Since we have considered this, I would like to approach this from an alternative angle in response to this post.
Despite the apparent hate filled veiw many have for the Jew, or better said, my brother Judah, it should be noted several points made here are infact
fabrications.
Truthfully speaking, from the Day GOD gave the Promised Land to Israel, Judah has always remained in the Israel. Certainly hardship, slavery, and
murder has occured to some of the population of Judea by any and/or most of the overlords who invaded the land since, but, some have never left.
....However, there is a preliminary historical fact that must be established now. There has never been a civilization or a nation referred to
as "Palestine" and the very notion of a "Palestinian Arab nation" having ancient attachments to the Holy Land going back to time immemorial is one
of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon the world! There is not, nor has there ever been, a distinct "Palestinian" culture or language. Further,
there has never been a Palestinian state governed BY Arab Palestinians in history, nor was there ever a serious Arab-Palestinian national movement
until 1964... three years BEFORE the Arabs of "Palestine" lost the West Bank [Judea and Samaria] and Gaza as a result of the 1967 Six-Day War
(which the Arabs started). Even the so-called leader of the "Palestinian" people, Yasser Arafat, is EGYPTIAN! In short, the so-called Arab
"Palestinians" are a manufactured people...a people with no history and no authenticity... whose sole purpose for existence is to destroy the Jewish
State!
Israel first became a nation in 1312 B.C.E., two thousand years before the rise of Islam! Seven hundred and twenty-six years later in 586 B.C.E.
these first ancient Jews in the Land of Israel [Judea] were overrun and Israel's First Jewish Temple (on Jerusalem's Old City Temple Mount) was
destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, king of ancient Babylon. Many of the Jews were killed or expelled; however many were allowed to remain. These Jews along
with their progeny and other Jews who would resettle over the next 500 years, rebuilt the Nation of Israel and also a Second Temple in Jerusalem upon
the Temple Mount. Thus the claim that Jews suddenly appeared fifty years ago right after the Holocaust and drove out the Arabs is preposterous!
Then in 70 C.E. (nearly 2000 years ago), it was the Roman Empire's turn to march through ancient Israel and destroy the SECOND Jewish Temple,
slaughtering or driving out much of its Jewish population. Many Jews left on their own because conditions for life were made unbearable in many
respects... yet thousands upon thousands stayed and rebelled on for centuries in order to once again rebuild a Jewish Nation in this Holy Land.
Over 3250 years, various Peoples, Religions and Empires marched through Jerusalem, Israel's ancient capital. The region was successively ruled by
the Hebrews [Jews], Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Maccabeans, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Egyptians, the Crusaders, Mamelukes, the Turks
(who indifferently governed the backward, neglected territory from the 16th century until the British drove them out during World War I) and then once
again by the Jews in 1948. None bothered, nor were they in the least bit inclined, to build a Nation of their own... EXCEPT the Jews!
It must be noted that in 636 C.E., when the Arabs marauders came to the land and uprooted even more of its Jews, they did not form any Arab nation
there... and certainly not a "Palestinian" nation. They were simply "Arabs" who, as did others before them, moved into a geo-political area
called "Palestine!" And remember this one fact... it was not the Jews who "usurped" (a favorite word from the Arab propagandists) the land from
the Arabs. If anything, it was the Arabs in 636 C.E. who overran and stole it from the Jews!
Now some may deem the material offensive, but it is FILLED WITH FACTS, which present TRUTH to a subject where deceptions and lies abound.
The Web Site goes on to offer much more in way of STATING FACTS which we either tend to not consider or are ignorant of, but the portion above was
used to remind us, the a part of the population has always been in Israel, since Israel's creation.
In the Babylonian experience, I was under the belief it was the Royal Family and those who served the Temple and the King along with minions and such
that where taken to Babylon. Not all of the Jews. Of course the two daughters of the House of David did flee, and sought safe haven in Egypt.
In the Roman occurance, I was again under the impression a Dead Jew paid no tribute to Ceasar, so only those fighting against Rome in a defiant manner
where removed.
Certainly it is better to live somewhere else, than remain as a slave, and certainly in both cases some may well have done so.
But NEVER have the Jews, or better said, my brother Judah, fled or been marched out of Israel completely in some 3500 Years of so. Some have always
remained awaiting.
