Border Conflict
Empires, countries, and states since the beginning of time have gone to great lengths to defend and enlarge their borders. Nowhere are borders more controversial and disputed than in Israel.
Since its inception, Israel has had to fight to keep its land, and has more than once been pressured to give up land it claimed when it was attacked. In 1947, prior to Israel’s independence, the U.N. Partition Plan attempted to define the borders of a Jewish and Arab state. The Arabs rejected the plan out of hand, and after Israel subsequently declared its independence, the neighboring Arab countries invaded.
However, Israel emerged victorious – and with an area 50 percent larger than had been allotted to it in the Partition Plan. The state at that time did not, though, include the Golan Heights or East Jerusalem. The Six Day War, in 1967, changed that as Israel annexed the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem, reuniting the divided Israeli capital. Israel began settling the area and creating villages.
Israel defeated Jordan and Syria when the Arab countries attacked, and has kept the land it won in battle (in some cases for defensive purposes). But many have called for Israel to return to “pre-1967 borders” – in other words, a land without East Jerusalem, without the West Bank or Gaza Strip, and without the Golan Heights. Some who believe the land rightfully belongs to Israel have compared this to Britain demanding that the United States return the thirteen original colonies, or Mexico reclaiming Texas. Somehow, though no other country in the world would entertain the thought of returning land it conquered in a war, Israel is expected to do so.
Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005 caused a great deal of concern for Israelis. Many feared – it turns out, realistically – that unchecked Palestinian control of Gaza would lead to more terrorism at Israel’s doorstep. Israel, they contend, needs “defensible borders,” borders which strengthen and protect Israeli citizens, not undermine that security.
Many Israeli leaders have been adamant about not returning to pre-1967 lines, but the pressure from the international community is great, and in the eyes of many, the Gaza withdrawal was viewed as a first step toward capitulating to those demands. Most leaders believe that retreating behind pre-1967 borders would leave many Israeli citizens defenseless.
What do you think?
12:57 am
ok so can anybody give me any reason why israel has a right to west bank and gaza and golan besides ” its the land god gave them”?
8:53 pm
In the beginning God created the heaven and earth. Since God owns the entire heaven and earth, He has the right to give any part of land, to whomsoever He wants at anytime.
4:59 am
Hi Nasser, how come you live out there that you do not know this fact, I live in Indonesia and I do know that the entire land belongs to the Abraham and his people, as The LORD has promised Abraham about it. You can read the Holy Bible as it is more than Camp David’s Agreement and you will know the fact.
Thanks you
3:57 pm
Because Israel captured the land in a defensive war from Jordan and Egypt in 1967. The so-called Palestinians have never owned that land.
1:15 am
nasser, this aticle really seems to have bothered you- but yes, to answer your question:
Whenever Israel’s Muslim neighbors occupy strategic positions, they commit acts of terrorism from them. Frankly, I think that Israel should be turned loose to sieze and occupy any positions they think would enhance their security the moment even one rocket, or one raid, or one suicide bomber attacks them from that area.
“Peace” comes when we destroy the authority that establishes chaos. Shalom.
6:28 am
Let’s look at this from a persptecive not necessarilay related to the Bible. There was a war. Israel won. They get to keep the dirt.
10:54 pm
I know if the blood of my sons or brothers were spilled in defending or fighting a war for our country and our country won a certain parcel of land there would be no way I would be willing to just give it back.
3:07 pm
ok so to start the first two comments are biblical which is exactly what i wanted against. secondly soldiers from america once fought to get rid of the nazi regimes in Germany does that mean germany
3:10 pm
should be part of america? what about japan? israel should be turned loose? have you all gone mad why are jewish isrealis seen in your view as so superior to everyone else?? this is pure facism.
5:23 am
Jews aren’t superior, they just have a higher calling. Shalom.
8:15 pm
They have a higher calling= they are better and you are facist
8:35 pm
nasser, a higher calling = a difficult job to do; and I’ve been called worse and, frankly, at times deserved it. Not this time, but I can live with it … shalom.
1:11 pm
Nasser_The truth is that both sides of the jordan, israel and jordan should all be the land of israel. You were given your state by the british and it was called jordan. You have your palestine and we have our homeland so why not start and claim back jordan.
