The Palestinians are an entirely fabricated people. Why do they all have Egyptian, Saudi, Jordanian, Syrian and Lebanese surnames? Because they all came to Israel to find work and like the Turks in Germany, they simply never went home.
Another FACT:
Q: What is a Palestinian Oxymoron?
A: Palestinian Archaeology.
Despite decades of intensive research and digging all over Israel and the Levant not a single shard of so called Palestinian archaeology has ever been found. Meanwhile Israelis are having to build more and larger museums to house the enormous Biblical archeological finds that are being discovered every day proving their 3500 year old ownership of the land.
The Arabs in Israel weren’t “Palestinians” either. When Mark Twain travelled extensively through the Levant he said he found it almost entirely empty and a desert in ruin. Yet a Jewish remnant always lived there. And, as I said, the archaeology speaks for itself. Let alone what the Israeli’s have achieve on there OWN land. If the Palestinians love their land so much why haven’t they developed it like the Israelis have, especially given the billions the Palestinians are given every year to do just that. Yet the money goes on bonds and tunnels and hate.
Put yourself in the Israelis’ shoes. If 4000 missiles were flying overhead (from Mexico) and hitting, San Diego, Houston, and Phoenix; do you think anyone in the USA would have an issue with bombing (& eliminating) the source of those missiles? Why do people suddenly become hypocrites when judging the sovereign nation of Israel’s actions?
The latest round of 4000 rockets shot from Hamas was supposedly instigated by Israeli landlords “forcibly removing“ Arab tenants who were rightfully there. This is a lie. The Muslims had refused to pay for years and the court finally ruled in the landlord’s favor. So….. landlords are not allowed to collect rent? And if tenants refuse to pay, they are not allowed to be evicted? The Arabs (so called Palestinians) will use any argument to start a fight.
Just because someone is stronger in a fight doesn’t mean they tie both hands behind their back to make it fair! This is a strange argument people use. Look at the bigger picture; the tiny nation of Israel is surrounded by 21 Arab & Muslim countries (with the combined land area of the USA), and Israelis are being called selfish & greedy for wanting sovereignty over their small strip of land. The real issue is Islam’s commands to murder, rape, maim, steal, abuse, and disposes every Jew they find and then drive them into the Sea! Remove Islam from the equation and the problem will dissipate. Islam’s most authoritative Hadith (Bukhari 4:52:177) says this,
“Allah’s apostle said: The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say: “Oh Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so come and kill him!”
Neither the Jews nor the Arabs (who are wrongly called Palestinians) are descendants of the Philistines (wiped out by Egypt); nor are they descendants Canaanites who were dissipated from the land. Both of these peoples (Canaanites & Philistines) have been gone from the Land of Israel for several thousand years.
The Jews never dispossessed the Arabs from Israel. The other Arab nations around Israel commanded the Arabs (so called Palestinians), who are mostly from those other Arab countries ethnically, to leave Israel! Then the Arab armies would destroy the Jews and their Arab brothers could move back. This is a fact of history attested to by Arab leaders and historical record. The Jews did not drive out the Arabs living in the land of Israel, the Arab countries around Israel caused the refugee crisis.

The secular post-modern world’s continual use of the phrase Palestine is seeking to normalize a land that has never existed. If the early Israelis had some help from the British that is a drop in the bucket which does not compensate for the extreme odds of 600 trained Israeli soldiers against 1 million Arab soldiers in the 1948 war of survival. The Arabs and Muslims are guilty of attacking Israel; Israel is merely guilty of defending itself. This is a world of difference and can never be equivocated.
There is only Spiritual blindness for those who fight against and hate Israel. Don’t you find it odd, the more the Muslims spew hatred and violence at Israel the more they go backwards! This was promised in scripture: “those who hate and curse Israel I will curse.”
I agree that Israel has not been perfect in it’s history – that’s why Yahweh judged them. I also agree many in modern day Israel are secular, Godless, and may be oppressive in business practices. We can not equate them to believers in the Messiah. But we are seeing God put prophecy together and know He has near plans for their restoration. This should excite every believer in Christ. Scripture commands us to pray for them and we should be on their side instead of against them. We should definitely be against those who seek to ‘push them into the sea.’
Yes Israel is still ‘away’ from the Lord, but Yahweh is sovereignly placing them where they can come back to Him. We are supposed to pray for them and understand God still has a primary place of importance for them in the End Times. This is not because they are naturally good people but because Yahweh will fulfill His covenant with them. During the 1,000-Year Reign (Zech. 14:9, 16-17; Rev. 20), King Jesus will rule the whole earth from Jerusalem. The Jews will have a special place during that time. If you choose to reject and despise Israel and say there is nothing special about them (also called: Replacement Theology)….. be prepared for other facets of Spiritual blindness!
