O Tanach documenta ser Israel (Jacob) filho de Isaac e neto de Abraão e Sara, não palestiniano, pois não nasceu lá e sim em Gerar, nem é filho de pais palestinianos, pois Isaac e Rebeca não nasceram na Palestina.
Abraão e Sara nasceram em Ur na Caldéia (Génesis 12:5), actualmente território iraquiano, e quando, Sara, a esposa de Abraão, avó de Israel morreu, Abraão não possuía na Palestina sequer quatro metros quadrados para sepultar Sara (Génesis 23:4), e ele próprio se diz: "Sou estrangeiro."
Já Isaac nasceu em Gerar e Rebeca em território da Caldéia (Génesis 24:15). O próprio Israel (Jacob) não nasceu na Palestina, e sim em Padã-Harã, actualmente o território na fronteira entre a Turquia e a Síria (Génesis 28:2).
Yisrael (ou Yacob) foi para o Egipto e levou toda a família dele, pois lá se encontrava José, o filho predileto. Israel morreu no Egito. Depois de 430 anos é que os descendentes de Jacob retornaram à Palestina (Êxodo, 12:40), portanto, durante 430 anos não viveu
um israelita sequer na Palestina, a qual abrigava as tribos árabes: os cananeus,
os perezeus, os heteus, os pereseus, os haveus, os guirgaseus, os amorreus, os
jabuseus etc... (Josué 3:10).I
Mas quem são os judeus? Seriam assim chamados como designação religiosa, étnica ou geográfica ? A Bíblia diz que o quarto filho de Israel (Jacob) chamou-se Judá, daí a derivação Judéia (como região territorial).
Mas Judá não nasceu na Palestina (Génesis 31:34) e viveu e morreu no Egipto. Já Moisés, o profeta da religião que hoje chama-se judaísmo (hoje, devido à arqueologia, sabe-se bem o porquê: "Excavators of Tell es-Safi/Gath, one of Israel’s largest archeological sites, resume work this week in search of further remnants of a Philistine temple believed to have been toppled by an earthquake in 8th century BCE – an event familiar to millions the world over through the biblical story of Samson.
The temple was discovered a year ago by a team led by Prof. Aren Maeir of Bar-Ilan’s University’s Department of Land of Israel Studies and Archaeology. Dating back to the Iron Age (10th century BCE), it features two central pillars in accordance with the image described in the story of Samson in the Book of Judges: “He pulled the two pillars together, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it.”
The team has also uncovered collapsed walls that appear to date from an earthquake in the 8th century BCE – an event that could be identical to the earthquake prophesized by the prophet Amos.
