Who the fuck cares about a claim from thousands of years ago? Can you even count how many Greta’s you would have to add to even reach your goat herder of a grandpa back when Jesus was still around?

This is just trying to revive a dead dream and we all get to suffer for it.

That's what drives me crazy about dated religions and ultra nationalism. We could have flying cars if people stopped with this shit

I don't really get the logic: is an older claim or a more recent claim to land "more valid"?

A recent claim is better. I care about the partitioning of the lands with the Sykes Picot Agreement, I don’t care about some inbred king of sandland did back in 147AD.

Wouldn't this mean that the millions of Israelis born in Israel over the last 80 years probably have the strongest claim to the land (at least the internationally recognized 1967 borders anyway)? 1916 is not particularly recent
