“Re: Opposition to peace agreements, that has more to do with the fact that Israel’s enemies never seem to hold up their end of the bargain”
Actually, neither side has a good record of holding up their side of past agreements.
“We’re also against carving up Jerusalem. It is not for those who claim to follow the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to hand over the city where God has put His Name to pagan enemies—and that’s where I have to characterize the Muslims.”
It appears to me that dispensationalists pick and choose their verses in the OT and ignore the NT:
(Jeremiah 7:6-7) “IF you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and IF you do not follow other gods to your own harm, THEN I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your forefathers for ever and ever.”
”If you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you” (Leviticus 18:28).
I think Scripture is pretty clear.

The ultimate defilement of the land was the murder of the King of kings which Israel accomplished by the hands of lawless men (Acts 2:23). There will be no blessing upon Israel until they fall on the Rock of offense and are broken by faith (Matt 21:44). Once Christ appears in the heavens it will be too late.
