Since the Joooozzz were slaves in the area due to the Babylon Captivity, I suppose we could blame them!
AND Bush, of course! That goes without sayin’.
This is before the Babylonian Captivity. Nineveh fell in 612. King Josiah of Judah was killed in the battle of Megiddo in 609. The rest of the Assyrian Empire was gone by 605. The Babylonian capture of Jerusalem followed in 587/6.
