It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault?

G-D cares, his word dose not come back void, he said he would put them back in their land, and he did in 1948, up until that time no matter who occupied Israel it was desolate and Baron, he said he would return Israel back to their land and it would bloom as a rose in the desert and it has, The times might have changed down here, but G-D said I am the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, I change not. Israel is the only piece of land that G-D has ever designated for a group of people, he gave mankind the world, but he gave Israel the promised land of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You might say who cares all you want, but what G-D says will stand, whether you like it or not. He also said, I will bless those that blesses Israel, and curse those that curse Israel. so all I can say is good luck to you.

You are right. The land that is called Isreal today was drawn on a map after WWII by the British and US. It took land that had been inhabited for hundreds of years by the Palestinians and gave it away to the Jewish people who were displaced during the war. No doubt, the atrocities commited against the Jews were horrible, but the people should have been made welcome in Europe instead of shoved into the Palestinian's homeland. Regardless of what is says in someone's holy book, that does not excuse actions such as walking over the current inhabitants and denying them their rights as well. The Palestinians and Jews in the area lived in peace for hundreds of years, until the artificial borders of the new "Isreal" were created, displacing the Palestinians, cutting them off from water and jobs. The terrorists are radicals, all Muslims should not be judged based on the actions of the fringes of society. There are many Palestinians who simply want to live in peace, in the land they were born in.

The Bible is a work of man which was supposedly divinely inspired. Anyone could easily say that God told them to say or write anything, just look at the racist here in America who say they have God's blessing. The struggle over Israel was started by men thousands of years ago and it obviously continues today all because someone says God tells them they can. They are crazy for starting a war over desert land, just like the people you can meet today who claim to be Jesus.

Who cares is the question. Jewish Christians, Muslims and alot of other religions. Isreal is a holy site.It is documented in the bible.
The bible states many things regarding Isreal and the land distribution. Search your biblical text to find answers to such conditions as Hamas and Hezbollah. Iran generates violence and gives nothing to the world economy except aggravated oil prices.
I do not work for Iran people and neither do you. It is time to stand up and be counted in the war on extremists. You are either in or out. Get educated stop being lame. .

The Israel of the Bible has nothing at all to do with the modern state of Israel today..nothing at all. They are two entirely different entities and the one has nothing to do with the other. Even so God DID NOT give the land to Israel, but rather to the descendants of Abraham, which turns out to be both Arabs AND jews. So to say that God gave the land to Israel is pure bunk, notwithstanding it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Israel of today.

God’s chosen people - Please check out this book titled THE THIRTEENTH TRIBE by Arthur Koestler, in which he proves that these Eastern European "Jews" are neither Israelites nor "Semites," but are instead Khazars, Mongols, and Huns instead of being Israelites; i.e. these Jews from Eastern Europe and Western Asia were descended from Mongolians and other Asiatic peoples who had adopted Judaism as their "religion" over 1,000 years ago and had become know as "Jews."

Also, this video is very interesting in which the speaker is Rabbi Yisroel Weiss.

Agree with you that no one has the right to go and initiate aggression (to put it very mildly) against anyone. In fact, if I were one of God’s chosen, then I would have an obligation to act as such. God would most definitely not approve any violence from my part. Does being God’s chose justify all the that is below?

Where the heck were they supposed to go after their lives were destroyed via the holocaust? NOBODY WANTED THEM IN THEIR COUNTRY! I agree that the "solution" set everybody involved up for future conflicts, but the truth is that they had to be allowed to live somewhere...and no country was saying, with open arms, "Send them all here. We'll take them all."
