If you see a community of people missing from a chunk of history (Queer/trans/religious ect) and your immediate thought is “oh they didnt exist then” instead of “oh shit these people had a bunch of their history erased” you have fallen for genocidal propaganda.
the irony of this being tagged free palestine while the pro palestinian movement actively seeks to erase every single aspect of jewish connection to the land of israel.
my guy, you have fallen for genocidal propoganda.
No, they havent. If you think isreals genocide agaisnt Palestinians has ANYTHING to do with Judaism and not the fact that isreal wants to literally flatten palestine to the ground for their own zionistic gain then I promise its not me who has fallen for propaganda. Isreal as a country did not exist pre 1948, palestine has been mentioned in ancient Greek texts. Jewish people have never had a specific homeland, thats… kinda the whole point as “gods chosen exiles” (source my ashkenazi Jewish girlfriend).
Also literally the only evidence of the kingdoms of isreal even existing is the bible, which has been changed for political gain many times. To quote a book called “The Bible Unearthed”
[In archaeological excavations] not only was monumental architecture missing, but even simple pottery shards. The types that are so characteristic of the 10th century in other sites are rare in Jerusalem. The most optimistic assessment of this negative evidence is that 10th century Jerusalem was rather rather limited in extent, perhaps not more than a typical country hill village. This modest appraisal pattern meshes well with the rather meager settlement pattern of the rest of Judah in the same period. It is highly unlikely that this sparsely inhabited region of Judea and the small village of Jerusalem could have been the center of a great empire stretching from the Red Sea in the south to Syria in the north.
(The Bible Unearthed, Simon & Schuster, chap. 5, p. 133-134)
If a few unidentified and highly debated ruins plus the bible is all the evidence you have of a supposedly large and very wealthy civilization then man youve gotta lot of faith.
oh youre going to bring up the philistines? the philistines who fought and were regarded as invaders by the israelites? the philistines who were aegean, not arab, in origin and no verifiable connection to the arab palestinians of today? those philistines?
arab palestinians call themselves palestinian because that was the name given to the region by its roman conquerors after they expelled the, get this:
Jews that were living there!!!!
“palestine” cant even be pronounced in arabic. they dont have a letter that makes the sound “p.” it is a word that has origins in ancient egyptian and biblical hebrew, and in the case of hebrew pleshet (root PLST, similar to PRST/PLST in ancient egyptian) means invader. omfg
Which is why its locally called Filastin. Pleshet wasn’t the original name it was the Hebrew name given to Philistia.
lol
I’m surprised you can even type out a full sentence as you seem to struggle to rub 2 coherent thoughts together.
