Why support israel?
Part 4
NEAR EAST-MIDDLE EAST REALITIES
CRITICAL INSIGHTS
It’s important to have some critical insight here. Today, teaching in-depth national history is very much a Western way of education.
If you’ve ever known people from the Middle East or Far East, you’ll find that many of them were taught little more than a surface-level history or, more likely, propaganda about their country or region.
It can be quite shocking to a Westerner when asking a friend about the “true history” of their country when the friend gives you an odd look because you somehow expect them to know what “really happened” in their land of origin.
So, be very careful about buying into claims by any Egyptians, Arabs or so-called “Palestinians” regarding “thousands of years” of claim to the Land of Israel.
The Land of Israel was renamed “Syria Palaestina” by the Roman Emperor Hadrian following the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–136 CE) in a hate-filled man-made attempt to sever the Jewish connection to the region.
So, if you’re going to be technically consistent and fact-based, you must also take into account that all Jews born in “Palestine” between the years 135 CE and 1947 CE would also be considered Palestinians.
If you don’t grant Jews equal fairness in that matter and only attribute rights to Arabs, then you’re kind of slobbering all over yourself and any integrity that you might have left, and you are possibly one of those people of Revelation 3:16 that God warns that He will puke out of His mouth (yes, that word means “puke”)…
and that’s not a good look on anyone.
Only the Jews have God’s promises in the Bible regarding His Land (over which they are to be stewards for Him), the written secular history, and the actual archeology proving their claims of living in the Land for more than 3,000 consecutive years.
No one else has anything of any valid claim to the Land of Israel.
GAZA
Regarding Gaza, in 2005, Israel forcibly removed all Jewish residents, and gave that to the Gazan “Palestinians” there.
To help the Gazans, they left behind many millions of dollars of agricultural infrastructure such as greenhouses and farms, and many manufacturing facilities.
Reports indicate that Gaza had around 3,900 factories employing 35,000 people in 2005.
Over decades, Israel had also planted more than 600,000 trees in Gaza for the more than 1 million Gazans living there to enjoy.
Since there were less than 10,000 Jews living in Gaza at the time, the trees and, once again, the jobs, were obviously more for the benefit of the Arab, Egyptian and other Gazans.
The Arabs, as well as those currently living in Gaza are well know for never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
As Prime Minister Golda Meir used to say,
“We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”
Access to these wonderful facilities that employed so many Gazans was quickly destroyed in subsequent internal conflicts or by looting.
Instead of making the most of the tremendous opportunity to grow the manufacturing, Palestinian armed groups immediately starting firing rockets into Israel, more than 2,600 rockets from September 2005 through May 2007, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Can you imagine any other country in the world allowing that to occur decade after decade as Israel has done in the interest of peace instead of annihilating the people attacking and taking complete control of the region?
“To your descendants, I will give this land.”
Genesis 12:7
What part of this in unclear?
JEWS CONTINUALLY IN ISRAEL OVER 3,000 YEARS
And He said to him, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE
LORD YOUR
GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
“This is the great and foremost commandment.
“The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’
“On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 22:37-40 NASB
“This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.”
John 15:12 NASB
dig deep inside & consider
Israel is the only country that, when attacked by others, is expected to return land won by defending itself to the genocidal attackers.
dig deep inside & consider
When you hear any land in Israel referred to as “disputed” anything, remember that according to Islamic law, your family’s right to even exist as humans outside of Islam is considered to be “disputed.”
