people who try to play the “but jewish people were here 3000 years ago” card really need to learn what christians and muslims are.
christianity branched from judaism like 2000 years ago.
and islam branched from christianity like 1400 years ago.
you could say jewish people were here 3000 years ago but that’s like saying europeans have the right to africa’s land because humans were there 20,000 years ago!! at some point you went too far back and who was or wasn’t there doesn’t matter anymore.
especially when the religion you’re trying to discredit haven’t branched from your religion yet so they’re part of the “jewish people” you’re referring to!!

The land of Israel has been populated by the Jewish people since 2000 BCE. Here's the timeline, in case you didn't realize that it is their homeland.
1900 BCE:
- Abraham chosen by G-d as the Father of the Jewish Nation.
1900 BCE:
- Isaac, Abraham's son, rules over Israel.
1850 BCE:
- Jacob, son of Issac, rules over Israel.
1400 BCE:
- Moses leads the people out of Egypt and back to Israel.
1010 BCE:
- King David unites the 12 tribes into one nation.
970 BCE:
- King Solomon, son of David, builds the first temple structure in Jerusalem
930 BCE:
- Israel is divided into two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah.
722 BCE:
- Kingdom of Israel is conquered by Assyrians.
605 BCE:
- Kingdom of Judah is conquered by the Babylonians.
586 BCE:
- Solomon's Temple is destroyed by the Babylonians.
539 BCE:
- Persians conquer the Babylonians and take control of Israel.
538 BCE:
- The Jews return to Israel from exile.
520 BCE:
- The Temple is rebuilt.
432 BCE:
- The last group of Jews return from exile.
333 BCE:
- The Greeks conquer the Persian empire.
323 BCE:
- The Egyptian and Syrian empires take over Israel.
167 BC:
- Hasmoneans recapture Israel, and the Jews rule independently.
70 BCE:
- Romans conquer Israel.
70 CE:
- Romans destroy the temple.
After that, the Jewish people were captives to the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Crusaders. Through all of these events, the Jewish people continued to live in Israel. There were more or fewer of them, depending on the centuries, but there was never a time when the Jews didn't live in the land.
They stayed, they built their communities, they raised their families, practiced their faith and they suffered at the hands of many outside rulers, but they always kept their faith. It is what sustains them, even now.
May 1948 CE:
- the UN established the State of Israel, the sovereign nation of the Jews.
Don't buy the Palestinian lies that they are entitled to the land. It simply is not true. HaShem will also provide a way for his chosen people to live in Israel, as He has for thousands of years.

watching a history video and this guy said that the name "Jew" came about during the Babylonian exile, after the kingdom of Judah. I had previously assumed that it came from "Judea" as in the Roman province. Very cool stuff.

Pharaoh Taharqa happens to be another case of the early intersections of Jewish and Black history:
Ironically posterity would make Taharqa one of many cases of a Pharaoh whose reign wound up caught up in the discussions of Biblical historicity, in the proof of the existence of King Hezekiah of Judah/Yehudah/Yahud, fighting against both Sennacherib, who besieged Judah and helping to relieve the Israelite Kingdom, and then getting driven back into Kush by Sennecharib's successor as Emperor of Assyria, Esarhaddon.
Taharqa would have seen this as one of many battles and campaigns in a long career that brought the Kushite dynasty to its furthest reaches, Hezekiah and his Edomite counterpart as tribute-paying subordinates to him after he liberated them, and his career as predominantly directed against Assyria much as the most powerful Pharaohs fought the Hittites and the Mitanni.
Taharqa also makes the same point that would recur in other points, that rulers of Africa did have the power to push into Asia and Europe where geography permitted. It was not just the Amazigh or the Khemetic peoples who did this, where it was possible, the rulers of Black Africa did so and did so unapologetically like everyone else did.
Unfortunately geography meant that it was much harder to push up north against the weight of world states like Assyria, Rome, or the original Caliphates (not so much against the fragmented successors or the smaller state orders that were much more vulnerable).

Our entire Old Testament is a story, not just about the Jewish people but their land – the Land of Milk and Honey. From the earliest chapters in Genesis to the fiery culmination in Revelations – the story is centered in Israel. It’s a tale about the land God gave to the Israelites, his people, who serve as foundation stones in the history of mankind.

