Responding to Friday's anti-Israel resolution in the United Nations Security Council, Rabbi Ben-Dahan said, "I would like to bless you, that we will tell the nations of the world - precisely from the eternal capital of Israel - we did not conquer a foreign country, but this is our country and we returned to it so that we would never leave it again. Whether the nations of the world want it or not, the land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel. This is our home."

“What kind of Christian doubts that?”
Oh, the kind that reads the Old Testament.
Though God *can* do His will without relying on armies killing children in His name, He has quite often chosen to do things in just that way.
Pacifism is not a tenet of Christianity.
Onward Christian soldiers.
At one point, God told them to kill every man, woman and child when they took an area because He, in His Divine foreknowledge, knew what would happen by the hand of those people many years later.
The Israelites must have had some hand-wringing leftist types even back then and now today the descendants of those not wiped out are doing their darndest to remove the Jewish people from the face of the earth.
If they had done it right the first time they/we wouldn’t be having a lot of the mideast problems we are having today.
Imagine you're some Palestinian guy and you are informed that your family's falafel patch is actually owned by a bunch of Ukrainian Jews who have never even seen the Holy Land before.
The Old Testament does not support these views. And we have the New Testament to consider. What would have happened if a secular humanist state filled with atheists from Europe established itself on God's land in Old Testament times? What do you think God would have done? The OT gives us there are plenty of examples.
If the Jews had not become faithless and had not turned their backs against God, we would likewise not have these problems today.
“The Old Testament does not support these views.”
It most certainly does. Everyone the least bit familiar with the Bible knows that.
Punching out here before things get flakier.

>> “Why does Israel acquire the land by bulldozer and bullets?” <<
False dilemma!!!!
Israel has acquired the land by fighting back and winning when they are attacked.
The land is all theirs; they won it all by being victorious in every filthy arab attack.
And John Hagee has no clue about any of it.

>> “The Old Testament does not support these views” <<
Nonsense, it demands them.
It began with the jubilee year in 1917. The jubilee requires that all land be returned to its rightful owners.
The Amalekites (falsely called palestinians) have no claim on the land of any kind.
On the next jubilee year, 1967, the Arabs attacked at Yom Kippur and were totally defeated by forces with 1/20th of the weaponry they posessed, and Israel gained the presently held lands, as recognized by international law.
Israel is the rightful owner as declared by the scriptures, and that is why they have prevailed in every Arab attack.

But he is in no way familiar with the Bible.

I believe they have indeed bought much of the land they occupy.
“I believe they have indeed bought much of the land they occupy.”
The limeys were in charge of the Palestine Mandate, and were supposed to give the Jews a homeland out of it.
Instead, they tried to backstab the Jews and give it all to the pigdog murder muzzies.
The Jews paid for their homeland in blood.
You know what he's got? Amazing Grace! There's music in his blood. That's what sets us and Islam apart. They have nothing beautiful, nothing in their hearts but the hatred they are preached from the Koran.
This one is for you:
Andre Rieu.Scotland the Brave......Thats several tissues in the bin. I could hardly contain the rush of kami energy.(Sparks off the ends of my hair!)
sniff sniff...I know. Myself and the other half blubbered through it together. How starved we are of real music! My goodness, the nostalgia in that hall was palpable...he’s a treasure.
Great music!
Y’know, the Jordanians don’t want the West Bank Arabs, and the Egyptians don’t want the Gaza Arabs.
The have both slaughtered large numbers of them and kicked them out.
yes but that’s how it probably has to go, since most of the Moslems in Israel are really Jordanian or Egyptian in origin anyway (and Syrian, but I couldn’t suggest sending anyone back to Syria while Obama’s carnage is underway there...they’ll do just fine in Jordan/Egypt where there are somewhat sensible governments and relative peace prevails in the streets)
