Judah was the name of the 4th son of Jacob & Leah.
Jacob's father was Isaac. Isaac's elder step brother was Ishmael. Their father was Abraham/Abram.
From Ishmael's side we have the Islamic faith. From Isaac's we have Judaism and Christianity.
When the Israelites conquered the land, the area around Jerusalem was given to Benjamin (Jacob's youngest son). Judah had land south of there.
Before the Israelites moved in, it was known as the land of the Canaanites.
Maybe they should have been given King David's lands? That would have upset the Saudis.

Not sure we can blame Islam because that arrived 1400 years later the Arabs hated the the Jews well before then.
What the Israelis have now is less than they had before the Ottoman's most of the land in dispute is desertAlways forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Not sure who is blaming Islam. I was just trying to improve your knowledge of the Abrahamic line, how three main religions all come from one family. One father two different mothers (one a slave, one his wife).

I specifically wasn't blaming Islam but the region is very much divided in Arab minds on religious grounds.
So they ate a lot of wheat, because they were inter-bred?Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
