'the jews' wandered off many centuries ago, Palestine was inhabited by a predominantly muslim arab population when the Rothschilds started their colonies in 1882, and had been for a long long time Trivia point for ya, and the reason why i put 'the jews' in quotes there - it is very likely that in the indigenous arab population of Palestine there are descendants of the ancient israelis ... very very likely, as not all would have wandered off, or wandered so far they didn't wander back since ... i'm pretty certain Nadine has admitted to this on this thread ... the pathan tribes of Afghanistan, btw, believe themselves to be descended from the ten lost tribes of Israel, and there is considerable supporting evidence in language, nomenclature, oral history, even a bible in hebrew, according to one british explorer .... so these and a number of related factors will complicate, for the Excludostaat, the question of Who Is A Jew Informed citizens of an inclusive Menschenstaat will have an answer though, they will just laugh and say, Why should that matter
