Those events would have been centuries apart. This is like saying that because Romulus and Remus weren’t raised by a she-wolf you don’t believe in Rome.
I know this, but the entire Israeli story being based on a flat-out lie doesn’t cut it for me. The entire out of Egypt story is a complete fabrication, and that is a HUGE part of Israeli identity in the Bible.
First no you don’t know this otherwise you wouldn’t be making such an overtly ignorant claim.
We have no idea if it is a fabrication. We have no evidence that supports the idea that Hebrews and Judeans were enslaved by Egypt but we have nothing that refutes it either. Most of the forms of evidence you would expect to find would not survive thousands of years. We suspect it did not happen but we don’t know.
Why would it matter? Most nations and people have inaccurate understandings of themselves and theor neighbors.

Look, you’re free to believe whatever you want, even if it’s wrong.
