My facts are straight. That is why you cannot point out any errors in my posts.

Only if you go back to Bronze Age Canaan. The Palestinians diverged before the Israelites formed their Iron Age kingdoms.
And like you've said before, the Palestinians may not have been part of
any of the Iron Age kingdoms that rose from the ashes of Bronze Age Canaan.

True, but so what? Being indigenous does not make it OK for Palestinians to murder other indigenous people.
maxdancona wrote:2) Have you read about Moses leading the people to Israel, and then Joshua conquering it?
Not since I was a child. I remember the gist of the story however.
There are many parts of the Bible that match up to history and archaeology. But not all of it is historically accurate.
That said, do we know for sure what became of the descendants of the Hyksos?

The Biblical story of the Israelis coming to Israel says that they are not indigenous to the land.
According to archaeology they are the original indigenous population.
