Do the Arabs have any history in Palestine?

Question

Arabs are not a singular people. Origins are complex and intermingled with many peoples and lines.

In approx. 1200 BC, the Petra area (in modern Jordan, about 80 kilometers south of the Dead Sea) was populated by Edomites, descended from Esau according to the Bible, and was known as Edom ("red"). Before the Israelites arrived in Canaan and repeatedly battled with them, the Edomites controlled the fertile valleys from the Red Sea at Elath to the Dead Sea, and hence the trade routes from Arabia in the south to Damascus in the north.

Subsequently, the Nabataeans, one of many Arab tribes, migrated into Edom, forcing the Edomites to move into southern Palestine. By 312 BC the Nabataeans occupied Petra and made it the capital of their kingdom. The Edomites were later forcibly converted into Judaism by John Hyrcanus (died 105 BC), and then became an active part of the Jewish people. Petra prospered as the principal city of the Nabataean empire from 400 BC to AD 106.

The Nabataeans flourished in the spice trade and engineered an impressive hydraulic engineering system of pipes, tunnels, and channels that carried drinking water into the city and reduced the chance of flash floods.

After the Roman conquest of Judea, the Nabataeans and others, "Palastina" became a province of the pagan Roman Empire and then of the Christian Byzantine Empire, and very briefly of the Zoroastrian Persian Empire. In 638 AD, an Arab-Muslim Caliph took Palastina away from the Byzantine Empire and made it part of an Arab-Muslim Empire. The Arabs, who had no name of their own for this region, adopted the Greco-Roman name Palastina, that they pronounced "Falastin".

In 1099, Christian Crusaders from Europe conquered Palestine and took Jerusalem. After 1099, it was never again under Arab rule. The Christian Crusader kingdom lasted less than 100 years. Thereafter, Palestine was joined to Syria as a subject province first of the Egyptian Mameluks, and then of the Ottoman Turks,

Answer 1

About as much as the Jews.

And there is no such place as Palestine. Hasn't been for about 60 years. Only appears on maps drawn by Arabs bent on destroying Israel.

It makes as much sense to call Israel "Palestine" as it does to call central Europe the "Austro-Hungarian Empire."

Answer 2

the human beings we now call 'Arabs' arrived in Palestine from neighboring Arabia by using invasion in 638AD and have over a 1300 365 days historic previous in Palestine. The 'Arab' historic previous in Palestine is very almost as long because of the fact the Jewish historic previous in Palestine (and the Christians had a a number of century historic previous there too). by using the time of Mohammad's loss of existence (who Muslims have confidence became right into a prophet of God) in 632AD Mohammad had united all Arabia below Islam and himself and became into waiting to enhance further, yet then died. the different massive powers at that element interior the international have been the Roman Empire and Persian Empire the two considered one of whom had purely crushed one yet another customarily to loss of existence in an prolonged 25 365 days conflict against one yet another. The Roman Empire had held Palestine for over 4 hundred years. while Mohammad died, an previous guy 'Abu Bakr' became into chosen because of the fact the subsequent chief of the Muslims and Arabs, yet he became into elderly and basically lasted 2 years. next became right into a real Arab and Muslim everyday named Umar (Omar) who took over in 634AD. He wasted no time in attacking 'the two' the exhausted Roman and Persian Empires on the same time. He destroyed the Persian Empire continuously and took 0.5 the lands of the eastern Roman Empire (the Western 0.5 had interim collapsed), which contains Palestine in 638AD, which became into surrendered peacefully by using the then ruling Roman Christians to circumvent further bloodshed. The Arabs then got here first as rulers, then as settlers between the previous populations.
