The anti-Israel cause is an Industry of Lies.
Photo evidence was released showing that the so-called “ancient Palestinian city of Sussiya” in the West Bank never really existed, according to a reports by the Tazpit News Agency.

The saga began fifteen years ago, when an Arab family erected a tent, illegally, near the archeological site of the ancient town of Sussiya in the Hebron area. As time passed the tent became a makeshift structure, which expanded into several structures. To give this illegal settlement character, and with the supports of extreme left-wing activists, the 'ancient' town of 'Palestinian Sussiya' was invented.
The town's alleged plight of persecution by the Israeli authorities has been widely covered by the international press, who have been told of an ancient Arab town, whose residents have been unjustifiably driven out by the hostile Zionist entity.
This makes for a great human interest story, but for one setback – the 'ancient Palestinian Sussiya' never existed. It shows up on no records. The British Mandate held a survey of the villages in Israel in 1945. Palestinian Sussiya is not on the list. Aerial photos of the area from 1992 and 1999 reveal exposed terrain with no structures in sight.
Aerial photos from 2012 show some 30 structures and tents. The 'residents' of 'Palestinian Sussiya' come from the nearby Arab town of Yatta, all members of the Nuwaj'a clan. There may have been some minor Arab-owned agriculture in the area, and the farmers may have lived by their fields in the adjacent caves during some of the seasons as is the custom in the region, but this was only temporary dwellings for a few months during the year.
