    There were multiple Jewish kingdoms, not one unified state that the modern day nation state can claim it’s descended from. The kingdom of judea is pretty small compared to the modern borders.

    Never mind that trying to claim that isreal is the continuation of a 2000 year old kingdom with nothing in between, is a pretty brain dead argument.

      Which is why I didn’t make that argument. Learn to read. The same can be said about palestine too btw, both have a history mixed of existance and non-existance.

        Native jews, christians and muslims in historic Palestine only need to point to the fact their parents or grandparents lived on a specific bit of land, while Zionists need to point to a state thats been dead for 2000 years.

        Bringing up Judea in respomse to OP who never mentioned any other historical state kinda does implicitly make that argument.

        Also your reponse to volodya about how you’re trying to counter the “israel came into existence 70 years ago bs” despite the fact modern day isreal did only come into existence 70 years ago and is completely detached from biblical israel or any historical Jewish state reeks of Zionism.
