The Hatshepsut Facebook page describes itself as “A page to search the history of ancient Egyptian civilization alongside various civilizations.” Yet its singular focus seems to be promoting an anti-Israel narrative where everything is “Palestine.”
But so many of the photos and captions they use are “own goals,” which serve to remind people of the Jewish connection to the land, including their role in building it up in to what is now modern Israel.
Like this oldie-but-goodie:
this photo showing the pool outside Bat Galim Casino in Haifa, a significant historical landmark situated in the initial Jewish settlement in modern Haifa:
this photo, which shows the original Ramla station building, built as part of the Jaffa–Jerusalem railway, a project headed by Joseph Navon, an Ottoman Jewish entrepreneur from Jerusalem, after previous attempts by the British-Jewish philanthropist Sir Moses Montefiore failed:
this photo purporting to show a “map of Palestine”, but actually showing a map of the Partition Plan with its proposed Arab and Jewish states, which was rejected by the Arabs:
and this photo of Yad Vashem(!):
But believe it or not, these are actually the less damaging-to-their-cause examples, given one might need to do a bit of investigating to realize the truth.
The page has stupidly posted some way more in your face examples.
Like this one reminding everyone of the great Jewish king who preceded the Muslim conquest of the area by over 1600 years:
and my favorite, possibly of all time:
