Dear Bill Clinton, Most Jewish people willingly immigrated out of the middle east before modern times. A claim to land is not eternal. Do Native Americans have an eternal claim to the land of the USA? Should all non-native people be forced to move back to whatever country their ancestors came from? This is why people as old as Biden and Trump have no business being in office. They refuse to update their ideas with new research. |
It's not even true.
The Natufians were first in the area. Jericho was founded 9,600 BC, Jerusalem 3,000 BC. The Israelites 'invaded' in 1,290 BC, led by Moses across the Red Sea into then called Canaan. The Philistines (Hebrew word for invaders) came from Crete in the 12th century BC, shortly after the Israelites.

However Palestinians have older, Natufian DNA: More recent studies since 2017[32][33] have found that Palestinians, and other Levantine people, are primarily descended from ancient Levantines present in what is today Israel and Palestine, dating back at least 3,700 years.[34] According to Marc Heber et al, all modern Levantine Arabs descend from Canaanite-like ancestors, whereas later migrations impact on their population ancestry was slight.[35]
So no, Palestinians were in the 'holy land' before Israelites.
