All the North African states are settler colonies. The Arab states expelled their Jews , who predated Arabs and Islam across North Africa


Do you have any references for that claim? I wasn't aware that the Berbers, who've been there since the Stone Age, were predated by the Jewish people.


they are not. you can read things like The Shining Ones which is phd dissertation about how Amazigh settled into Nile delta etc. and along it to gradually form Egypt.

Amazigh were the nomads who lived in North Africa in tribal settings, so they didnt have clear borders or nation like we have it now.

Once egypt grew to big and arrogant it is also the Amazigh who cut their trade routes to deeper Africa, which caused the decline and fall of that great empire.

disclaimer: my spouse is trained by master Amazigh storyteller to be one of first female storytellers. they have fascinating stories. A lot of history and tradition encoded in old contexts. (stories about animals and nature mostly)


Amazigh are the people of North Africa. Arabs, Jews, Phoenecians, French, etc. etc. all visitors/colonisers.

Amazigh has only been officially recognised since 2001 and their language since 2011 because of these other peoples and our genious science who does not recognise oral stories since it is not written -_- (they had to develop an alphabet to get recognised formally, imagine that :')... 6000+ years old. One of the oldest civilizations in existence, predate ancient Egypt. (early dynasties were Amazigh moving to sedentary life etc.)

Since jews seem to have spring from ancient Egypt you could say somewhere they have Amazigh roots :D but i suppose they will think differently about it.


the states did not expell the jews. israel scared them out of their countries after ww2 to use them as colonizers in palestine.


> who predated Arabs and Islam across North Africa

Everybody starts telling history starting from when they were in charge.
