What about Egyptians calling themselves "palestinians" - like Yasser Arafat?
Most of the Jews were either killed or dragged to other countries, but there has been a continuous presence of Jews. A Jew is always a Jew, whether in Israel or dispersed by the Nations (Rome, Babylonia, Persia, etc.)
The stupidity of this map is two-fold.
First, 10 of the countries shown on the map (not including Israel) aren't Arab.
Second, the Jews are every bit as Arabian as the Arabs themselves. By the same token there also are Christian Arabs. The current President of Lebanon is Christian, as were more than 20 of his predecessors.
By tradition, the Arabs and the Israelites are blood kin, cousins by the Prophet Abraham.
The only difference is that the Israelites are the descendants of Abraham's legitimate son, and the Arabs are the descendants of his bastard son.
First: Addressed in #33. And you’re way too literal and pedantic.
Second: Ashkenazi Jews have entered the chat.
What about?!? What about!?! I did say there was migration. But Arafat was born in Egypt to Palestinian parents. Kinda like Ted Cruz. Not an Egyptian.
Only a Jew if an actual Judahite.
It appears you are accepting a ‘minimalist’ theory, so that is where we will have to agree to disagree. Once you go down that road it is impossible to reconcile with my views.
