Not a biblical scholar, but on the "They were there first." - doesn't the old testament have a whole book of killing and/or driving out other people to form Israel the first time?

Don't be silly- there are *multiple* books detailing the conquest of Canaan and the copious foreskins collected along the way. But that was okay because God wanted them to have it!

Don't pay attention to the fact that the same God is worshiped by the Muslims that conquered it 700 years after the last period of Israelite autonomy and held it for the next 1300 years, give or take.

Also don't pay attention to the fact that "They were there first" undermines the entire legitimacy of the American state.

Jeez can't you just let these people have their genocidal apartheid ethnostate because they believe the bible says so? Why are you such an antisemite?

Somehow ALWAYS an overlooked (strategically ignored) part of that whole gibberish tale.
