God Gave Israel to the Jews, the descendants of Jacob, renamed Israel
by GOD

Genesis 15:7 (KJV) 7 And he said unto him [Abraham], I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

Genesis 15:18-21 18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates : 19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites , 20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims , 21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Genesis 17:1 1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect

Genesis 17:7-8 7 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 . 8 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 .

Genesis 17:18-21 18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee ! 19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation . 21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

Exodus 6:2-8 2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD : 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. 4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers . 5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant . 6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments : 7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians . 8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD .

Numbers 33:50-56 50 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying , 51 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan ; 52 Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places : 53 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. 54 And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man’s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit. 55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell . 56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

Numbers 34:1-12 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying , 2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) 3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward : 4 And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon : 5 And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea . 6 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border . 7 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor : 8 From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad : 9 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border . 10 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham : 11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward : 12 And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.

Joshua 1:1-6 (Regarding the misused slogan: “FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA”)

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying , 2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel . 3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses . 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

Joshua 24:2-13 2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods . 3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac . 4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt . 5 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out . 6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea . 7 And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season . 8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you. 9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you: 10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand . 11 And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand . 12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow . 13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.

THE JEWS SHALL BE RETURNED TO THEIR LAND

Deuteronomy 30:1-5 1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul ; 3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

Isaiah 11:10-12  And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and His rest shall be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Path´-ros, and from Cush, and from E´-lam, and from Shi´-nar, and from Ha´-math, and from the islands of the sea. And He shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

Isaiah 27:12-13  And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem. 

Jerimiah 29:10 For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform My good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

Ezekiel 11:16-20 16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come . 17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel . 18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence. 19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh : 20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

Ezekiel 20:33-42 33 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: 34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out . 35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face . 36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD . 37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant : 38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD . 39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also , if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols . 40 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things . 41 I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen. 42 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.

Ezekiel 36:24-38 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord God; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded. And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it. Thus saith the Lord God; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Ezekiel 38:8 8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

Joel 3:1-2 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted My land.

Amos 9:11-15 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: That they may possess the remnant of E´-dom, and of all the heathen, which are called by My name, saith the Lord that doeth this. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And I will bring again the captivity of My people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.

Micah 4:1-2 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Micah 4:1-2 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

ISHMAEL

Genesis 16:11-12 11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael ; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. 12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

Genesis 17:18-21 18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee ! 19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him . 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation . 21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

BLESSINGS AND CURSES

Genesis 12:1-3 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Numbers 24:1-9 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him. And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Be´-or hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters. He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.

Zephaniah 2:4-11 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the Lord is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks. And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the Lord their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity. I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached My people, and magnified themselves against their border. Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of My people shall spoil them, and the remnant of My people shall possess them. This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Lord of hosts. The Lord will be terrible unto them: for He will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship Him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.

Zechariah 2:6-13 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord. Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath He sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye. For, behold, I will shake Mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me. Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be My people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee. And the Lord shall inherit Judah His portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for He is raised up out of His holy habitation.

Zechariah 12:1-4 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. In that day, saith the Lord, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open Mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.

Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague where with the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Excerpts from OP-ED written by Rabbi Professor Dov Fischer

(An Orthodox rabbi of 41 years, and national vice president of Coalition for Jewish Values, which represents 2,500 traditional rabbis. He is a law professor of 20 years. Much of his last decade’s work and opinion can be found here.)

G-d’s pledge to Abraham the Patriarch that He will bless those who bless the Jewish people and will curse those who curse the Jews. Genesis 12:3. History has evidenced G-d’s word. Ancient Babylonians dominated until they invaded Israel, burned the Holy Temple of Solomon, and exiled most Jews from Israel/Palestine. That began the downfall of Nebuchadnezzar’s dynasty, the famous handwriting on the wall. Daniel 5:25-26.

As England and France expelled their Jews in the late 1200s and early 1300s, they became dumps, soon were wiped out amid the Black Death bubonic plague of 1348-1351, and history’s spotlight moved instead to Spain and Portugal, the next great world powers who became world leaders in exploring the Americas. Then in 1492 Spain expelled her Jews, Portugal five years later, and within a century the Spanish Armada was destroyed in 1588. The Iberian peninsula no longer mattered to world history to this day.

