      That’s a very ignorant take on history, attempting to disconnect modern day Israel from the Israelites of which also comes Judaism from Israel’s son, Judah and that tribe. Though, this has nothing to do with the religion specifically beyond its ideological influence of history, so not sure why you felt the need to make that statement anyway.

      You never thought as to why the modern state of Israel came to exist as it does? Restoration of 900 BC Israel? Which was parallel with the Kingdom of Judah at the time. It was only later Israel would fall to the Assyrians. Then Judah to the Babylonians. The Canaanites at this point were way gone, so the Israelites and the tribes were without homeland.

      Then the Romans, then the English, blah, blah, blah. Suddenly it’s the 1940s, England’s administrative mandate of Palestine—as the British empire just did with little regions all over the world—is coming to an end so they put the proposal to the UN. Apart from this, it had nothing to do with America. The proposal itself had already been cooking for 30 years prior and the British were happy to execute it with UN agreeance.

      Your last statement is just entirely wrong, but it sounds catchy to anyone that’s never looked at the basic history.
