Let us deal with you last premise first. Do you actually believe America wasn't occupied? I think the American Indians would have a lot to say about that, don't you? I don't mean to be rude but I find that insulting both to the Indians and to our intelligence.
Secondly, the Bible says we all came from Adam and that later god made Eve, do you believe that? Do you still believe the Pyramids were built by slaves when all the evidence shows that they weren't? And yes the Jews were Egyptians as much as the Kush. It's not about where you live it's about ethnicity. Anyway your comment on an unoccupied America really disqualifies you from any reasonable debate on this subject.

They were starving. Joseph had control of the grain storage and was a good weather forecaster! Later, there arose a Pharaoh who "knew not Joseph" and the Children of Israel became slaves in Egypt. The Egyptians were afraid of them because of their over-population. I would be interested in knowing why you think these Jews were Egyptians. ?? Also, do you think that Americans, also have no long, long claim to the land in America?.......as this land was not occupied either.
