1. You are right about my opinions towards the "Jewish People", but I do think that there is a Hebrew nation, just as there is a Palestinian one.
I don't care if a group of people decides to declare itself to be a "Nation", despite the fact that it does not fit the criteria of the term - as long as that group does not demand any land or rights based on that declaration, and as long as it does not take away the land or rights of others, as the "Jewish" one did.

2. No, to neither part of your statement.

3. First of all I disagree with your arbitrary focus on this time period, and second of all, even within that focus, my answer is No.
