I see what you mean. I was in error over the Menagerie idea. Also I think the analogy to Israel is a great one. I dont know if I believe that the faunus were the original inhabitants of Remnant though. I am more for the idea that both humans and faunus were originally on Remnant but developed seperatly. They encountered each other during or after the grimm wars and maybe wars broke out after first contact. Humanity won the first war or wars and subjected the faunus. In the next war the faunus may have called for a crusade to take back captured lands taken in the past wars.

If the "Third Crusade" is based on the real one then the faunus were succesful to a degree in taking back lands but did not get their main goal like the crusaders never got jerusalem.
