“The first ever mention of an ancient land called Israel was by an Egyptian Pharaoh, Merneptah, 3429 years ago,” reads a meme that has made the rounds on Facebook. “The first ever mention of an ancient land called Palestine was by an Egyptian opportunist, Yasser Arafat, 57 years ago.”
I’ve already commented but sorry I got to say
Literally the Do you have a flag argument.
Doubly insane when the first mention of what’s thought to be the Palestinians was by Ramesses III, 3199 years ago.
It’s as if “first” has become a legitimate argument for existence
The entire United States has some problems if “was there thousands of years ago” indicates who should be allowed to control and oppress people now.
