Quote:Jews were the original inhabitants of the area long before the arabs came along
No they were not, anymore Europeans were the first to "discover" America.
Trace back our species evolution far enough and there are always humans pior. "I was here first" is bullshit for any political or religious label to claim. We never ceased to be part of the same evolution and our species is much deeper rooted in DNA than our invented social clubs.
The Canaanites were around that same region prior along with all the polytheism of other cultures. And there were prior humans to the written tradition as well. Our DNA tracking is showing that ultimately our species originated in Africa.
