Palestinians are Arabs. There are many wealthy Arab countries with lots of space. Arab countries should take the Palestinians in and give them land
and jobs. Or, Israel should make them citizens if they want to stay.
Israel is a very small strip of land. It had a small population of under 2 million people in 1947. One third were Jews.
Israel was given their land as the Promised Land from the old testament. The historical evidence of this is recognized by many nations. The Jews were
overthrown by the Roman Empire and they were left without a homeland for 2000 years. It's referred to as the "Great Diaspora".
On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly voted 33 to 13, with 10 abstentions, in favor of a Partition Plan that created the State of
Israel. The British relinquished their mandate over Palestine in 1948.
War broke out between the Arabs and Jews soon after. The 1948 Arab-Israeli War, established the state of Israel as an independent state, with the rest
of the British Mandate of Palestine split into areas controlled by Egypt and Transjordan.
Oil rich Arab countries with much more land were holding on to land that had been given to the Israeli people thousands of years ago....and they know
this to be true. They know the land was the Jews before the Roman's came.
On the heels of the Holocaust and after 2 thousand years of struggle for the people of Israel, these Rich Arab countries with lots of wealth and vast
areas of uninhabited land would not give Israel back to it's rightful heirs.
Arabs not happy with the way the land was split up by the UN started the war against Israel. Israel finished the war and took over their land in order
to try and maintain safety and security. In 1967 the Arabs tried to wipe Israel from the face of the earth. Israel army was out numbered 100 to 1 in
what is called the 6 day war. Israel defeated the Arabs against great odds.
The bottom line is that the Palestinian Arabs way of life is vengeance, war, pain, and suffering. That is all they know. They spend all their time
contemplating war and terror attacks. They have done nothing to improve life for anyone on the planet. There way is destruction, not creation. Israel
is responsible for many improvements to civilization. They are a creative and inventive people.
I just wish they could reach the hearts of the Palestinians and usher in Peace.
I don't wish ill will on the Palestinians or Israel people's. All this ant-Israeli talk is dangerous and destructive.
God spoke to Israel as follows, "I will bless them that bless you and I will curse them that curse you".
Every nation that curses Israel is under God's curse. Don't be foolish and bring this curse upon you. Don't mess with Israel. Even the demons of
hell know this and they shutter.
Now be nice. It's Christmas. You should pray for Israel and Bethlehem, the city of peace. Pray of Jerusalem, the city of the Great King. Pray for the
Palestinians and Peace for all.
