The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel

It is a little confusing that the Jewish people speak Hebrew and lay claim to the land of Israel. You would expect them to speak Judaish and claim Judea. But that’s just the way we used to roll, back in the olden days, before Christ and the Roman Empire.

When Jordan demands the return of Dead Sea scrolls seized by Israel, it bases its claim on the 1954 Hague convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. But they are wrong because the Dead Sea scrolls are the earliest known surviving copies of the bible and they were written (partly) in Hebrew, not  Arabic.

Jordan, an Arab and Muslim country does not have claim to the earliest copy of the bible. The Jewish people have that claim. It is our holy book. It was written in Hebrew, our language and was found in Judea, part of the land of Israel.

When Jesus gave the sermon at the temple, it wasn't a random temple. It was the temple of the Jews. Jesus himself was Jewish and the original form of his name was Yeshua.

The Jewish people did not originate in Europe, but in Israel. We are not colonists. Other people may have a claim to it, but so do we.
