Hello, who is trying to disprove Jewsih connection to the area? That is such an insult.
You have read your own agenda into the post. Since everyone knows about Jewish connection to the land, only an idiot would say that Jews have no connection to it. The problem here is that the only emphasis is on Jewish presence. Very few know that there were and are and have always consistently been other groups living in Canaan/Palestine/Israel. Jews constituted 10% of the population of Ottoman Palestine in 1900. Most were centuries-old families, Oriental Jews or Sephardim. It was the immigration from Europe and other places that upset the demographics and caused the expulsion of natives from territories needed by the immigrants for settlement. And one of the tools is propaganda, namely, emphasizing and exaggerating the presence of individuals of the Judaic faith in the area. That is all. No intention to dicredit Jewish claims to the history of Canaan. Be fair to all.
