I view it through the lens of Scripture and the knowledge of a God who is ever faithful to His promises.

I suppose every member on this board believes that.

Also, I fully support a nation defending itself against terrorists and people who wish to annihilate them.

Forces of good (Jews) against forces of evil (Muslims). Jews are good, Muslims are evil.

It's been 64 years now. If God is for a 'Greater Israel' then you know it's going to happen eventually, and you know this U.N. decision today is all part of the way it has to play out. It's all transpiring the way it's supposed to according to the timeline it's supposed to.

Why the angst that I percieve among 'you people'?

So what of the U.N. ruling?

How does that change anything according to God's plan?

What's not getting advanced?

We have to separate spiritual Israel from political Israel. The current political state of Israel is not directly related to the Israel of the Old Testament.

Frankly, this is a silly thing to for the UN. They declared the new state of Israel and took the land away from the Palestinians to begin with, now they're meddling in the region again. If they wanted to provide Israel with land and a political recognition then fine, but don't go back on it. I disagree that this emboldens terrorists, of course terrorist is all dependent on your perspective. This just shows that the UN is a ridiculous body of nations that usually accomplishes less than a high school class council.

However, they started this mess so I guess we have to wait for them to sort it out.

Terrorism is not subjective. One may agree or disagree with the motivation for terrorism but that does not change what terrorism is. The Palestinians are terrorists and Islam is pure evil. Period. It is not just a few extremists. It is the majority of them.

Very well stated post. Thanks for the balance.

I am. That land, and so much more, belongs to Israel as God has promised.
Newsflash - we're in the New Covenant now.

BTW, God's just told me that your house belongs to me, so I expect you to be out by midnight tonight so I can move in. As God has said this, I'm sure as a good Christian you have no problem with that.

There are in reality two Palestines - one in the West Bank under the more moderate Fatah and the other languishing under the terrorists of Hamas in Gaza. Statehood for the former presents far less of a problem than the latter - for that to happen, Gazans need to either get rid of Hamas (fairly problematic since Hamas holds all the power cards there) or Hamas needs to renounce terrorism and recognise Israel (perhaps a cold day in Hell when that happens). Both are humanly seemingly impossible but with God all things are possible and our prayers should I believe be directed that way.

True peace in the Middle East or worldwide will not happen until Jesus returns. We are getting ready for the Valley of Megiddo.

Are we ready?

Peace,

Here is a solution to the West Bank and Gaza strip terrorists trying to destroy Israel. The bottom line is, despite all the political baloney about peaceful coexistence, is that the ultimate goal of the Palestinians is to destroy the state of Israel. There can be no compromise if Israel wants to continue to exist.

One point you forgot. The "more moderate Fatah" used to be known as the PLO under Yasser Arafat, who was a terrorist.

1969: Arafat becomes head of the PLO, an umbrella
organization of Palestinian terrorist groups. The PLO
charter calls for the destruction of Israel.

Feb. 21, 1970: PFLP, a PLO group, bombs a
SwissAir flight bound for Tel Aviv and kills 47
people.

May 8, 1970: PLO terrorists fire a bazooka into an
Israeli school bus, killing 9 pupils and 3 teachers.

1970: PLO terrorists hijack and blow up 4 passenger
jets. The PLO army threatens Jordanian rule, but PLO
coup is put down and Arafat is exiled to Lebanon.

1972: The PLO blows up a West German electricity
plant, a Dutch gas plant, and an oil refinery in Italy.
The PFLP dispatches members of the Japanese Red
Army to attack Lod Airport in Tel Aviv, killing 27.
Under Arafat’s command, Black September murders
11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics.

1973: Under Arafat’s command, Black September
kidnaps and murders an American Ambassador
and his deputy hostage in Sudan.

April 11, 1974: Eleven Israelis are killed by PLO
terrorists who attack an apartment building in
Kiryat Shmona.

