Yep, just checked Genesis and it was given to old Abe and his descendants.
May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham, so that you may take possession of the land where you now reside as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.

In which case, it would also belong to descendants of Jacob who's ancestors converted to another religion.

Equally, it would not belong to Jews who had converted from other religions, and are not descendants of Jacob.

But then like I said, you don't interpret the Bible literally.

Hamas is always to be blamed as they have no reason for conflict with the Jews.
You seem to ignore that the arabs started this whole mess in 1948.

The Bible says Israel will exist again when the dead are resurrected - in the valley of the bones.

It says nothing about a state being recommended by the UN, founded on terrorism, and financed by selling stolen Palestinian lands to the JNF.

That verse is my literal interpretation, which i apply to the entire Bible. You lied about my take on the Bible.
For those who left their "first love", then they would no be part of the Kingdom.
How many made it into Egypt during the time of Moses?

In 1967 the Palestinians were mostly a population who had been expelled from their homes, and/or refused the right of return. As that has changed, so has the position of the Arab countries, which weren't prepared to recognise Israel under any circumstances.

As I've demonstrated before, Hamas' position is closer to international consensus, and international law, than is Israel's position.

Dusty

What you make clear is that despite all the rhetoric, it has never been convenient for the Arab world to accept Israel in any form at any time.

What reasons given in the video do you not accept?

Dusty

I don't watch videos on RCGroups unless they feature sexy girls, the Beatles or model airplanes.

I doubt whether the Norwegian wife of Ahmad Bouchiki would agree with you.

Not a word about the 1st Resurrection....you like to make stuff up, eh?
I will surely gather them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety.

Zionists started this whole mess when they started to emigrate to Palestine en masse. So it could be reasonably argued that it was the British who started the whole mess, by promising Lord Rothschild a homeland for Jews in Palestine. That was after promising the Arabs self-rule if they rose up against the Ottoman empire, and before the British had even conquered Palestine.

Prior to that, it was Christians who hated Jews, not Muslims.

Israel vacated Gaza.

Like you corrected me; the current conflict; the conflict with Hamas.

Kinda like saying Christians were behind the crusades and inquisitions...lol. I have no tolerance for those who call themselves Christian and maintain a hatred for Christ's Chosen.
Most likely all started with the beginning of the Diaspora.

The current conflict with Hamas started with the first Hamas attack after Israel left Gaza.

Really simple.

This seems to be another recurring theme for you; who hates Jews the most.

Today's issue is who's firing rockets at Israeli citizens.

Really simple.

83 rockets now fired at Israel this evening.
