[Uncle Miltie]

I’m a polemicist. Sometimes, I go on an approximate rant to make a point. In the case of the arabs, I flip the script they use against the Jews in Israel, and throw their exact words back in their face.

Is it exactly true? Probably not. Everything is always way more complex.

But it is more true of the arabs than the Jews. And I’m going to make that point as strongly as I can in order to break open and change a few minds, and deflate their argument that Jews are the interlopers in Israel.

If I try to be unbiased, I still can't see any way in which "Jews are interlopers in Israel".

1. Jews have always been in what is now Israel - even after the 132-136 Bar Kochkba revolt and the Roman repercussions (expulsion of Judaeans from the land), there are still records of Jews revolting in the 200s, 300s etc. and of Jews being allowed by the Christian empress in the late 300s to visit the wailing wall.

Even when the population dwindled to 100,000 or so during the Ottoman period, there were still Jews there.

2. The Samaritans have been there forever as well and genetically they have the Cohen gene

3. Some "Arabs" are mostly descendants of Jews and/or Samaritans - this ties in to your point of cultural obliteration by Arabization.

The problem is that the media shows only Ashkenazi Jewish ministers. What about

Mizrahis or Sephardic or Ethiopian or Indian Jews?

Jews are portrayed as blonde and white - that is only one group. On the other hand look at Assad - he could pass as any southern European or even - at a stretch a northern European
