Ok, so Israel trades “Palestine” for Saudia Arabia, and everything’s fair and square.

Sounds like a sticky wicket to me. Especially considering the relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia right now. Are they frenemies?

The whole earth is God’s. Some souped-up moon god and his worshipers are irrelevant.

Well, Yemen was a Jewish kingdom as the whole population had converted. After 1400 years of occupation by Islam, there are less than 50 left in Yemen. My great grandparents walked across the desert to then Palestine and freedom. Look up the wars between Jewish Yemen and Christian Ethiopia. Both were weakened which allowed Mohammed to take over...

I agree CE?

And the title is a bit off from the content

You are

I’ve known Jews in every corner of the world

Israeli youth left in droves in the 70s too and settled in boho locales all over

Other groups do this too

Chinese obviously and ironically what the world refers to as Palestinian and Lebanese and Syrian Christians

Some groups go where opportunity and freedom is

Well, Yemen was a Jewish kingdom as the whole population had converted.

My post was about the area we call today Saudi Arabia.
It is not about Yemen , Syria etc.- Tom

Before I actually got into studying what Islam was about I did some research on that Area we now call Saudi Arabia, before Islam.
