The problem with Israel is you cannot replace the original inhabitants of Palestine with European WW2 Holocaust refugees and get away with it. The Bible is not a real estate guide for claiming lands. At least the Americans outnumbered the Indians and won, the Arabs outnumber the Jews 150 to 1. The Arab passion to drive the Jews into the sea has not waned since 1948. Stretegically Israel is screwed by geography, demographics and now the US realize the high price in treasure and blood for entangling in the Middle East is now wavering in its support for Israel. If the US wants to truly help the Jews, set aside a piece of land in US for a Jewish homeland.

The Jews have spent the last 2000 years relying on the good will of Gentile rulers to set aside some land for them, and have been oppressed, persecuted, and finally either expelled or killed every single time, culminating in the Holocaust. All other considerations aside, why should those in Israel trust in yet another Gentile power to let them live in peace?

Israel is the one place in the world where the Jews have an ancestral claim. It is also the place where Hashem said He would restore the people to their land after two exiles. The world hates Israel and wants to see it destroyed because it is proof that only two religions in the world could possibly be correct: Traditional Judaism and/or the sects of Christianity that admit that God has never annulled His covenants with the Jews.

Israel isn't going anywhere. She may be battered and bruised, but she will stand, and those who stand with her and her children will be blessed while those who oppose her and her children will be judged--even when all the nations of the world rise up to attempt to destroy her.

Shalom
