 <title>historic justification, </title>

 <description>How can it be that there so often be referred to a time 2000 years ago as a justification for the location of the jewish state of israel? If we are in the business of making such irrelevant leaps in time i say why stop at 2000 years? why not jump back to around 1500 bc to when the judaists moved into the region and slaughtered the resident canaan population? The notion that the jewish people where always in the area until they were chased out is simply not true. If the canaan (purple people)still existed would that make them the rightful owners of the area in question seeing as there civilization inhabited the area 3500 years ago?
