Only yesterday I read about this episode in Jewish history in Simon Dubnow's History of the Jews. Of course in that book one reads more of the trials and tribulations of the Jewish community under the yoke of Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Muslim rulers. The oppression varies over time, but it is no surprise that the world encompassing those geographical areas and the descendants of those cultures are today so viciously anti-Israel. They've had hundreds if not thousands of years of practice.
Really interesting! People don’t know anything about history and this is the main reason why it's so easy to spread the lie that the only indigenous people of Eretz Yisrael, the Jewish people, are colonizers of their own land. Not to mention the narrative of the Jew with trembling knees that we like so much in Europe and we believed could last forever without taking into account Zionism.
We need to bring back exile to the Castle of Oblivion as an option.
