Romans kicked them out 2,000 years ago. Their return is a recent thing.
Agreed...
I will have to admit to being somewhat curious though. For instance, weren’t there Jews living in Israel prior to 1948? I actually mean to address the 1800s to early 1900s.
Most folks think the Jews only returned post WWII, but it’s my take that was when Israel was finally re-instituted. I suspect there were plenty of Jews there prior to that.
Course I could be wrong, but this is what I have suspected.
