I'm not a hater. That's stupid.That can't even be agreed upon in the scientific community. You will need something else besides the tel DanDude, the Jews have been hated for thousands of years. Don't give me that bullshit
And I am well aware the Palestinians are violent and shit. So us the Israeli govt.
The Jews first appear in secular archaeology in 323 BCE in the history of Alexander The Great, as inscribed by Ptolemy one of his 4 greatest generals. Prior to this all we have is Jewish religious history in the Tenakh (Hebrew Old Testament). The Tenakh is consistent with other external archaeology as far back as the Hittites in 1300 BCE however. So whoever was transcribing the Tenakh during mid Roman Empire times was aware of the Hittites several thousand years before modern archaeologists rediscovered them again in the 1940's.
That the Jews were hated is not an accurate portrayal.
That they would not bow to Greek or Roman statues of gods was cause for unrest.
That they rebelled from Roman rule was cause for the sacking of Jerusalem.
That they persecuted and tried to exterminate early Christians with the cooperation of the Roman Emperors is why they were whipsawed after Constantine issued his edict of tolerance in 325 A.D.
The Catholic Church hated them for a while but eventually became tolerant.
Adolf took anti Semitism to a new level and managed to erase Judaism from most of Germany in about 5 years. In France, Italy, and the Balkans the Jews persisted however.
It is Adolf who is most responsible, together with Stalin, for the migrations of massive numbers of Jews to Palestine in the late 1940's.
So Adolf and Stalin unwittingly helped create the new State Of Israel.
And the Palestinians have hated them ever since.
I also suggest you update your archeological knowledge.
There is definite proof of the existence of King David, and also King Solomon for those who wish to bother looking into it:
The Tel Dan Inscription: The First Historical Evidence of King David from the Bible - Biblical Archaeology Society
-----------
Until very recently, there was no evidence outside the Bible for the existence of King David. There are no references to him in Egyptian, Syrian or Assyrian documents of the time, and the many archaeological digs in the City of David failed to turn up so much as a mention of his name. Then, on July 21, 1993, a team of archaeologists led by Prof. Avraham Biran, excavating Tel Dan in the northern Galilee, found a triangular piece of basalt rock, measuring 23 x 36 cm. inscribed in Aramaic. It was subsequently identified as part of a victory pillar erected by the king of Syria and later smashed by an Israelite ruler. The inscription, which dates to the ninth century BCE, that is to say, about a century after David was thought to have ruled Israel, includes the words Beit David ("House" or "Dynasty" of David"). It is the first near-contemporaneous reference to David ever found. It is not conclusive; but it does strongly indicate that a king called David established a dynasty in Israel during the relevant period.
Another piece of significant evidence comes from Dr. Avi Ofer's archaeological survey conducted in the hills of Judea during the last decade, which shows that in the 11th-10th centuries BCE, the population of Judah almost doubled compared to the preceding period. The so-called Rank Size Index (RSI), a method of analyzing the size and positioning of settlements to evaluate to what extent they were a self-contained group, indicates that during this period - David's supposed period - a strong centre of population existed at the edge of the region. Jerusalem is the most likely candidate for this centre.
To sum up the evidence then: in the tenth century BCE, a dynasty was established by David; the population doubled in the hill country of Judah, which acquired a strong central point, probably Jerusalem, a previously settled site that was important enough to be mentioned in Egyptian documents. These facts are certainly consistent with the biblical account; but, before examining the biblical version, we should consider the nature of the Bible and of the historical material it contains.
Myth and Reality of King David's Jerusalem
Jews do not need anything to "prove" to others that they have their history.
Other people do not, neither does the Jewish Nation.
Proof abounds on the Land of Israel, being dug up every day.
That leaves haters like you............simply hating Jews even more.
What do Jews care about haters like you?
Not at all.
I'm just more of a reality, skeptic type of guy. I don't buy the bible as fact. I don't buy unfounded accusations either. I am quite Aware of how quick humans are to manipulate to satisfy an agenda. Especially of that magnitude.
Let me second this so it comes from a third party. Harley and I prolly don't agree much on issues, but he is honest, and brings a healthy skepticism. I've never known him to be a hater, and Six's taking a point out for a walk in the woods is the same thing he was trying to do with mine. Of the two, Harley's way more honest.
So there.
