Why does anyone think Israel was there first??? Lmfao. Their own Torah says otherwise.

"God gave this to us" isn't a legitimate argument.

i think most people don't know the history and just figure it's a normal country we're allied with for the normal sort of reasons

I think this is the one relationship where people do know some version of the history.

Even less when they wrote it themselves.

But it's basically the same argument the USA used.

Manifest Destiny.

Because Arabs came there only in 600year a.c. While Israely were there from 10 000 b.c. Along with other tribes, but not Arabs. But then Arabs made up Muslim and started claiming everything and being cry babis if not allowed.

I don't believe a book where all people started from Adam and Eva having two sons, one of them died and second one giving birth to more man etc, without women. Where they fucking goats? Also this book is stupidly bloody, unjust and outright dumb.

That's funny cuz that is exactly what Israel is basing their claim of this land on.
