The JEWS are NOT the Indigenous People of the Land of Israel (But then who is?)

The Jews are not the indigenous people of the Land of Israel. And they were

not the first people here. That is a fact that can’t be denied. So,

who are the indigenous people of the Land of Israel? Is it the Palestinians? Well, no.

The native people who walked the Land of Israel about a million and a half years ago lived south

of the Sea of Galilee. We don’t know much about them because they died a million and a half

years ago, but what we do know is that even posing the question ‘Who are the indigenous

people of the land of Israel?’ demonstrates a deep misunderstanding of the history of the

Middle East. The idea of indigenous people may be true of places like the Americas and Australia,

where native people had lived for thousands of years before the Europeans arrived in the 16th,

17th and 18th centuries. This is not the case in the Middle East, and to just apply what you

know of your own history to the rest of the world is a bit… well… ignorant… no offense.

The land of Israel is and always was a corridor that many different peoples and empires passed

along. Here is a quick history lesson. Before the state of Israel, there was the British Mandate;

before that, the Ottomans; before them, the Mamluk, the Crusaders, the Muslim Caliphate,

the Byzantine Empire, the Roman Empire, the Hasmonean (Jewish) Dynasty, the Greeks,

the Persians, the Babylonians, the Assyrians, the Kingdom of Israel, the Canaanites, the Egyptians,

the ancient empires of Mesopotamia, people were living here in the Chalcolithic Age, the Neolithic

Age… So please tell me who the indigenous people are. It’s very simple: you can’t.

But, and this is a very big but, the group of people who have the strongest connection to this

piece of land is the Jews. Very few people have such a strong and long-lasting connection to a

piece of land as the Jews do to this one. Maybe the Chinese to China or the Japanese to Japan,

but you won’t find many more examples. It starts with the name. We are called Jews because this

area is called Judea. Self-explanatory. We are from here. The Arabs, by the way, are from Arabia,

the area of Saudi Arabia. The Jewish religion even has a set of religious rules, which date

back a thousand years, that apply only to the Land of Israel: The first fruits are brought

as an offering to the Temple; the edges of the fields are not harvested and left for the poor;

and every seven years, the fields are given time to rest, and all the crops are left for the poor.

Now I know that some pro-Palestinians would say that just because the Jews believe that God gave

them the land, that doesn’t mean the Jews can steal the land belonging to the Palestinians.

First, please watch my videos about stealing land and genocide, the links are below, and second:

whether you believe in God or not, whether you adhere to Judaism or Islam or Christianity,

or whether you believe in nothing at all – none of that is relevant. What matters are the facts.

Jerusalem was the capital of the Jews as far back as three thousand years ago – that is a fact. The

center of Jewish life, the temples, stood on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem – that is a fact.

The Jews have always prayed toward Jerusalem – that is a fact. At every Jewish wedding,

over thousands of years, we have always mentioned Jerusalem – that is a fact. And only the Jews have

this connection to Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. The Muslims may turn their backs

to Jerusalem when they pray toward Mecca, but Jews will never turn their backs on Jerusalem.

Jerusalem was never the capital of a Muslim Empire,
