After that, the people were captives of the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Crusaders. Through all of these events, the Jewish people continued to live in Israel.
There were more or less of them, depending on the centuries, but there was never a time when the Jews didn't live in the land.
They stayed, they built their communities, they raised their families.
In 1948, the UN established the State of Israel, the nation of Jews. Don't buy the Palestinian lies that they are entitled to the land.
It simply is not true.
