@HealthRanger @HebrewKaren Actually the middle east is part of Africa... in biblical times and prior to the building of the Suez canal... it was considered northeast Africa.

Also, many don't know that the UN (after WW2) originally wanted to relocate the Ashkenazi Jews to Uganda (east Africa). Which is more lush, green and beautiful mountainous land, and what some say is the true biblical Israel (based on ancient maps).

You have to wonder why the United Nations selected Uganda first (before Palestine). Maybe they knew it too. Really the area of encompassing Uganda, Kenya, (some of Ethiopia) and Tanzania (are said to be true Israel).
