Thank you for your encouraging news and interesting views. I have a book written by Ben-Gurion titled “Why the Jews founded a state”. I soon stopped reading it as he exaggerated the role of the Jewish people in the history of the world. He wrote the Jews gave one of the greatest books; the Bible to the world. In fact Jesus created a new religion rejecting the superstitious constraints of the Judaism. That is why the Jewish leaders hated him and pushed the Roman governor to crucify Jesus. And that was one of the causes why the Jewish people were persecuted in the world through histories. Forget about the Jews, Palestines, Arabs or any other ethnic differences. Above all we are all human beings, nothing more, nothing less. The Old Testament tells all human beings share common ancestors; Adam and Eve. The Old Testament tells the Palestine people were the indigenous people of Palestine who had lived in the land before the Jewish people. The Old Testament also tells the founders of the Jewish people, Abraham and Sara originally came from Ur which is in Iraq today with their original names Abram and Sarai. It also tells when Sara died Abraham bought a piece of land to bury her from a man who was a Hittite. The ancient Orient including Palestine and Israel was a very inter-racial world. That is why the first civilizations of mankind rose in the area. Again I want to emphasize that we should live as human beings and the law of Humanism should precede any other legal or religious laws.
