the "history book" bit is dumb though since Jewish response to criticism of them ethnically cleansing Palestine was to say "ummm there was no Palestine!" A position so ahistorical and preposterous many fellow jews have repeatedly demolished it.
Not to mention the bizarre evangelical Christian support of Israel, despite Christians holding the holy land more recently (pre Balfour), the new testament replacing the old covenant with the jews, as well as ignoring 2000 years of church dogma that jews are Christ killers who need to repent and accept Jesus to be saved.
