Palestine was originally inhabited by Canaanites and other tribes who spoke Sem. Later, Hebrew, a nomadic tribe who spoke Sem, later called Jews, gradually moved from the East to Palestine, and after a long conflict with Canaanites, they gradually lived together. Among them, Israeli tribes live in the north and Jewish tribes live in the south.
During the 200 years from 12 century BC to 1 1 century BC, the Philistines were attacked by the Greeks and crossed the ocean to live in Canaan. The Hebrews fought a long and fierce war with the Philistines. 1 1 century BC, King David, a Jew, unified the Jewish tribes and established the kingdom of Israel and Judea. Later, they drove out the Philistines from Schet and seized Jerusalem from the Canaanites, making it the capital of Israel and the Jewish kingdom. Since then, Jerusalem has become the holy city of Israeli Jews. After David died, his son Solomon succeeded to the throne. At this time, the strength of the Jewish kingdom of Israel has been further developed. Since the time of David, the luxurious palace and the house of the Lord built on Mount Zion in Jerusalem have been completed. Jews regard Mount Zion as a sacred mountain and call on Jews scattered around the world to "concentrate around Mount Zion". This is the origin of the word "Zionism" (meaning "Zionism"). However, the contradictions within the kingdom also developed during this period. After the Jews were taken to Babylon, Jerusalem was in ruins, the surrounding walls were destroyed, temples and palaces were set on fire, and all the gold, silver and bronze in the city were taken to Babylon. Decades later, Ju Lushi destroyed the new Babylonian kingdom and sent them back to Jerusalem to rebuild their homeland.
Jews have suffered a lot since they stepped onto the historical stage. It is said that they lived in Egypt for hundreds of years, suffered a lot and fled Egypt under the leadership of a leader named Moses. He wandered in the desert area of Sinai Peninsula for many years. Later, he fought against Canaanites and Philistines for a long time, and suffered from prisoners who were destroyed and slaughtered for decades. Jews honed by hard life prayed to God to save them in from the mire and help them to restore their country. They believe that the Lord is the only true God who rules all things in the universe. This is Judaism. Jews believe that the wicked will be punished by the Lord (God) and the savior will come. They recorded related myths, legends, poems, history, the Ten Commandments of Moses and the quotations of "prophets" (people who told the people and kings the word of God) and compiled them into the Bible. The Bible is a classic worshipped by Jews. Later, after the rise of Christianity, it accepted this Bible and called it the Old Testament. At the same time, the new preaching of Christianity is called the New Testament.
Jews have an important influence on religion, and Israeli Jews scattered around the world regard their belief in Judaism as the basis of national identity. Jerusalem is a holy place for Judaism and Christianity, and later became a holy place for Islam. Believers of these three religions regard Jerusalem as their holy city according to their own religious legends.
