The question is, Can the Jews hold onto Israel(Palestine) for another 400 years like the Ottoman Turks? Especially Israel is surrounded by 100 million hostile Arabs.

The US has vetoed an Arab resolution at the UN Security Council condemning Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories as an obstacle to peace. All 14 other members of the Security Council backed the resolution, which had been endorsed by the Palestine Liberation Organisation.

The new nation of Israel did not win its statehood by warfare. It was granted independence after WW2 when great and noble leaders of the world whom saw the horrors of global war decided on behalf of a decimated mankind to come together to end wars and conquests of colonialism.
More so for Israel when the moral reprehension was shown to a sleeping world, of unarmed men women and children were systematically murdered to the tune of 6 million for not crimes of their own, but crimes committed by a greedy minority of them whom made used of ethnicity and religion, hide behind it and hated for centuries by others for it, so much so the entire ethnic group was blamed for it.
The ME was a historical land, where our current civilisation sprang from. Neither the Ottoman Turks or the English had a right of ownership to those land in the first place, just as they had no rights to own China or Asia. It was only morally right to return that historical site to its claimants - the arabs and jews, but to be share amongst them as agreed upon by majority of nations then in the once noble institution called the UN right after the global war.
The arabs, even though long had no issues with the jews during the rule of the invaders, but instigated by others through fears after WW2, chosed not to share, and with their pathetic war methods and equipment went to fight against an Israel supported by the world and the military might that US was, and lost.
By right of conquest, those additional lands beyond the borders of the declared land of Israel belongs to Israel. But 'right of conquest' no longer holds in our modern civilisation. To agree that it holds would mean a repudiation of the UN charter, and whomever is the strongest in military might OR guerilla warfare has the right to murder, loot and occupy his neigbours land, subjecting mankind yet again to the mistakes and horrors of war!
If Imperial England, Spain and France could do the morally right thing to return lands won by conquest to its people, why not the state of Israel, which was created out of the goodwill and support of majority of mankind? With such goodwill and support, it will last another 400 years and more, as long as mankind denounces violence and wars as achievements to be sought for.
But if it imperially conducts its zionist policy of conquest, it will only be a matter of time be destroyed, NOT by muslims, but by mankind whom only seeks to be free to pursue common aspirations in life we humans share - arabs, jews, christians, black, white, male, female, etc, etc.

God has nothing to do with it..
The USS Liberty was a string of communication and identification errors made in the heat of battle. It's one of those unfortunate things that happens now and then, a blue on blue.
A communication to the Israeli Ambassador on June 10, by Secretary Rusk stated, among other things: “At the time of the attack, the USS Liberty was flying the American flag and its identification was clearly indicated in large white letters and numerals on its hull. … Experience demonstrates that both the flag and the identification number of the vessel were readily visible from the air…. Accordingly, there is every reason to believe that that the USS Liberty was identified, or at least her nationality determined, by Israeli aircraft approximately one hour before the attack. … The subsequent attack by the torpedo boats, substantially after the vessel was or should have been identified by Israeli military forces, manifests the same reckless disregard for human life
I've been shot at by my own side and know just how easy it can happen.
The land is Israeli land, and if they want to build on it, let someone stop them.

How is it remotely fair that a staff member can engage in opinion based debates with the ability to erase posts and give warnings? When staff here start pushing their opinions about debates as heated those concerning the middle east then i would say that is ill advised or part of an agenda.
DOES ATS HATE MUSLIMS?????? that is what is becoming the issue here. Point me to one staff member here that would question the holocaust or demand the re-construction of Palestine?

Hamas, an MB created organization that wishes only the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people, are the enemy Israel faces.
You seem to think that these poor little Arabs are just being bullied around, when in fact, you don't understand Islamic extremism in the slightest.
