Alot happened. the un wanted to make a 3 nation state, a palestinain, A jewish and an Arab state after the british palestine charter expired in 1948.
The jews said yes. the arabs and the palestinains said no. which that have always done.
in 1948, when the british charter expired. Isreal declared itself independant. If people would have left it alone, it would have been settled. or if the arabs and palestinains agreed, there would have been three nations and peace. But they would not do it.
The day after the charter expired and Isreal declared itself an independant state, 4 arab countries attacked them.
So who is trying to not have peace? Isreal. or the arab states?

First of all, the Lord gave the holy land to the physical seed of Abraham and as Scripture states, "in Isaac shall thy seed be called," so the sons of Ishmael, the Arabs, are not included. God gave the land to the Jews in perpetuity, so no one has the right to take it away from them.
Now on to the rest of your questions: When I was a student at Columbia Bible College in the early 50s (a school with conservative Baptist theology), my central interests were Biblical archaeology and eschatology. I learned all the end-time views that were not considered heretical: Historicism, Preterism, Dispensationalism, etc., in all their various forms.
When my studies were finished, the Lord didn’t lead me directly into the ministry, but allowed me to go into the business world for 35 years, where I became just like one of the unsaved and worse, a drunken adulterer. One evening, a person came aboard my yacht, took my bottle out of my hand, threw it over the side and said, "Ellis, the Lord wants you to teach His word and you can’t teach it as a drunk."
I went down into my stateroom, got on my knees and told the Lord that I’d been trying to stop drinking for five years but I was bound by alcohol and couldn’t. However, I would obey Him if He would help me." I’d been drunk for 90 days and should’ve gone to the hospital, but the next morning I was cold sober, no DTs, no nothing and I was no longer an alcoholic.
Had a successful advertising business, but sold it and gave the rest of my life to the Lord. I started studying Scripture again and guess where the Lord put me? In my old interests of eschatology and Biblical archaeology. Then the Lord began opening His word with the day-years in both Daniel and Revelation, then the Two Witnesses, of Rev 11, then the three beasts in Revelation 13 and 17, on and on studying Scripture 6 to 12 hours a day for the next four years. Learning a new discipline was just like Scripture says, it was "line upon line, line upon line a little here a little there," until a totally new picture of God’s plan for it His creation began to appear and I’m still learning.
But spiritual growth is a gradual thing. For the first few years, I thought I was going to make millions of dollars like Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, Jack Van impe and the rest of the false prophets, but the Lord reminded me that His servants don’t make merchandise of His word, so we began giving everything away and the Lord has blessed the ministry ever since. We don’t have much to speak of, live in a dumpy little two-bedroom place, but couldn’t care less. I wouldn’t trade what the Lord has put in my heart for all the gold on Earth.

Yes God scattered the Jews just as his word prophesied, but He gathered them again to the land in 1948 just is His word also prophesied. God did give the land to the physical seed of Abraham, forever, and God never breaks a promise so land is theirs. The Jews owning the land does not depend upon their faith or sanctity, but on their covenant keeping God.
Dear lady, if the Jews can't trust in the promises God gave them, then we have no basis for trusting in the promises God gave us

Heavenly Father has been Faithful and True throughout it is the creation that goes whoring and doing things he detests.
He is a Righteous, Wonderful, Merciful, Gracious God that us ungrateful hateful beings have rebelled like spoiled children that were never thankful.
i consider some are attempting a coup and pushing the dual Covenant theology to deceive people to help them with their evil agenda.
Of course much would have to go into convincing the folks...
Ellis remember what the Messiah said:
John 14

WRONG.
Its all tied to their obedience.
Leviticus 26
27 “‘If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me, 28 then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. 29 You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters. 30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars and pile your dead bodies on the lifeless forms of your idols, and I will abhor you. 31 I will turn your cities into ruins and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will take no delight in the pleasing aroma of your offerings. 32 I myself will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who live there will be appalled. 33 I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out my sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your cities will lie in ruins. 34 Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate and you are in the country of your enemies; then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. 35 All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it.
Coming back is conditioned on obedience.
40 “‘But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors—their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me, 41 which made me hostile toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies—then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they pay for their sin, 42 I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land. 43 For the land will be deserted by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected my laws and abhorred my decrees.
The Jews there now are not obedient covenant keepers or Messiah followers.
