I've seen & heard this a few times, that Zionists will justify their claim of ownership to Palestinian lands by pointing at the Bible for evidence that they were the original inhabitants of that land. They don't consider it the West Bank, they call it Judea and Samaria (as seen on The Setters documentary). I haven't read the bible and tbh don't know that history very well of which people lived where but I'm sure the history is not as simple as this. Anyone have any good reads or insights into this history?

Excellent distinction about homeland vs promised land

Since they pull direct lineage from Abraham for the 12 tribes their homeland would actually be Ur, I imagine this is part of how they get Iraq in the 'Greater Israel' idea
