At a time when America, regardless of the perceived validity of its actions for security or whatever, is using all sorts of pressure tactics to acquire territory it has absolutely no ancestral or historical connections to in Greenland; and having also done likewise in faraway places earlier in locations such as Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Samoa. Guam, and other lands as well, it seems a bit unreal that some of our leaders (and hypocrites elsewhere as well) “take offense” at the idea that Jews, with about four thousand years of highly corroborated evidence of ancestral connections to the land of Israel, Judaea, and Samaria state the obvious: that they are indeed entitled to sovereignty in at least some of the lands where their ancestors lived, prophesied, ruled, and fought one imperial invader after another for their freedom and independence.
Not to mention VP Vance’s utter ignorance of the normally hostile UN’s own actions after the June 1967 War.
Vance also likes to preach to Jews about their faith as well…
UNSC Resolution 242 gave Israel a necessary territorial compromise over the lands it acquired as a result of turning the tables on the latest combined Arab attempt to eradicate it which began with an Egyptian naval blockade at the Straits of Tiran and Gulf of Aqaba—a casus belli. This was also accompanied by the Jordanian artillery shelling of Jerusalem, despite pleas from Israel to Jordan to stay away from the fighting.
Something had to be done to improve upon Israel’s 9-15 mile wide existence caused by the drawing of Auschwitz/armistice lines in 1949.
VP JD Vance and President Trump himself have been the worse offenders regarding this issue. The perpetually hostile to Israel State Department isn’t even taken into consideration here since it opposes Israel’s very rebirth in the first place.

For just a small bit of history, Abraham purchased land in Hebron about four millennia ago for tombs for most of the Jewish People’s Patriarchs and Matriarchs.
About a thousand years later, the Prophet Samuel anointed a young shepherd, David, born in Bethlehem of Judah/Judaea in Hebron as well. Another important Judaean leader, Yehoshua/Jesus of Nazareth, was born in the same town of Bethlehem a thousand years later.
Earlier, Abraham’s son, Jacob, wrestled with an Angel of G_d in a dream to become his better moral self in order to make peace with his brother, Esau, from whom he took the birthright delivered by Isaac from.
He emerged with his new name, as a result, at Penuel east of Judah across the River Jordan.
David’s son, King Solomon, built the first Temple in Jerusalem, on a site David purchased from Jebusite Canaanites over three thousand years ago in Judah/Judea, and the first war ever fought for religious freedom ignited in Mod’in in Judah when the renowned Hasmonean family of Judaean warriors revolted against pagan Greeks and Syrians who tried to impose their ways upon their Judaean subjects.
Judah the Maccabee (“hammer”) led the fight along with his brothers.
Several centuries later, another even more powerful pagan imperial power, Rome, would arrive into the ancestral homeland of the Jewish People, and the latter rose up in revolt at least four major times try to regain their freedom and independence.
The fortress of Masada was constructed on a high hill in the Judaean Desert overlooking the Dead Sea. It served as one of the last holdouts during the first major revolt in 66-73 C.E.

to see an Iudaea (Judaea) Capta Roman coin of conquest.
JEWS fought and died for these things, Vice President Vance—not foreign imperial invading Arabs in the 7th century C.E., to be the latest on a long list of aliens to steal historical Judaen lands.
They came as SETTLERS and COLONIZERS
of the four millennia old Jewish ancestral
homeland.
Before moving on to the musical aspect of this analysis, this last link for this part

Scrolling through various internet You Tube and other sites to check on what’s happening in Iran regarding the current mostly unarmed insurrection against oppressive, murderous Arabized and Islamistized mullahs, who do not even identify with Iran’s proud ancient heritage, by chance a You Tube of the legendary Rastifarian singer Bob Marley’s son, Ziggy, popped up…

Here’s Ziggy’s Dad’s rendition of, the soulful song about the Jews’s multi- millennial connection to their ancestral homeland, “By The Rivers Of Babylon”—itself more corroboration of the Jewish People’s eternal ties to the land.
Ethiopia’s late King Haile Salessie is regarded as a very special messianic type leader by the West Indies and Jamaican Rastafarians.
He regarded himself as the descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of South Arabia’s Saaba, or Sheba, had great relations with Israel, and called himself “the Lion of Judah.”
Saaba had come to rule Ethiopia in ancient times, and Selassie had, like numerous other descendants of this royal union, become Christian after Ethiopia was largely converted centuries ago.
A lavish, moving classic movie starring Yul Brynner and Gina Lollabrigida is now streaming based upon the story in Kings I and Chronicle 2 in the Hebrew Bible, “Solomon and Sheba.”
Hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian Jews, many who have now made aliyah (rose up)by immigrating to Israel, believe themselves to be descendants of this union of Solomon and Sheba.
There was a period just prior to the dawn of the Arab Islamic conquest where an independent Jewish kingdom of Himyar ruled in Southern Arabia and came to rule Ethiopia as well.
One of its kings, who knew of Christianity’s persecution of Jews elsewhere, especially the Byzantine forced conversions of Judaeans after they succeeded the earlier Roman Empire’s own oppression, and evidently decided to provide his own “pay back” for this against Christians in Ethiopia.
This backfired and led to the end of that earlier Jewish kingdom in southern Arabia.

Returning to music, here’s Daina Browning’s beautiful rendition as well:

And the Hebrew Bible’s verses from which the song derives…
The Ancient Hebrew Psalmist and Prophets’s offerings have no counterparts among any other people claiming rights over the land of Israel/Judah/Judaea/“Syria Palaestina” (the name the Roman Emperor Hadrian bestowed on the ancestral land of the Iudaeans/Judaeans/Jews after their 2nd of 4 major revolts, clear up to the 7th century C.E., just decades before massive swarms of settling, colonizing, jihadi Arab hordes arrived from a fast desiccating Arabian Peninsula, stealing other native indigenous peoples’s own ancestral lands and claiming them solely for themselves and the ever expanding Dar ul-Islam and part of “purely Arab patrimony.”
This 14 century Arab originating religious war—jihad—to spread their uncompromising supremacist faith has been the cause of Arab-Judaean, Arab-Amazigh/“Berber,” Arab-Kurd, Arab-Egyptian Copt, Arabized/Islamized Pakistani-Hindu Indian, Arabized Afghani and Buddhist, Arab-pre-Arab conquest, Semitic Phoenician descendant Lebanese, Arab-Druze and Assyrian & Chaldean Christian Arab and Arabized black African slaughter of non-Musllim blacks, and so forth.
In other words, the Arab-Israeli conflict is not “unique,” but merely exemplifies how the predominant Arab supremacist and conquering mindset reacts to anyone else claiming rights in their own ancestral homelands after those lands fell to invading alien, settling, and conquering imperial Arab hordes.
