Supposedly god gave the Jews modern day Israel .....
IUf you look at the promised lands and so forth in the bible it doesn't say anything about Jews getting what we now know as Israel but even if it did can we in the 21st century hold our head up high and say "god said so"?
Where was god while jews burned in ovens? He has the time to give Jews a piece of land but the whole ww2 thing - missing in action - the Lord had a headache that day?
25 million Russians were killedin that war along with multiple millions of British subjects and NO GOD ?
Every time I hear the god said so reasoning I wonder how far from the tree's we really are
So if there is a god where has he been hiding and why is this god involved in land grants and other world politics?

Are you saying that God doesn't exist because He didn't choose to intervene in history the way we think He should have?
Who are we to question God?
I assume by your question, and the paragraph of questions that followed, that you don't believe God exists. I would encourage you to rethink things if you consider yourself an atheist. Atheism is an unreasonable belief. Let me explain...
"Atheist" comes from two Greek words, "Theos" for God, and the negative participle "A-", which is an absolute negative. By definition, a negative absolute cannot be proven. Say, for example, that someone says "there is no such thing as little green men." And let's assume, also, that this person has a spaceship, and the ability to fly that ship all over the universe, and look at every last corner of it. He/she does this, comes back and says "see? No little green men. I went everywhere, and never once saw one." What did the person prove? Only that the they were never in the same _place_ at the same _time_ as the little green man. Nothing else can be proven. All probability points to the other extreme. Statistically, God must exist. So, assuming God exists (it's a safer bet than most people probably realize...) then which religion has a lock on the real God? Well, plenty of people say that they're all the same. Is that logical? If Allah and Jesus are the same God, then why does the Q'uran contradict the words of Jesus? Jesus says He is the Son of God, and the Q'uran says that God cannot have a son. Why would God tell one group one thing, and say something else to another group? That, of course, is just one example, and there are hundreds of others. Some religions say there are many Gods, some say only one, and some say there is no real God, simply varying levels of consciousness. Logically, only one, at most, religion can be right.
Historically, there is only one religion in the world that has ever had every prediction come true. The Bible is the only religious text that has ever been proven historically accurate every time. There are details that are debated, yes, and there are timelines that are argued, but no event ever described in the Bible has ever been proven to have not happened. But, in light of your questions, that is not really the point...
Where was God? I have a better question.
Where was Man?
Every atrocity ever committed has been committed by man. Every day the New Testament verse "they invent ways of doing evil" is confirmed by the horrible new ways humans demonstrate depravity. The Holocaust is a perfect example of this. And we can hardly blame God for the heinous crimes of our brothers and sisters. We're all guilty.
Instead, I'd look into the history of the area. When we really examine the evidence, we learn that until the early 20th century, Israel was almost completely uninhabited. The only reason _anyone_ moved to Israel was to escape the rampant anti-semitism of Europe and Western Asia. The newcomers didn't steal land from anyone. They didn't have to; there was no one there. The only reason Arab people from other nearby countries started moving to the area was because of an old Islamic tradition, that states that any land (or country, like modern-day Spain) that was once home to a Muslim, must ALWAYS be a Muslim country. Sadly, it was not long at all before Muslim extremists began murdering innocent civilians.
Where was God everytime a terrorist blew himself (or herself...) up, killing dozens of men, women, and children?
Better question:
Why don't more men try to put a stop to it?
The Israeli Defense Force protects Israel and its citizenry. Israel is the only country in the Middle East that has always been attacked by its neighbors. It's also the only free country, and the only democratic government in the entire region.
Why do we stand by and watch, or worse, OPENLY SUPPORT THE TERRORISTS, when Israel defends herself?
Let's do what we can to end the cycle of Terror and Destruction.
Let's punish the criminals and the terrorists who "invent ways of doing evil" so that we can ALL live in peace.
Okay, I'm done.

God gave us free will and the things you mentioned are the results of our own actions. God didn't give the Jews the land, it was negotiated through the U.N. Millions of people hear from God every day. I pray everyday and I hear God when answers come to me for different problems. I understand why you wonder where God is. I used to think that too, then one day I realized that God gave us free will and that the consequences of that have to play out. I do believe I receive guidance from God when I pray for it. There truly is a war of good vs. evil and earth is the battleground. You sound very smart and I hope you don't give up on God.

God isn't some being or old guy with a beard in the sky who pokes in and out of our goings on at will. God is the process of life itself. It is people who put "God" in the middle of some affairs and not others.
It's easy to blame God for humanity's ills, since God makes a big target, but the fact is that we are the authors of our own experiences, via God's gift of free will and hence, the universal law of attraction.
The law of attraction maintains that the vibrations we emit into the world via our conscious or unconscious beliefs, thoughts, emotions, words (written and verbal) and actions, and whether they are positive or negative, love-based or fear-based, lead to the events that we experience in return, in one form or another.
These vibrations occur individually for each person as well as collectively, by societies and cultures.
It is humanity's collective vibrations of fear and hatred that lead to disasters, natural or unnatural, including war and terrorism, disease, pestilence, starvation etc. etc.
God gives free will and does not revoke or interfere with it, so it is a gift with a double-edged sword, so to speak. Once given, it is our responsibility. Not God's.
God is the same place that God has always been. Everywhere as the energy source of life.

"God is dead. "
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, section 108
German philosopher (1844 - 1900)
Good question, I liked everyone's answers... I think God is everywhere... All things happen for a reason, even if we don't know what that reason is... I just learned this quote (Friedrich Nietzsche) in a philosophy class and it's a pretty famous quote in philosophy- so I thought it would atleast be an interesting perspective...

The Bible says that no man can see God's face and live and that was the same throughout history, but--God wrote us a letter and that is the Bible. If you read it, you will find out that God divorced the Israelites because of their refusal to honor their contract with him and because they rejected his son. He then made a new contract with a group of people from all nations and peoples and tongues for a Kingdom. These "spiritual Israelites" as the Bible calls them are blessed daily by God and definitely do not consider him to be negligent in any respect.

Good question. I don't think it's fair to give any group of people land because they claim "God said it ours." Especially when that land was already occupied. If you want the land, you have to fight for it just like every other nation has had to do. You don't just go in somewhere, set up camp, and wait for some country like England to assign the land to you.
