"A couple of things are clear from this timeline — Israel/Palestine has been a very “popular” tourist stop for more than 2000 years."
Love the perspective (tourist attraction), like a Middle East Disneyland with all kinds of fantasy characters (and some real ones).
What's really amazing is I'm the first comment to this post, now almost 6 months in the making. Crazy, especially with all the genocide going on in the ares. One would think some people would want a little historical perspective, possibly in the interest of getting some adults in the room and settling things peacefully.
Thanks for noticing. I like discussion too. But here we don't get much of it. People are busy, and books take time to read. Especially books that I didn't find myself, (themselves). I claim that most of these books are from a different viewpoint, because none of them were written by Americans. There are a few pieces, like this one above. But most are from my translations.
Today I was working on a long one about ethnogenesis. I'll still have about a month needed to finish it.
I do get plenty of discussion though, since I started to participate with WhyNotThink, another Substack site. You're invited: https://whynotthink.substack.com/

Very helpful timeline for reference. (I say reference as I will not be able to recall it all 😊)
Thank you for composing it.
