The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Albaby, I’ll say that your argument about indigenous people fails on several points.

I'm not sure I understand your point. I'm not arguing that the Jews are the only people that are indigenous to the area. Just that they are an indigenous people to the area. I wasn't pushing back on the idea that others are indigenous to the area, but against the idea that Jews are not indigenous (or have less of a claim to that status) simply because there are also religious and mythological arguments that also get advanced in addition to the historical record. Because while I agree that those religious and mythological arguments are nonsense, they don't in any way affect the historicity of the Jewish presence in the region. Jewish claims to a homeland in the area don't depend on the Bible.

I agree with your formulation of the issue - I've always seen this as a "two peoples, one land" dilemma. I also believe that a two-state solution is appropriate.
