>>No, the Arabs arrived with the Arab conquest in the late 7th century ce, conquering and displacing the local Greek and Levantine inhabitants.

The Jews have been in Israel continuously too, just not as a majority.<<

Nadine -

Touche. Sort of.

All of this discussion of who was there when gets very silly when you have to take it that far back, doesn't it? As long as we're not considering giving the U.S. back to the Indians, who had lived here continuously for milennia up until the europeans' arrival, citing the fact that SOME jews have been around in that area for whatever period of time really accomplishes nothing.
