100 years since San Remo Conference which shaped Middle East

It’s been Jewish land for 3,500 yrs
The pales all came from Saudi Arabia
The long history of Jews in the land of Israel is clear as day light, the palestinians are trying to deny it but after San Remo Conference the League of Nations made the Jewish historic rights to Jewish legal rights. At that time the palestinians Arabs saw themselves as part of big Syria.

There are many palestinians Arabs from Egypt too. Here -

That is a very tough question to answer. First I don't believe that the whole Hebrew Nation was ever captive in Egypt, so if there was a slave exodus from Egypt it was only part of the Hebrew Nation which was part of the Exodus.

Second, there are records of an Asiatic people called by the name Apiru, Hapiru or Habiru who helped another bunch of chariot-riding Asiatics called the Hyksos invade and overthrow the last Egyptian dynasty of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom c. 1550 BCE. When the Egyptians finally overthrew their foreign Hyksos rulers and formed the Egyptian New Kingdom, there must have been thousands of former soldiery or their descendents from the Hyksos period who could have been thrown into bondage. If the Apiru, Hapiru, Habiru were Hebrew allies of the Hyksos who were finally overthrown by the Egyptians, then there might have been wide scale Hebrew slavery in the early New Kingdom Egyptian period.

It is also interesting that in polytheistic Egypt there was a wave of monotheistic practice at this time, much to the chagrin of Egyptian priests and that this wave crested very soon after the New Kingdom was reformed in the reign of the Egyptian Phaoroh Akhenaten who tried to impose the rule of the one God Aten as the only God of Egypt. Needless to say this did not go down well with the powerful priests of Apus and other Egyptian gods, so Akhenatun's reign came to a bloody end and his memory was all but erased from official New Kingdom memory. Since monotheism (or near-monotheism) was a hallmark of early Hebrew Judaism it might be that this wave came from Hapiru rulers who were later overthrown but whose monotheism reverberated for about a century in the New Kingdom.

So the short answer is I don't know the answer to your slavery/captivity question but there is circumstantial evidence about what might have been a Hebrew captivity after the overthrow of the Hyksos and their foot-auxiliaries the Apiru/Hapiru/Habiru.

Cheers and be well.

it did exist

Exodus is fact

Correction:

The period of Hyksos rule was from about 1650 BCE until about 1550 BCE. I was 100 years off due to bad memory. Apologies.

Cheers and be well.

TR:

While I am inclined to agree that some sort of Exodus of Semetic people did occur, the evidence is not conclusive. If you can offer some please do.

Cheers and be well.

100 years since San Remo Conference which shaped Middle East - The Jerusalem Post


Part of history which proves the legal rights of Jews in the JSG. Part of history which many choose to ignore.
A day to remmber.


So when the Turks ran Palestine, there were like 5% Jews.

The British took over Palestine after the war and they let Jews immigrate to Palestine, like 400K did.

After WWII, all those European Jews fled Europe for Palestine, millions washed up on Palestine's shore.

1948 the Palestinians were tired of this slow invasion and fought back, they had a lot of Arab support but they lost.

1950 the UN makes Israel a nation.

More wars.

The argument that the British let Jews displace palestinian Arabs is false, in 1920 there were about 700,000 people living in Palestine, today this same area has over 9 million people, the Jewish people bought lands and turn the swamps to agricultural lands, they didn’t displace anyone. Also, when Israel established there were about 700,000 Jews living in it, so the millions you were talking about is incorrect to say the least. In addition, the British actually placed restrictions on Jewish land purchases and immigration in Palestine (the 20% that left from Palestine, the other part became Transjordan).

At no point in time there were any palestinian country, at that time the palestinians Arabs was part of big Syria, and they reject the partition plan and went to war in 1948 to kill the one day old country Israel. The Jews unlike the palestinians Arabs, have legal rights in these lands, from Balfour declaration, San Remo to the League of Nations approval which still valid till this day.
