The Indo-European, ‘Palestinian,’ Collision with ancient Jews
The clash between Indo-Europeans (Palestinians) and ancient Jews were due to fundamental reasons in the different civilizations of the two peoples:
Culture of the Jewish People
1. The culture of the Jewish people is rich in its laws, customs and worship.
2. The culture of the Jewish people cannot be overlooked and ignored.
3. The culture of the Jewish people was the first important foundation upon which the world was built from its inspiration, laws and religious civilization. At the same time, it is the mother of the divine religions, which the majority of the peoples of the world embraced with the philosophy of the Christian religion and the Mohammadian faith many centuries afterwards.
4. The Jewish people were converted to the lowland of Canaan by God’s command.
5. The Jewish people are creative people and always occupy high positions because they are a people who sacrifice, develop and serve the hospitable country with loyalty and success.
6. The Jewish people do not like to rule the world through injustice and slavery, but they want for the people of the world prosperity, development and happy lives.
7. The Jewish people always love and support freedom and do not abandon their values, laws and worship of God, no matter how acute and dangerous the difficulties and challenges are.
8. The Jews do not like war. And if they went to war, they would defend the existence of their being, which is necessary for a healthy life.
9. The Jews want peace and to work with other peoples of all colours, religions, classes and cultures, away from racial discrimination, to carry out their works and pursue their peaceful path in developing life.
10. The Jews did not have the experience of war, equipment and weapons to fight the Palestinians in the lowland of Canaan. They were poor in engineering equipment and weapons for use in combat and warfare. They were strong in faith and the values of their spiritual community.
11. The Jewish people are a generous people who give and assist charitable, educational, industrial and artistic-cultural institutions and recognize the loyalty of others.
12. If it were not for the prophets and messengers of the Hebrews – Jews and their laws, there would be no world today that has reached a kind of sophistication and civilization.
13. The Hebrews – Jews, despite their vital and fundamental contribution to laying the foundation of religious civilization for world culture, are masters of cunning as recorded in their history, policy and defensive campaigns. They are the people who most use that natural feature that has been found in their lineage since ancient times. That is why they face confrontation and difficulty with some state leaders in their global affairs and positions. In the modern era, they have to change these ways and means, because the world has changed in science and peoples’ conviction, in matters of public and international relations.
14. The first migration of the Hebrews – Jews to the lowland of Canaan from the city of Ur took place under the leadership of Abraham around 1870 BC and they arrived in Canaan around 1864 BC.
The second migration, ‘Exodus,’ from Egypt was led by Moses and his assistants, around 1440 BC.
15. The presence of the Jewish people in the lowland of Canaan is older than that of the Indo-European people, Palestinians, in the region.
