The combined years of existence for jewish states that there is archaeological evidence is there for is around 560 years. When the current nation of Israel was created they destroyed many villages some of them in existence for 7 or 8 hundred years. I think it says something that villages were destroyed that has existed longer than all jewish states combined to create a jewish state
Jericho is the oldest continuously inhabited city in Palestine [and probably the world] Archaelogical evidence shows it to be at least 11,000 years old [9000 BC]
