@maxdancona,
In the Discussion title, the use of the words "Biblical Mythology" promote the author's non-belief in the Jewish Scriptures, and that such people also reject its historical references to previous Jewish sovereign states in the Jews ancestral-homeland of Israel.
Israel is re-established within the Jewish ancestral-homeland: Map of the post-Biblical Jewish Hasmonean Kingdom including the “West Bank”, Gaza, and Golan Heights, with its capital of (what is now EAST) Jerusalem / “Old City”. Between 110 BCE / 754 BH and 63 BCE / 706 BH:

It is therefore illogical to accuse the Jewish people of:
“Invading”, “stealing”, “illegally-occupying”, “being a colony”, or having “illegal-settlements” on, the Jewish ancestral-homeland.
