If we agree that

    1) The Jews are kicked out of Palestine by the Babylonians in the Diaspora

then wouldn't it be mixing metaphors to say that the Palestinians are the Native Arabians? Wouldn't the Jews be the natives to the area?

edit: And I apologize for the ambiguity of my last question, I was writing from an old phone but now have the time and means to write more clearly. My question was "what are these plague blankets" in response to

    and eventually the plague blankets will catch up with them.

I meant to ask what you mean by that metaphor. But I understand it as the Palestinians are, tragically but factually, as helpless to Israeli claims on the land as Native Americans are to westward expansion.

further edit: Thanks for the book recommendation, I will definitely look into it as I have hopes of one day visiting Iran.
