Yeah...I've often used that argument. I don't think Palistine is ever mentioned in the bible? But of course Israel is quite often.

But then again, it was called "Palestine" for quite a while until the UN (And Britian) decided to create "Israel" again.

It's a mess and always will be...No doubt about that. But like I said, if they had fought-it-out a couple of hundred years ago (Or more) and someone had established boundaries, It may not be such a mess. But then again, just the presence of the three major religions (Not to mention all the others who call Jerusalem home) pretty much assures conflict...Forever.

"It's a mess and always will be...No doubt about that."

I completely disagree. Soon....it will be straightened out.

"But like I said, if they had fought-it-out a couple of hundred years ago (Or more) and someone had established boundaries"

Boundaries were established....by God himself. The Jews and observant Christians acknowledge it...the unbelieving World doesnt.

"But then again, just the presence of the three major religions (Not to mention all the others who call Jerusalem home) pretty much assures conflict...Forever."

Just off of that alone [3 major religions] would in the natural cause me to think it wouldnt last forever. Christians and Jews believe the same thing where this subject is concerned. Islam is the Johnny Come Lately outcast...it remains in Israel under the grace of the other two.
