B/c they are using an infallible excuse - GOD. Notice insane folks use that excuse, too "God made me do it". I wonder why we let one slip by and the other gets incarcerated.

There have always been Jews there--------since the time G-d took them into the land......that he gave them.
There has never been a country called Palestine, until the last couple of years, when Israel gave Gaza and part of the West Bank to be Palestine. It was the Palestine Provence of the Romans, the area of Palestine conquered by the Crusades and later ruled by Saladin. Then came the Ottomans, the British, and I have probably forgotten someone. Even when Babylon took the Jews into exile, there were still many left. There have always be Jews there, and they called themselves the children of Israel.
This is their claim to the land.

Most countries that exist have at one time conquered their lands.
Should we give Italy back all the land of the Roman empire. Or perhaps whoever they took it from. Or who they took it from.
I think the past is the past and we should leave it there. The Palestinians have places they could live. Even in Israel. Problem is they are not satisfied and blow themselves up about it.
Israel gave them gaza but that wasn't enough. I say everyone except Israel and Palestinians should stay out of it and let them figure it out. Problem is Iran and other Muslim countries are funding Hezbollah. That complicates the situation.

It's rightfully theirs.
God told them to do it and promised the land to their forefather, Abraham.
Today the Palestinians claim that it is their land based on the fact that the "Canaanites" were supposedly Arabs. This is not true. Noah had three sons, one of whom was Shem. From Shem came the Arabs and the Jews. The Canaanites were Hamites, or descendants of Noah's son Ham, so they were NOT Arabs.
There is no living people now that can rightfully fight the Jews for that land. The Canaanites are gone and so are their descendants, therefore the land belongs to the Jews.

Historical and archaeological evidence indicates the Philistines who were most likely refugees from the volcano ravaged Minoan civilization were already settled there when the Israelites arrived. The record also indicates they lived side by side with the artistic and peaceful Philistine/Minoan society for quite some time before they completely took over the land and the Philistines disappeared? And did you know your buns are showing?

By right of conquest. It's an age old way of claiming land. You go there, put a flag down, say it's yours, and run off or kill anyone who says different. England and America has done it for years.
"India, of all the English colonies you're the BEST!"

I think you already have the answer God did promise it to them, it was their doubt that delayed them having it. It was theirs to begin with

It was perhaps promised by God but it was given by a UN resolution.

The land belongs to Israel. God gave it to them.
God told Israel "I will bless them that bless you".

That is not a question that any country can ask. A bit too close to home for all of us.
