Somehow it has become a problem on Wikipedia to say that Jews trace their origin to Judah. Four users call it a myth and ridicule the one user opposed to the removal of this fact. Judah/Judea was contemporary with and documented by the Romans, and no one calls the Romans a myth.

Hah. This is Debresser fighting with minor trolls. FYI Debresser, being a Lubavitcher rabbi, is a minor figure in the endless Israel/Palestine editwarring.....

Of course there are rows. It's about the political narratives around the Jewish people of the 20th century moving to the land of the Jewish people of the 1st century, and the extent to which they might have some sort of claim on that land. It's not about writing an encyclopaedia, and never was: it's entirely about the political agenda.
