You forgot the part where the komodo dragon’s “promised land” was full of Phoenician Canaanites they had to genocide first.
The same Canaanites from Noah’s son because after everyone was killed by a flood, God deemed Canaan’s blood the good people worth saving?
He sure seemed to fuck it up and have to wipe out humans quite a few times. But that’s what you get for putting a tree in Eden for no other reason but to introduce sin to the innocent and trick humans into thinking Lucifer was the evil one.
And now he loves America. Just don’t tell the Italians.
Starting to see a pattern of bad outcomes for whoever makes a deal with this guy at the time…
Imagine Mongolia just started invading China and be like “MY ANCESTORS USED TO LIVE HERE”
Imagine the Australians descending on London like “Oh yea nah me bluddy rellys is fully from here aye!”
I would support that. After that Australia can join the EU, and they’re already in Eurovision.
The irony would be even greater if they were kicking out birds who they accused of displacing the ancient Dinosaurs.
Birds: Um, akshully, we’re more closely related than you are!
The problem is that this argument can really be made both ways. If someone said Israel shouldn’t exist because Palestinians used to live there before that, that’s just essentially the same argument.
But saying that Israel shouldn’t exist doesn’t mean that the Israelis have to leave
Okay hold on but what about the original Canaanites? Isn’t it their land?
Neither argument hold any merit and is an example of the tyranny of history. Who cares what a bunch of dead assholes thought was theirs? The people who live there (not the politicians who pretend to represent their interests) are the only people that have any legitimate claim to authority on what should be done about the region.
It is especially meritless to equate people who claim the land based on other people sharing their religion having lived there a thousand years ago, with people whose grandparents got kicked out of their houses and who’ve had to live in an open air prison ever since while being subjected to regular attempts at ethnic cleansing.
