    Or just accept that we have two (or more, really) groups of people that have historical and cultural import around the same region?

    To be honest I don’t care about anyones special fucking book. Tracing backwards the land belongs to:

    The Palestinian peoples: 1940’s-now

    The Ottoman Empire: 1500’s-1900’s

    The Christians: 11th century

    ?: 11c - 63bc

    Romans: 63bc

    Jewish peoples: 63bc-931bc

    So by this whole “history culture” logic I have more of a right to Israel having been raised culturally Christian than the Jewish peoples.

    But that’s dumb. I’m gonna arbitrarily draw the line 100 years ago and say anyone after that can fuck off. If you have to go further back than great-great-great grandparents then you don’t have a claim to it.
