Echoes of Strife: Understanding the Centuries-Old Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

[pjmret]

God gave the Jews the land. The land was later stolen from them, and they had to fight to get it back. For thousands of years friendly rulers have returned the land to the Jews at different times, and heathen nations have stolen the land from the Jews at other times. In our modern era the UN returned the land to the Jews even though many Jews had already bought their own individual properties from entrepreneurial warlords who controlled the portions of land they sold back to the Jews.

Even though the land was returned to the Jews by the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the world did not actually honor that declaration until 1948 and then the Arabs and Palestinians swore to murder every Jew who dared to return to their rightful homeland. In summary, the Jews owned the land by heavenly decree, not the Palestinians. The Jews fought to keep their lands, not the Palestinians. The Jews fought to take back their lands, never the Palestinians. The Jews bought back their lands, not the Palestinians. And Jews today fight terrorist Palestinians seeking to steal the land they never owned for any reason in the entire range of human history.

hahahahahhahah

the gall you have to claim land was "stolen" after they stole it from the canaanites.

Abraham owned the land before the Canaanites moved in and God owned and still owns the land before that.

i don't see "god" on any legal documents. lol.

sorry the jews stole the land, in any intelligent legal sense. claiming some weird religious belief as a legal claim is silly. Try showing up at your local courthouse with a religious belief and evicting someone and see where it gets you

What legal documents do you claim gives Palestinians the right to murder Jews and steal their property? Were those documents written when the Palestinians sided with Hitler?

i don't claim any legal documents. I point out that the jews stole the land originally. the history is well known.

Abraham settled the land before the Canaanites before God gave him the land for a perpetual inheritance, so I don't know who you think the Canaanites bought the land from.

Abraham was born in the Sumerian city of Ur. After Abraham's father died, Yahweh visited Abraham and instructed him to smash the idols of his father's gods, to worship the one and only true god, Yahweh, and to move his family to Canaan. Yahweh promised Abraham that if he followed these laws, he would found a great nation that would live in a land

This land, known as Canaan in ancient times, is roughly located in the same place as modern-day Israel.

Abraham's migration took place some time between 2000 B.C.E. and 1700 B.C.E. It occurred at a time when the Canaanites lived in relatively small, independently governed, walled cities. They were accustomed to outsiders coming into their territory. The Hebrews, who were nomadic herders, were tolerated by the Canaanites

The canaanites were there before the jews

The Canaanites were never given the land by God. Furthermore, the Canaanites were a young nation during Abraham's day and at that time the total number of humans on earth was extremely small compared to today. The young Canaanite nations had no divine right to the land God deeded to Abraham forever.

You should repent for accusing God of stealing land from heathen rebels against God.

Joshua 11:20
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the Lord commanded Moses.
