This is an example of what happens when history is allowed to be rewritten, folks. Nobody questioned this 40 years ago. (except for Yassir and his flunkies). The archeological evidence that backs up the old testament is overwhelming (I have a book, called "The Bible As History" that has a cirulation of 50,000,000 copies -- printed first in the 1950's, that details *all* of the archeological evidence of Jews having all of the lands in Israel as theirs.)
However, since Jimma Cawtuh was president, there has been a steady effort to rewrite middle eastern history as we know it. The kids that are growing up today have no idea that there are really no such things as "palistineans," and in 10 more years, if Satan has his way, there will be no such things as jews.
Is it still in print? Who is the author? I would like to order a copy.
