DissTroy: The Berbers used to be nomads and never really settled. ...Just like the Fulanis.
That aside, if you ask the average Arab today where his ancestral home is, he'd claim any of this regions I had mentioned in my previous post even though history defies his claims yet the same Arab thinks Israel has no claim to any area in the Palestine region.
Hypocrisy or sheer ignorance? I'd go with the previous because even supposedly educated Arabs and their supporters use the twisted defense.
Heck! if we were to go by even the most recent migratory history in Nigeria, the Fulanis should have as much as rock to call their ancestral home but we are where we are.
You don't judge history or historical precedence in isolation. Not everyone conforms to herd mentality - some go digging and refuse to accept what they've been told unless there's fact to back it up.
actually not all Amazigh were nomads they had kingdoms and city states before Phoenicians and Romans some even invaded Egypt and became pharos
