A Christian told me that the Bible gave the land from the Nile to the Euphrates and they have a divine right to take it away from anyone without compensation.
How can peace be established with a people who think they have a divine right to take your home away without any compensation.

It will never happen do not worry about it.
Israel will not advance beyond the Jordan river, because that is not their land.
This moron needs to learn his bible.
the land from the Nile to the Euphrates was given to the descendants of Abraham, both the Jews and the Arabs.
the Jews will get Israel and the Arabs will have everything else.

Israel is not moving to take away Iraq from anyone. In fact, in November Israel is going to be divided in half, with Jerusalem going to the Arabs as their capital. The over 500,000 Jews of Samaria and Judea are going to be thrown out of their homes, like has already happened in Gaza, Hebron, and Amona, and Arabs will live there instead. The Jews from these areas will be given no compensation, and no replacement homes nor replacement employment, just as the Jews thrown out from Gaza, Hebron, and Amona weren't.
This will not be the end, of course. The STATED Arab goal is the complete eradication of the State of Israel, and the death of every Jew. When Gaza was given to the Arabs last year, they tore down all attempts at civilization, and instead turned it into a terrorist base, which is regularly firing rockets on towns in Israel like Sderot. Every single day. Would YOU put up with that here in your town? Israel does.
The Arabs do not want peace, they never did. Five years ago, HALF of Israel, and ALL of Jerusalem was offered to Arafat, and he turned it down. That is not what they want. They want the death of Israel completely, and the death of every Jew. That is what THEY say, themselves.
And that is exactly what they are getting, through pressure from the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations, for Israel to give up it's land, split Israel into pieces of smaller land that do not connect with each other, but have Arab land all around those pieces, and to give up the land in Samaria and Judea, which means Israel will have no defense at all against neighboring Arab countries there, and to give Jerusalem, the holiest city in Judaism, to the Arabs. This is happening in November.
The leaders of the government in Israel are happily going along with the US, the EU, and the UN on this, as they have been since Sharon was their leader, now it is Olmert, but the same people are still there behind the scenes such as Peretz, the Jew who hates Israel's existence and will do anything he can to destroy it from the inside. This is what is happening in Israel now, right now today.
Happy?

Genesis 12:3
(God to Abraham)
I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you.
Eventually the nations that fight against Israel will cease to exist.
Ever hear of a modern-day Cannanite? Amalakite? Hittite?
or how about any Jebusites? Know any Moabites or Edomites? (me neither.)
Some day there will be no Saudis, Iranians, or Iraqis. No Syrians either.

In times past God has given land to his people to reside in , in relative peace and prosperity.
Now days God does not support any particular nation of people ,rather he supports individuals world wide that truly follow his directions and requirements.
Some religious extremists shout ¨Keep your eyes on Israel¨ , like it means something.
The fact is ,God has abandoned these places a LONG time ago.
It is not Holy ground , they are not Holy people.
They prove it by their actions every day.
Only people that live every day in accordance with the requirements of God as shown from the Bible are 'his people'.
They are the ones that will be saved through the upcoming great tribulation and they will inherit the earth.

Muslims believe that peace comes with killing those who do not believe as they believe.
The Jews are just protecting themselves - even as they feed their enemies from the rich, and growing fields of food in Isreal !

Well, that WAS true, but the Jews broke the covenant; and are therefore not under it's protections - as the last 20 centuries of history would illustrate.
So, if they try to TAKE it, God is not going to be their defender. However, he promises to give it to them later. That will be when he's ruling the place, and he'll do it fairly.

I think its ridiculous to even think God would be partial to any certain group of people. I mean He made us all. He certainly would not choose one small group out of the whole world

One might think even a fictitious god would render clout to their side ..Only trouble is the other side has god on their side as well. If magic Jesus is so powerful ask him what the winning lottery ticket will be .

Israel's not going to take Western Iraq, so you have nothing to worry about.

Iraq is a civilization that predates Israel. I've always thought that world leaders that truly believe in this are scary.
