Prior to 1948, what was the name of the territory that is now called "Israel"? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 27848208 United States 11/19/2012 02:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It was called palestine by the British, Palestine by the Ottoman Empire, and Palestine by the Romans. Before that it was called Israel and before that it was Caanan. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22705145 It was never called Palestine by the Ottomans, because, IRONICALLY, even they realized that was just a fabrication and province name invented by the Romans. No more relevant than Dacians or Hibernians. Strange how now MSM libtards now insist it is a real country or shit, even though the Muslim Ottomans would laugh at such a notion. No? |

You dig the soil and you find pottery from Davidic times, coins from Bar Kokhba, and 2,000-year-old scrolls written in a script remarkably like the one that today advertises ice cream at the corner candy store." The people of Israel (also called the "Jewish People") trace their origin to Abraham, who established the belief that there is only one God, the creator of the universe (see Torah). Abraham, his son Yitshak (Isaac), and grandson Jacob (Israel), are referred to as the patriarchs of the Israelites. All three patriarchs lived in the Land of Canaan, that later came to be known as the Land of Israel. They and their wives are buried in the Ma'arat HaMachpela, the Tomb of the Patriarchs, in Hebron (Genesis Chapter 23).

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28057101 Australia 11/19/2012 06:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The only reason the state of Israel exists at all is because the western powers of the mid-19th Century willed it to be so. Jews, being almost Christians, were the perfect candidates for the creation of a buffer zone between the British and French holdings in North Africa. Using their stories about some God-given birthright, Jews began emigrating from Europe to their "holy land" in the 1840s. This pleased the Western European PTB of the day as they would soon have a buffer against any Russian advances south into North Africa and the Med Coast. The dream finally became a reality in 1948 with the creation of the state of Israel, and while the Israelis were forced to fight for their very existence a couple of times against the massed armies of their rambunctious Arab neighbours, the existence of Israel in such a strategic area served to limit Soviet expansion and air and naval movements during the Cold War of the 1950s to 1990s. Israel was very convenient for Western civilisation and will remain so for the foreseeable future. When it ceases to be convenient they'll throw it to the wolves.

They carried their traditions and religion all over the world, for 2,000 YEARS following their expulsion from Judea by the Romans in 70 AD. Now reason this out, here is what these "Khazar" numbnuts would have you believe. A group of people willingly choose to practice a religion that brings them persecution and death for 2,000 years and in our time they enjoy a holocaust in the gas chambers of Adolph Hitler. They are not really Jews. They are not really the descendants of Judah. They are "fake" Jews, and their descendents are those who emigrated to the ancestral homeland of the "real" Jews. It is ridiculous on the face of it, but people who hate the Jews are willing to believe the ridiculous. |
