Polls show most Arabs living in Jerusalem don't want to become part of the Palestinian Authority. So Israelis obviously aren't committing genocide against them, otoh Obama's friends in Iran DO want to commit genocide against Israel. Obama's other pals are actually committing genocide NOW against Christians and Yazidis.

Also, David conquered Jerusalem, not Solomon.

Jerusalem was referred to as Salem many centuries before that according to Genesis. See Melchizedek, king of Salem in Abraham's time.

Your source is bad. King David took it, not his son, Solomon.

My point was, how far back to you go? Canaanites? Shem?

According to the Old Testament, they were the people who lived where Jerusalem now is. Their city was named Jebus. Solomon captured it and renamed it Jerusalem. So Boney is of the mind if Israel is going to give back territory it has captured, why not go all the way back?

And here I thought Jebus was a play on the name Jesus.

I guess Boney thinks that because Israel did it once before, they get a pass on committing genocide against the Palestinians.

That, or maybe since Israelis are the chosen people and protect many of the world's Christian artifacts, they can do whatever they damn please.
