DNM;

In Joshua, 11, we read;

15 كَمَا أمَرَ اللهُ خَادِمَهُ مُوسَى هَكَذَا أمَرَ مُوسَى يَشُوعَ، وَهَكَذَا عَمِلَ يَشُوعُ، فَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَيْئًا أمَرَ اللهُ مُوسَى بِهِ إلَّا وَعَمِلَهُ.
فَسَيطَرَ يَشُوعُ عَلَى كُلِّ المِنْطَقَةِ الجَبَلِيَّةِ وَالنَّقَبِ وَأرْضِ جُوشِنَ وَالتِّلَالِ الغَربِيَّةِ وَوَادِي الأُرْدُنِّ وَمِنطَقَةِ التِّلَالِ فِي إسْرَائِيلَ وَمُنخَفَضَاتِهَا، مِنْ جَبَلِ حَالَقَ المُمتَدِّ نَحْوَ سَعِيرَ إلَى بَعلَ جَادَ فِي وَادِي لُبْنَانَ إلَى الجَنُوبِ مِنْ جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ. وَأسَرَ جَمِيعَ مُلُوكِهِمْ وَقَتَلَهُمْ.

So, before addressing further comments, does this match the much later contentions of Q5:21-22?

Are we not experiencing the similar issues of the 'Palestinians' trying to take something back that is not theirs?
