course, from the Middle East and North Africa following the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the entire region. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thetower.org/article/there-was-a-jewish-nakba-and-it-was-even-bigger-than-the-palestinian-one/" color="blue">thetower.org/article/there-…</a>
