I hope this doesn’t mean Bibi is cancelling the previously-announced plans to do just that in the important Galilee region, where Arabs are still digsracefully a majority.

I am reading a fantastic book “Jews in the Roman World” - and it talks about the history of Israelites.

What is fascinating is that from around 500 BC to 150 BC, Galilee was a mostly pagan area with some YHWH worshippers (Judeans, Samaritans etc.)

It was conquered by the Jewish Hashmonean kings and many inhabitants forcibly converted (just as the HAshmoneans did with the Edomites/Idumeans). But by the time of Jesus, it was still part pagan and hence the “he’s a galilean” comments.

I moved to Nahariya in the Galilee a year and a half ago.
