Thread Name: BS: Who came first, the Arab or the Jew?
Subject: RE: BS: Who came first, the Arab or the Jew?
They Speak Arabic from Morocco to Iraq. Just as they speak from English from Vancouver to Miami. Native Americans speak English, Italian Americans speak English, Even C. Ham, who apparently lives in Toronto, speaks English. Does that mean they or their families all come from England? Of course not.

There is every reason to believe that the many of the current residents of Palestine are descended from the original inhabitants and their anscestors learned Arabic as the were converted to Islam. It is even likely that some are descended from Jews who converted.

The Palestinians are reportedly more closely related to the Jews than any other people. So if the Jews can claim that land by birthright, so can they. And then, of course, there is the inconvenience of the Palestinians having been there when the descendants of the Jews of Europe and America decided to return.
