They say several hundred years since a whale like this has been seen near Israel ? does that mean that they had records of whales being in that area 700-800 years ago ?

I bet the whale did a big sneak through the Panama Canal when no one was looking!

"does that mean that they had records of whales being in that area 700-800 years ago ?' No, I'm pretty sure it just means that there are records - ship's whaling logs, probably - going back to the late 17th century that noted gray whale sightings/killings in the Atlantic.
This isn't the first sighting off Israel in 300ish years, it's the first sighting anywhere in the Atlantic, to include the Mediterranean which of course is only accessible to whales from the Atlantic.

Couldn’t be Jonah. The Bible says Jonah was swallowed by a fish. (The Hebrew word means fish.)

Right. He “lost his way”. Must be a Democrat whale.

Wonder if the whale will make it through the Suez? If it does, then those damn Somali pirates will probably make whale burgers out of it before it can make it to the Indian ocean.
