He who slays with the sword must be slain by the sword, he who leads into captivity must be led into captivity. Such "blood lust" is not expressed by me, but by the Lord himself

Luke 11:4
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.

Well that puts all of us into a terrible lot of trouble.
He who has no sin let him cast the first stone.
How might we all find mercy then?
 
They are not a "race" no matter their "history." You can't make them into a race just because of a "long history." They are, were, and always will be racially Arabs.
If you do some serious investigation, you will find they are a mixed race. Phoenician, Arabic, Jewish and more.

I've forgotten more than you know about them. Those who call themselves "Palestinians" are racially Arabs. I'd say do some research, but in this case it's something you don't want to know. Those who claim "genocide" against "Palestinians" are historically ignorant and have an anti-Jewish agenda.

Yeah, whatever.

1948 was fulfillment of Ezekiel 37, the reuniting of the northern and southern kingdoms back into one kingdom again.
 
A rational mind in a man is not a leader, but it is a tool needed to follow.
For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh Phil3:3

So what is your point?
None of the old Biblical genealogies remain unmixed in this time.
Are you suggesting that all "Arab" looking types should be thrown together in a new country called "Arabia"?
How would that go down with the Eastern European "Whites"?
So give your house to me, because you are not from a proper race and I am.
Sounds fair?

The country is Israel, not Palestine. That's my point.

Arabs or Eskimos who cares?
If the people who have long called themselves Palestinians are then killed in the area that they have long called Palestine with the intention of removing them from that area what would you want to call it?
Ethnic cleansing?
The UN Security Council has found "Israel" guilty of Genocide.
You can debate the semantics of that, but what do you prove?
The fact that "Israel" now needs talking points like that only proves they have run out of moral substance.

It's Israel, not Palestine. Jews can and do live and work alongside peaceful Arabs (there are a few). They don't call for the elimination of any other race of people. That's not true of those who claim to be "Palestinian."

My great grandfather, my grandfather and my father were not Arabs.
They all lived in Palestine before 1948 and were conservative of their Western way of life.
For that long period of history they did not have conflict with the local Arabs.
They build farms, Schools and Churches, never hearing of terrorism.
The Zionists had conflict because they killed and stole land.
This in not criminal in their own religious understanding, but they make up cover stories for the rest of the world.
You have been fed fables, and believed them.

In a nutshell, zionism is believing Jews are entitled to the land of Israel.
Their so-called entitlement would come from God, and Israel was established by the United Nations, including Britain, which governed the land. It sounds like your problem is with the United Nations and God, who owns the land. It looks to me like you want Israel evicted from their land. It will not happen
The reason Israel hasn't been destroyed is because the greatest military power in the history of mankind protects it and Israel has nukes.
The USA is divided, if that is who you are referring to. Muslims have nukes. You have an approximate 21-mile distance between the west bank and Gaza. Both Palestinian territories. They could split Israel in half. Do not buy your excuse-making and ignore the God factor in the physical existence of Israel. The land belongs to God, and God decides who occupies and who is evicted.

"The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers. Lev. 25:23

Revelation 11
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Revelation 17
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

Revelation 18
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
 
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

God has called apostate Israel a Harlot before:
Jeremiah 3:6
The Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.

I challenge you to show in scripture where that entitlement exists. You can't do because it doesn't exist, but please, go ahead and try.

The land belongs to God, and God decides who occupies and who is evicted.

Don't confuse God's will with God's permission. He permits men to do many things that are their wills, but not his.

"The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers. Lev. 25:23

You have a veil over your mind that blinds you to what that verse says. It says God owns the land and the nation of Israel was merely a guest and resident alien with him in the land. Occupancy was subject to his rules, which they broke and were evicted, as every landlord has a right to do. Any prophecy pertaining to the restoration of Israel was fulfilled, and is being fulfilled, in Christ and his holy nation, ie, his body of believers. You believe what the unbelieving pharisees believed and taught, that since they were entitled to the land through lineage, those prophecies were about them instead of Christ, who they denied.
