<...if you wanna play the "who got here first" came, the Jews can beat everybody at that one...>
It is so easy to poke holes in your self-serving Mythology. And all the evidence I need, abundant evidence, comes from the Jew's own holy texts.
The Promised Land wasn't empty when Moses looked across the Jordan at it, any more than it was when the Zionists did it again 3000 or so years later. The Old Testament tells the story of ethnic cleansing, one town after another, where the Chosen People slaughtered every living thing. Men, women, children, livestock, all put to the sword. Even the Serbs in Bosnia weren't that thorough.
And after they massacred the previous inhabitants, it still took several generations, to violently stamp out the Other Earliest Ideas. Over and over, the Prophets had to bring down God's Wrath, to get the Jews to quit worshipping the Asherah, and the other Gods and Goddesses who had been worshipped for millenia before the Jews got there. It's all there, in the Bible and the archeological record. Deny it, and I'll quote chapter and verse, as much as you want of that ancient bloody story. Which is echoed in the modern bloody story. |
