Abu Abdallah Mohammed bin Ahmad bin al-Bana al-Bashari al-Maqdisi (born 946 CE)
Maqdisi of his journey to Persia.
‘One day I sat next to some builders in Shiraz; they were chiseling with poor picks and their stones were the thickness of clay. If the stone was even, they would draw a line with the pick and perhaps this would cause it to break. But if the line was straight, they would set it in place. I told them: if you use a wedge, you can make a hole in the stone. And I told them of the construction in Palestine and I engaged them in matters of construction.
The master stonecutter asked me: Are you Egyptian?
I said: No, I am Palestinian.
He said: I heard that you carve stones like you would carve wood.
I said: Yes.’
Palestinians have been calling themselves Palestinian for a thousand years.
‘Israel’: invented ‘narrative’. Palestine: the documented record.
