Bonnie:
Please clarify, as it is clear you do not wish me to
misquote you or misunderstand you.
You are asserting that Jews arrived in the land of
Israel in ancient times (ie, much more recently than
8000 years ago)?
What is your evidence that Jews (actually the ancient
Israelites) arrived from the region around Iraq in
ancient times? When is "ancient times" exactly?
What is the evidence that the ancient Israelites
arrived from anywhere other than ancient Israel?
