How arrogant is it of the Jews to believe that they deserve to have their own land (Israel)?

Question

What group of people, other than Jews, believes they should have their own land?
And just why do the Jews they think they deserve it?

Answer 1

That's where their religion started, I believe...

They've been displaced throughout history, and when they were replaced at the end of WW2, they placed them in Israel.

Answer 2

Actually- almost **all** groups of people think that they should have their own land.

Realize that Jews are both a religion and a 'people'. Most of the jews in Israel aren't even religious. Hitler didn't care what god people believed in when he slaughtered the Jews- but they belonged to a cohesive cultural group.

Thought up by Theodore Hertzl in the late 1800's it was a dream not of arrogance, but of survival. AntiSematism was once again increasing in Europe at the time and he saw the writing on the wall that Jews needed a place of their own. Sadly he was right, but it didn't happen fast enough and 6 million of them were slaughtered.

do the Kurds deserve a homeland? How about the Armenians? or Turks? or Indians? or Chinese? or Russians? or Latvians? or Taiwanese? or the French? or the Japanese?

It's a strange place that you come from to ask this question. A place of bigotry and antisematism.

Where do your parents live, Briank24? Do they own their own land? Do you know other people who own their own land? Who owns The United States? Do those people have a right to their land (considering it was stolen or ripped off from the Native Americans).
So is everyone who owns their own land arrogant? Or just Jews?
I get so sick of hearing on yahoo that Jews are arrogant for one reason or other. Where does this mis-belief come from?

Answer 4

In Genesis 17 ; 1 - 27 God kept his covenant with Abraham and promies his son Isaac the land of the Jews. God also give the Arabs there own land with a covenant with Ishmael . But the Jews were to show proof of the covenant with God by being circumcised for ever.

Answer 5

If there replaced into no one there before the founding of Israel as a u . s ....the place the heck did those sort of Palestinians come from? Did they arrive after the founding, forcing the Israelis to force them from their properties? What approximately all the deeds to the land held by potential of the Palestinians? you are able to desire to lie with the intention to justify the wrongs committed upon the buddies. How else do you get an entire u . s . of folk to bypass with the lie it is Israel if to no longer convince them that they had stolen land style no one. there's a reason Israel needs to foyer, foyer, foyer the international consistently and persistently. Oh specific, the lie of it being barren (or in this state of affairs swamp) land till the Jews moved in and miraculously made it stay able. those Jews are chock packed with miracles. supply me billions upon billion of greenbacks from the U. S. and Germany and that i will make the land around Chernobyl stay able.

Answer 6

That land you call the Jews land is already taken....That is Jesus land and He has claims own it and oh how bad it will be for the one who try to take it and helps try and take it...What is arrogant about it it is their land they are just taken care of it till He returns...Because the JEWS are His people just like we are His children..that is why Some sweet day Israel will be all of our home that is were Heaven will be....Those who love my people I will also love...

Answer 7

well, since we ARE the ones responsible for building the cities... making a worthwhile economy... building a democracy in a region surrounded by dictatorships... creating a system of education and justice... and so forth... i think it only makes sense that we get to keep the land.

considering the previous inhabitants had turned it into worthless swampland and the jews are the ones responsible for cleaning it all up and creating a functioning nation out of the garbage heap they left it in, i don't think its unreasonable to say that we deserve it the most.

we're the only ones who've wanted our own land? so the muslim nation of pakistan wasn't created in 1947 from land belonging to the sovereign state of india because the indian muslims couldn't handle not living under non-muslim rule? and they didn't displace several million hindus in order to create their muslim state? ooookay...

Answer 8

Personally I don't get the deal with the Holy Land. If you're land is holey than what are you saying about my land, unholy? Why would you want it anyway it's mostly desert. 'God' must be like "oh my god guys, are you serious, I made beautiful trees and rivers and you like that crap, let the bugs snakes and cacti live there, the trees and oxygen is for you humans, whatever do what you want, pfft"

Answer 9

Oh gosh. Stop attacking people! Everyone feels a love for the land they call their own. I love my land--the United States of America!

Answer 10

Very arrogant...we should all be submitted to Allah and only Allah's has a right to the land. Therefore all land belongs to Muslims. Thats Islamic idealogy anyway...

Answer 11

Dear BrianK24_7-

The Jewish people did not come up with this on their own. God gave them the land.

I can't speak for the Jewish people, but I have studied the bible enough to know that a promise - a covenant - from God is why they deserve it. He called them His own, has loved them, & chastised them. He decided that they would be the ones from whom the Messiah (Jesus) would come. He set the boundaries that so called "peacemakers" keep messing with.

My suggestion would be for you to study what the bible teaches about this.

Sincerely - Redeemed
