The oldest known written sentence is in the Canaanite alphabet, which begat the Phoenician alphabet, which begat the Greek alphabet, which begat the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. And what of the Canaanites themselves? It is clear from the Bible that the pre-Israelite population, the founders of Jerusalem, never went away. They never have yet.
They became Christians when or before the Roman Empire did so, and they adopted the use of Arabic at the time of a Muslim Conquest contemporaneous with the Saxon Conquest of what is now England. Those ancient indigenous Christians are still there. The founders of modern Palestinian identity, they are the people of Shireen Abu Akleh.
Parties that burn down their churches as a matter of religious obligation have now entered government in Israel, having already provided the Israeli Ambassador to London, who in turn appeared in Liz Truss's Conservative Leadership campaign video.
Having backed the wrong horse, let that Ambassador be expelled, taking with her a Labour Leader who has repeatedly paid obsequious court to her as he has made Labour Party membership conditional upon approval by an agent, who is not even a British citizen, of what is now a Kahanist regime, a church-burning and anti-miscegenation regime any criticism of which, as a breach of the IHRA Definition, would be expulsionable from the Labour Party.
The Thatcher Government banned the late Rabbi Meir Kahane from the United Kingdom, and this Conservative Government should honour that legacy by expelling the personally Kahanist Ambassador of what is now a Kahanist regime. "Root out the lice," indeed.
Fascinating and important.
