witch shame?

[@SamSam-jr5qu]

I thought Israel was only established in 1947. What significance does 1400 BC have for the name Israel, and where were the Palestinians at that time? Additionally, where were the Israelites located when they were defeated by Muslim forces in the 7th century? Were they in the same region as today?

[@dogzdigital]

The State of Israel was established in 1947 and the name Israel was specifically selected by the zionist movement for the religious connotations, absolutely zero connection to the Israelite's though. The zionist movement was a secular movement from Eastern Europe. This is all very well documented.

Good day everyone. "Zelzal" means "earthquake." It doesn't have anything to do with the actual name of the Quran's chapter "Al Zalzalah," which also means "THE earthquake" but in a completely different sense, yet it's not "it." (I'm not a citer, nor do I care if, by chance, you fact-check it-do keep it to yourself.) Al Jazeera, I don't completely trust you, but you're the only one left to trust out of the rest of the news. So don't ruin it.

So the David sling. The catapult David used to throw a stone that killed Goliath, Jalut Palestine King. Soul was to fight Goliath as was the old tradition to the fight of the two army, that the kings will first start to fight with sword. As the preparations were ongoing for the two King's to commence the fight, Soul called his men, saying who would fight Goliath. David, the young boy at that time, came in from and declared he would fight Goliath, but he used the catapult, thew a stone and killed Goliath, Jalut Palestine King. Soul, Talut became the first king to occupy Palestine

Hundred years of atrocities and genocide against Palestinian people and the region from the second Palestine occupation. British mandate of Palestine 1921 and the Haganah forces committed injustices against Palestinian people for 27 years, until the UN 1948 approved the Palestine occupation. Killing and migrating thousands of Palestinian people to establish the second Palestine occupation on justification that. David 921 BC killed Goliath, Jalut Palestine King and occupied Palestine. Google ,who was Goliath. David built his kingdom on the occupied Palestine land. Palestine was then divided into Judea and Samaria after Solomon. Nebuchadnezzar liberated Palestine 600 BC. The second Palestine occupation comes 3000 years from the David 921 BC Palestine occupation. Palestine was occupied by David for 300 years, Persians, Greek, and Roman for 900 years, but Roman doesn't claim Palestine.

[@alpineflieger4363]

It was the Phillistines (not Palestinians). before David killed Goliath etc.. The Israelites occupied the land a few hundred years earlier from the time of Joshua and Caleb (when they took over the land of Canaan). no Philistines then. Never mind ancient history. History starts at 1947 when Israel was formed, and the Brits divided the land (who were the rulers then), It is same as India Pakistan formation...Here the Arans with Palis tried to destroy the fledleling nation of Israel and kept losing everytime and losing land..thats history for you.

[@Saidshuaili]

The history didn't start 1948 but 1921 that justified the 3000 years ago occupation.
