This is perhaps getting off topic but by way of a response to your comment. 

It might be left wing revisionists rather than right wing revisionist historians, since those against Israel tend to be on the left of political opinion, but never mind we know what is happening: we have the Bible. 

I once came across the mention of "a renegade Anglican (!?) John Nelson Darby" being so described and named as having supposedly influenced Christians in the "Bible Belt" of America which in turn became responsible for American policy in the Middle East. I think it rather like blaming a weather forecaster for a rainy day when we really wanted sunshine. JND and others read the Bible and saw what was coming. It is all there if only people would read the Bible and take it seriously. "Ignore it at your peril ! " I would say. As Mr Darby said, "God moves behind the scenes and He moves the scenes He is behind." 

As the old chorus says, "What the world needs in Jesus." "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4.12 KJV.)
