Isn’t posession 9/10ths of the law?
>>Isn’t possession 9/10ths of the law?
My title didn’t quite ask what I meant. In the past I was trying to find out who ethically and historically had a right to modern Israel.
Agreed, possession is 9/10ths. History is fraught with examples. Neanderthals can make a better case than Cro Mags that Europe belongs to them, but there are none to tell it to the judge.
A lot of Jews and a whole lot more Arabs claim a right to the land that is now Israel. This matters because they are constantly at war. I wanted to figure out whether my country’s support of Israel was just or whether as the Arabs claim we are propping up greedy, kick ass Europeans who are taking advantage of unsuspecting, naive, poor Muslims.
Joan Peter’s book From Time Immemorial answered my question.
