Much of this article was previously published in March of 2017. It still resonates with truth and is even more pertinent today due to the current crisis in the Middle East. Those who, without hesitation, support Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations, do so because they refuse to see the truth. Instead, they prefer lies, that the so-called "Palestinian" people are the real downtrodden people, kept down by Israel.
It bears repeating often regarding Palestine and the so-called “Palestinians” that the entire thing is a construct by those opposed to God and His agenda, though God will certainly win the day. What is clear today is that those who constantly push a two-state solution in Israel have no real understanding of the facts involved. Instead they go by "feelz," which results in them believing the lie that "Palestinians" need their own homeland "returned" to them.
First and foremost, people referred to as “Palestinians” are simply Arabs. It is important to understand that going back to the Old Testament days, a group of people known as Philistines inhabited that area of Land. However, that area was part of the land that God gave to Abraham’s descendants. Why? Because the Philistines, like virtually every other culture then had become a stench to God’s nostrils (figuratively speaking). Because of the sin and corruption evidenced by the people living throughout the Land that God had earmarked for Israel, God’s intent was to use the nation of Israel to root those other cultures/groups out and/or destroy them from the Land.
What people do not understand (because they do not believe in God or in His Word), is that this earth belongs to God (while it only appears that Satan controls it). God, as Maker of heaven and earth and everything that is encompassed in His Creation, has the right to do whatever He chooses with any portion of this earth.
A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. – Psalm 24:1 KJV
People opposed to God and His purposes have been deceived into believing the following lies:
Israel no longer has any claim on "Palestinian" Land
“Palestinians” have the right to at least some of that Land
“Palestinians” are a people who have been badly mistreated by Israel
“Palestinians” must share in any solution to the Middle East peace process
In 1948 when the UN gave "permission" for Israel to once again become a nation, at that same time, a two-state solution was offered to Arabs then (in 1948). It was roundly rejected by Arabs. [1] In fact, Arabs there have always refused a state [2] making it clear they are not interested in a two-state solution at all, but prefer Israel and all Jews to be ousted from that area of the world. The belief that they actually want a two-state solution is propaganda. Even if they got it, they would not be satisfied with it.
As everyone knows, since 1948, there have been constant conflicts and problems in the Middle East with the many Arab nations surrounding Israel continuing to create problems for Israel through shellings, bombings, and other attacks. Things came to a head in 1967 with the Six-Day War, in which Arab nations attacked Israel without provocation on the Sabbath (that's the normal M.O.; to attack on the Sabbath). While it appeared that Israel was losing, within a week or so, Israel gained the upper hand, turned things around and won that battle. Because of it, Israel gained even more land than she had been given in 1948. Spoils of war.
Immediately, the Arab nations cried foul and demanded...
