  • What about the Nabeteans? The Nabeteans absorbed the Qederites and the Edomites (who made up Palestine south of Beersheba). They ruled till the Romans absorbed their kingdom late 1st century.

    Edit: Also, it seems that the Nabatean royal family and the Idumean royal families seem to be related more than just the marriage of Harold Antipas.

    Also, comtemparies of Jesus like Strabo thought the Idumeans were Nabeteans (the confusion makes sense when you reliaze all of the Canaanite Kingdoms (except Israel/Samaria) were absorbed by the Arabs by 400 BC.

    My point is I consider Kingdom of Nabeteans to be mostly consisting of people who’s kingdoms already existed in the region of Palestine (the extremely similar Qederites along with the Edomites and Judahites). But I admit this can be a stretch since no one knows xactly where the Nabeteans came from.

    I also have to find the article mentioning the Nabeteans absorbing the Edomites as too many sources suggest EVERY last Edomite moved to the area around Beersheba.




  • So what should US do? Calmly sit down and shout: “We are bad, please kill us.”

    Not build a country on land in use. If you can’t do that, at least leave them alone. Not a single West Bank city can develop anymore since it would just collide into the area near the settlements (which would lead to getting shot). At least leave them alone.

    Also, what you are essentially doing is picking a specific point of time in history, dubbing a it a root cause and then you excuse the other side’s actions.

    I’m not sure what you mean by this? Maybe you are confusing me with someone else?

    Rome for the conflict in the middle east because if Romans hadn’t forced out jews thousands years ago, this wouldn’t have happened.

    The Jews did come back already, a long time ago. Then they converted to Christianity and then to Islam: https://www.pbs.org/empires/romans/empire/jews.html

    So all Israel’s war crimes are actually Romans’ fault, so now let’s collectively blame them.

    This is technically anti-Semitic. Not all Jews are the same. Some are black, some are white, some are Middle Eastern.





  • If you don’t have human rights for a land’s native population; you are a country that infringes on human rights. It’s very simple. Plus, Palestine is a secular nation and it borders other secular nations like Lebanon (well at least the region of Palestine does). Unlike the country that believes in “old testament justice.”

    Even in Jordan, which is NOT a secular country, as long as you don’t display physical affection in public (which is frowned upon on all groups) you’ll be fine. I have even heard of white gay people moving to Amman because they said the people there mind their own business (I can’t find the link to this anymore).
