Shlomo Sand (Israeli Emeritus Professor of History at Tel Aviv University.) author of the 'The Invention of the Jewish People.' The Jewish were invented in the second half of the 19th century.
The Jews were exiled, but there is no reference at all to them being exiled from Palestine. The diaspora - existence of Jewish communities in the world does not originate from exile or immigration but rather from proselytizing. Most Jewish are converts ... so how can they be direct descendants of David.

While acknowledging "the affinity between Jews and the holy land," Sand has said that "I don't think the religious affinity to the land gives you historical right." Still, he supports Israel's existence "not because of historical right, but because of the fact that it exists today and any effort to destroy it will bring new tragedies." He explained that he doesn't call himself a Zionist, but "a post-Zionist and non-Zionist because the justification of this land is not historical right."
Comparing the Palestinians to children of rape, Sand has said that Israel "raped a population. And not only a population – we destroyed this society, in constituting the Israeli state." He opposes the Law of Return and the right of return. Still, "Israel has to be the state of Israelis. That is the only way we can continue to live in the Middle East." He argues that before Hitler, Jews were overwhelmingly against Zionism, and the concept of "Eretz Israel" was not about an earthly homeland but about something more spiritual. He also opposes the one-state solution because, while "very very popular in leftist circles," it is "not serious" because Israelis, being "one of the most racist societies in the western world," will never accept it. Thus he supports a "two state solution on the borders of ’67, taking out most of the settlers. I don’t think it will be a big problem."[16] His position on the formation of a national identity extends to Palestinians, who did not, in his view, exist as a people before the rise of Zionism.
