Child Prodigy Ben Shapiro Exposes Anti-Israel Slanders (Item #2)
Ben Shapiro proves that “Israel is historically Jewish territory.” (at 0:40) He points to some Jewish presence in Palestine beginning in 1400 BC.
He then states that after 136 CE “there was continuous Jewish presence in the land.” Mr. Shapiro discreetly omits who else lived in that land during the past 2,000 years.
Consider the period when the modern Zionist movement first laid claim to Palestine in the late nineteenth century.
The standard scholarly work on Palestine’s historic demography is Justin McCarthy, "The Population of Palestine." McCarthy reports that Palestine’s population was roughly 450,000 in 1880, of which less than 5 percent (15,000) was Jewish.
It’s child’s play to prove that “Israel is historically Jewish territory”—if only Jews count.
