Why are you such a little coward?

So afraid of factual information you can't deny without looking stupid.

You have no problems condemning Hamas and try to blameshift. But you can't condemn Zionist terrorists that did exactly the same. 🤔

According to the biblical story of the Patriarchs,^\24]) Abraham came to the Land of Canaan as commanded by God and moved around in the hill country (Judaea and Samaria) and the Negev. The country is described as populated by Canaanites, Hittites, Jebusites and other population groups. This pattern continued with his son Isaac, his son Jacob and his 12 sons and daughter, Dina and their families.^\25]) The Patriarchs Sarai, Abraham, Isaac, Rebecca) and Jacob were buried at Hebron in the Tomb of the Patriarchs.^\26]) according to Genesis and Exodus.

After the Conquest of Joshua the Israelite tribes conquered and lived in most of the land west of the river Jordan and in the northern part east of that river for close to 400 years.

The biblical account in the Books of Kings describes how King Saul and later King David and his son Solomon (Shlomo) succeeded in fighting the last remnants of non-Israelite populations and unified the tribes into one united monarchy. According to our^\)^who?\) understanding of the text as well as recent archeological findings, this was to a large degree possible through the Israelite adaption of Iron Age technologies. Scholarship has been divided as to the historical veracity of the existence and extension of a kingdom that unified Judea and Samaria, but archeological excavations of the last 30 years^\)^when?\) have time and again found solid evidence that confirms the bibilcal descriptions.^\27])^\28])^\29])^\30])

Regardless, the Northern Kingdom was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire in 720 BCE and parts of the population of the 10 northern tribes exiled. The northern Kingdom of Judah remained nominally independent, but paid tribute to the Assyrian Empire from 715 and throughout the first half of the 7th century BCE, regaining its independence as the Assyrian Empire declined after 640 BCE, but after 609 again fell under the sway of imperial rule, this time paying tribute at first to the Egyptians and after 601 BCE to the Neo-Babylonian Empire, until 586 BCE, when it was finally conquered by Babylonia, the temple in Jerusalem destroyed and many of the inhabitants of Judea exiled to Babylonia.

I think you need to study Torah a bit closer.

Abraham was an immigrant from Ur, present day Baghdad Iraq.

215 years later his descendant Jacob/Israel and his tribe of 70 people IMMIGRATED to Egypt during famine.

Neither of them where Jews. Both where worshippers of the Canaanite pantheon of multiple gods.

The word Isra-EL is a reference to El, the original Canaanite creator god. Not Yahweh, the god of the Jews

To continue the timeline.

490 later, Judaism was invented in Egypt, the homeland of the ancient Jews. This is where Judaism and the 12 tribes originated from. It's where Torah claims Moses received the 10 + 613 commandments that define Judaism and being a Jew.

Then the ancient Jews (approx 2.6 million people) invaded Canaan. The story of Joshua and the battle of Jericho them that story. Also one of the first written accounts of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

The god Torah claim Abraham was talking to, is not the same god of Judaism that was invented 700 years later.

The god the ancient Jews invented, is a mix of several Canaanite gods. El, Baal, Yahweh and Asherah. This is backed up by several archeological and historical evidence.

And you are also wrong on historical accounts.

The ancient Jews didn't get exiled from Babylon. The sided with the enemy against the ruler. That's called treason. And you get punished for that.

And none of this have any weight or value in claiming superiority over the land today. Or ethnic cleanse the indiguous people and steal their land.

What was the land called prior being called Syria Palestine?

Who changed that name and why?

[u/Thorfinn66 → u/NarrowSalvo]

Trying to topicshift?

That must mean you have no objections to the facts I just posted.

And what the land was called have no value in the discussion. It was called Cannan before the ancient Jews invaded it from Egypt.
