Imagine trying to extend and justify every land conflict way further before the Roman Empire, hence the Italian can claim back their ruling over most of England, and the Moroccan over most of Spain.

  • The Israel situation is unusual in that the jews came from there, got dispersed a couple of thousand years ago, never really had a homeland elsewhere and then some of them decided to come back. There's not much else like that. It's not like the Italians were driven from Italy and have waited centuries to return.

Are you literally judging a book by its title? I don't think dismissing books out of hand without actually engaging with anything they say, but rather by engaging with imagined arguments based on their titles, is not a good way of arriving at knowledge and truth.
