But Israelis/Jews already existed in antiquity in those areas, Kingdom of Judah, even 1000 years before the Palestinians, now, if the "Filistin" theory is true then they waged hostilities since these periods, saying that Jews arrived "later" is an error, they were kicked by force but 2000 years later they went back to their homeland to retake it, Islam was created around 600/630 AD, so 6 centuries after the Jews were kicked out of their homeland by the Romans, I don't support their cause nor their plans but they certainly aren't alien to the Middle East, Arabs grabbed Egypt and Middle East as well as Iran and North Africa as well, maybe those populations should re-think about an "reconquista"..
There is 0 evidence for any kind of a kingdom of David or of other fictional figures like Solomon or Moses. I suggest you read the scholarly work of two of the most knowledgeable scholars of hebrew bible ( and canaanite history) i.e Mauro Biglino and Francesca Stavrakopoulou. Just like the egyptian "exodus" these are just madeup stories, with influences mostly during the babylonian captive period of the jewish elite.
They were also forced to leave that area, not all, but a good part was, also many of them were killed, those who migrated had their reasons, Jews didn't decided in one day to leave their homeland, rename it "Palestinae" and then wage war against everyone, but they certainly had "shady" plans since the times of Alexander the Great, so saying that Jew's ancient home is not Jewish is wrong, again, the Muslim Arabs arrived in Middle East much later, certainly Arab communities already existed in Roman period Middle East, but they were not Muslims, if you had an piece of land and you were robbed and someone replaced you then your descendants go back to retake it, nothing wrong, as Russia wants Ukraine back, because it was their land and Ukrainians are basically Southern Russians, the country itself is fabricated, some lands and cities were and still are Polish the rest are Russian by history, same with Israel, if the Jews just leave to that area and finally stop annoying everyone in the world it would be a good thing, but they won't stop since they have so much power, Alexandros should have minded his business..
You are still using the word "homeland" when it is essentially an invaded part of the canaanite's land. Every battle vs the canaanite tribes is recorded in the torah. I do not even understand what you mean by who had "shady" plans or what does alexander the great ( 4th century bc) has to do with the roman-jewish wars 5 centuries later when the jews left judea. In fact alexander the great left the jews alone and let them follow their laws, sacrificed in the temple following the instructions of the high priest etc So I think you are completely misinformed about basic historical events.
I was under the impression that the Israelites were another group of Canaanites. And it was hard to say whether they had admixture from anywhere else in the near east.
The main group inhabiting the land that the israelites call Judea were the amorites. The canaanites is mostly a geographical terms so some describe the israelites as the descendants of the canaanites but others do not include them as they essentially wiped out the different tribes that we call canaanites ( who btw include even the ugarits, the phoenicians even the protoarabs)
The war started in 1917, not in 1947. And why should they accept the resolution? The very resolution that gave Israel 56% of a land where over half of the population was Palestinian and was predominantly made up of Palestinian villages. Israel depopulated all of these villages to pave for settlements.
Their predecessors being Muslims or not is totally irrelevant, the conflict is basically ethnic cleansing. Palestinians did not replace anyone, they're mainly the descendants of an amalgam of ancient communities who lived there before Islam, and that includes Jews, Samaritans and Christians of various backgrounds, including Christian Arabs. Palestinian ethnogenesis took place in Palestine. Their dialect retains a heavy Aramaic and Hebrew substrata. Their customs and attire, their folk dances, are all reminiscient of ancient Levantine customs practiced there before Islam.
to me they are after the 7th in october
Palestinians are also Levantine, have Levantine ancestry, form a Levantine continuum with their fellow Lebanese and Syrians, and inhabited the region continuously for millennia. They are no strangers to Palestine. None of what you mentioned justifies the depopulation that ensued since 1948.
You probably weren't adressing me in this comment. My whole stance on this is neutral. And yes I do know that modern Jews (Ashkenazi, Sephardi, etc) have ancient levantine in their aDNA. I just didn't mention it in my previous posts.
no i wasn't
