The Jews are the native people of Israel. They have been sent into exile numerous times, but have always retained a possession of this land, even if it was by a small number. They have returned to Israel numerous times and even as recent as 1948.
God has performed miracles with the Jews and both blessed them with his protection and also handed them over to enemies when they rejected him. I am sure it was not a spiteful thing, but rather the consequences of rejecting their protector.
Those who think the Jews stole the land are wrong. They are the native people of that land. Archeology testifies to this.
Jews originated from the Israelites and Hebrews of historical Israel and Judah, two related kingdoms that emerged in the Levant during the Iron Age.
