Actually, no, the Jews were there long before. Whenever there is an archaeological dig, they find ancient JEWISH items. Yes, there was a time when the Jews were NOT a majority, since they had the diaspora. But their original land was in THAT location.

False. There are numerous inscriptions and artifacts from various civilizations which inhabited the area.

15,000 years ago Africans settled in the Levant. They are the Natufians.

Arabs were in the Syrian dessert 6,000 years ago.

Philistines in Canaan 4,000 years ago.

Judaism 3,000 years ago.

The Assyrians, Akkadians, Egyptians, Jebusites, Amorites, Edomites, Philistines, Phoenicians all settled in the region before Israel.

You do realize that Tel Aviv — the Tel comes from Egyptian. Not Hebrew.

That’s why there are hundreds of mounds across the region with the word Tel like Tel Marduk. The legacy of ancient Egypt in the region.

It’s called the Bronze Age.

Jews didn’t emerge till the Iron Age.

All of this is true. Judaism forced itself on the land same as Israel did.
