Answer 1

Palestine

Answer 2

The most important thing to bear in mind is that there is no such place in the world as Palestine. Except for a city in Texas.

The actual word "Palestine" came from the Romans, not the Arabs, and there has never been an independent country or state of Palestine, nor a Palestinian rule. Yet we are led to believe that there are Palestinians and then there are Arabs.

In August 11, 1919 in a memorandum to Lord Curzon, Lord Balfour stated that "whatever be the future of Palestine, it is not now an 'independent nation,' nor is it yet on the way to becoming one". Professor of history Reverend James Parkes wrote in Whose Land that "before 1914, ... the mass of the population [in Palestine] had no real feeling of belonging to any wider unit than their village, clan or possibly confederation of clans". He stressed the point that "up to that time it is not possible to speak of the existence of any general sentiment of nationality".

There is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of 1 percent of the landmass.

As long as the Arabs refuse to accept a Jewish state in the Middle East, the conflict will remain unresolved. Israel must completely and totally defeat the Arabs, so that a peace treaty can be signed and enforced.

Answer 3

This is a tough situation. Israel is in charge of the land, but they are Palestinian people that also need their own home. I often wonder what the best situation would be. I say we leave Israel as it is and create a land for Palestinian people.

Answer 4

The UN already decided that it will be both.

However, if the newly created Palestinian peoples continue to show the world that they cannot rule themselves outside of tribal relationships, then I suspect that, in time, the Gaza strip will be returned to Egypt and the West Bank split diplomatically between Jordan and Israel.

One has to rmember that the promised land was Cannine and thes folks only lived in Gaza and a small ways north. The Phillistines controlled the rest.

Answer 5

Palestine, but all the Jews who immigrated there should be allowed to stay with equal rights for all.

Nazi genocide against the Jews was no excuse for Zionist conquest and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Zionism started before Nazism.

Biblical proclamations are no excuse for taking land and property away from its legal owners and giving it to persons of another religion. The bible isn't a real-estate document. The Palestinians are descended from the same semitic tribes the Jews claim to be descended from, they have since converted to Christianity and/or Islam. Besides which, some of their ancestors lived there CONTINUOUSLY in the intervening years since the conquest of Judea by the Romans. In other words, Cherii is right. God, if he exists as stated, promised the land to the Palestinians.

Answer 6

Since Palestine was a country occupied by a tribe known as the Israelites, then, technically the country should be called Palestine. However as it only came into being in modern times in 1947 and was, prior to the enslavement of the Hebrew people (Israelites) by the Egyptians prior to the Exodus then it could also be called Israel. Why they can't compromise and live together in peace is beyond me. They could call the country Immanuel after the god they both believe in.

Answer 7

It is the State of Israel and before it was the Land of Israel.

It is the homeland of the Jewish people.

Here is the my poem "Israel"


My mother said to me
there will never be peace there
My father said to me
America is the best country in the world
and then I left America for Israel

My friend said to me
I hate it here in the summer
the landscape looks harsh
everything stinks

My friend’s words confirmed for me
my feeling, gloating
I love Israel more than she

What does the hellish weather mean to me
What does the terror and wars mean to me
Nothing, nothing that can move me from my beloved

My friend said to me
I love the Land of Israel
My boyfriend said to me
I love the State of Israel

What does state or land mean to me
She is my beloved
She is my Israel
Just as mother cannot explain her love for her child
Just as man cannot explain his love for his woman
I cannot explain my love for Israel

Whether or not G-d exists
Whether or not G-d gave this land to us
We, the Jewish people do exist
and we can sing the Song of Songs
and our song is our love for Israel

Patriotism, nationalism are weak words
What does politics mean to me
Nothing, nothing I am a flying Jew
Flying in Chagall’s painting over Jerusalem
Whether or not she is heavenly Jerusalem
Whether or not she is earthly Jerusalem
Whether or not she is Naomi Shemer’s Jerusalem of Gold
It matters not to me
She is my beloved Israel and I am flying over her soul

I hear the religious and the secular disparage and denigrate one another
I hear the Ashkenazim and the Sephardim disparage and denigrate one another
I hear the immigrants and the sabras disparage and denigrate one another
These are our three fault lines, rifts
finding fault until the earthquake
What does their lashon hara mean, matter to me
I want to cry to all my people (myself included)
Just as our G-d is one, we are one
They are my beloved, Israel

Another land has the most beautiful nature
Another land has the most polite people
Another land has the most tranquil atmosphere
What does that matter to me
I love Israel more
She is my beloved

Hear O Israel:

The land is ours
The land belongs to us
The land of Israel
The house of Israel are one
and are won, forever, inseparable
And now the world knows this is true

Answer 8

It should be Palestine. We, the United States, created Israel by giving Jewish people a homeland. What right did we have to go into the Middle East and declare a new country? Israel was created so we could have a military stronghold near the oil.

Answer 9

You need to state the Bible book, chapter and verse that you are alluding to because I think we are not reading the same Bible. The Israelites were God's chosen people. And I can't speak of anything from the Koran because I have only read excerpts from it.

Answer 10

there never was a palestine. it was called Canaan before the arabs tried to take over. It will always be the land God gave His people forever!