For reasons only of length, I jump to the Twentieth Century. England was assigned the Palestine Mandate by the League of Nations after World War I, with the mandate to prepare Israel/Palestine to be a Jewish national home. The perfidious Albion soon deviated, choosing to hold Israel/Palestine as yet another colony among its colonialist holdings. As England barred Jewish immigrants from entering Israel’s/Palestine’s borders or even blowing shofars at the Western Wall, a Jewish liberation movement arose to de-colonize Israel/Palestine, restoring the land to its rightful Jewish indigenous people. Palestine became free in 1948, and its name formally was changed to “Israel.”

England had defied Genesis 12:3, and its empire shriveled. Nazi Germany defied Genesis 12:3, and it was destroyed to rubble by the Allies. The Communist Marxist Soviet Union persecuted the Jews, and that mighty empire crumbled. Through it all, G-d has blessed America.

America — through its leaders and institutions — always has stood with and protected its Jews. This was true of George Washington who wrote to the Jews that “happily the Government of the United States gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” It was true of Abraham Lincoln who acted decisively when anti-Semitism erupted briefly in the Union army. It was true of President William Howard Taft when he and Congress abrogated the Russo-American Treaty of 1832 after Tsarist Russia imprisoned a Jewish American citizen traveling in Russia. And in the more recent era, it has been true, supporting Israel and Zionism, the Jewish right to be free and independent in Israel/Palestine.

Some have incorrectly believed there is segregation in the old city of Jerusalem where there are four so-called “quarters.” As Wikipedia writes:

The Muslim Quarter . . . is one of the four sectors of the ancient, walled Old City of Jerusalem. . . . Wikipedia explains that those “quarters” are not literally segregated ghettoes. Rather, these are historical names dating back to an 1840s effort by a British cartographer to map out the Old City:

The Old City is today divided into four uneven quarters: the Muslim Quarter, the Christian Quarter, the Armenian Quarter and the Jewish Quarter. Matthew Teller writes that this four-quarter convention may have originated in the 1841 British Royal Engineers map of Jerusalem, or at least Reverend George Williams' subsequent labelling [sic] of it.

Despite the names, there was no governing principle of ethnic segregation: 30 percent of the houses in the Muslim quarter were rented out to Jews, and 70 percent of the Armenian quarter.

Another leftist, woke misconception: the contemporary defamation about “apartheid.” In the Middle East, Gaza is apartheid; NO Jews live there. The “Palestine Authority” in a portion of Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”) is apartheid; no Jews may live there. Any Arab who would sell land there to a Jew is to be executed, by law. Saudi Arabia is apartheid, as are 15 other apartheid Muslim and Arab countries that ban Jews.

Israel differs. Israeli Arabs enjoy full equality under law and in practice. They vote in national elections. There are all-Arab parties and other parties with Arab candidates alongside Jews. An all-Arab party associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, Ra’am, was a critical component of the prior governing Israeli coalition. Arab Muslims serve among judges in Israel’s courts and even on Israel’s Supreme Court. Arabs attend Israel’s universities and are among their professors. Israel pays stipends to people to have children, to increase the country’s population; Arabs receive the same Israeli stipends to have Arab babies. Arabs participate equally in every walk of Israeli life, including entertainment, journalism, and high tech. Their holy places are meticulously protected.

Another media-promoted lie involves “colonizers” and “de-colonizers.” When a Mother Country expands its world influence by controlling far-away lands, it is “colonizing.” A classic example: small England colonized from Canada to India to New Zealand to South Africa to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to Australia — and of course to “The Thirteen Colonies.” It once was said that “the sun never sets on the British empire.” Eventually, one by one, those colonies attained their independence, de-colonizing often by driving the British out. When a colonialist entity loses its colonies, its people retreat to the Mother Country, as with England.

In terms of Israel/Palestine, Jews are indigenous, the original inhabitants whom your Bible tells you inherited from the disappeared Phillistines. [“I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn Mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.” (Amos 1:8)]

When Babylonia exiled the Jews, the Bible tells us the Jews returned seventy years after and rebuilt the Holy Temple. Ezra 1-2. When the Romans burned the Second Holy Temple in the Year 70, and thereafter Masada fell in 73, Jews remained in the Land of Israel/Palestine. When Fortress Betar fell in 135, marking the Roman defeat of the desperate Bar Kochba Revolt, Jews remained in Israel/Palestine in places like the Talmudic academy of Yavneh and throughout Galilee. Your Bible says that Jesus lived in Israel/Palestine throughout his entire life, dwelling among Jews, from Galilee in the north, through Judea and Samaria, to Jerusalem and the Holy Temple.

