Regarding Edward Said : Responding to the question whether the Zionists have a god-given claim to the land of Palestine, Said makes it clear that, yes, Jews have a “claim” to the land of Palestine and therefore they have the right to live on this land. However, the Zionist claim isn’t the only claim to this land. “It’s a claim among many others,” He adds that the Arabs have a claim to the land of Palestine as well. In fact, they have a “much greater claim because they have a longer history of inhabitance, of actual residence in Palestine than the Jews did.” The overall Jewish actual inhabitance in Palestine throughout history, amounting to 200 to 260 years, is much less than the Arabs’ amounting to about 1192 years. The land of Palestine was inhabited/conquered by many other peoples throughout history including the Canaanites, the Assyrians, the Philistines, the Babylonians, the Israelites, the Archaemenids, the Seleucids etc., Therefore, Said concludes: […] to isolate one of [the claims] and say THAT’s the claim; that is the real owner of the land, that’s fundamentalism…But I don’t think that any claim whether it’s given by god or the emperor, nobody has the claim that overrides all the others’ and entitles that person with that so-called claim to drive people out." So tell me, why should Jews have a claim that is greater than any other claim? Especially when Palestinians had already been living on the land for countless generations prior to the zionist movement.
1. Factually wrong. Jews have continuously lived in Judea for thousands of years. Their indigineity further confirmed by both archeology and genetics. 2. A main tenant of defining indigenous people, is that they are tied to an area of land because that is where they became a people/culture. 'Palestine' did not exist in any meaningful way prior to the 1960s and the Palestinians are not culturally different than any other Arabs. They didn't become a people until they started defining themselves and their struggle that way in the 60s.
Said's claim is nothing more than imperialist gibberish. If imperialists run the show long enough, they can steal the birthright of the native peoples they conquer. My, such solidarity. Sit down.
If Zionist have said claim then they should all leave America and Europe immediately. Correct? Not saying their claim of the land is correct based on who lived where but am saying but your money where your mouth is and leave for good. ( In multiple senses of the word). Only that way end their claims of antisemitism.
It is not only the Jews who had indigeneity, had archeological traces, and genetic similarity to their ancestors. At that time, the Palestinians never experienced being isolated and blockaded in the West Bank and Gaza where they are deprived of water, food, mobility, and much needed health care. Whatever the Jews had was allocated by the colonizers. But they wanted more. Whenever there is famine or some other calamities, they leave Palestine. "And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: m Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation." (Genesis 17:20)
The United States should end military aid to Israel. 1. Military Aid to Israel is unnecessary. Israel is a very prosperous country and more than capable of paying for it's own military. 2.Military aid to Israel is a security risk to the United States. Israel has been selling American developed military technology to China for more than a decade. These sales have been instrumental in the modernization of China's military. 3.Military aid to Israel is a diplomatic liability, 4, Military aid to Israel is illegal under American law. Israel's human rights violations disqualifies Israel from receiving military aid under the Leahy law and Israel's having nuclear weapons while refusing to allow inspections or sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty makes aid to Israel illegal under the Symington amendment.

This has nothing to do with the subject matter. It does show that you have no interest in educating yourself through this series. Great job, Corey.
