The main weakness behind all Danny Wakil’s arguments is his assumption that modern Jews have an inalienable right to occupy the area that was once biblical Israel. This argument is only valid if you choose to ignore two or three thousand years of subsequent history and the number of people who have occupied the land since biblical times.
His challenge to cite an historical definition of Palestine is invalid for the same reason and because ancient political systems are not comparable with modern ones.
Zionism itself was only created by Theodore Herzl in the 19th century. Jewish claims are based on passages from the Old Testament, which is a series of unverifiable myths, not history, and even the Jews’ unreliable history says that the Jews stole the land from the Caananites in the first place!
