I’m sure the king of Spain holds the historic title of King of Jerusalem, but as they refused point blank to assist Americas war with Iran, I can’t see them raising a crusader army and invading the Holy Land Cheers.

The Jews didn’t “take “ Isreal; Britain, which was then a world super power, gave it to them Blame us , if blame is needed Cheers.

Because the Jews WANTED to return to their ancient home land, the land that they believed Jehovah had promised them , as his chosen people. Cheers.

The west divided the Middle East long before Isreal was created. The Sykes- Picot agreement between Britain and France created borders, created new countries, moved kings and royal families around the Middle East like chess pieces. The Hashemites who ruled the west of what is now Saudi Arabia, the Hejaz , were moved to be kings of the new country of Trans - Jordan and the re- bordered countries of Iraq and Syria , and the Saudi royal family moved from Kuwait to form the country of Saudi Arabia. Emirs and princes were made from various warring tribes . France took suzerainty of the

What part of “sharing ancestral roots” do you not understand ? They “ developed” in Europe, they originated in the Middle East. Cheers.

“When you beat your head against a wall; it doesn’t knock sense into you; it knocks you out; so best not to do it” A Chart proverb I’ve just made up Cheers.

It’s what keeps me going mate , a purpose in life , a bit like the Quest for the Holy Grail Cheers.

The Yiddish LANGUAGE originated in Europe, not the people who speak it . Cheers.

Because certain sects of Jews speak a language called Yiddish; which is a mixture of Hebrew and Aramaic, Middle Eastern languages there forebears spoke, mixed with German languages where they settled after leaving the Middle East . But I’m sure you knew that and it was just a rhetorical question Cheers.

I’m not from Normandy and my missus isn’t from Scandinavia but we can both trace our ancestries to those places. Jews are a very insular people, very few people “become” Jews, The vast majority of Jewish families didn’t originate in Europe, they are descendants of Middle EastJews. Read the Old Testament, the 12 tribes of Isreal were dispersed across the world. Cheers.

Too simple mate I read some things on here that are proposed as fact and they are anything but, so I can’t help myself and have to give an opinion. ” Jews are white and Arabs arent “ is one instance. Go to the Levant, the Fertile Crescent, northern Syria, Iran, etc and you’ll find Jews and Arabs as white as me, Arabs with blue or green eyes , blond or ginger hair whose families have been there for millennia. After all, the Jews and Arabs are both Semetics, didn’t they both originate from Abraham/Ibrahim supposedly ? When I have “discussions “ with family and friends wh

What about Beta Isreal, the Ethiopian Jews, the Falashas ? They’ve lived in Ethiopia for perhaps 2,000’years, reputedly descendants of Dan and the lost tribe of Isreal, from the kingdom of Solomon . They’ve all in all moved back to their “homeland” Isreal . How far back in history do you have to go ? Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt back to their “homeland” in Canaan. If the “Middle East” problem was easily solved it would have been done a long time ago Cheers.

After WW2, the Allies, basically the US and UK, were discussing where the Jewish homeland could be situated. The three suggestions were the British Palestine Mandate, Uganda and the eastern province of Saudi Arabia. King Ibn Saud was asked about it and he said “why do the Jews need a homeland ?” , and was told “because the Germans murdered six million of them”. After a moments thought, the king replied “ well, give them Germany ! “ Sounds sensible to me Cheers.

I sometimes agonise over posting on here in case I come over as a smart arse, but the Middle East is close to my heart, and HH posed a genuine and interesting question so I gave my considered opinions and caveated them that they were just MY opinions and could be wrong. Cheers.
