Did Israel Conquer Dublin?
WHOSE LAND IS IT?
Duration: 28.02 minutes.
The Holy Land was promised to the descendants of Abraham as long as long as they kept the rite of circumcision and the basic commandments. The Jews did this and therefore can claim the Land. The Lost Ten Tribes for the moment need to assist Judah in this. In the future the Lost Ten Tribes when they return may first be settled in areas that are part of the Promised Land but not in its center, e.g. parts of Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Sinai, eastern Egypt, etc.

Quora Query:
Did the ancestors of Ashkenazi Jews in Central Europe really live in the Middle East?

Other questions along the same lines included:
(a) Most Jews in Israel today are Ashkenazi who escaped Europe and Mizrahi who left Muslim lands. Why do people say the Jews were the before the Arabs since those particular Jews left long ago while the Arabs can trace back their genology to Palestine?
(b) Is it true that Palestine did not exist before the establishment of Israel? If so, why do Palestinians claim to have a long history in the region?
Time to relate to the elephant in the room, i.e. Judaism and who does the Land really belong to!
After the Flood the Earth was populated by descendants of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japhet. Shemites from Shem settled in the area later known as Canaan and after that as Israel.
This area of originally stretched from the Nile to the Euphrates Rivers.
In the time of Abraham Canaanites, descendants of Canaan son of Ham, were conquering the Land from the Shemites.
See Rashi on Genesis 12:6

Abraham was promised that the Land should to go his descendants. This was an eternal irrevocable promise but its actualization was conditioned on keeping circumcision (Genesis 17:10) and the basic laws (Genesis 15:8-10).
Other promises such as becoming a great and mighty nation, ruling over other peoples, and possessing the gates of his enemies, etc., were given unconditionally.

At that time the Torah had not been given but the basic principles were known.
Abraham had 2 sons Ishmael and Isaac but in the eyes of the Almighty Isaac was considered his ONLY son (Genesis 22:15). From, Ishmael came many of the Arabs.
The Promise to Abraham was passed onto his son Isaac. Isaac had 2 sons Esau and Jacob. Technically Esau was the firstborn but Jacob guided by his mother Rebecca (who was Divinely inspired, Genesis 25:23) showed Jacob how to cheat Esau out of the birthright.
Esau was destined to become a military conqueror and a formidable power in his own right (Genesis 27:40).
Leading elements among the Romans, Germans, Japanese, and others descended from Esau who is also known as "Edom."
To Israel were born 12 sons forefathers of the 12 Tribes of Israel.They went down into Egypt where they increased and multiplied.
The Egyptians enslaved and oppressed them but the Almighty sent Moses to bring them out. Moses led them through the Wilderness where they received the Torah.
In the Torah they were promised the Land forever but on condition that they keep the commandments. They were also commanded to conquer the Land and to expel the Canaanites (Numbers 33:55).
They came to the Land and conquered it but did not expel all its Canaanite inhabitants. Instead they intermixed with them (Joshua ch.17, and Judges ch. 1).
The first king was Saul from the Tribe of Benjamin. Then came David from the Tribe of Judah. He made Jerusalem the capital. His son Solomon built the Temple.
In the time of Rehoboam son of Solomon 10 out of the 12 Tribes seceded and created their own Kingdom known as "Israel," or as "Ephraim," or as "Samaria."
The Ten Tribes worshipped idols, were conquered by the Assyrians, and exiled. Eventually they settled in parts of Western Europe including the British Isles.
Later the remaining 2 Tribes known collectively as "Judah" were exiled to Babylon by the Babylonians but after 70 years a portion of them returned. Descendants of Judah became known as the Jews.
Meanwhile pagans from all over the Assyrian Empire had been settled in the northern part of the country and were referred to collectively as "Samaritans."
The Jews developed the Laws as they had been commanded to do. They also conquered some of the neighboring peoples and converted them.
Then came the Romans who destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple and expelled the Jews and began persecuting the Jews who adhered to Judaism.
The Jews were driven out and scattered all over the earth but remained true to Judaism.
Descendants of their pagan neighbors, of pagans who had superficially converted, and of others remained. They were joined by Arabs from Arabia who eventually adopted Islam.
People from all over the Muslim areas came in, went out, and came in again, over and over again.
Meanwhile the other Israelites in the west adopted Christianity and linked up with the Edomites in that region and with others.
In the time of the Crusades they tried to regain control of the Land of Canaan but were not successful. The Land was now referred to as "Palestine" after one of the non-Israelite nations who had been there.
Some of these Crusaders also intermixed with the Palestinians as did numerous other heathens.
The so-called "Palestinians" are in effect now mainly Sunni Muslims since the Christians and others among them have left (or are leaving) and abandoned whatever claims they may have had.
These Palestinians call themselves "Palestinian" meaning descendants of the Philistine heathens who were once in the area.
They are pawns of Edomites In Europe and Japan and of Ishmaelites in Arabia both of whom want to take the area for themselves or at all events do not want the Jews to have it.
The Jews are descended from a portion of the original Israelites along with some non-Israelites who converted. The Bible allows conversion.
The Bible defines the present-day Jews as JUDAH.

The Jews keep the Law of circumcision, basically believe in the Torah despite the false doctrines of Evolution, the misinterpretation of scientific findings, etc.
The Jews basically believe. They keep a good portion of the Commandments. A section of them (Orthodox Hareidi Jews and National Religious Jews) in principle accept all the Torah.
The Land therefore is bequeathed to them by virtue of their descent, avoiding idolatry, and Keeping the Law.
Attempts to convert the Jews to Christianity though sometimes well-meaning are against the will of the Almighty, in effect misleading, and putting the Jews in danger.
The other Israelites, from the Ten Tribes, if they return will also have to keep the Law. This requirement may not be so stringent at first in peripheral regions.
Areas east of the Nile, Sinai, Jordan, parts of Samaria, Lebanon, Syria, parts of Arabia, and Turkey, etc., by right should also adhere to the Israelites. Prophecy indicates that in the future it will do so.
The time is coming.
