Israel Observes Rosh Hashanah in Uncertain Times

The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, comes at a turbulent time for Israel.

Israelis are observing Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the High Holy Days and a time of reflection and prayer. There are 10 days of repentance leading up to the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement.

The New Year comes at a time of political uncertainty in Israel, as the Palestinians seek recognition of an independent state at the United Nations.

Many Israelis, like these people on the streets of Jerusalem, are skeptical about the prospects for peace.

This unidentified man put it this way: "I don't expect a great deal of progress in the peace process. I don't actually expect that there will be a Palestinian state."

And this Israeli woman also expressed doubts. "I have my doubts," she said. "Because you can give many concessions to the Palestinians, and no matter how many you give they want more."

I agree.
Simple Fact:

Two-thirds of the Palestinian Mandate was set up as an Arab Muslim state (Palestinian) in 1921 by the British, with a Saudi Prince as its King. The rest of the mandate belongs to Israel.

Even the original Trans-Jordanian ruler (the current ruler's grandfather)stated that his country was Palestine. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong)that he was assassinated for that statement on the Temple Mount

The problem is that the rest of the Arab world, and now the entire Muslim world believes that once an area is conquered by Islam, it remains their land forever. They forget (even though their own Koran states that Israel belongs to the Jews), that the land was given by God to Israel as an inheritance.
