The Jews owned it first. Muzzies stole it.
That's the historical pattern. The muzzies never create anything of value. They simply capture the work of others and claim it as their own.
The Hebrews captured it from the Philistines.
The Babylonians captured it from the Hebrews.
The Persians liberated the Hebrews and allowed them to return to the area.
Alexander the Great conquered the area and the Greeks held it until 165 BC.
There was a brief revival of Hebrew sovereignty from 165-63 BC.
The Romans conquered the area in 63 BC.
The Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed after the Great Jewish Revolt 73 AD
The Romans lost control around 330 AD as their empire disintegrated
The Greeks returned to control during the period 330-638 AD
The Arab Caliphate controlled the area from 638-1099 AD
Popes launched nine crusades and "Crusaders" held Jerusalem on and off from 1099-1244
Saladin captured Jerusalem in 1244 and held it until 1250
The Mamluks from Egypt held the area from 1250-1517.
The Ottoman Empire held the area from 1517-1917.
The British held the area as a madate from 1917-1948.
The State of Israel was founded in 1948 and holds the area to the present day.
One look at this miserable history makes me wish all the parties in the area would consider an entirely new approach.
Si vis pacem, para pacem