There were no Muslims nor Arabs among Jesus and the indigenous Jews. Islam began half a millennium later with the Muslim Prophet Muhammad in the 600’s.

Jews never left Israel. In the Twentieth Century, long before Hitler and the Nazis, Jews were immigrating back to Israel.

In our time, millions of Arab Muslims have flooded into European countries like Sweden, Germany, France, and England. Are they “colonizers” or “immigrants”? In America, too, is Ilhan Omar a “colonizer” from Somalia? Are the other 43,000 Somali immigrants in Minnesota colonizers? Rashida Tlaib’s parents? AOC’s from Puerto Rico? Kamala Harris’s mother entered from India and her father from Jamaica. Colonizers or immigrants?

Likewise, the millions of Jews, including 900,000 who returned home to Israel/Palestine after being expelled from Arab Muslim countries, arrived as immigrants, hardly “colonizers.”

The “innocent” civilians of Gaza

Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer   Dec 15, 2023, 1:37 PM (GMT+2)

There would be no Hamas in Gaza without the “innocent” citizens of Gaza. They elected them in 2006. There would be no Islamic Jihad in Gaza without the “innocent” citizens of Gaza. They encouraged them.

There were elections. Jimmy Carter was there and said the elections were fair and legitimate. He said he was surprised that Hamas did so well, winning in a landslide, but that was the fair and honest representation of the “innocent” citizens of Gaza.

When the Twin Towers buildings toppled on 9/11, the “innocent” citizens of Gaza were in the streets dancing and celebrating, handing out candies to children to teach them: this is a good thing. Enjoy it. Celebrate it. It is this message in so many words: “That is our culture here in Gaza. When nearly 3,000 infidels in America, mostly Christian but also some Jews, go to work for a day at the office and end up dead, burned in an inferno, and buried under a pile of structural rubble, that is a good thing. Maybe some day you, too, can learn to fly a plane into a building and be a shahid, a martyr, for Allah.” The “innocent” citizens of Gaza.

Through five previous wars with Israel, the “innocent” citizens of Gaza have supported the terrorists. They have played along and made merry. They cheer when rockets kill Jews in Israel. They line the streets to mourn when a terrorist is killed by Israel. The “innocent” citizens of Gaza.

After each of the five previous wars, Netanyahu and his governments agreed to stop fighting without winning. Each time, Hamas declared the ceasefires “victories,” and the “innocent” citizens of Gaza danced in the streets, handed out candies, and celebrated another “victory” over the Zionists. The “innocent” citizens of Gaza.

When Hamas perpetrated its Shabbat Shmini Atzeret massacre of October 7, they came in with maps of the various kibbutz communities they would slaughter. The maps were comprehensive: they showed homes, room by room. They listed people’s names, whether they had house pets, even the names of the dogs. It was remarkably comprehensive. The terrorists knew exactly whom to look for, how many Jews to expect in each home, whether to watch for dogs or avoid them, the best entry point.

How did they know? Where did they get that kind of info on individual homes? That is not on Google Maps. It is not on TikTok. So how did they know with such precision? They got the information from the "innocent" civilians of Gaza. Read on.

It goes back to the “Conceptzia” — the Conception — that highest IDF echelons and Israel's government, both promulgated and adopted in concert with their advisors in the Shin Bet (Israel’s FBI) and Mossad (Israel’s CIA). The Concept was that the “innocent” citizens of Gaza would became regular normal people, like Israelis, like Americans, if they only would be given economic incentives and betterments too good to give up. Make them richer than they ever hoped, than other Arabs in other Arab countries. So Israel allowed Qatar to send hundreds of millions of dollars to the “innocent” citizens of Gaza. Israel allowed concrete and steel and ample fuel to enter the Strip to allow the “innocent” citizens of Gaza, supposedly, to build themselves new, better homes and villas like in the movies.

And, pursuant to the Conceptzia, Israel allowed up to 17,000 — count ‘em, seventeen thousand — “innocent” citizens of Gaza to enter into southern Israel each and every day to work for Jews in that region at wages way, way higher than anything imaginable back in Gaza.

