“Between 3000 and 1100 B.C., Canaanite civilization
covered what is today Israel, the West Bank, Lebanon and much of
Syria and Jordan...Those who remained in the Jerusalem
hills after the Romans expelled the Jews [in the second century
A.D.] were a potpourri: farmers and vineyard growers, pagans and
converts to Christianity, descendants of the Arabs, Persians,
Samaritans, Greeks and old Canaanite tribes.” Marcia Kunstel
and Joseph Albright, “Their Promised Land.”
“But all these [different peoples who had come to Canaan] were
additions, sprigs grafted onto the parent tree...And that parent
tree was Canaanite...[The Arab invaders of the 7th century A.D.]
made Moslem converts of the natives, settled down as residents, and
intermarried with them, with the result that all are now so
completely Arabized that we cannot tell where the Canaanites leave
off and the Arabs begin.” Illene Beatty, “Arab and Jew in the
Land of Canaan.”
“The extended kingdoms of David and Solomon, on which the
Zionists base their territorial demands, endured for only
about 73 years...Then it fell apart...[Even] if we allow
independence to the entire life of the ancient Jewish kingdoms,
from David’s conquest of Canaan in 1000 B.C. to the wiping out of
Judah in 586 B.C., we arrive at [only] a 414 year Jewish rule.”
Illene Beatty, “Arab and Jew in the Land of Canaan.”
“Recent archeological digs have provided evidence that
Jerusalem was a big and fortified city already in 1800
BCE...Findings show that the sophisticated water system
heretofor attributed to the conquering Israelites pre-dated them by
eight centuries and was even more sophisticated than
imagined...Dr. Ronny Reich, who directed the excavation
along with Eli Shuikrun, said the entire system was built as a
single complex by Canaanites in the Middle Bronze Period, around
1800 BCE.” The Jewish Bulletin, July 31st,
1998.
