'That God promised the land to Jews no matter what would happen to its Arab inhabitants who was there long before Joshua and his army crossed River Jordan to destroy Jericho and kill every man, woman, child and animal by “God’s command.”'

the people that lived in the area before the exodus (which probably did not actually happen) would not be described using the word 'arab'. this is one of those debates that just needs to go away. it's really irresponsible for people to continue to cycle this bullshit around.....
