Exodus 23:13, "Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self: 'I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.'"

You are 100 percent right.
The reason for the conflict between Israel and the Arabs is that the Arabs, plain and simple, refuse to accept a Jewish state in their midst. They invented this whole idea of a "Palestinian people who deserve a state" just to use as a tool to dismember Israel.
Prior to partition, Palestinian Arabs did not view themselves as having a separate identity. When the First Congress of Muslim-Christian Associations met in Jerusalem in February 1919 to choose Palestinian representatives for the Paris Peace Conference, the following resolution was adopted:
"We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic and geographical bonds.
"There is no such country as Palestine! 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria."
- Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, a local Arab leader, to the Peel Commission, 1937

Did you know that "god" doesn't exist, and so couldn't have given any land to anybody?
Does it really surprise you that a group of people who moved into some land wrote some verses in their book of myths saying their god gave the land to them?
Of *course* Israel deserves land for their own country. But it's not some kind of "divine right." And the Palestinians don't have a "divine right" to it, either. It's that kind of superstitious justification from god that has kept these two fighting over the same silly piece of desert for thousands of years. How about dropping the made-up divine rights, and helping come up with a solution to the problem instead of making it worse??

Actually God exiled Israel.
Twice.
'For the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem...true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.'
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.

Yes-this is true. Even the Qur'an says this.
But, Israel must follow G-d before they can keep it forever. They have lost it at times that they did not obey the laws of G-d. But, He always brings them home when they repent.

ISRAEL IS FOREVER AS TO PROPHECY
Matt.19:28 [ and Eze.37:12-14 and Matt.8:11 ];
Eze.37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
SO DO WE KNOW THEN AS NOW?
Isa 45:18; 65:17; 66:1,22,23; He sure did and they will be resurrected and judged and returned to their own land. All will be made new for them and for all that Jesus our SAVIOR will SAVE. 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53; Including heavenly for new and cleansed heavens, and earthly for new and cleansed earth.

The Jews need to control the promise land to erect the Church of David or what ever right on where that mosque is so that Revelation can come true

If he was a loving benevolent God, he could have at least served the Canaanites with an eviction notice before letting Joshua exterminate them.

Everything God said is true. That's why there's so much fighting happening today. They're fighting for their promised land. Thats why it's called the Promised Land

Show me the deed.
This is a self-serving statement made by Ezekial, an Israelite who had a vested interest in keeping his home.
It could equally be said that God gave the Indians the Americas for ever.
In a capitalistic and violent world, there is no forever. There is only now and, with any luck, tomorrow.

Yes, as long as they remain "worthy" to keep it. That's why that area has been conquered several times, they weren't. Not to mention, since it is a "promised land"; of course, others would want it too.