8:54 am
under what pretext should they be the land of Israel?
8:31 am
It’s curious that the name of Obama isn’t mentioned as one of those advocating a return to the pre-1967 borders. If George Bush had uttered those words,the Jewish community would be all over him!!
11:27 am
g-d gave the land to the jews and as ablessing to all who stand with Israel.Your people will be my people and your G-d my G-d.The lord will destroy Israel’s enemies.Bless ISRAEL
8:17 am
Defend your borders, Israel, and if you run out of ammunition, give us a call.
9:04 am
Israel should not move it’s borders back to the 67 lines until obama agrees to move the USA borders back to the 1492 original borders.
5:06 am
I agree with the comment about returning lands won at a War which was started by an aggressor…..why do only Jews have to do that? We wouldn’t be Americans if that were true.
5:32 pm
If the Arabs would put down their Weapons,there would be peace tomrrow,in the middle east,if isreal would put down their weapons,there would be no isreal tomorrow.I stand with Isreal!
7:07 am
I believe israel has every right to defend their border’s and the jewish people have every right to israel and should be recognized by every nation and country in the world
7:18 am
I believe the Holy Bible…this is Israel’s land.
They should keep what God has given them. God is still alive and He has promised their protection.
These muslims terrorists are a bunch of cowards and Obama seems to support them.
Israel, fight for what God has given you. God is on your side…who can stand against God?
2:48 pm
Israel’s land is nobodies to give, the land belongs to God and no one can have it. it was promised to the children of Israel and it must not be divided, whoever tries will pay the price from heaven.
11:35 am
President Obama is one of them. Let him prove his citizenship and that he is not a Muslim.
1:44 pm
I believe what the Bible says,Israel is GODS CHOSEN LAND AND IF ANYONE THINKS THERE GONNA TAKE IT THEY WILL SEE WHAT GOD HAS IN STORE FOR THEM, I PRAY DAILY FOR PEACE IN ISRAEL, MAY GOD BLESS THE HOLY LAND AND HIS PEOPLE, AMEN
5:01 pm
ISRAEL DOESN’T GIVE UP ANY LAND,SHE DOES HAVE A RIGHTS AS A NATION. OVER OBAMA’S OBJECTIONS 67′S BORDERS. GOD WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS ISRAEL.WHERE ARE YOU?
10:49 pm
How about Israel move her borders to that which was initially given to her by God?
Those borders are listed in the Torah,
Old Testament.
8:44 pm
Since I’ve been saved I have come to understand the beauty and promises from the Lord for Israel.She has been gathered from all four corner’s of the earth to dwell in the land that God has given her,Spiritually she may be asleep but all that will change someday and they will see Him whom they’ve pierced,and they shall mourn for Him as one who mourns the loss of a child.They will recognize and know that Jesus is the Christ the Son of the living God Creator of man and beast and all that is.Maranatha,Jeannette
2:16 pm
I support Isreal fully and believe she should keep all the land rather than return to the 67 borders
1:07 pm
I totally support the Israelis & their fight for there borders. DON’T GIVE ONE INCH OF LAND THAT THE ONE & ONLY GOD GAVE TO YOU!
5:56 am
Amen!
12:40 am
Both arabs and jews have to live together in peace. Rather they have to do something for their country’s development instead of fighting against each other.
8:43 pm
Read Psalms 83:4-They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
This is the Arab’s manfesto and always has been. Everytime we (USA) stick our noses in Israel’s businees nothing but bad things happen. We wonder why tornadoes and flooding have taken our nation over in the past month? Our President needs to back Israel thouhg the stars fall. The promise given in Genesis 12:3- And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
This is the truth wether you belive it or not. God bless Israel and America needs to bless them too.
10:27 pm
The issue is NOT about Israel’s borders. It’s about a jealous hatred of the people of G-d and a denial of His son.
5:51 am
The destiny of the Jewish people is intrinsically linked to their land – the WHOLE land of Israel…When the international community pressurises Israel to give up ‘occupied ‘territory, I am constantly reminded of God’s impending judgement of the nations for their anti-semitism and their insisting that Israel gives up her God-given land. (Read Joel 3: 1-2)
8:53 pm
This is beautiful brings tears to my eyes. Obama should be sent these. He is bringing judgement against America in every way. God bless you and lord have mercy on Israel and the U.S.
