He is of Christian background.Contents1 His theory that the pre-exilic Jews never lived in Israel1.1 Quotes2 Partial listing of books by Kamal Salibi3 External links4 References on his theory of Jewish history[edit]His theory that the pre-exilic Jews never lived in IsraelKamal Salibi has written several books advocating the controversial Israel in Yemen theory. In this view, the placenames of the Bible actually allude to places in Arabia, and were later reinterpreted to refer to places in Palestine when the Jews moved to Palestine after the Exile; and the ancient Jews actually came from Yemen, on the Arabian peninsula. In his view, the epigraphic evidence for Jewish presence in Palestine comes from a later period, or is mere coincidence of names. One Palestinian historian, Jarid al-Kidwa, agrees, claiming that the pre-exilic Jews never lived in Israel. However, the theory has not been widely accepted anywhere, neither in the Arab world nor outside it.[edit]QuotesA Palestinian TV show broadcast on PLO Television in June 1997 featured Palestinian Arab historian Jarid al-Kidwa. He claimed that all the events surrounding Kings Saul, David and Rehoboam occurred in Yemen, and no Hebrew remnants were found in Israel, for a very simple reason--because they were never here.According to the Israeli daily Haaretz (July 6, 1997), al-Kidwa said: The stories of the Torah and the Bible did not take place in the Land of Israel — they occurred in the Arabian peninsula, primarily in Yemen. The identity of our father Ibrahim [Abraham] who is mentioned in the Quran is clear. From the Qurans description of him it arises that he lived in the southern Hejaz [Saudi Arabia], near Mecca.[edit]Partial listing of books by Kamal SalibiSalibi, Kemal.
