This is the familiar Egyptian we all know as the "happy host" in Egypt...

Who would have guess this Muslim would be in denial of the ancient Jews presence in Middle East?????

More proof that the bible is an accurate, historic documentation.

When Mark Twain visited the Holy Land in the 19th century he found it a desolate and almost deserted landscape once you got out of Jerusalem, itself a very minor city.

Meanwhile, Chaim Potok has a very detailed and moving history of the wanderings of the Jews through historical space and time called “Wanderings”

While many Jews were dispersed throughout the mid-east and Europe over thousands of years, I’m sure that some survived from year to year in Israel and some probably even became Muslim under pressure from the Arab conquerors in the 7th century, just as they became ‘Christians’ in Spain.

How can the author refer to Joseph’s Tomb in the West Bank and a couple paragraphs later suggest that it is in Egypt?

To bolster the case for the historicity of the exodus, Mahoney cites recent archaeological work in the region that was once called "the land of Goshen," described in the Bible as the home of the Israelite people during their four hundred year sojourn in Egypt. These archaeological explorations have uncovered the presence of a substantial Semitic population there—which suddenly disappeared in the 13Th Dynasty of Egypt. This just happens to be the same era in which, many historians have surmised from surviving Egyptian historical records as well as references in the Biblical account, the Exodus must have taken place.

The story is contradictory in other ways.

You can’t both argue that the Israelites did their exodus from Egypt AND Saudi Arabia and that both countries are trying to cover up evidence of it.

"....Arab governments and political circles wish to deny to the Jews the status of indigenous inhabitants of the Middle East....."

With all due respect, only a fraction of the Israeli Jews have genetic origins in the Middle East. For the most part they are Eastern European.

Torah has too much in common with modern science
To not maintain such constancy with God.

It would be most interesting to do some research and see if higher critical theory enjoys its monopoly at “prestige” universities in part because of moslem money.
