The only people having a problem with it are the usual suspects.

Israel was founded in what has been considered the Jewish homeland for thousands of years.

And Christianity has had a profound influence on US history. Teaching that is only going to bother people who people on the left who rage at the slightest mention of Christianity.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

I think it's great. It's the truth.

yes. We should teach children the truth. This is the truth. Now if we can just add reference to the Palestinian "colonizers", we'd have a huge win.

Great idea!

Also have the textbooks include the photo of the Grand Mufti of Palestine meeting with Hitler.

As long as both are taught in a historical context, I have no problem with it.

Facts like this should be taught.

We should have classes on the history of Islam and how it spread. Specifically mentioning their prophet was a rapist murdering pedophile.

We should have classes dedicated to the horrors of communism as well.

Exactly.

We should start teaching kids how Muslims enslaved millions of white and black people and Marxism killed hundreds of millions of all kinds of people.

Its ****ing criminal that those two factoids are mysteriously missing from our core curriculum. The left would never win a major election again.

The ancestral territories of the Canaanites would constitute an accurate characterization, given that the Jewish people were themselves Canaanites.

We should not pull a liberal "ancestral lands" platitude.

Why would there be an issue for teaching truth?

Even the non-Christian finding fathers recognized the importance of the underlying principles of Christianity to the fabric of the nation.

Non-Christians today, specially atheists cannot coexist side by side with Christians. Somehow the thought of someone believing in something they do not invokes a wildly vitriolic and almost violent response.

The next line should have been,

'And their own prophet Joshua said all the land promises given to Israel have been fulfilled. If they didn't take their land they were given by God thats on them. Israel today is not the Israel of the Bible, the church is the continuation of Israel. The descendants of the Pharisees have cut themselves off from God. Dispensationalism is a crock.'

There I fixed it.

Who deeded them the land?

Spanish Land grant?
Took it from Mexico as a spoil of war?
Purchased it from Russia or France?

Historical reality: The Kingdom of David existed for roughly a century, while the kingdoms of Israel and Judah lasted about two centuries. By comparison, Muslim rule in Palestine continued for more than 1,200 years.

Moreover, the Torah itself describes Abraham as a foreigner in the land of Canaan, which challenges the claim that Canaan was originally the homeland of the Jewish people.

God's covenant was made with the ancient Israelites, an ethnic and religious community that, according to the Torah, repeatedly violated that covenant through polytheism and the worship of other gods. The promise was not directed toward all modern Jews, whose ethnic and genetic backgrounds are diverse and not similar to those of the ancient Israelites.

You talking about those 12000 years as if they were a continuous Muslim rule when reality is at least 7 different occupiers of the land during those 1200 years of varying levels of Islamic commitment.

During that time many Jewish communities remained.

The REASON the Jewish people were granted a homeland in 1948 was in response to the centuries of oppression and genocide enacted upon them by various communities throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

BTW - Muslims were also granted various homelands in the surrounding area following British, French and other colonial rule.

Regarding Abraham being a foreigner, that would cover the Muslims as well so they can make no claim to it being their homeland more than Israel.

The actual TRUTH is that if the Muslims would behave as modern civilized folks they could continue to share the holy sites. Instead radical Muslims are allowed to persist and perpetrate their violent torment and hatred of the Jewish people.

The line of David existed almost 500 years before the exile. The Isrealites have been in the region since at least 1207 BC, if not earlier.

Modern Jews are descendants of the diaspora, Goebels.

Also the Samaritans, who never left, are also OG Israelites. The Palestinians, tbf, are too, they are just the Muslim turncoats.

Eitherway, after 2 millenia of persecution and 6 million of them being loaded into ovens, the most powerful country on earth decided they should get their land back.

There is zero chance we reverse course on that.

Muslims did not rule. Arabs, Syrians, Egyptians and Ottomans (among others) ruled the Levant.
DNA and linguist studies has established that the Hebrews/Jews were Canaanites.
