The belief that Israel is built on stolen Arab land has become orthodoxy among the anti-Israel movement. It is dangerous fiction in need of correction.
Excellent historical summary. The Arabs’ most effective weapon against the Jews has always been toxic lies, which mixed with 2,000 years of entrenched Jew hatred and blood libels, spew forth a deadly poison. The evil that fueled the Shoah is still with us, but now, thank Gd, we have the means to defend and protect ourselves. And fight we must, on all fronts, always.
While this article traces much of Israel’s history, it doesn’t go back far enough for anyone to truly understand where this hatred in the hearts of the Palestinians and Arabs for the Jews really came from. I can’t discern whether it’s because no one wants to mix the Biblical history into the story or if the writers aren’t believers. The Palestinian and Jewish hatred began with Abraham and Sarah and an Egyptian woman named Hagar who worshiped Baal. Sarah and Abraham were promised a son although they were very old. Sarah, as it is with most women, couldn’t wait on Gods timing and brought a concubine, Hagar, into her and Abraham’s home for Abraham to have a child with. That son was Ishmael. After several years Sarah did have a son for Abraham named Isaac. You can guess the rest, as Abraham had to choose which son would get the birthright of being the fore bearer of Jesus Christ. Of course his choice was Isaac as he was the son promised by God.. Hagar and Ishmael were banished. Still God promised Ishmael that he would be the father of a great nation, even though God said Ishmael was a wild donkey of a man. It’s the same today, the hatred is the same and will never change. The Palestinians believe Mohammad was the true savior and they are descendants of the lineage of Christ. The same demons worshipped by Hagar are still in play in the world. It’s not about the land so much but about the lineage.
Jews are the indigenous people of the land of Israel

Thank you for this explanation 🙏 There is great dignity in speaking the truth. Tragedy is born and bred from lies.
Thank you for this true lesson in history. The blind version that the so called Palestinians tell, is a travesty!
Inshallah Palestinians will stop bothering Israel.

Of course. To encourage them to go back to their own land.
