GB, your 4,000-year-old map includes no nations still in existence today, especially no nation of Palestine.

There were no nation states as there are today. The Canaanites were an ethnic group that had occupied numerous sites before the Hebrews arrived.

The Canaanites lost their lands to Israel 4,000 years ago just like the Vikings lost control of England 1,000 years ago.

There were no nation states as there are today. The Canaanites were an ethnic group that had occupied numerous sites before the Hebrews arrived.

The Canaanites occupied the land for no more than 300 years before being driven out by Israel around 400 years after the great flood. Israel occupied the land for nearly 2,00 years until they were driven out by the Romans in the 1st century AD. However, the people of Israel continued their national identity from then until now. Until recently there has never been a Palestinian nation or appearance of a nation.

There is zero evidence of any "Great Flood", or of any exodus of Hebrews from Egypt of the size described in the Bible.
The Palestinians are as deserving of land for a nation as the Israelis are.

By the way, ISRAEL is a word derived from the Egyptian RA and EL and referred to the ten northern tribes of the Hebrews. They were conquered by the Babylonians and mostly integrated into Babylonian society and the remaining Hebrews were Judeans, not Israelis.

The fact is that wat is going on now is a genocide involving ethnic cleansing and deliberate starvation. The US is on the WRONG SIDE of this and should cease aid to Israel immediately.

Major animal extinction events and the fact of large land animal fossils being preserved in sea water sediments are evidence of the flood.

They had their chance to form a nation when Britain divided the land between Jews and Arabs in 1948. If the Arabs had not tried to wipe Israel off the map in 1967 then the Jews may not have occupied Gaza as a means of self-preservation.

3,000 years
The history of Israel dates back over 3,000 years, with the region being inhabited by the Canaanite tribes. The people of Israel are descendants of Abraham, who is considered the father of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. The Kingdom of Israel was established around 1000 B.C., and it was later divided into the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah. The modern state of Israel was proclaimed in 1948, marking a significant point in the history of the people of Israel.

Do the barbarians want the war to cease? Then let them stop killing Jews and release all the remaining hostages.

Are they killing Jews? What Jews? Most of the Palestinians are not holding any hostages.

"Christian priests and nuns based in Gaza City will remain to help displaced people sheltering at two churches despite the Israeli military’s plans to conquer the city, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem said in a joint statement on Tuesday.

“At the time of this statement, evacuation orders were already in place for several neighborhoods in Gaza City. Reports of heavy bombardment continue to be received. There is more destruction and death in a situation that was already dramatic before this operation. It seems that the Israeli government’s announcement that ‘the gates of hell will open’ is indeed taking on tragic forms,” the Patriarchates said.

Hundreds of civilians have been sheltering at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza City and the nearby Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church. Both churches have come under Israeli attack, including the recent IDF tank shelling of the Holy Family Church, which killed three Christians and injured Father Gabriel Romanelli, a Catholic priest from Argentina.

Nuns with the Missionaries of Charity, a congregation founded by Mother Teresa, have had a presence in Gaza since the 1970s and have taken care of disabled Palestinians at the church since well before October 7, 2023.

“Like other residents of Gaza City, the refugees living in the facilities will have to decide according to their conscience what they will do. Among those who have sought shelter within the walls of the compounds, many are weakened and malnourished due to the hardships of the last months,” the Patriarchates said.

“Leaving Gaza City and trying to flee to the south would be nothing less than a death sentence. For this reason, the clergy and nuns have decided to remain and continue to care for all those who will be in the compounds,” they added.

Israel’s plans for the takeover of Gaza City involve the forced displacement of more than one million Palestinians sheltering there. The idea is to push them into southern Gaza, and from there, the Israeli government wants to pressure them to leave Gaza altogether, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials have made clear their ultimate goal is the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territory.

I guess you were never told by your sources that the Palestinians murdered dozens of men, women, and babies on Oct 7, and took dozens of hostages like an invading horde of degenerate barbarians.
