God gave what is now Israel to the Jews
It’s theirs
Answer = God
For most of US generations hell-fire Christian preachers condemned Jews as the the ones who killed Christ.
Of course, now we are enlightened due to politics and this has always been a Judeo-Christian nation.
I say it belongs to the Jews. Nothing to do with being Republican, of course.
Bump THAT!
Wrong. The Arab nations called on the Arabs living in Israel to “come out so that we may cleanse the land.”
They abandoned their homes anticipating a quick return after the "war." Unfortunately for them the Arab armies were repelled by the Israelis who were using antiquated and inferior military equipment.
The food in the larders and the water in the cisterns found at the abandoned houses saved the Israelis from starvation and dehydration until they could grow/collect their own resources.
Israel consists of Jews, Muslims and Christians, of European, African and Arab descent, living together under a democratically elected government. So the answer to the question is, “The Israelis do.”
God is the owner, the occupants just rent...
“Who is the rightful owner of the land now occupied by Israel?”
Like the United States, those who will fight for it, deserve to own it. Those who won’t are just mostly traitors and scabs and should go elsewhere.
You know, I think I agree with you; of course, the same could be said of other nations - especially the United States - and of late, we've been lax in "paying the rent" as it were.
God may just decide to evict us and give his blessings to others who give Him the Praise and Honour He desires.
I guess they conveniently forgot that Jesus was born a Jew and that the New Testament is the completion of the story of God’s relationship with His chosen people. The land of Israel was given to them by God and it will always belong to them. It actually has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with God who, unlike politicians, ALWAYS keeps His promises.
Has anyone looked into what kind of rent the Jews could collect if they rented it out and lived in another country?
God's chosen are those who believe in him.

Might is Right bump.
Absolutely.
You've been watching too much Hollywood's presentation of Christianity.
I'm 50 and Southern Baptist and have never in my entire life heard a Protestant preacher down south argue against Jews belonging in Israel as their land.
Where do you get this notion?
Why did you buy into his premise...offered just anecdotally.
It’s a myth.
Like all these new Christians just discovered Jesus was Hebrew...give me a break.
