| "since long before the area was conquered by the Arabs." It really is pointless trying to tell you the facts. You just put your fingers in ears and go "Not listening, not listening". The Palestinians did not appear with the Arab invasion. They are descended from the Canaanites as are the Jews. The difference being that the Palestinians did not leave. But even if the Palestinians had only been there for the last 1400 years, that would not be a reason to lose their land. A similar period of time since the Anglo-Saxon invasions in English history. "Scientific studies indicate that Palestinians are partly descended from ancient Jews (specifically, ancient Levantines/Israelites) who remained in the region and over time converted to Christianity and later Islam. Genetic research shows Palestinians are among the closest relatives to ancient Judeans and share a common Levantine ancestry with modern Jewish populations." You write "It is pointless to try to turn the clock back.". A very funny thing for a Zionist to come out with, who wants to turn the clock back 2,000 years. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Rather a long time to stay away and then demand the land from close relatives who had stayed. Genetic studies indicate the Ashkenazi Jews are a mix of approximately 40-50% Middle Eastern and 50-60% European (mostly Southern European/Italian) ancestry. |
