I have a Question

Referring to Iran's President Ahmedijan's statements from Mecca today that The Holocaust may have been overblown and that Israel should be in Europe (he should read history, no one in Europe wanted the Jews, neither did America, Palestine was somewhere they could stick them, and come on Iran stop being such a fuck up.)
I need help on the item in bold, Have the Israelis been in Israel longer than the Persians in Persia?

Raanan Gissin, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said in Tel Aviv that Ahmadinejad was voicing "the consensus that exists in many circles in the Arab world that the Jewish people ... do not have the right to establish a Jewish, democratic state in their ancestral homeland".
"Just to remind Mr. Ahmadinejad, we've been here long before his ancestors were here," Gissin said. "Therefore, we have a birthright to be here in the land of our forefathers and to live here. Thank God we have the capability to deter and to prevent such a statement from becoming a reality."