The Assyrians Invade Judah
1 During Hezekiah’s fourteenth year as king, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the strong, walled cities of Judah and captured them. 2 The king of Assyria sent out his field commander with a large army from Lachish to King Hezekiah in Jerusalem. When the commander came near the waterway from the upper pool on the road where people do their laundry, he stopped. 3 Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah went out to meet him. Eliakim son of Hilkiah was the palace manager, Shebna was the royal secretary, and Joah son of Asaph was the recorder.
4 The field commander said to them, “Tell Hezekiah this:
“‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says: What can you trust in now? 5 You say you have battle plans and power for war, but your words mean nothing. Whom are you trusting for help so that you turn against me? 6 Look, you are depending on Egypt to help you, but Egypt is like a splintered walking stick. If you lean on it for help, it will stab your hand and hurt you. The king of Egypt will hurt all those who depend on him. 7 You might say, “We are depending on the Lord our God,” but Hezekiah destroyed the Lord’s altars and the places of worship. Hezekiah told Judah and Jerusalem, “You must worship only at this one altar.”
8 “‘Now make an agreement with my master, the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses if you can find enough men to ride them. 9 You cannot defeat one of my master’s least important officers, so why do you depend on Egypt to give you chariots and horsemen? 10 I have not come to attack and destroy this country without an order from the Lord. The Lord himself told me to come to this country and destroy it.’”
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the field commander, “Please speak to us in the Aramaic language. We understand it. Don’t speak to us in Hebrew, because the people on the city wall can hear you.”
12 But the commander said, “My master did not send me to tell these things only to you and your king. He sent me to speak also to those people sitting on the wall who will have to eat their own dung and drink their own urine like you.”
13 Then the commander stood and shouted loudly in the Hebrew language, “Listen to what the great king, the king of Assyria says, 14 The king says you should not let Hezekiah fool you, because he can’t save you. 15 Don’t let Hezekiah talk you into trusting the Lord by saying, ‘The Lord will surely save us. This city won’t be handed over to the king of Assyria.’
16 “Don’t listen to Hezekiah. The king of Assyria says, ‘Make peace with me, and come out of the city to me. Then everyone will be free to eat the fruit from his own grapevine and fig tree and to drink water from his own well. 17 After that I will come and take you to a land like your own—a land with grain and new wine, bread and vineyards.’
18 “Don’t let Hezekiah fool you, saying, ‘The Lord will save us.’ Has a god of any other nation saved his people from the power of the king of Assyria? 19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? They did not save Samaria from my power. 20 Not one of all the gods of these countries has saved his people from me. Neither can the Lord save Jerusalem from my power.”
21 The people were silent. They didn’t answer the commander at all, because King Hezekiah had ordered, “Don’t answer him.”
22 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah tore their clothes to show how upset they were. (Eliakim son of Hilkiah was the palace manager, Shebna was the royal secretary, and Joah son of Asaph was the recorder.) The three men went to Hezekiah and told him what the field commander had said. — Isaiah 36 | New Century Version (NCV) The Holy Bible, New Century Version®. Copyright © 2005 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.

The Lord’s Judgment on Ahaziah
1 After Ahab’s death, Moab rebelled against Israel. 
2 Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go and consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, to see if I will recover from this injury.”
3 But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’ 
4 Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘You will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!’” So Elijah went.
5 When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you come back?”
6 “A man came to meet us,” they replied. “And he said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!”’”
7 The king asked them, “What kind of man was it who came to meet you and told you this?”
8 They replied, “He had a garment of hair and had a leather belt around his waist.”
The king said, “That was Elijah the Tishbite.”
9 Then he sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. The captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king says, ‘Come down!’”
10 Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then fire fell from heaven and consumed the captain and his men.
11 At this the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. The captain said to him, “Man of God, this is what the king says, ‘Come down at once!’”
12 “If I am a man of God,” Elijah replied, “may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then the fire of God fell from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
13 So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. This third captain went up and fell on his knees before Elijah. “Man of God,” he begged, “please have respect for my life and the lives of these fifty men, your servants!
14 See, fire has fallen from heaven and consumed the first two captains and all their men. But now have respect for my life!”
15 The angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
16 He told the king, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!”
17 So he died, according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken. Because Ahaziah had no son, Joram succeeded him as king in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah.
2 Kings 1:1-16 (NIV)
