(ISSYR) Israel was a country during the period from 720BCE to 605BCE.
The dates are chosen because 720BCE is when a certain Kingdom of Israel in that region was destroyed by the Assyrian empire, which itself fell in 605BCE. I assume your answer is probably no, because goddamn Jews.
(PCSR) Palestine has never been under independent self rule.
Can we at least agree on that?
Oh really? You want to go that far in the past?? So who exactly was living there and what did the jews coming from egypt do to them according to the old testament? Or you want to hash that out?