May 15, 1974: PLO terrorists infiltrating Israel from
Lebanon take children hostage at a school in
Ma'alot, killing 26. Most were 15 year-old-girls.
1976: PLO attacks Israel from Lebanon. Assassins
murder the US Ambassador to Lebanon.

March 1978: Fatah terrorists take over an Israeli bus
on the Haifa-Tel Aviv highway and kill 21 passengers.
Feb. 11, 1980: “Peace for us means the destruction
of Israel,” Arafat tells Venezuela’s El Mundo news
source.

1982: The PLO destabilizes Lebanon. Israel
invades Lebanon to stop PLO missile assaults
against Israeli towns. Arafat is exiled to Tunis.

Oct. 7, 1985: PLO terrorists hijack the Italian
cruise ship Achille Lauro and shoot and throw
overboard Leon Klinghoffer, a wheelchair-bound
elderly American.

Sept. 1993: Arafat signs the Oslo Peace Accords
with Israel, but terrorist groups carry out terror
attacks under Arafat’s command and with his
financial support.

Sept. 13, 1995: “Since we cannot defeat Israel in
war we do this in stages. We take any and every
territory that we can of Palestine, and establish
sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard
to take more. When the time comes, we can get
the Arab nations to join us for the final blow
against Israel.” – Yasser Arafat on Jordan TV

Oct. 21, 1996: Arafat says in Bethlehem, “We
know only one word—jihad, jihad, jihad, jihad.”
– Yediot Ahronot

Jan. 3, 2002: Israeli navy intercepts the Karine-A,
a ship loaded with 50 tons of weapons intended
for the Palestinian war against Israelis. The captain
admits he was under the command of Arafat’s
Palestinian Authority.

2003: Forbes Magazine lists Arafat as the world’s
6th wealthiest “King, Queen or Despot.”
“Economic Performance and Reforms under
Conflict Conditions,” an IMF (International
Monetary Fund) report, states that Arafat has
diverted $900 million of public PA funds into his
own accounts from 1995-2000.

The present head of the Fatah is Mahmoud Abbas formerly known as Abu Mazen. He funded the Black September attacks noted above and is a terrorist who worked closely with Arafat.

I am. That land, and so much more, belongs to Israel as God has promised.

Amen. The Abrahamic covenant was unconditional. It was given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Forever. It was not given to Ishmael.

Genesis 13:14 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, onorthward and southward and eastward and westward, 15 for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. 16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. 17 Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”

Genesis 15:[18] In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
[19] The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
[20] And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
[21] And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

The Land Covenant was not for Ishmael:

Genesis 17:[18] And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
[19] And 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.

[20] And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

[21] But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

One point you forgot. The "more moderate Fatah" used to be known as the PLO under Yasser Arafat, who was a terrorist....

Wonder where they got the idea of 'terrorism' to begin with?....:

SOME EARLY EXAMPLES OF JEWISH-ZIONIST TERROR.

August 20, 1937 - June 29, 1939. During this period, the Zionists carried out a series of attacks against Arab buses, resulting in the death of 24 persons and wounding 25 others.

November 25, 1940. S.S.Patria was blown up by Jewish terrorists in Haifa harbour, killing 268 illegal Jewish immigrants (see below).

November 6, 1944. Zionist terrorists of the Stern Gang assassinated the British Minister Resident in the Middle East, Lord Moyne, in Cairo.

July 22, 1946. Zionist terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which housed the central offices of the civilian administration of the government of Palestine, killing or injuring more than 200 persons. The Irgun officially claimed responsibility for the incident, but subsequent evidence indicated that both the Haganah and the Jewish Agency were involved.

October 1, 1946. The British Embassy in Rome was badly damaged by bomb explosions, for which Irgun claimed responsibility.

June 1947. Letters sent to British Cabinet Ministers were found to contain bombs.

