 Israel and Judah were there for many hundreds of years before the Jews were violently evicted by Arabs.

The part of ancient Syria that later became Lebanon was occupied by Maronites - Christians under attack by Romans and Persians for hundreds of years. Arabs kicked them out and turned Lebanon into an islamofascist ethnostate.

The "neighbor" is Arabs. Arabs are native to Arabia but colonized the whole Levant as well as Northern Africa and large parts of Europe. That invasion is being resisted by the native peoples they displaced. If you haven't been paying attention to the history then I urge you to read it. But I think you know full well really.

 Your comment showcases how deeply the fiat system's media and academic propaganda machines have gripped you. Before parroting narratives that sanitize the brutal atrocities against Lebanon and Palestine, do smarter research. These claims aren't just false; they're tools meant to blind, distract, and defend oppression, especially for the readers in the West. Confront the truth—unfiltered, and unshackled.

◻️ Ancient Israel and Judah: 
Yes, Israel and Judah existed—over 2,500 years ago. The kingdoms fell due to Assyrian and Babylonian conquests, not "Arab violence." The Jewish diaspora spread due to Roman oppression centuries before Arab influence in the region even emerged. Clinging to millennia-old kingdoms as a claim to modern land ownership? It’s as absurd as Spain demanding California back based on colonial conquest. Historical claims do not justify present-day displacement of Palestinians.

◻️ Maronites in Lebanon: 
The reality is that the Lebanese Maronites weren’t "kicked out" by Arabs; they found refuge and built strongholds in Mount Lebanon. Centuries of coexistence and cooperation between Maronites, Druze, and Muslims shaped Lebanon’s complex history. The depiction of Lebanon as an "islamofascist ethnostate" ignores that most Lebanese Muslims view Christians positively, the highest in any predominantly Muslim nation. Your “ethnostate” narrative serves only to distort and divide—a familiar tactic to justify foreign domination. We have 18 religious sects in Lebanon and the Lebanese constitution because we have a diverse population coexisting since Lebanon existed. And this is exactly why Lebanon is known to be the most modern Arab country.

◻️ Arabs in the Levant: Indigenous Presence, Not Colonization
The "Arab colonization" argument ignores that the Levant is home to a diverse Arab identity shaped through centuries of cultural exchange, migration, and settlement. Arabs did not descend from Arabia to colonize; they integrated and became indigenous, evolving alongside other communities. Meanwhile, modern political #Zionism's central planning expropriated land from Palestinians—real families and communities—based on a religious-ethnic ideology.

◻️ Colonization and Today’s Reality: Violating Sovereignty
The displacement of Palestinians in 1948 and beyond, including ongoing land theft, demolitions, and settlements, is not a footnote. It is a deliberate strategy of dispossession. Imagining Italy reclaiming North Africa or Britain seizing land in India because of past empires exposes the absurdity. History may have ghosts, but stealing homes and violating property rights in real-time is something else: colonization in plain sight.

⏰ If you’re serious about history, I invite you to confront the present reality. Historical myths cannot erase ongoing injustices on #Lebanon and #Palestine. All the above points are supported by open-source public records and reputable publications. I invite those with intellectual curiosity to verify and explore the facts for themselves. 
 Absolute bullshit. Arabs are not native to the region, they invaded and colonized: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquest_of_the_Levant

Nobody is displacing Palestinian Arabs. They were given their own territory. The current conflict is because they attacked Israel yet again.

If anyone was displaced in modern history it was the Jews. Why was that, Sooly? Arabs kicked them out. Again. In the 20th Century.

Why is Lebanon an Arab country Sooly?

"The most modern Arab country" what does that mean? The most civilized? Why are Arab countries not civilized? 
 Did you know that anyone can add anything on Wikipedia if they re having a media publication or by just outsourcing the job to a media agency? Anyone can also contribute and add information to existing Wikipedia pages. Your views and points you keep pointing at are the same manipulative campaign shared by the oppressive persuasive mainstream media in general and the zionists in specific. Because that’s all you and your masters can do. You don’t know better. Looks like you’re a regular at the mental laundromat. I don’t have time for you and your propaganda continuation on Nostr. Keep drinking your brainwash coolaid. You don’t like what you read keep scrolling. Everyone can check your npub history and see who you really are and your real values. That’s the beauty of Nostr and I love it! 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 👋🏽 
 It’s quite intriguing and burdensome to try to explain simple math to a Zionist mind. I mean it is really shocking, they are indulged in the lies and deceit made by their own masters that they can’t see past them anymore just for the sake of justifying the killing of innocents. 
 "Arab" is a social construct, just like "white".

Conquest is not population replacement, unless you're Bar Kokhba or Bibi Netanyahu. 
 Romans were Arabs, now? General Vespasian would be surprised to learn that.

He burned the Temple and banned Jews from owning land for several dozen miles around Yerushmalim - pretty much the entirety of ancient Judah.

He had reasons - Bar Kokhba had committed sickening war crimes, even by the low standards of that age.

The rest of your post is equally devoid of truth.

Do better. Be better.
