Jews Are Serial Invaders of Palestine, Not “Original Occupants”
by David Sims
THE ANCIENT HEBREW conquest of Canaan began with Moses, about 1400 BC, and it was carried out by the method of serial genocide. The Hebrews would surround each little tribe of native Canaanites, one at a time, and kill them all: men, women, children — and sometimes sacrifice the babies in the furnace-idols of Moloch.
See the Bible, chapter 31 in the book of Numbers, for an example:
The Midianites probably figured that they had gotten off easy when the Hebrews left them with only some torture marks and their raped women. But apparently at least one of the Midianite women had an STD when a Hebrew warrior raped her, and the infection began to spread among the Hebrews.
Moses, of course, and in true Jewish fashion, set all of the blame for the outbreak of loathsome disease squarely on the shoulders of the Midianites. He ordered his army to go back and slaughter them all. So the Hebrew army went back to the Midianite land and started killing. But the Hebrew general was soft-hearted and, instead of killing the women and children, he rounded them up like cattle and started marching them back toward the Hebrew camp.
Moses either got word from a scout or saw them coming, and he went out to meet the army. When he saw the captives, he became very angry. I’ll paraphrase what he said, according to the Jews’ own words in the Bible (and feel free to check my work): “What! Have you saved the women and children alive! I told you to kill everybody! Now, therefore, kill all of the women who are not virgins, and also kill all of the little boys. But, umm, you can keep alive the little virgin girls for raping.”
So the acquisition of Palestine/Canaan by the ancient Hebrews began 3400 years ago. However:
Recent genetic studies indicate that Palestinians have significant DNA derived from Canaanites. A 2020 study found that Palestinians, along with other Levantine groups, derive approximately 81-87% of their ancestry from Bronze Age Levantines, which includes Canaanites and Kura-Araxes culture impact. Additionally, a 2021 study by the New York Genome Center confirmed that the predominant component of the DNA of modern Palestinians matches that of Bronze Age Palestinian Canaanites. Palestinian Muslims are on average 70%-75% Levantine with DNA derived from Canaanites. Palestinian Christians have even higher percentages, averaging 90% Levantine DNA derived from Canaanites. Both groups also show admixture with peninsular Arabs, East Africans, and Bronze Age Europeans, though the extent of European admixture is generally lower in Palestinians compared to some Jewish groups.
The Kura-Araxes culture (also named Kur-Araz culture, Mtkvari-Araxes culture, Early Transcaucasian culture, Shengavitian culture) was an archaeological culture that existed from about 4000 BC until about 2000 BC.
The ancestors of the Palestinians have the prior claim on the land of Palestine/Canaan. Their history in the region goes back 6000 years, which is considerably earlier (2600 years earlier) than the earliest claim that the Jews can make. So, if ownership claims go by temporal precedence, the Palestinians win.
