According to the Old Testament, they were the people who lived where Jerusalem now is. Their city was named Jebus. Solomon captured it and renamed it Jerusalem. So Boney is of the mind if Israel is going to give back territory it has captured, why not go all the way back?

Of course, like many of these reductio ad absurdum arguments the Right likes, it is flawed in many ways. If for no other reason, Jebus is almost certainly not where Jerusalem is now. According to documents from other tribes in that region, Jerusalem had that name at least several hundred years before Solomon supposedly captured it. Assuming it was captured, the jebusites have long been assimilated and don't exist as a people any more. So there are no jebusites to turn the city over to. Of course, once Israel is done with their genocide, Palestinians in the Occupied Territories might not exist either...

I guess Boney thinks that because Israel did it once before, they get a pass on committing genocide against the Palestinians.
