"Commissioner Lin was the most effective official in Qing China. In December 1838 he arrived in Canton and declared a War On Drugs. He initiated mass arrests of known Chinese opium dealers and put up proclamations announcing his mission to completely destroy the opium trade. He ordered merchants to abandon the trade and users to surrender their pipes. His men began confiscating thousands of pounds of raw opium and tens of thousands of pipes from the local population"

"Simply not true and no serious historian believes that. Herodotus talks about many Arabs living in what he calls Palestine as early as the 5thC BCE. The Islamic invasions a thousand years later are archaeologically invisible and consisted only of a change of ruling class. Peoples certainly moved in and out of the region and the Palestinians have a cosmopolitan mix of genes in their veins but they're DNA shows them to be descendants of the mix of peoples who passed through the region for millennia"
