In the Bronze Age, between 4,000 and 3,000 years ago, a diverse group of people called the Canaanites lived in the Middle East.

Boy, that headline should bring some of you up short. I know when I was a liberal Zionist a few decades ago, it would’ve struck me as exceedingly strange. Then, ‘Zionist’ was a synonym for ‘Jew.’ You couldn’t be a Zionist without being a Jew. And except for a few outliers who seemed beyond the Pale, you couldn’t be a Jew without being a Zionist.
