A documentary on t.v. last night confirmed that Caananites (Arabs) and Jews are one and the same. It is theology that separates them, not race - nd that from the mouth of someone of the jewish faith. The programmes also sank again the notion that Joshua toppled Jericho and other towns - it just didn't happen - showing the bible to be nothing more than tales of wishful thinking scribes. i.e. fiction.
All of the above has been my long held conviction.
