Yes, they were spread out and they came back and they became a nation, as prophesied, I know that you are scared of that, but it happened.
So, your support for the premise that modern Israelis are identical to the ancient Israelites boils down to this:
1 - Acknowledge that there's a 6000 year gap between the two
2 - Invoke religious prophesy
3 - Tossing out a petty insult
I've heard better arguments from Al Gore telling me that the polar bears are going to be extinct next month.
After being granted statehood, truman called to recognize their state 8 minutes later. A few days later, Israel was already beating back arab countries who were trying to sack it. Israel went on to beat several ME countries in the six day war.
I get it, you're a fanboi. Isn't it funny that every time the pro-Israel/pro-Jew crowd defends their position they sound like a rabid NFL fan trying to justify why they love their chosen team?
