CHRISTIAN RESPONSE: Men have and will endlessly dispute over the possession of lands with varying degrees of truth to their claims. With Israel, it's very different. Israel is the only land on the face of the planet that was directly deeded to a people, and that is to Abraham, then Isaac, then Jacob. We support Israel having their land b/c God gave it to them and has yet a role for them in His eternal plan. There are 7 years yet coming in which God's attention will be turned wholly to Israel once the church in raptured to be with the Lord. The people called Palestinians today have a home and a country, mostly the country of Jordan.

Genesis 17:7-9 - " And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations."

Luke 21:24 - "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."

Isaiah 66:8 - "Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children."
