they would love use. we could give the israelites some land like we did the indians. and make a doctrine were they could still visit the holy land.

Israel is definitely a flash point in the mideast and a big reason why there is such a reift between the US and most of the Muslim world.   I have no clue why we continue to support them to the extent that we do ---- likley due all the political contributions in the US ---- We let Israel have a secret nuclear weapons cache, but we threaten Iran for the same thing - no wonder we are viewed the way we are.   I am not saying give the land back. but clearly the borders need to be reset and a lot more settlements taken down --- The US policy on Israel has not worked in the US's favor in over 4 decades ---- It really needs to change

It is not fair.  \n\nFurthermore, it is stupid to have Israel planted in the heart of the muslim world, why not in Western Europe where they lived before.  The Jews didn't care they almost went to Africa for thier holy land, and they were turned away by America... It is all US interventions that is causing the holocaust taking place right now against the Palestinians and we should all do our best to stop it.

Yes they are being used but they know it.  They are as bent on the distruction of Israel and all Jews as the others.

If they are both Biblical (not dogmatic and legalistic) Christians. I don't see why not.  Cultural differences can be a stumbling block no matter what.  Its up to them to decide whether its worth it.

Israel is a very small piece of land. God promised this to Abraham, Isaac, and (Jacob later called Israel). God said I will bless them that bless you and I will curse them that curse you. If God was not on Israel's side it would be owned by the Palestinians by now.

Not a good idea.\n\nExtremist Religious Fanatics will come and blow it up.

After WWII and the Nazi persecution of the Jews, the UN and the world leaders set up a secular nation of Israel at the beckoning of SECULAR ZIONISTS. This is not the "Kingdom" of Israel and has nothing to do with any Bible restoration prophecy. People today (“Christian Zionists”) think it is according to prophecy, but they are seriously mistaken. Any restoration prophecies that really pertain to literal Israel were fulfilled long ago when they were released from Babylonian captivity. Any newer prophecies are fulfilled in a new Israel which is not the literal nation of Israel, but rather a spiritual nation of people made up of every nation and tongue today. Their Jerusalem is a heavenly one. Their capital city is a heavenly government ruled by the resurrected Christ Jesus.\n\nJesus Christ, near the end of his lfe, stood on the hill overlooking Jerusalem and the temple....looked down at it and condemned their relationship with God.\n\nNow....looking at the modern situation...it gets very interesting....you see there are a great many Christian Zionists who think that Israel is still favored by God and they feel the Israelites have a god-given right to palestine....these people have HUGE pull in the affairs of the governments which support Israel. Believe it or not this zionist movement will do anything to prevent the current peace efforts from proceeding because they do not want Israel to loose any of their "god-given" land. (The peace plans or "road map to peace" calls for them to loose some)\nThese people interestingly think they are going to be raptured off the world scene so they do not have to deal with any of the nasty results of their meddleing. The Christian zionists are sadly mistaken and bad things will come from their involvement.....(They already have).\n\nGoing on.....ponder this....just 3 days before the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the US.....the United States and Israel walked out of the UN conference on racism...they turned their backs on the world community who had passed a resolution that stated that zionism equals racism. This conference was planned for years......the arab community for years planned to present this resolution at this very conference......I wonder.....Could it be.....that this was in fact the TRIGGER for the attacks on the WTC in New York and the pentagon? Were these Al Khada terrorists poised and waiting for this walk out? I say this is a possibility, but what do I know? This presents the question.....If the US was not so motivated by Christian Zionists and their political influence, would there have been an attack? Would Muslims have the same view that they have of Americans today? Thanks for asking this question.

cause UK and the UN has gave themselves the right to give away to the jews something they dont own,despite the will of the ppl who own it.\nand then the jews wanted also to drive the real owners of the place out!!!\nThats why war btw Muslims & israeli will continue till the jews get out of this land that dont belong to them,or at least accept to live in peace under the control of the palastinians who r the real owners of the land.

Israel is our problem too, if your a Christian especially. Moses led them out of Egypt to the Holy Land. That is our home to live when Jesus comes back. Why would we allow some country to want them blown up? I wish Iran's good people could over throw the evil leadership, then we wouldn't mind if they had nukes. Just get the supporters of terrorism out!! Please

Dear derekmleiniger,\n\nYour analogy is totally wrong. Unlike English and other establishers of USA, Israelis started to kill the Palestinians grabbing their land and not ready to give any rights to them. The only reason that Palestinians are facing hard time is that they don't have any port and can't do business activities independently. \n\nWhile only reason Israelis look flourishing is the aid sent by the oversees Jews as well as hefty amount of $ 3 billion from US only.\n\nFollowing is an account of Israel's leaders, you can find it very different compares to people who came to US:\n\n\n\n"We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population."\n-- David Ben-Gurion, May 1948, to the General Staff.   From Ben-Gurion, A Biography, by Michael Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York 1978.\n\n"There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?"\n-- Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp. 121-122.\n\n"Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population."\n-- David Ben Gurion, quoted in The Jewish Paradox, by Nahum Goldmann, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1978, p. 99.\n\n \nDavid Ben Gurion\nPrime Minister of Israel\n1949 - 1954,\n1955 - 1963\n\n  \n"Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories."\n-- Benyamin Netanyahu, then Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister, former Prime Minister of Israel, speaking to students at Bar Ilan University, from the Israeli journal Hotam, November 24, 1989.\n  \nBenjamin Netanyahu\nPrime Minister of Israel\n1996 - 1999\n"The Palestinians are like crocodiles, the more you give them meat, they want more".... \n-- Ehud Barak, Prime Minister of Israel at the time - August 28, 2000.

The first of these is that there is no Zionism, colonialization, or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands."\n-- Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of militants from the extreme right-wing Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, November 15, 1998.\n\n"Everybody has to move, run and grab as many (Palestinian) hilltops as they can to enlarge the (Jewish) settlements because everything we take now will stay ours...Everything we don't grab will go to them."\n-- Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of the Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, Nov. 15, 1998. \n\n"Israel may have the right to put others on trial,

Elizebeth- All the sheepherders would disagree with that.  Let Israel put up a wall.  Every suicide bomb that the Palestinians use Israel destroys a Palestinian village.  Sooner or later the Palestinians would back down

They can recreate battles. Or let them make their own battle-have them make flags, have the battle, then raise their flag on the conquered land.

Hello dear!\nFirst, by the time you ask about our beliefs, most will reply that the land was meant for them, regardless that others had founded cities centuries before the Israelis moved there.\nAnother issue is History: When was Israel? How and who pushed for the formation of Israel there? What were the trade-abouts?\nMore, the striking power of Israel, the USA, G. Britain and others from that side is much stronger that that of Palestinians!

Absolutely!  Israel is a civilized country amidst a gaggle of fanatics who don't even acknowledge their right to exist.  The land they occupy is their land, altough they lost it for 2000 years. They got their land back through the support of civilized governments and the UN. Civilized countries will continue to support their right to their home land and their right to exist. This is one more reason for the UN to hang tough on the Iran issue of nuclear power.  Iran is one country that would deny Israel its right to exist.
