You and all these your half thought arguments...

The discovery of this synagogue only establishes the presence of the Jewish settlement in the area which has never been in doubt.

It doesn't establish or pinpoint the Jews as the original occupiers of the land.

No dey reason one sidely from the myopic lens of whatever!

U find the presence of mosque on sokoto in 1500 years from now but sokoto indgienes where not muslims, they were Christians abi? And u r talking about someone thoughts to. Some one abi.. Maybe Egypt doesn't belong to the Egyptian because we only just found pyramids there..

Righteousness2:
Pls tell me again— who exactly is the OCCUPIER, and who is the INDIGENOUS?

mrvitalis:
Original inhabitants might not be jews but are certainly not Palestinians

What this shows is simple jews have a stronger claim to the land than Palestinians since they have longer history

brain54:
Prove that they were certainly not Palestines...?

Hoaxen:
If the Jews were there long before Muslims, why are they then dragging Jewish land with them?
The original post shows that Jews are rightful inhabitants of the land.

Apcnewrecruit:
So who are the original occupiers of the land, tell!

Here’s a *simplified historical timeline* of who ruled the land now known as *Israel/Palestine*, from ancient times to the modern era:

---

📜 *Ancient History*

*c. 3000–1200 BCE* – *Canaanite city-states*
- Indigenous Canaanites lived in the region (modern-day Israel/Palestine).

*c. 1200–1000 BCE* – *Israelite Tribes*
- Hebrews (Israelites) settle in the land, as described in the Hebrew Bible.

*c. 1000–931 BCE* – *United Kingdom of Israel*
- Kings Saul, David, and Solomon rule over a united kingdom with *Jerusalem* as capital.

*931–722 BCE* – *Kingdoms of Israel (North) & Judah (South)*
- The kingdom splits.
- *Assyrians* conquer Israel (722 BCE).

*586 BCE* – *Babylonian Exile*
- *Babylonians* destroy the First Temple in Jerusalem. Jews exiled to Babylon.

*538–332 BCE* – *Persian Rule*
- Jews allowed to return and rebuild the Second Temple.

*332–63 BCE* – *Greek Rule (Hellenistic Period)*
- *Alexander the Great* conquers the region.
- Later ruled by *Seleucids* (Syrian Greeks).

So are the Palestinians the original occupiers?

mrvitalis:
Because there is no proof

You go explain tire.

If I say you should give me a story of your family lineage back 5 generations now, you can't!

timizeus:
You forgot to put the 'IF'. They are only allowed if they agree to live as 'Dimmi' and they pay 'Jizya' too. You forgot to read that part though. I was only giving you they full script.

brain54:
What made you think any other original occupiers of the area must have been Muslims...

And would have built a mosque?


Islam didn't spread until after the 7th century. I hope you understand what that means?


My problem with you people has always those of you making this Muslim/Christian affair.

It's so myopic as compared to the complex nature of what is going on in the region!

k4kenny:
Yup. Palestinians who went from Judaism, to Christianity to Islam. Same for the Egyptians who converted from Paganism to christianity to Islam.

Syria, Lebanon, Jordan went from Judaism to Christianity to Islam.

Palestinians didn't evaporate into existence, they're a people who have always lived on the land who simply changed religions, Something early Zionists like Ben Gurion and early Zionnists testified to.

No one is denying Jewish existence on that land, the issue is European colonisers weaponising it to justify ethnic cleansing, genocide and land theft.

Remove religion from this conflict, what's left is settler colonisation, the likes of Europeans in America, Australia, New Zealand South Africa, Namibia etc.

You were the one that brought mosque into the conversation...


Jedaiam is the older religions with roots dating back to around 2000 BCE.

Islam, on the other hand was founded in the 7th century CE by the Prophet Muhammad.

Judaism is older than Islam by about 1,800 years.

So how do you expect to see mosques older or of similar age with synagogues in the area?

Christians and Muslims with there myopic ways of reasoning. Watch closely this will turn into an outright war between two ignorant religions.

LoneSoldier:
Antheist are free from delusion, believers are caged in delusion. Delusion of what, of a mysterious God told in story books. Indeed a man without critical reasoning says there is God.

safarifarms:
The funny thing is that the holy books used by all 3 major religions you've associated with both the Israelis and Palestinians (Christianity, Judaism & Islam) all talk about Jews pertaining to that land. In fact, ironically the Koran which is used by Palestinians (who are mostly Muslims) mentions the Jews/Israelis over 100 times, but not even one mention of the Palestinians. All these books were written hundreds of years ago. The Koran is the newest (said to be about 300 years old) and yet it only mentions the Jews but not Palestinians.

Exactly...

The people practicing Islam had a prior religion. Mecca, medina etc where originally idol worshipers before they embraced Islamic religion.

Religion should be separated from the argument of who occupied the land first is the part they are not getting!
