HISTORY TIME-LINE.

Read any history of Palestine,and in ANY historical period. Whether 10,000 years ago.Whether 5,000 years ago.Whether 2500 years ago.Whether 1300 years ago.
Here's one timeline of history. I don't see any Arabs, muslims or palestinians. Not even that any Jews are muslim converts. Islam emerged in the 6th C CE, while there is no account of Arabs pre 500 BCE. Who is talking nonesense?
