In the book of Joshua, Israel conquers many lands as promised by God, but they also turn away from God in the book of Judges, they repent several times and God send heroes to save them, they also turn away from God several times before repenting.

I do believe history repeats itself-just not according to anything in particular (i.e,.-the book of Judges)
let's see-any nation turning away from their god and/or goddesses and then repenting,
I can't be certain but I would be suprised if that was not the case for people/nations of other faiths
But, I guess since it does record history according to it's own version, you could use that as an example

The book by Joshua cannot be the whole truth without knowing for sure of the true author, when it was had written and how it was written. So far there is little resemblance to the situation in the middle-east and shows no relevance to any settlement to the conflict.
By invoking the the name of God, has there been prooof of his presence and his good reason for helping out the Israeli only. Must the Arabs be left out in the equation of non discrimination or fairness? You may also wish to consider the fact that followers of Islamic faith also have their own interpretation of events that have been unfolded in the islamic way since historic time. So who is right?

What lands have they conquered? They are going to pull out of Lebanon at some point and just be back in Israel with Hezbollah collecting up more missiles and recruits for next time.

No. History does not repeat itself. That would make God redundant.

Doesn't this sound like the USA? We sure need another "Great Awakening"!
