again, you're rambling. is your point that everyone is one people? because im not sure anyone would agree with that. how you can claim that two religions whose inceptions are thousands of years apart are the same just because the same god was coopted for the later religions, or ignore the differing cultures etc. but whatever, you do you.

Ah, yes. Giving historical context is rambling.

is your point that everyone is one people?

No? You said Jews have some kind of claim over the land. If they do, the native people have an even stronger one. Everyone isn't one people. The people in the region are from one group (which we often call the Canaanites), which the Jews of the period are also a part of. None of them have any special claim to the land. Just because someone's super special book tells them that they are chosen by the super cool guy in the sky doesn't actually give them any legitimate claim. If you want to discuss it with people who don't believe in fairy tales, you need something stronger. Since they're the same group of people they all have equal historic claim.

how you can claim that two religions whose inceptions are thousands of years apart...

OK, you apparently don't know anything about Islam or Christianity. That's fine. They aren't incepted thousands of years apart. They're the same continuity. The prophets in the Jewish faith are also in the Christian faith, plus some extras. The prophets in the Christian faith are also in the Muslim faith, plus some extras. They're from the same inception. Jews just don't believe all the stuff of the other faiths past a certain point.

For example, if you stop following Marvel movies after Iron Man 2 or something, but someone else follows ones that came after, it doesn't mean their understanding was incepted later. They just kept adding stuff. They're all Marvel movies. They don't become not Marvel movies because you stopped watching.

... or ignore the differing cultures...

That's exactly my point. The Jewish culture has diverged from the one they had when living in that region, as has the people who still live their. How do the Jewish people have a stronger claim despite their culture diverging when they didn't even live there anymore? If it's a claim by culture, the people who still live there have a stronger claim.

... but whatever, you do you.

You don't get to just spread lies and propoganda, then say "whatever" when it's pointed out you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Try to educate yourself. Maybe you can not make the same mistake again, instead of just saying "whatever" as if you weren't wrong. Growth is a virtue, not a vice. You need to be able to admit mistake in order to grow.
