At least try to get your facts right !!! According to Wiki and other sites the ancient kingdom of Israel was founded around 1200 BC, so unless my math is wrong that places a gap of approximatly 3200 years between then and now. Not as you claim over 4000 years. Also in my opinion the time period should be conciderably shorter than that as there were long periods of time during that 3200 year period that the kingdom of Israel did not exist, the latest one being between 70 AD and 1948 AD.
Next time try researching the subject before you open your mouth
Israel has been occupied for long periods of time, however, no indigenous nation except for the Jewish nation has ever been established in Israel for the past 3000 years.
Your history lesson for the day.
This is
You could not teach any sort of history !!!
Your use of the term " indiginous nation also shows that you have little command of either historical or anthropological language. The proto-canaanites ( the first of the canaanite peoples ) established permanant agricultural settlements in the Levant ( the historical name of which Israel is a part of ) around 6200 BC and there were thriving city states ( Jerico, and others ) existed around 3200 BC. Also around 1400 BC the KING of hazor swore loyalty to the Egyptian New Kingdom. City States especially in the ancient times were considered to be nations in and of themselves. However in many cases theses soverign nations formed loose confederations in order to pursue comon goals such as defence and trade. Canaanite civilization at the coming of Abraham ( approximatly 800 years before the birth of Israel ) was one of these loose confederations. It was bound togeather by a common language, a common culture and probably in this case most importantly strong trade associations.
Mr. Stone, the reason that research is worth the effort is that if you do it you don't look like a fool when you open your mouth !!!
