Jerusalem was in the territory divided to the tribe of Benjamin which tribe was coupled with Judah when G_d separated the tribes into two distinct nations, the Kingdom of Judah and the Kingdom of Israel (constituted by the other 10 tribes).

Certain promises were given to the Kingdom of Judah, most were given to the Kingdom of Israel....

7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.

No. David captured the city and made it his capital.

8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.

Moslems pray facing Mecca. If Jerusalem lies between the Moslem and Mecca he will face Jerusalem.

Yes you are clueless. Run along and kiss up to the Jihadists. To them you are useful idiot.

I'm guilty of the same thoughts. Before September 11th, I hadn't paid enough attention to the differences between the Muslim countries and Israel, and had just chalked up the conflict to two warring factions fighting over a sandbox. Perhaps all the years of what passes for "higher education" I'd been through (which refuses to make any judgments on anything, and wants us to think all cultures have "value" and "merit") had made me blind.

After doing some research on the subject, I can now say I think the whole civilized world owes Israel a great deal. They're our first line of defense against an uncivilized, filthy culture that wants nothing more than to drag the rest of the world back into the 14th century with them. I hope Israel eventually totally ignores all the hand wringing and harsh anti-semitic sentiment that comes from the U.N. and other inferior places (like France and Norway) and eventually REALLY brings the thunder down on the Muslim nations.

7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.

Didn't Salem, the nucleus of what later became Jerusalem, exist back in Abraham's day?

I further understand that Melchizedek was the King of Salem and priest of the "Most High God" at that time.

And at some point Melchizedek blessed Abraham at that location.

So, I believe that God's people have a history with that location long predating King David.

Does anyone out there doubt who was speaking to Mohammed?

Yes, but not me.

You and millions of Western hating leftist in this country are still living in the pre-911 world. The world has now passed you by, and you don't know it.

Your claim of support for the UN's weapon inspectors today, is contradicted by your non-support for Israel, which was created by the support of the UN.

You seem to know a lot about Nazi's which is more in tune to with your appeasment of murderous tyrants like Arafat and Hussein.

Now that we are at war, your comments are especially poisonous. Your comments reek of traitorous and subversive stench. I can only hope that people who hold your view, will go to Israel and try and stop the IDF from protecting her people.

God Bless the USA and the IDF!

I can certainly verify the calendar statements ... its now 5762 in the Jewish calendar

So what exactly was the year ZERO in the Jewish calender ? Serious question btw ? Was that the year that the God's covenent with Abraham was made ?

[EaglesUpForever]

I must admit, before 9/11, I was not as hard core pro-Israeli as I am now.

Me too. I had never experienced the depravity of the people they're fighting. Cheering kids in "Palestine"? Joy throughout the Arab world? 9/11 showed us how sick some people are...

That, and this whole Iraq crisis, is really changing my view of who our friends and enemies are.

" I do NOT support the fanatics on either side including the Israeli polititions who have lied and manipulated the USA for years. ( read a book called By way of Deception ) writen by an EX - Mossad officer for an enlightening view of the treachery of Israeli big whigs that have betrayed America at EVERY turn all the while bleeding us dry of every extra dollar they can beg borrow or steel for the tax payers here !"

Why read your quoted book, when I see peaceful and innocent Men, Women, Children, Grandmothers and Grandfathers sitting down for dinner gathered for a religious holiday, getting blown up to bits by flying nails hurled into their flesh caused by an explosion set off by a lunatic fanatic bent on killing as many Israeli Jews as possible?

I don't need anyone's interpretation of what is going on with the Israeli/Palestinian situation. I see fanatics blowing up civilians in busses, cafes and malls on one side. I see the other side defending themselves in a very constrained way, targeting only the guilty and those who profit.

Each and every muslim extremist deserves what they have coming to them, as long as we are willing to follow through with ridding the world of this cancer on the civilized world. God bless the USA and God bless the IDF!

I keep asking this of those with knowledge of the Jewish calendar, so I’ll ask you also: when is the next jubilee year?

[Little Ray]

I thought King David conquered Jerusalem then established it as his capital?
