It makes one wonder why the Canaanites never declared jihad against Israel; oh yeah, that's right, jihad wasn't invented until 2000 years later.
It would seem that the Israelis have a long history of "stealing" land. Do you think the British, Moroccans, French, Soviets, Dutch, Spanish, Hawaiians, Americans, and all manner of other former or current “colonist” nations might have learned something from them?
Oh yeah, I forgot about the most succesful "colonists" ever; the Mongols. As I recall, Genghis Khan didn't put up with any jihad!
