We've heard the lies that our land had no people living in it

No one I ever heard, or read, has ever said that NO one was living there before the Jews started the Zionist movement, or what ever moment in time you choose. It has been stated that it was sparsely populated and undeveloped. Is this not true?

I am not ashamed to be Palestinian, even when it has become an all-too-common experience that some people will react awkwardly once they discover this fact. I am not ashamed to be Palestinian, even when I am told to my face that my people are a block in the way of God's plan, and that we should leave our homeland to make room for the Jews.

I'm unaware, at least in the version of dispensationalism that I follow of any call for Palestinians to leave. At least based on theological principles.

I suspect sometimes that some of my brethren would prefer us all to be Muslim. It would make their politics and theology much tidier

I cannot believe that it is the wish of any Christian, of whatever persuasion, to wish anyone to be Muslim. Nor do I see how it would make their theology much tidier. That would be like, oh, destroying archaeological evidence of the existence of Jews in Israel for thousands of year, such as I have read some Muslims do. Politics, now? Who knows?

I admire his efforts at spreading the gospel of Christ. However, I oppose the Palestinians for their support of terror, their refusal to negotiate in good faith, their stated desire to destroy Israel, and a host of other reasons.

Someone who is spreading the false gospel of the existence of “Palestinians” is not spreading Christ’s gospel.
