A serious question. When were the jews forcibly expelled from their own land in the last 1000 years?

Question

Serious academic answers only, please. And please provide serioius resources for me to study. Can you give me factual information that proves Israel's claim to this land?

Answer 1

Jews never had their own land in the last 1000 years. They lost their land when Roman Empire expanded.

Answer 2

In the last thousand years Hitler did a number on them in parts of Europe. It seems to me the Jews evaporated from the Holy lands as Christianity took hold in the Middle East. During the first thousand years of Christianity Jews and Muslims started moving around, some across North Africa others up into Europe. In that first thousand years many atrocities were committed against the Hebrews and Muslims in the name of Christ.

I hope the below referance can help also.

Answer 3

Go read wikipedia.org
The Jews became a nation when they purchased the land they now live on. If you bought a house would you allow the previous owner to live in your basement?
Even if they held you a bay with a bomb?
"Under foreign conquests, Jewish presence in the province dwindled due to mass expulsions. In particular, the failure of the Bar Kochba Revolt against the Roman Empire resulted in widescale expulsion of Jews. During this time that the Romans gave the name Syria Palaestina to the geographic area, in an attempt to erase Jewish ties to the land. The Mishnah and Jerusalem Talmud, two of Judaism's most important religious texts, were composed in the region during this period."

Answer 4

Nobody anywhere has any inherent right to any land so any discussion along these line is pointless. If you go back in time far enough, you find common ancestors that all ethnic groups evolved from. So, the only two valid arguments are that land belongs to nobody or it belongs to everyone which is really saying the same thing.

Now for reality. You only own land that you can take and defend from all invaders or land that is given to you by a stronger entity capable of defending it for you. That's it.

Any arguments about who was here first, etc are totally absurd since, as I pointed out earlier, we all evolved from common ancestors and, if you go back far enough, we all have claim to everything.

Answer 5

Frankly they weren't. One reason is that they haven't HAD a land to be forced out of in the past 1,000 years.

What did happen during this time is that Jews were "encouraged" to leave wherever they were. There were the pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe. Hitler's program to eliminate the Jews was preceeded by a mass pre-WWII exodus from central Europe to other countries, including the US and Palestine. In this country one of the KKK's efforts was to root out Jews in the US (as well as blacks and Catholics).

If you're not welcome at your neighbors house you can always go home, but when you're not welcome at your own house, well, that's a problem! The Jews did not had a home until 1948. And let's just say the neighbors have not been rolling out the welcome wagon and the old tenents are still pretty ticked off.

Answer 6

When did the Jews come to Palestine?
The Israelite invasion of Canaan around 1200 BC, following the Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, is the traditional account.

The earliest mention of Israel outside the Bible, and the only mention of Israel in Egyptian records discovered so far, is a line of the Merneptah Stela (also spelled Merenptah). The stela, discovered in 1896 in Merneptah's mortuary temple in Thebes, is a poetic eulogy to pharaoh Merneptah, who ruled Egypt after Rameses the Great, in the last decades of the 13th Century B.C. Of significance to Biblical studies is a short section at the end of the poem describing a campaign to Canaan by Merneptah in the first few years of his reign, approximately 1210 BC. One line mentions Israel:

Israel is laid waste, its seed is not.

Answer 7

Well, I guess the most historical, direct book you could read is the bible. Seems to me I recall something about God, through Moses, leading the Jews out of Eygpt into their new Holy Land.

Something like that anyway, I remember it from my old days before I became an atheist.

Answer 8

Heh. Fancy work on your question there. The fact is, they weren't expelled in the last 1000 years. They were expelled long before that. Check any history book, and stop pretending to be "serious" and "academic."

Answer 9

There a alot of websites you kind find that answer to.
Schindler's List is a good movie.
The Diary of Anne Frank is good.
Go to a Jewish nursing home and look at the residents arms, those numbers scream at you.

Try the Bible. And find a timeline for Jewish tragedies after the Holocaust.

Answer 10

Well, they were forcibly moved from any and all land and property they owned in Germany, Austria, Italy, Poland and all other German-occupied countries during WWII.
