Arab/Israeli Israel Arab Conflict
A Short History and Warning for Dividing God's Land

12-10-17, [Excerpted*] -- Like so much fake news today, there is ample disinformation being spread about Israel and the Arab/Israeli conflict. Much of it being spread by Islamists and the Democrat Party. Many Islamic leaders deny the existence of an ancient Jewish Kingdom and a Jewish temple in Jerusalem…fake history.

Chris Mathews’ Ignorance is Stunning

Chris Mathews of the infamous MSNBC recently said that “crazy evangelical Christians in the South are uninformed about President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel because they have “mythical beliefs” about the ancient city…Because if you don’t give the Palestinians hope that they can have national integrity and have a capital where it should be, you’re going to have an unending problem.” Ridiculous, most of the Muslims/Arabs in Israel have been warring against the Jews for centuries - this capitol declaration is just an excuse for more of the same.
Picture

Arab countries refused to absorb any of the ‘Palestinians.’ [Why doesn’t the UN complain?] The word “Palestine” comes from the Egyptian and Hebrew word peleshet meaning migratory; it was used to describe the ancient inhabitants of the land to the northeast of Egypt, the Philistines, more related to the Greeks than Arabs, but ancient enemies of Israel.
In the second century when Rome conquered Israel, they renamed it Palaestinia as both an affront to the Jews and to minimize Jewish identification with the land. Nevertheless, Jews always and perpetually occupied the land.

Under the Ottoman [Muslims] empire, the name Palestine was used as a general term to describe the land south of Syria. It was not and never been and never had:
  1. an official designation
  2. a country; the land was simply described as Southern Syria … not Palestine
  3. a Palestinian; merely Arabs living in the Holy land
  4. had borders
  5. a government
  6. a capital
  7. economy or monetary system
  8. Jerusalem been mentioned in the Koran – not once. [In the Judeo Christian Bible over 800 times]
Returning Jews to Israel never stole any Arab land, but always settled on unclaimed, unoccupied land or purchased land from Arabs at ridiculously high prices.
In November of 1947, the UN proposed a resolution, Resolution 181, dividing the territory into two states, one for Jews, one for ‘Palestinian’ Arabs. The partition was rejected by the Arabs and the 1948 War resulted.
​

The Arabs in the Holy Land never had a country nor did they ever seek it. In the 1948 war, Arab countries did not send troops to help the “Palestinians,” but rather to drive the Jews into the sea.

Picture
Picture
Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. About 630,000 Arabs left Israel even though Israelis asked them to stay. Property that they owned was abandoned. The number of Jewish refugees in Arab lands was about the same.

After the war, Israel absorbed all of the Jewish refugees while the Arab countries refused to absorb any of the ‘Palestinians.’ Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since WW2, theirs is the only refugee group that was refused to be integrated into their own people’s lands; with the exception of the small percentage that ended up in refugee camps which are still being used today by Arabs as political pawns to invoke sympathy. There is an Arab refugee problem because the Arabs want it so.

The territory allotted to be the Palestinian state by the UN was divided between Israel and Jordan. So, should Israel divide their country further and give it to ‘Palestinians’ that never had an interest in becoming a state, but much interest in seeing the demise of Israel? An equivalency would be allowing North Korea with their military and missiles to occupy Florida. Any takers?
​

The Holy Land has never been an important place or destination for Muslims; it’s only significant now that it is a Jewish state.

THE LAND BELONGS TO ABRAHAM & SARAH'S DESCENDANTS
GENESIS 17:15-19

God said unto Abraham, "As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. ... Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael [son of Egyptian maid Hagar descendants Muslims] might live before thee!  God said, "Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him."

FUTURE:
The Lord said  'do not divide My land"* and man has divided it and wants still more. There will be consequences... God is going to gather all the nations – not some of the nations … not a few of the nations … the text says “all” of the nations [Joel 3:1-2]. He is especially angry singling out a few specific nations:


  1. Tyre and Zidon (Lebanon) & Philistia [Gaza]  Joel 3:4
  2. Greece Joel 3:6
  3. Edom [Jordan] & Egypt  Joel 3:19
*  Genesis 12:1, 13:15, 17:8; Deuteronomy 1:8; 30:7; Exodus 6:8; Joshua 1:6; Numbers 34:1-15;Ezekiel 48:18; Leviticus 25:23;  Romans 9:4, 11; Hebrews 11:8
