This was your question about the past. I indicated thst I do know a bit.Do you know what happened to the people of Judea?
And you then give me this about the present

The present days are rooted in past events.
You posted pictures from Masada, a famous landmark in Jewish history where Zealots made a last stand against the Roman Empire and where Israeli soldiers still pledge allegiance to their country.
You cannot fully understand current events unless you have a grasp of history.
Go on...i'm sure you've a point to make.The History I believe.
Historically, the early Israelites (from whom the Jewish people descended) emerged in the region around 1200–1000 BCE, while Islam was founded in Arabia in the 7th century CE, over 1,500 years later.

Palestine has never existed as a Country or State.....Palestine is an Administrative Name given to the Holy Land after the fall of the Ottoman Empire who called the Holy Land Arazi-i Muqaddas (Turkish for Holy Land) and one Region called Jund Filastin (Turkish for Military District of Filastin, with Filastin being the Geographical Name used by the Romans and Byzantines Before the Islamic Conquests and Colonisations) The Romans, more accurately the Roman Emperor Hadrian, (he of Hadrian's Wall fame in Britain) renamed the Area which at the time had been called Judea and Samaria to Syria Palaestina to cut the Jewish link to the area and at the same time Insult the Jews with the name Palaestina a Latin form of Philistia, the Land of the Ancient Philistines, who were people of an Ancient Greek Origin that were an Archenemy, a Nemesis of the Jews.You're conflating a people with a religion.
Unless you're claiming there was no Palestine before the founding of Islam.
In which case take a Good Grasp of History from my reply to the BrigadierThe present days are rooted in past events.

Palestine has never existed as a Country

To summarise responses above:A Jew would say
"The Jewish people are not foreign tourists in Judea.
We did not name ourselves after this land.
This land was named after us.
Our kingdoms stood here.
Our language was born here.
Our holiest places are here.
Our history is buried beneath every road".
