OK i have a question on Israel\ Palestine debate?

Question

ok im not religious at all, but the fact that the bible pre-dates the founding of islams , and the bible talks about the promised land and all that


so my question is why is it that palestinians feel that that land belongs and was stolen from them, when their religion wasnt formed till the 7th century and the jewish ppl of isreal have been there before their religion was founded?


im not religious not pro isreal or anti isreal , just trying to logically figure this out

belive what the bible says or not they have proof when it was written before 100 B.C.E due to the dead sea scrolls

Answer 1

Some feel there is a Biblical claim,if so why did the British have to promise it to the jews(the British also promised it to Palestinians), then the UN have to give it to them. Some Islamic scholars even agree that the Bible and the Koran says the Jews will have the land for a time. Problem is Jesus has not yet returned to make the prophecy come true. That leaves us with mans law,the British took the land from the Ottomans,they promised it to both Jews and Pals. Jews resorted to terrorism to drive the Brits out,that don't mean the Pals were innocent though. The Pals(specifically Amin Al Husseini) were also resorting to killing Jews,but the Brits gave him power even though Muslims protested it. Complicated thing,complicated more by the Brits and later many more. Maybe you can blame Pelosi even,I will let you figure that one out.

Answer 2

The Bible couldn't have been written in 100 b.c. because Jesus was born in 4 or 7 b.c and the Bible was written after his death.

Besides that, when did god give England to the Brits or Canada to the Canadians, etc etc?

The Palestinians, which is roman for Philistines, are also in the Bible. That's who the Jews shared Palestine with for 1000s of years. The Philistines were already there when the Jews were in Africa. Remember that the Jews came from South Egypt. They became an underclass to the Egyptians, and some of them eventually fled Egypt for the Middle East.

Edit: C.E. Ah, o.k. I'm tired, too. LoL

Answer 3

The Torah the first five books of the Bible has been around for about 6,000 years. Fighting over the land in this region has been going on for at least that long. The Jewish people and the Arabic people are in fact the offspring of two brothers Issac and Ismael. Ismael the elder brother is the father of the Islamic people. Issac is the father of the tribes of Israel. The conflict today is a blood feud between two brothers and, can not end well for either side.

Answer 4

Palestinians feel that their land is being taken away, because during the Roman mandate, the temple was destroyed and Jews were scattered in Europe, Russian and the US for about 1500 years. Some Jews stayed in what is now called Israel, but they were a tiny minority until the Zionist movement started bringing Jews in from Europe in the late 1800s. Sure the Jews might have a book that they claim was written by God that gives them permission to live there, but keep in mind that Arabs had the place to themselves (even if it was under Roman, Turk or Brit rule) for a good milennium and a half.

Answer 5

I believe there are alot extra islamaphobic persons in the market than anti-semetic. Most persons arent anti-semitic-they're anti-Israel and anti-homicide. What they have got performed to the palestinians isn't correct, regardless of which means you appear at it or which faith you aid. They have intentionally killed hundreds and hundreds of civilans in retaliation for a couple of rockets. Also they have got bombed UN amenities and used white phosphorous in civilian places that is unlawful. And then to make all of it worse they have got usually lied approximately it extra angering the worldwide group. Supporting those persons could be like aiding Hitler. There is not any justification for beginning yet another holocaust.

Answer 6

The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.

-Zahir Muhsein, 1977

Answer 7

Israel must return the land to the Palestinians so that there will be no conflict in the Middle East.

Answer 8

its just like us thinking we have it all right and deserve more too........its all in thr eye of the beholder
