The Intractable Problem of the Jewish––Arab Claims and Counter Claims as to Who Does this Land Belong To?
Click below to listen:
The British Mandate of Palestine ended with the 1947 Partition Plan. It was accepted by the Jews but rejected by the Arabs. In 1948, five Arab nations declared war on the fledgling Jewish state. And Israel to the Surprise of All won that War and Increased the Size of Her Territory – Israel’s Territory was the Cream Coloured Land and the Orange was the Arabs Land in the 1947 Patrician Plan
The Narrative is told by a Palestinian Academic, Rashid Khalidi. He is an out and out Palestinianist and anti-Zionist.
How are we to respond to the continued Palestinian ‘Resistance?’
In a Nut-shell – the Jews stole Palestine, and are Settlers, and Colonialist. They have no legitimate rights to the Land of Palestine. Zionism is a form of Imperialist Colonialism. It has continued for over 129 years. It is totally illegitimate.
‘From the River (Jordan) to the Sea (Mediterranean).’
‘Juden-Rein – Jews Free!’ Tough nuts on the hapless Jews – You have brought it upon yourselves…blah, blah, blah. The sickness of Palestinianist thinking knows no limit –
So, how are we to respond? Yet is there not another way?
The Return Of Jews To Israel
The Arab figure most prominently associated with assisting Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany during World War II was Hajj Amin al-Husseini (also spelled Haj Amin al-Husseini), the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
Arab Rejectionist Mentality –– Though Israel has continually from 1947 offered to give the Arabs their own state of Palestine, this offer has been repeated several times. Despite this, each proposal has been rejected consistently.
Today, “The Two-State,” choice is all but dead – The ARABS HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME!
But God!

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile. “Because you have said, ‘The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,’ thus says the Lord concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your kinsmen who did not go out with you into exile: …

Behold, a day is coming for the Lord, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward. And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. …

I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” But what is God’s reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. …

Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. …

And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?” And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. …

And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.
