antarctica nobody lives there beside the penguins

[@izzykalman4165]

And many of us Jews dress kind of like penguins! Thanks for the suggestion!

We find land. Jews : someone tell holy land?

[@user-ru5qh8xn4v]

Judaism is both nation and religion. both the secular and the religious have a connection to the land. and genetic tests show that the jews have roots in the land of Israel. there are completely religious, there are traditionalist, and there are olso those who do not believe. that there is no other country for oll of them, even for the secular.

[@alisharif4466]

All the above three lands are suitable for palestinians

[@izzykalman4165]

Yes, they are! And so is the Holy Land. If you listen to our latest podcast with Tzvi Misinai, you will discover that most Palestinians are actually descendants of Jews. Not everyone was expelled by the Romans two thousand years ago, only the wealthy and powerful. But at different times in history, there was pressure on the Jews who remained to convert. So we're really the same people.

​@@izzykalman4165there is zero evidence for this claim. Most Arabs in Judea and Samaria ethnically are Syrian/Lebanese/Jordanian. Many are economic migrants or refugees left behind after wars started by Arabs especially after 1967. Please don't spread misinformation which is baseless in fact.

[@rolandbalogh6339]

Yes they are! But are the askenazi jews desendants of the semitic jews? You know, the white ones from ukraine whom picked up judaism around 800 out of nowhere? like bibi and the whole governing elite? Just asking... @@izzykalman4165

And all of the above named lands have people groups that inhabit the land and they are all three lands that Israel has no roots in. If your suggestion is that the Jews shouldn't have founded a state in the Levant because it would be stealing land from the arabs then that would be very inconsistent since your answer would be to have them steal land from Tasmanians, Madagascarians, or Ugandans.

[@scinatit]

Tasmania would have been a perfect Jewish state. The island is mostly Australians of Anglo descent - No Muslim minorities. But the only problem is that the natives there (who aren't really much) would cry and claim land rights. Uganda would've been very dangerous as native tribes and ethnic groups can be militant towards them. Madagascar, I'm not sure about. But it has endangered peoples there, so I'm not sure how that one would work.

[@cottageindustry3040]

What the f*ck are you talking about??? Tasmania should NEVER have become a "Jewish State" The Jewish people have absolutely no historical, cultural, religious or spiritual ties to Tasmania. Tasmanian rightfully belong to the indigenous Tasmanian population just like Judea (the area now known as Israel/ Palestine) rightfully should belong to its indigenous population, the Jewish people.

As a Jew girl living in Israel, I think our historical land where our ancestors had independence, kings and leaders is the only option where we are not colonizers. I mean the current situation is bad, very bad, but still we have returned to a land in which we have a history in, not just biblical history by the way.

[@johnmacdonald-bb2zj]

Israel is the land for Jews .... long long before Islam appeared Jews were there. Palestinian Hamas are not fighting for land .... they are led and funded by Iran and are hell bent on murdering and cleansing the Middle East and the entire World of Jews .... where do Palestinians or any other people's get the right to determine who is allowed to live or not in their righteous land??

[@CandiceGoddard]

Your comment sounds as racist as it does ignorant. 1)The area where Israel is now is their "native" homeland from more than 3000 years ago and some Jews have always lived there, so no other area was a legitimate option. When Zionism started in the 1800s, Jews were going there to join populations that already lived in the region. The major issue only started after the fall of the Ottoman empire in the aftermath of WWI. 2)European Australians in Tasmania are immigrants and pretty recent ones at that. How are they any different to the Arabs in the Levant and North Africa? Do you even know any history at all? The native people of the Levant were darker than me with tightly coiled hair, even you, if you look like the people in the videos on your page are an immigrant whose ancestors got there AFTER the Jews took over Canaan from the original people who lived there as recorded in their historical record, the Bible. 3)The reason why Uganda would not have been a safe long term option for Jews (or anyone) is because of Idi Amin, not the native Ugandans, because Uganda was part of the British empire until 1962 and it became dangerous thanks to Amin. 4)Madagascar was where the Nazis wanted to sent the Jews as an alternative to the Holocaust but it is said that the climate there was supposed to kill them instead much like how many Europeans died trying to colonise the West Indies before they started buying enslaved Africans from the invaders, Muslim Arabs.

