Jews arrive in the Land of Israel from Egypt in 1200 BCE (3,200 years ago), and anoint the first king, Saul, in 1020 BCE. After being exiled by the Babylonians, the Jews again return to their Homeland in 538 BCE. In 63 BCE Rome takes control of Israel and 100 years later, in 66 CE the Jews revolt against Rome. The Temple (the retaining wall is is now known as the "Wailing Wall" or the "Kotel") is destroyed in 70 CE. In 132 CE the second Jewish revolt begins. This four year revolt is the most effective revolt against the Roman Empire in history! Learn more about it in the video below!

Did I get that right?
And why did you start with the exodus from Egypt rather than the initial migration of Abraham from what is now Southern Iraq?
Joshua 11:16-23
New International Version (NIV)
16 So Joshua took this entire land: the hill country, all the Negev, the whole region of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah and the mountains of Israel with their foothills, 17 from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, to Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and put them to death. 18 Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long time. 19 Except for the Hivites living in Gibeon, not one city made a treaty of peace with the Israelites, who took them all in battle. 20 For it was the Lord himself who hardened their hearts to wage war against Israel, so that he might destroy them totally, exterminating them without mercy, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
21 At that time Joshua went and destroyed the Anakites from the hill country: from Hebron, Debir and Anab, from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua totally destroyed them and their towns. 22 No Anakites were left in Israelite territory; only in Gaza, Gath and Ashdod did any survive.
23 So Joshua took the entire land, just as the Lord had directed Moses, and he gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal divisions. Then the land had rest from war.
The Native Americans believe that two men arguing over who owns the land is like two dogs arguing over who owns the dog.
As for the oldest claimant over the control of Israel, surely that would be someone of the line of David would it not, and just as likely to be Christian?
Some Jewish communities in Africa are among the oldest in the world, dating back more than 2700 years. African Jews have ethnic and religious diversity and richness. African Jewish communities include:
Scattered African groups who have not maintained contact with the wider Jewish community from ancient times, but who assert descent from ancient Israel or other connections to Judaism. These include:
Groups who observe Jewish rituals, or rituals bearing recognizable resemblance to Judaism. Although there are a number of such groups, the majority of world Jewry recognize only the Beta Israel of Ethiopia as historically Jewish.
Groups such as the Lemba, many of whom practice Christianity but have preserved some rituals and customs believed to be Jewish in origin. This group has also been found to have genetic traits that other Jewish population groups possess, thereby bolstering their claims to Jewish ancestry.
Sephardi Jews and Mizraḥi Jews living in North Africa, including Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Sudan and Egypt. The vast majority of them have emigrated, chiefly to Israel and France, with substantial numbers also emigrating to Brazil, Canada and the USA. Small but active communities remain in Morocco and Tunisia.
History also changes with new discoveries... As far fetched as it sounds, it does.
In comments that may shock some staunch Catholics, Cardinal George Pell has described the biblical story of Adam and Eve as a myth.
Evolutionists have said that Africa was the cradle of civilization, Has nothing to do with the bible...
When Charles Darwin first published his theory that African was the "cradle of humankind," it provoked outrage. Part of this was simply religious opposition to the idea of evolution. But another part of it was racist ideology-Europeans simply found the idea that their ancestors came from black Africa to be disgusting. But, in fact, Africa is the birth of humankind, the source of our mythological Eden. And it is quite likely the birthplace of the most important technology developed in early human prehistory. Without those earliest developments, we would not live the way we do.
No one is quite certain when or how we evolved. Humans today are the only surviving species of "hominids"-bipedal creature with enlarged brains. However, at one time, there were several species of hominids. Our earliest known ancestors are called australopithecines; early remains, dating back 1.5-4 million years ago, were found in Ethiopia and S...

No one is quite certain when or how we evolved. Humans today are the only surviving species of "hominids"-bipedal creature with enlarged brains. However, at one time, there were several species of hominids. Our earliest known ancestors are called australopithecines; early remains, dating back 1.5-4 million years ago, were found in Ethiopia and South Africa as early as 1925. Most of the evidence for "early humans" relied on fragments but in 1998, scientists discovered a complete skeleton near Johannesburg that dated to about 3.5 million years ago. There was a "robust" lineage and a "gracile" lineage. The "gracile" lineage evolved into the genus we called "homo"-with a larger cranium and a change in the use of hands and teeth. As early as 2.5 million years ago, this "gracile" group began making stone tools, which they could use for cutting and scraping. This could possibly be our earliest known ancestors
Priest and preachers.. So many miracles are nowadays easily explained by modern medicine (from spiritualistic trance to .. Well, if I say it, ppl will say I'm blaspheming :)))
All I am pointing out is that we can never really be sure what went down. New discoveries will change history facts as we know them again and again..
While I do agree with you , the people need to be more respective of all of people who are different than themselves
I am using YOU collectively, not directed at you directly...
It is those basic feelings that are the real miracles in life are so deeply driven into our minds that after thousands of year of human evolution on this planet that now it is second nature to us. I remind you my Tom cat has no feelings at all for all the kittens he created but all rational humans do. ( however I do love my cat-even though he is evil sometimes) Neither science nor secular philosphy can really explain those feelings but all religions can---my old Jewish babysitter use the tell me when I was 8 years old "The world is saved by the breathe of school children". As someone who trys ( but fails ) to be "Good Catholic" I was taught to respect life. I know many of many of Muslims friends say it " God is Love" ' So you ask what is the miracle I say it is the irrational thing called Love.
The only true miracle is the miracle of love, that feeling that drives you insane and makes you move mountains..
I tend not to judge ppl, everyone is free to do as they please with their lives, and that makes things so much easier and happier..
And religion.. I respect other people's choice, but I myself am not a believer. I believe in live and let live and make love, not war :)
Also I must admit I struggle with this part of the debate becuase IF man was created in Africa ( and science says so) then why would the first REAL civilization be in Mesopotamia AND not Africa given the fact that there was no real transportion system.Furthermore why was it in Mesopotamia where suddenly man began to create a system of writing and organized a society with a clear division of labour but not in Africa do anyone see a civilization like that existed in Mesopotamia. Remenber that the Mesopotamia civilization is about 500 years ahead of Egyptian civilization which can be tracted back to shortly after North Africa became a desert ( it ONCE was a swamp lands after the last Great Ice Age). I have profs who really struggled with this problem and simply put they had no real answer for me.
Because Mesopotamia was concidered a Civilization, does not mean that is where it started... There is Prehistory to conscider...
Prehistory is a term often used to describe the period before written history. The early human migration[35] patterns in the Lower Paleolithic saw Homo erectus spread across Eurasia. The controlled use of fire occurred about 800 thousand years ago in the Middle Paleolithic. Near 250 thousand years ago, Homo sapiens evolves in Africa.
These acient people scattered and began CIVILIAZATIONAL Areas....
