Actually, what difference does it make what year the arabs invaded and
took over the country. The Jews were there before and for a longer
time than the arabs. And Moreover if you want to use the argument
that since the arabs captured the country in the 7th century and
killed or threw out as many Jews as there were THEN we now can
use the same argument about the current status of Israel that we
invaded and captured and should now throw the arabs out.
