Know Your History: Jews Transforming The Land(NY Times, 1890-1912)

Israel is one of the few indigenous cultures to no longer be non-dominant on their ancestral territory.
OOOOOPS, there you go again conflating biblical Jews with European, terrorist immigrants.

The ones that had just emerged from Auschwitz, you mean?
Exactly, many israelis today actual ancestral homeland is Poland.

And how did they get there in the first place?
 
Rome did thieve and murder.

Two wrongs never make a right.

It is not today's terrorist jews' territory and never was.

Righting a wrong makes a right.
When the world takes that philosophy on your precious stolen land, please remember your last post.

You admit the land was stolen from the Jewish people. Should that wrong NOT be righted?

Remembering that I am arguing for the rights of BOTH the Jewish people and the Arab Palestinian people. Why can't all the wrongs be righted?
 
So your argument is that it wasn't that great, so it was open to hostile take over?

Even someone like you knows that Israel has been a Jewish homeland for 3,000 years. They were their 1,500 years BEFORE the Arabs.

Actually Jews were in ancient Canaan 2400 years before the Arab/Muslim invasion. From Abraham until Mohammad "woke up" due to the Christian "Invasion" spreading their Word and converting Arabs to Christianity.

I like it that Israeli cool has all of those articles which show what was really going on in the Land of Israel via witnesses who wrote books, articles or anything else which totally contradicts the endless Arab/Muslim "Palestinian" narrative of THEM being the indigenous people of the land.

Their own Quran contradicts everything they have been saying for the past 100 years in order to destroy a sovereign Israel.

What makes a people "indigenous"?

Can you provide a relevant definition of what makes indigenous from a decent source?

ALL indigenous people are now LAUGHING at you.

And since the Arab "Palestinians" are indigenous of ARABIA, they are also taking a good belly laugh at what you just wrote.

I asked you a question, you can either answer the question, or you can not answer the question, but writing a load of nonsense is a waste of time. Are you going to answer the question?

I mean, asking for the definition of a word should be pretty normal. I guess you just CAN'T answer the question.

Very few of the ancestors of Arab Palestinians are from Arabia. Arab is a linguistic and cultural denomination. Think of it like Hispanic. What is hilarious is your poor attempt at propaganda. The Palestinians are descendants of the people that have always lived in Palestine (including Jews) amalgamated with an influx of mostly non-Arabian pilgrims. The Arabians came as rulers, not settlers.

What you did is called a Trick question.
You know very well the definition of the word Indigenous. As it has always been defined, as all other indigenous peoples are defined. That is until the Jewish People became, again, Sovereign over their own ancient homeland.


What is YOUR definition of Indigenous and where did you find it?
What is the source for this totally different definition of the word indigenous you seem to be wanting to spread around?
 
You can tell someone is really not interested in debate

I don't think anyone is really interested in 'debating' you. Israel exists, it will continue to exist. All your whinging and crying about Jews being self-governing isn't going to change that.

You're debating about the colour of the sky and all your arguing doesn't change anything.
 
What makes a people "indigenous"?

Can you provide a relevant definition of what makes indigenous from a decent source?

You mean like the UN definition?

Indigenous peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live.

Self- identification as indigenous peoples at the individual level and accepted by the community as their member.
Historical continuity with pre-colonial and/or pre-settler societies
Strong link to territories and surrounding natural resources
Distinct social, economic or political systems
Distinct language, culture and beliefs
Form non-dominant groups of society
Resolve to maintain and reproduce their ancestral environments and systems as distinctive peoples and communities.


Just to highlight a few things:

1. Indigeneity is defined by culture (not genetics or race).
2. Indigeneity is the culture which existed in the territory PRE-INVASION, colonization or settlement.
3. Indigenous peoples determine for themselves who belongs to their group.
4. While non-dominance is generally useful to define indigeneity, Israel is one of the few indigenous cultures to no longer be non-dominant on their ancestral territory. This is, in part, the intent of UN resolutions concerning indigenous peoples -- to foster international acceptance and law of indigenous self-government.

I mean any definition that is being used.

So, with this definition, who are the indigenous people of Palestine? Or aren't there any?

Definitely NOT what would give you the answer to your questions, if you actually wanted to know them.

No, I'm telling you what I said.

And I'm not in the mood for your nonsense right now.

You have said NOTHING, because you know NOTHING, and do not have the guts to come out with the fact, that like all others anti Israel people on the threads, you learned to be anti Israel/Jews from the same source as them.

We are not interested in what you have learned in the "Lets hate the Jews" Madrassas.

Either you do know what you are talking about or you do not.

I would say the general feeling from all you have written so far.....

NOT

Dude, I'm not interested in debating with you, because you're not interested in debate.

You have no idea what I think because you're so interested in shouting and trying to make yourself look good, that you forgot to debate. Bye.

Ooops, you did not like the answers to your questions.
Not listening as you do not, is good for debating?

Shalom !
