Part of his plan.

It’s about knowledge,, education.
Plus: Though WW2 experience moved many Jews to the left, recently, the shift is to the right
Isaiah 62:1 , “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent...”
According to the Bible, the Canaanites also never left the land. It’s one reason the Israelites kept falling into idolatry.
yes
Makes sense.
I thought that the Bar Kochba revolt of the 130s (under the emperor Hadrian) was a well-known event in Jewish history.
The Jewish people were scattered. And were gone from Israel for generations.
I know people who know very little about their ancestors. We are not like that. I am not Jewish.
“And were gone from Israel for generations.”
The evidence that there were always some Jews in Israel is overwhelming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_and_Judaism_in_the_Land_of_Israel
Agree. And so did the author.
well, genetically and linguistically the Canaanites and Israelites are closely related peoples.
I know it flies in what the OT says, but the genes show them as closely related and their languages were mutually intelligible.
by the by, the Kanaanites were called by the Greeks as Punic or Phoenicians.
Jews in Europe have been left-leaning since the enlightenment age as conservatism in Europe was anti-Jewish.
Napoleon ended the ghettos and discrimination and then many Jews began heavily assimilating - Jews in Germany for example spoke German, looked and dressed like Germans and in all aspects WERE German.
Anyway - when communism arose, it was in competition with the idea of nation-states. For Jews there were 3 options in the 1800s:
1. Assimilate - become part of the nation state
2. Stay in the shtehls etc. - the origins of the ultra-ORthodox
3. Believe in internationalism and that was propounded by Communism
well, no - as the article itself says, they weren't "gone from Israel for generations"
“FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL”
By Joan Peters
700 pages, of which, about 150 are bibliography and most of these are from Muslim documents.
Clearly lays out the facts that Jews own the land and have never abandoned it.
Then you're like me - we history buffs think stuff like this is common knowledge. But it ain't....
Thank your for source.
Most of the world does not understand this.
You misunderstood what I was saying.
Those who left, were gone long enough to not even be aware it was continuous.
Look at what happened to many of the Jews in NYC and in Israel. They turned Left and cannot wrap their head around the reality.
The area, known as the Transjordan while under British rule, had a Jewish population of, at least, 600,000 Jews living there.
And those Jews were a contingent of that population that NEVER left- not under Babylonian rule, not under Roman rule.
Trans Jordan? Across the river? Where?
Am not questioning your accuracy, would like to know where they were during times they were persecuted.
