The point is the same: The Jews were driven from their homeland, and when they came back their homeland had been destroyed. Nope. The Jews did much of that themselves. At the earliest time slice of our model, 1000 BC ( Fig. 6 , top left panel), the Near Eastern regions (Iraq, Syria-Lebanon, and Palestine-Jordan) clearly display widespread deforestation due to both the high population densities already achieved by that time and the low proportion of high quality agricultural land. Several small parts of central Europe (within Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria) display 70% clearance by 1000 BC, but overall the bulk of the European continent retains its forest cover in areas that were still mainly occupied by prehistoric societies. For example, North African and Eastern European regions display little or no defores- tation at this time slice. In contrast, regions with very small amounts of cultivatable land such as Norway and Sweden had already cleared much of their usable land (a small area compared to the total area of the region) to be able to support their populations at this time wsl.ch Yes, there were various uprisings; but they weren't "acting like Hamas". Um, random killings of Romans and massacres don't count? Genetics has nothing to do with anything It has everything to do with it. It proves that the Palestinians didn't just wander onto the scene at a later time. They were there the whole time. The Israeli government has been trying to de-legitimize any Palestinian claims to their homeland. Which is why they pass around information like the name 'Palestine' is a corruption of the word 'Philistine'. What better way to attack their legitimacy than to claim they are the Jews historical enemy? Genetics help here. The Philistines descended from the Phoenicians and were not related to the Palestinians and Jews at all. Or the claim that there never was a Palestinian people. Their identity as Palestinians dates back at least to the 1800s. Apparently, you agree that conquest (and re-conquest) is the only legitimate way for land to change hands Straw man. You must really be getting desperate. Land changing hands as the result of conquest has been illegal under the international laws of war for more than a century. It is a war crime. Just like ethnic cleansing. Just like occupying an area and not making sure they have adequate food, water, shelter or medical care.
