Q: Who had been living in the land from the time of Abraham to the time of Jesus (Titus/diaspora)?
A: The JEWS.
Q: Who has title to the land?
A: Genesis 15:7- And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it...
"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:
According to the BIBLE Abraham has "TITLE" to the land. And as far as history (not the revisionist Islamic/Nazi kind) they have occupied it all that time with few exceptions (400 years in Egypt after Joseph, Romans drove them out in 70 A.D.)
BTW...In places where the law is respected (CIVILIZED COUNTRIES), TITLE DEED is HONORED.
Thousands of Americans died last week because of your religious beliefs in support of Israel. That is unacceptable and support of the socialist state of israel is unconstitutional. This country should end support of ALL countries in the Middle East immediately.
Also, as you say the land from the River of Egypt to the Cedars of Lebanon to the River Euphrates belongs and was by covenant with God, given to Abram (Abraham) and his seed, which would number as grains of sand.
The reason for the dispersal of the children of Israel was due to their disobedience for failing to take the land as God commanded them and for their reluctance to avoid pagan people. Read Isaiah 48.
Throughout history, secular and sacred, any nation who crossed the children of Israel lost their empires. The last one was...England. Not long after they reneged on the Balfour Declaration in 1947, England began to gradually lose most of her colonies, and the once mighty empire became an island.
Do you remember the UN vote last fall to condemn Israel? For the first time ever we voted with the majority and condemned Israel. Thank you Ms. Albright. We don't need to be cursed, we need God's blessings, now more than ever.
Israel has always been able to defeat her enemies, as small as she is, through divine protection and intervention. And that will ever be, so says the Bible.
May God always bless the USA, and may we never again go against Israel.