September 3, 1947. A postal bomb addressed to the British War Office exploded in the post office sorting room in London, injuring 2 persons. It was attributed to Irgun or Stern Gangs. (The Sunday Times, Sept. 24, 1972, p.8)

December 11, 1947. Six Arabs were killed and 30 wounded when bombs were thrown from Jewish trucks at Arab buses in Haifa; 12 Arabs were killed and others injured in an attack by armed Zionists on an Arab coastal village near Haifa.

December 13,1947. Zionist terrorists, believed to be members of Irgun Zvai Leumi, killed 18 Arabs and wounded nearly 60 in Jerusalem, Jaffa and Lydda areas. In Jerusalem, bombs were thrown in an Arab market-place near the Damascus Gate; in Jaffa, bombs were thrown into an Arab cafe; in the Arab village of Al Abbasya, near Lydda, 12 Arabs were killed in an attack with mortars and automatic weapons.

December 19, 1947. Haganah terrorists attacked an Arab village near Safad, blowing up two houses, in the ruins of which were found the bodies of 10 Arabs, including 5 children. Haganah admitted responsibility for the attack.

1947 -- 1948. Over 700,000 Palestinian Arabs were uprooted from their homes and land, and forced to live in refugee camps on Israel's borders. They have been denied the right to return to their homes. They have been refused compensation for their homes, orchards, farms and other property stolen from them by the Israeli government. After their expulsion, the "Israeli Forces" totally obliterated (usually by bulldozing) 385 Arab villages and towns, out of a total of 475. Commonly, Israeli villages were built on the remaining rubble.

January 1, 1948. Haganah terrorists attacked a village on the slopes of Mount Carmel; 17 Arabs were killed and 33 wounded.

January 4, 1948. Haganah terrorists wearing British Army uniforms penetrated into the center of Jaffa and blew up the Serai (the old Turkish Government House) which was used as a headquarters of the Arab National Committee, killing more than 40 persons and wounding 98 others.

May11, 1948. A letter bomb addressed to Sir Evelyn Barker, former Commanding Officer in Palestine, was detected in the nick of time by his wife.

April 25, 1948 -- May 13, 1948. Wholesale looting of Jaffa was carried out following armed attacks by Irgun and Haganah terrorists. They stripped and carried away everything they could, destroying what they could not take with them.

THE SS PATRIA.

November 25, 1940. In September, 1940, around 3,000 Jewish refugees from Vienna, Prague and Danzig were attempting to reach Palestine. In a convoy of four river steamers, they set sail down the Danube and reached the Romanian port of Tulcea where they transferred to three Greek cargo ships named Atlantic, Pacific and Milos. Conditions on board these three ships were horrendous, reminiscent of Japanese hell-ships later in the war. Eventually the ships reached Palestinian waters, but the British Colonial Office refused them permission to land. It was finally decided to deport the refugees to the island of Mauritius where a special camp was to be built. The three ships were then brought into Haifa harbour where the liner Patria was berthed. The refugees were then embarked on the Patria and as the last passengers from the Atlantic were coming on board, a tremendous explosion ripped the liner apart. The death toll amounted to 267 refugees killed. The explosion was the work of the Jewish underground army, the Haganah, who had meant only to damage the ship to prevent it sailing but had miscalculated the amount of explosives needed to disable the ship. Many say that this was no miscalculation and was deliberate murder of Jews by Jews, in an attempt to influence British immigration policy to Palestine.

A LIGHT UNTO THE NATIONS.

The first act of air piracy in the history of civil aviation was carried out by Israel, in Dec. 1954, when a civilian Syrian airliner was forced down in Tel Aviv and its passengers and crew held for days, despite international condemnation.

In 1968, Israeli commandos blew up 13 civilian airliners at Beirut airport in Lebanon.

The first deliberate shooting down a civilian airliner was carried out by Israel, when a Libyan airliner was shot down by Israeli jet fighters over Sinai, in Feb. 1973, on the direct orders of Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, killing all 107 of its passengers and the entire French crew.

But, Jews are good, Muslims are evil, RIGHT?

Predating your list, perhaps the idea of terrorism was obtained from the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who worked with Nazi Germany's Hitler. Ya think?