@@shirelsloomi8452 Your biblical history is the basis of Biblical archaeology and in fact most archaeology in the Levant uses the Bible as the basis, in fact the reason why people hate Jews is because of the excellence of the Bible and how it is the basis for everything that came after Jesus, by which I mean the year 0. When the first Christians who were Jews spread throughout the Roman empire, they look the kind of attention to details and precision in copying seen in the Hebrew Bible and spread it around. I think the way history is maintained in Europe comes from this because if you read European histories from before this, they are much more vague or non existent because it was only after the spread of Judeo-Christianity that many of these people became literate. The Vikings for example did not even have their oldest known language until 100 years AFTER Jesus and their myths weren't written down until 1300 which was the high medieval period. Think about it. There's no proof of any of the other Holy Books from ongoing major religions BEFORE the archaeologically established date of the Hebrew Bible (a la the Dead Sea Scrolls), for example the oldest surviving copy of the Bhagavad Gita which is a central part of the Mahabharata, a Hindu scriptural text, is only about 630 years old and it's not even in India, it was discovered and remains in the UK. So when we hear claims that Hinduism is older than Judaism (and remember Abraham is said to have lived 3800 years ago using the bible, which is used for archaeological research as proof) where is the scientific scrutiny of these claims like the extensive scrutiny that the Judeo-Christian claims have come under? I mean do you realise that in the bible it talks about giants being in the land and that was part of why the Israelites ended up wandering the desert for 40 years after coming out of Egypt. People consider this as part of why the biblical is not historical but mythical right? But so called secular histories written AFTER the bible, by Greeks and Romans, contain stories of giants too and are accepted as secular history. Maybe you meant that Jewish history in the region continued after the biblical period, and it did, but the biblical history and importance is something that can not be overlooked in my opinion.

From 1900 to 1948 600,000 jewish migrants came to palestine : how many got a visa or consent from palestinians. ? Did any jew ask for the consent of palestine before creating israel ?

[@MusicLover-01]

There was no Sovereign Palestine for anyone to give consent. There never has been in history. Jews have lived in Israel for thousands of years, did the Islamic occupiers ask them for consent to come to their land?

[@user-B_8]

​@@MusicLover-01*After Herodutus, the term 'Palestine' came to be used for the entire region which was formerly known as Canaan.* The region is part of the so called fertile crescent and human habitation there can be traced back to before 10, 000 BCE. According to Genesis 10: 1-20 "The Arabs, Hamites, *Canaanites* and Jebusites were the original inhabitants of the land of Palestine, including the area of Jerusalem." *Canaanites and Jebusites were there long before (at least 2,000 years before) the Jews, and even long before Judaism was revealed!* *So where did the Palestinians get their DNA from?* *One study done by Nebel found substantial genetic overlap between Israeli/Palestinian Arabs and Jews. Nebel proposed that "part or perhaps the majority of Muslim Palestinians descend from "local inhabitants, mainly Christian and Jews, who had converted after the Islamic conquest in the seventh century AD."* *And according to scientific research archaeological and genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Anatolian people in ancient times.* Thus, Palestinian -Jewish rivalry is based in cultural and religious, not in genetic differences. *Researchers also determined that the Canaanites* - who frequently appear in ancient sources, including the Bible - *descended from a mixture of an early Levantine population and migrants coming from the Caucasus region of modern-day Iran.* *And in recent years genetic studies have demonstrated that, at least paternally, Jewish ethnic divisions and the Palestinians are related to eachother. Genetic studies on Jews and Palestinians are closer to each other than the Jews are to their host countries. At the haplogroup level, defined by the binary polymorphisms only, the Y chromosome distribution in Arabs and Jews were similar but not identical.* *A 2020 study on remains from Canaanite (Bronze Age southern Levantine) populations suggests a significant degree of genetic continuity in Arabic-speaking Levantine populations (such as Palestinians, Druze, Lebanese, Jordanians, Bedouins and Syrians), as well as in several Jewish groups (such as Ashkenazi, Iranian, and Moroccan Jews), suggesting that the aforementioned groups derive over half of their entire atDNA ancestry from Canaanite/Bronze Age Levantine populations, albeit with varying sources and degrees of admixture from differing host or invading populations depending on each group.* According to a study published in June 2017 in Frontiers in Genetics, *the ancient Levantines (from the Natufian and Neolithic period) clustered predominantly with modern-day Palestinians and Bedouins.* And according to a study published in August 2016 by Marc Haber, he concluded that *"The overlap between the Bronze Age and present-day Levantines suggest a degree of genetic continuity in the region!*
