      Israel is a kingdom with it’s capital in Samaria. It fell 2700 years ago, give or take 50 years.

      We should totally use that fact to make millions of people miserable and commit mass rape for 75 years… - People who only use the Bible when it’s convenient for them.

      Edit: Also, want to know what happened to the Samaritans: They became the Arabic speaking population of Nablus (and other areas of northren Palestine).

      And most of the people in the area became Christians and later Muslims. Some stayed Jewish. And these are the Palestinian people inhabiting the land since thousands of years. They are the descendents of that biblical people.

      Now their distant relatives who have left come back and rob them of their land. But this is a new development. And for obvious reasons 2024+ years ago there was neither Muslims nor Christians who could have been in conflict with Jews.