As life’s paradoxes play out, a great many of those Jews in southern Israel were/are peace activists, Jews who pressed Israel to make deals with Yasser Arafat and to trust him. They celebrated the "disengagement," as just. They were delighted to show their trust in the “innocent” citizens of Gaza by employing them in their homes, on their farms. And so the “innocent” citizens of Gaza got to see the layouts of the homes: the rooms, the entry points, the number of people, the number and names of kids, even the dogs.

And then, after each work day, the “innocent” citizens of Gaza went back home. Another day, another shekel. A shekel saved is a Jew burned. They supplied their data learned to Hamas. Many of their kids are in Hamas. Many of them are in Hamas. In all, estimates are that 40,000 Hamas terrorists live and operate in these tunnels that are so extensive that they run 300 miles. That’s a 5-hour drive on a highway. That’s more than the distance from New York City to Boston. More than Nashville to Atlanta. More than Los Angeles to Las Vegas. More than New York to Washington, D.C. A bit less than Louisville to Atlanta. Exactly St. Louis to Chicago.

The Gaza tunnel system is as all-encompassing comprehensive as the New York City subway system, covering everywhere. Hamas turned Gaza into a veritable duplex, two floors, “upstairs” on terra firma and “downstairs” in the tunnels with the rats.

The “innocent” citizens of Gaza knew this was going on. When an exterminator comes to a home in America, people ask them to come incognito so the neighbors do not know. I know when my neighbor is remodeling his kitchen, and he knows when I am clearing out my garage. The moment I do serious garage clearing, realtors descend on my home like vultures in the desert, all smelling a sale. “No,” I respond, “I am just clearing out my garage because I am not a hoarder.” Disappointment shows. “We’ll getcha next time.”

The “innocent” citizens of Gaza knew what was going on all these years. They knew they were not getting villas but tunnels. Not cars but rockets and missile launchers. They knew the shiploads of imports were not TV sets and computers, but rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank missiles.

When they were polled shortly before October 7 by the Washington Institute, 57% supported Hamas. A survey by the Palestinian Center for Research on Policy and Investigations (PCPSR) showed the intensity of that population’s support for terror.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that, on October 7, thousands of Gazan civilians rushed into Israeli towns to assist Hamas, decapitating Jewish children and raping Jewish women. The “innocent” citizens of Gaza

The “poor mothers” of Gaza are not innocent. Journalist Jotam Confino reported on a Hamas terrorist who called his mother on the day of the attack. “I killed 10 Jews with my own hands. I’m using the dead Jewish woman’s phone to call you now.” His mother replied, “May God protect you.”

So spare us with moaning for the poor “innocent” citizens of Gaza. They are poor because they allowed their assets and bounty to be used for building and acquiring the weapons to murder Jews. And they are not innocent.

The Koran (which Muslims believe to be the infallible word of God) clearly states:

Allah assigned Israel to the Jews until the Day of Judgement. It states, Allah said, "Oh People [the Jews], enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned unto you" (SURA 5 VERSE 21). Koran 7:7 states God Himself bequeaths the Land of Israel to the Jew, as a nation who thought themselves weak, and blesses them with goodness.

There is nowhere in the Koran that says that God switched allegiances to Islam. Sheikh Ahmad Adwan, a Muslim scholar living in Jordan, states, "Palestine" does not exist. He stated, "I say to those who distort...the Koran: from where did you bring the name Palestine, you liars, you accursed, when Allah has already named it 'The Holy Land' and bequeathed it to the Children of Israel until the Day of Judgment. There is no such thing as 'Palestine' in the Koran." He also stated, "Your demand for the Land of Israel is a falsehood and it constitutes an attack on the Koran, on the Jews, and their land. Therefore, you won't succeed, and Allah will fail you and humiliate you, because Allah is the one who will protect them." He also called the "Palestinians" "the killers of children, the elderly, and women" by using them as human shields in order to falsely accuse the Jews of targeting them. He reports having seen the same tactic used by "Palestinians" against the Jordanian army in the 1970s.

The TWO STATE “solution” is dead. We gave them a two-state “solution” with Gaza and Israel. Similarly, the Oslo accord and all other agreements have failed. It is them or us; those are the Arab rules of the Middle East, not ours. That is why in Syria 500,000 Arabs have been killed by other Arabs, in Iraq a million and Yemen several million killed.  As God prophesied, “He will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man.” (Genesis 16:12) So why would anyone imagine the Arabs will be any nicer to the Jewish people they are taught to destroy than Arabs are to each other?
