Judaism began with the birth of Adam and Eve around 3800 BC. Surely you are joking?

Jews have lived in Israel continuously since prior to the time of Moses. Abraham and his people came from the city of Ur in Iraq. He had a son Issac who in turn had a son Jacob. Jacob's son Joseph, who was sold to Egypt. After Jacob rose to influence, the rest of the family moved to Egypt to join him. Jacob's sons formed the 12 tribes while in Egypt. Only three generations were born in what is now Israel prior to the Exodus, and they left voluntarily. TP

Not true. Jews have lived in Israel continuously since prior to the time of Moses. Many have been lead away in bondage and of course there's the well-known diaspora, but Jews have continued to live in small and great numbers in Israel longer than Muslims have. Judaism began with the birth of Adam and Eve around 3800 BC. The land of Israel started to take on a holy aspect with the invasion by Joshua around 1200 B.C. That predates the foundation of Islam by 1700 years. So what.........I use to live in Minnesota. Does that require Minnesota to give me my own country? And for me, its only been a few years, unlike the Jews who left for a thousand years or more. Christians have lived continuously in the ME since the time of JC. Do they deserve their own country too? ted
