marcos, many people were "indigenous" to Palestine long before the Arabs got there. Once the Arabs got there, people "lived in peace" only by converting and becoming Arabs themselves. Otherwise, they lived in a condition of uneasy subservience, paying extra taxes, limited in their occupations, in conditions that could alter at the whim of their masters the Muslims. They were dhimmis. Go look at the historical conditions of any non-Muslim minority in the Mideast. Look at the Palestinian Christians or the Egyptian Copts today. But the Arab Muslims feel and have always felt this is 100% right, because Allah told them to conquer and they conquered. For land once Arab and Muslim to become non-Arab and non-Muslim is contrary to the will of Allah.

And yes, this is attitude of unquestioned mastery of the Middle East is exactly the story you have accepted hook, line and sinker.

Everybody who reads you can see that you have accepted it. Only the Arabs are "indigenous" to you. When anybody asks, so where are the Jews indigenous to? you either don't answer or say, "they wandered off" so it doesn't count, wherever they are from. (Except for those remained, or those who were in Syria or Iraq or Egypt, places only Arabs are allowed to move to Palestine from. When Jews do it they are invaders).

So it's scarcely any use to call me a liar, when your every word confirms the truth of what I say.
