Who Is The Colonial Power?

Netanyahu sets record straight.

The argument against the Jewish state is that they—the Jews—somehow don’t have authentic ties to the land, that they are colonizers. But if any people has historic ties to any given homeland, the Jews have ties to the land in Israel. The Israeli Prime Minster sat down with Dinesh D’Souza: Well, there’s such an ahistoricism in the present days that you’re lucky if people’s memory goes back to breakfast. But I think if you want to go beyond breakfast, go back in time. This has been our land for 3,500 years since Abraham came here, and it was populated by the Jewish people for close to 2000 years by the people of the Bible. That’s when the Bible was written. It wasn’t written in Tibet, it wasn’t written in, I don’t know, in Argentina. It was written here by people that lived here. Our identity was forged here, our faith and our very being. And here we also wrote this book of books that changed history and the perception gave values to not only to the Jewish people, but to all of humanity. So, the Jewish people lived here for thousands of years. We were often conquered by the Babylonians, then by the Seleucid, and then by the Romans, and then by the Byzantines, and finally by the Arabs (Salem Podcast Network).

The fact is Islam colonized the whole Middle East and now Africa and Europe accusing the singular tiny Jewish state of colonization is not merely absurd, but evil.
