Why do Israel's enemies claim they own the Holy Land, Jerusalem?

Question

Mohammad,
Who are 'they'? It seems to me that today Palastinians are fighting each other. Oh yes, & teaching their children to destroy Israel & the West through their own Micky Mouse.

MD, It is written that the promised Messiah would come through Sarah (Israel) & not through Hagar. Hagar is Egyptian & so Ishmael is Abrahams descendants & Egyptian. So? The Ishmaelites have became a great nation also. But Jerusalem is Jesus'. And Jesus is returning when Israel repents & says, "Blessed Is He who comes in the Name of the Yahweh." So? Jerusalem should be Israel's capital. Because of Yeshua Messiah.

Answer 1

because they dont read the same Bible we do. Jerusalem belongs to Isreal because God said so.

Answer 2

Because battles were fought over it for many many years and it was occupied by the current victors at the time the land was arbitrarily given to the Jews to make up for the Nazi treatment and to give them a safe haven and a homeland.

Never mind the fact that as a port region (the only water for miles of dessert) it is critically important to the community - and critcally important to western nations who need a military foothold in a resource rich area. Giving the land to Israel steals it from the people who took it by force in their own fair fight (as they see it, certainly), gives America and Britain a place to set up military bases and constrains port economics and agriculture in a dessert area.

Peace!

Answer 3

it was a promise given to Abraham to have his firstborn to be the son of a nation. Sarah, his wife, got scared becasue she thought she was so old and told Abraham to sleep with their maidservant . She had a baby, Ishmail. And ever since and still now, there is the dispute over who is the true son of the land. Isaac, who came after Ishmail, through Sarah or Ishmail.

Answer 4

Who knows who owns Jerusalem? Henry II, last king of Jerusalem died about 1324 and there has been a fight since {and before} that time. It appears that whomever can take it owns it. Actually, the Hebrews took it from other tribes.

Answer 5

Because of Dar-al-Islam. This doctrine teaches that any land that comes under Muslim rule has to stay under Muslim rule, or holy war will be declared. Lands such as Spain, Greece, and Israel were once under Muslim rule, and the "radicals" want those places back.

Answer 6

because Jerusalem is in the Holy Land, and they are in possession of the Holy Land.

Answer 7

Whenever they kindle a fire for war, Allah extinguishes it. And they strive to create disorder in the earth, and Allah love not those who create disorder.

Holy Quran

Perhaps because they were there, living, raising families, carving out an existence for themselves.. when the land was given to the Jews and they were told to suck it up and deal with it? How would YOU feel if it were you?