Haj Amin al-Husseini

From as early as 1920, in order to secure the independence of Palestine as an Arab state he actively opposed Zionism, and was implicated as a leader of a violent riot that broke out over the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine.[5] From 1921 to 1937[6] al-Husseini was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, using the position to promote Islam and rally a non-confessional Arab nationalism against Zionism.[7]

His opposition to the British peaked during the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. In 1937, evading an arrest warrant, he fled Palestine and took refuge in, successively, the French Mandate of Lebanon and the Kingdom of Iraq, until he established himself in Italy and Germany. During World War II he actively collaborated with both Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, meeting Adolf Hitler personally and asking him to back Arab independence. He requested, as part of the Pan-Arab struggle, Hitler's support to oppose the establishment in Palestine of a Jewish national home. He was promised the leadership of the Arabs after German troops had driven out the British.[citation needed] He helped recruit Muslims for the Waffen-SS. At war's end, he came under French protection, and went to Cairo to avoid prosecution.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haj_Amin_al-Husseini

The Waffen SS committed war crimes in occupied territory and at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial a large number of its leaders were executed.

As far as muslims being evil, well, here are some examples so the readers of this thread can decide.

Amen. The Abrahamic covenant was unconditional. It was given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Forever. It was not given to Ishmael.

Genesis 13:14 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, onorthward and southward and eastward and westward, 15 for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. 16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. 17 Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.”

Genesis 15:[18] In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
[19] The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
[20] And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
[21] And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Are the physical offspring as of the dust of the earth, innumerable, beyond numbering. I think not!

Who are the seed of Abraham?

Galatians 3:16-29
16. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19. Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28.There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.


The true seed of Abraham are those redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, not the unbelieving Jews who now occupy the land of Israel.

We also read in Hebrews how Abraham understood the promise of God:

Hebrews 11:8-19
8. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10. For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11. Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12. Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

17. By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19. Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.


God tells us in the above passage that Abraham had an entirely different understanding of the so-called "land covenant" than do those of dispensational persuasion. That "better country", that "heavenly country", that "city which God prepared" which "Abraham desired" was the New Jerusalem of Revelation 21, 22!

We reward criminals here, so why not reward invaders there?

...Are you implying that Palestinians invaded Palestine?

I am. That land, and so much more, belongs to Israel as God has promised.

You mean DNA Israel, right? (DNA is extremely important to Dispensationlism) Considering recent findings in genome research I don't see how anyone could consider Palestinians to be invaders in their own land:

Jews Are The Genetic Brothers Of Palestinians, Syrians, And Lebanese

"...according to a new scientific study, Jews are the genetic brothers of Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese, and they all share a common genetic lineage that stretches back thousands of years"

The shared genetic heritage of Jews and Palestinians

""... Arabs and Jews are essentially a single population, and that Palestinians are slap bang in the middle of the different Jewish populations."

Mideast Jews, Palestinians Virtually Genetically Identical

Scientific Journal Axes Gene Research On Jews And Palestinians

"A keynote research paper showing that Middle Eastern Jews and Palestinians are genetically almost identical has been pulled from a leading journal.
Academics who have already received copies of Human Immunology have been urged to rip out the offending pages and throw them away.

Such a drastic act of self-censorship is unprecedented in research publishing and has created widespread disquiet, generating fears that it may involve the suppression of scientific work that questions Biblical dogma......"

".....The paper, 'The Origin of Palestinians and their Genetic Relatedness with other Mediterranean Populations', involved studying genetic variations in immune system genes among people in the Middle East.

In common with earlier studies, the team found no data to support the idea that Jewish people were genetically distinct from other people in the region. In doing so, the team's research challenges claims that Jews are a special, chosen people and that Judaism can only be inherited.

Jews and Palestinians in the Middle East share a very similar gene pool and must be considered closely related and not genetically separate, the authors state. Rivalry between the two races is therefore based 'in cultural and religious, but not in genetic differences', they conclude......"
