Danny Ayalon, founder of the Truth About Israel advocacy group, sent out his greeting for Hanukkah on Sunday.
Writing on Twitter, the former ambassador to the United States added a quote from Shim'on (Simon) the Maccabee which said, "We didn't steal this land from others, nor did we colonize foreign territory. It's our ancestral homeland, which our enemies illegally occupied. When given a chance, we returned to our ancestral homeland."
