With UAE deal, Israel opens tentative new chapter with Gulf Arabs

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

It’s not a question of belief, it’s a fact that the Canaanites/Israelites were the earliest known inhabitants of Palestine. They gradually migrated out of the area and returned after WWII as recompense for the Holocaust. This bit isn’t a matter for debate. It’s also drastically over-simplified, but that’s as may be.

What is a matter for debate is whether removing the Palestinians to make room for returning Jews was justified (in my view, it manifestly was not, but there IS a debate about it).

I always believed that Jews got used by the British empire to become the "landmine" the empire leaves behind after its departure from the region. The British empire left such landmines everywhere around Africa and Asia.

It's not a matter of right -because genetically we are all related as humans-, it's a mere justification for the "landmine's" presence though. Israel -even based on biblical sources- was firstly invaded by the original Jews. 

Also you can't say "Canaanites/Jews"; the "Canaanites =/= Jews.

Based on the archaeological evidence, according to the modern archaeological account, the Israelites and their culture did not overtake the region by force, but instead branched out of the indigenous Canaanite peoples that long inhabited the Southern Levant, Syria, ancient Israel, and the Transjordan region[8][9][10] through a gradual evolution of a distinct monolatristic—later cementing as monotheistic—religion centered on Yahweh. The outgrowth of Yahweh-centric monolatrism from Canaanite polytheismstarted with Yahwism, the belief in the existence of the many gods and goddesses of the Canaanite pantheon but with the consistent worship of only Yahweh. Along with a number of cultic practices, this gave rise to a separate Israelite ethnic group identity. The final transition of their Yahweh-based religion to monotheism and rejection of the existence of the other Canaanite gods set the Israelites apart from their fellow Canaanite brethren.[11][12][13] The Israelites, however, continued to retain various cultural commonalities with other Canaanites, including use of one of the Canaanite dialects, , which is today the only living descendant of that language group.
