Minority shminority. The Jews maintained a presence in their holy land and the land of their ancestors. Many people invaded and controlled Israel at one point in time or another. Persians, Romans, Christians, Arabs, Turks, British. Actually Israel has been stuck in this never ending tug of war between Islam and Christianity, with Jerusalem as its main prize. Not much has changed over time, but the fact that the land truly belongs to the Jews is indisputable.Hebron, Jews fought the crusaders. Jerusalem, Jews maintained a presence. And so in and so forth. The Jews maintained a presence in the land of their forefathers. .

There was always a Jewish population in 2 or 3 towns like Jerusalem, of course, but as has been posted several times now, they were a distinct minority population in those towns, and by 1690 there were only 2,000 Jews in the region.
Please address this point.
Right. So it is indisuputable that cities like Nazareth and Gaza belong to the Jews, even though Jews have NEVER lived there.
Brilliant.
