To: David
Israel was in the land from 1420 to 176 AD--1600 years; maybe less 70 years of the Babylonian captivity.

I'm not sure what "in the land" is supposed to mean but in all those years except a very few hundred the land was owned by Egypt, Persia, Greece, or Rome with the Hittites and Assyrians coming in for briefer shares. By the way, all this marvelous evidence you mention has yet to turn up any mention of David, Solomon or the early Biblical kings, although there is plenty of evidence for somewhat later kings and contemporary kings of neighboring states. There is almost no evidence for Israel in this early period--just one mention on an Egyptian stele, and that mention does not include the heiroglyph for "state" indicating that Israel at this time was a nomadic tribal group.

Or did I get off the subject?

This is all fine, but possession is 9/10s of the law. The Jews are there, have several Nukes and have won every war, time for the Arabs to figure this out and go for peace. I am sure as soon as Arabs develop Democracy, Freedom, Liberty, Individual rights and so forth this will happen.
