Hagee? How about scripture

“On that day, when ALL the nations of earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for ALL the nations.”

Zachariah 12:3

Interesting take on things.

The Brits DO NEED TO BE CALLED OUT for this.

Saudi and Qatar money is interfering throughout the EU, BTW . . . not to mention the Clinton Crime Syndicate.

I often wonder if Obama is going to turn up a $Billionaire in a few years . . . claiming some lucky/wise investments. His cut (even shared with Kerry and Hillary) of the Iran pay-off would be a good start.

Donald Trump must MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN or the alternative will be economic inferiority to other nations.

The UK is further down the road and hence more dependent on the Saudis-Gulf Arabs and China......

Indeed they did. The British set aside 3/4 of 1922 as a Judenfrei state. They then began restricting Jewish migration to and increasing Arab migration to the British Mandate for the creation of a Jewish State in Palestine. They followed by appointing an anti-Jewish Fanatic, Haj Amin al Husseini as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who returned the favor by being allied to the Nazis. Wves of Muslim mass murder of Jews were responded to by disarming Jews and arresting any group of Jews who defended themselves. In 1947-48, the British did everything they could to ensure that the Muslims would have their own final solution to the Jewish question.
Some on the right have never forgiven Israel for surviving this campaign, while the left follows the communist war on Israel. I appreciate your alliance to Stalin and the Cultural Marxists

rmlew has it largely right in #44. You are partially right in that Israel became “Isreal” post-WWII however that was when they DIVIDED (partitianed) the “Jewish National Home” into Trans-Jordan and Israel in 1947.

FYI the “Jewish National Home” would be defined in 1917 as:
“All ‘depopulated’ and ‘wasted’ land, delineated as ‘Palestine’ or ‘South Syria’—east of the Jordan River to the Hejaz (Arabia) and west of the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea—in 1917 would be pledged by League of Nations mandate to ‘close settlement’ by Jews for their ‘Jewish National Home.’” It was formally mandated to the British by 52 of the governments assembled at the League of Nations on July 24, 1922.

"You are partially right in that Israel became “Isreal” post-WWII..."

That's not just "partially right".

I'd say you have it backwards. It is partially right in that there was a homeland established in 1917. But that in no way was the founding of Israel. It is "largely right", if not entirely right, that Israel was created by the UN after WWII, as I said.
