May, could and might. How about not at all? Ancient Israel was in Saudi Arabia.

The theory was universally rejected, and, according to Itamar Rabinowitz, had embarrassed many of his colleagues. Several academic reviewers criticised Cape for having accepted "The Bible Came from Arabia" for publication.[16][17][18]

Just another pseudoscientific theory. There are A LOT of conspiracies, myths, and pseudoscientific theories about Jews. It's just another one.

Sounds like a way to discredit the Jewish claim to Judea/Israel in the eyes of gullible Saudis.

Or as proof(!) that the kaaba was built by Abraham and therefore all of Islam is exactly accurate.

People really think that?

I always thought it was a bit kooky that the largest holy site in Islam was a pagan altar built by locals to hold a meteorite. But I guess believing that it's not is a way to not be an idolater/apostate.

All the Abrahamic faiths are full of shit. I was only pointing out that before Islam, Abraham was venerated in the region by pagans there as well.

The Saudi's would NOT place Israel in Saudi Arabia. Lets say that evidence was found that placed ancient Israel in Saudi Arabia. Would you think that Israel should uproot itself and move wholesale to Saudi Arabia? It doesn't matter why Israel is where it is, it only matters that it is there. All kinds of people for all kinds of reasons have wound up where they are now and we don't question their legitimacy. Israel's legitimacy comes not from a book but from the reality of it is there.

Of course. Israel is here to stay, but there is so much FUD spread around the Muslim world purporting to be proof that Jews are colonizers and all sorts of idiocy. The problem is not Israel's sovereignty, the problem is that Arabs and other Muslims, and even many non-Muslims in Europe and the U.S., believe that rhetoric and believe that Israel should be destroyed or sanctioned on that account.

Actually it's not a theory but a hypothesis. To prove it you would need evidence of which there is none. A few archeological digs in the region might prove or disprove his hypothesis but the Saudi's wont allow it because they don't want to believe that Jews were once Arabians any more than the Jews do. However there is also no proof of Israeli occupation of Israel before the Assyrian conquest either even after archeologists have thoroughly dug the region. You will see erroneous headlines like this that say so and so place is this biblical location but that is merely wishful thinking.