10:59 am
Yes God has blessed and given Israel ITS LAND JOEL 3:17, 19 “then you will know that I, the Lord your God, dwell in Zion, my Holy hill. Jerusalem will be holy, never again will foreigners invade her.” “But egypt will be desolate, Edom a desert waste, because of violence done to the people of Judah, in whose land they shed innocent blood.” SHALOM ISRAEL GOD BLESSED you forever!
7:21 am
Isreal, you are my sister in Christ. God gave you the victory in 67 as well as many other victories. HE is bringing you home. Comparing to the amount of land God gave you after the Exodus, you have given up enough. You are the “apple of HIS eye” and I stand FIRM (unwavered) by your side. My life long dream is to walk on your streets. God Bless You Isreal and may God’s light and strength shine on you, forever.
11:29 pm
Israel took nothing from anyone; she reclaimed lands that were hers for thousands of years and had been given her as a heritage by G-d. Jews were literally driven from other countries where they were being slaughtered by the millions, they had no choice except to go ‘home’ to Eretz Israel. It was their only sanctuary and their only hope of survival as a people. Palestinians had been in the land for hundreds of years, it is true. They were given opportunity to stay and become part of the nation building… they did not choose that but added their voices to those calling for the annilhation of Israel. Palestinians have several countries where they could be at home and at peace and rebuild their lives and economies: instead they have chosen to remain and be a thorn in the side of Israel and of the world. No concessions of land for Peace has ever worked; Israel must stand its ground, its survival depends on it. The Arab world must accept and recognize this fact: only then will there be peace in the Middle East. Unfortunately, peace is not what they want: they want the sons of Abraham driven into the sea. And that is not going to happen… not again.
11:26 pm
As surely as God promised Abraham the Land of Israel, he has watched over his word to perform it. Therefore, Israel has every right to defend themselves and their country from fanatics with evil intentions. Stand strong Israel. Be Blessed.
3:11 pm
Israel belongs to G-d and G-d has chosen the Jewish people to dwell in the land.Peace will not come from a relinquishment of the land by the jews,but by the teaching of civility and respect for the Nation and people of Israel.Until that happens there is nothing to negotiate.May G-D continue to bless Israel and the U.S.A.
2:49 pm
As for nasser’s comment back in Nov., the Egyptian Constitution may have a guarantee about freedom of religion, but it sure seems to be ignored a lot, what with all the sectarian violence that’s been in the news-and that’s only what has been reported.
What I’ve never understood about the Arab-Israeli conflict is, the Arabs/Muslims have several holy cities and probably a host of shrines, the Israelis really only have Jerusalem, and even that is rather hotly disputed by the Muslims. It seems to me that, since the Israelis won Jerusalem fair and square-correct me if I’m wrong, here-as well as the rest of the occupied territories, only after being attacked by a vastly superior enemy in almost every way, why should they be expected to give any of it back?
1:30 am
YES DAN. I AGREE WITH YOU.
DO WE NEED MORE PROOF? SATAN IS BEHIND ALL OF THIS! SUCH HATRED ROOTS HAVE ONE NAME: SATAN HIMSELF!!!!
11:09 am
your history with the jews hmm? oh ya you mean the history of six million dead in gas chambers which the arabs had no part. you mean all the persecution of jews by christians in europe? and you claim you are the defenders of jews? you know what you are the true obsticles for peace in the middle east i am arab and have many israeli friends we do not hate each other you fundamentalists just want to create hate for your own religious apocalyptic visions. seriously stay out of the middle east you have never lived there and know nothing about it.
11:00 am
Are you talking about the millions of Jews that Hitler killed and exterminated ? He was not a christian, he was a murderer. Christians love all people, all religions, same as God so loves the world. True believers of Jesus Christ do not hate, we love every one. To hate other people is to murder, that is what the Bible says, God said it. So you are wrong, we love you but you hate Christians, who is the loser her?. Whoe is the winner here? God bless you my friend
4:39 am
I’m afraid you have it wrong Nasser. This website represents the Christian community who love the Jewish / Israeli people. By your own comment, it seems your the one inciting hate not us.
12:59 am
yes you love the israelis but hate the arabs? again just stay out of the middle east and let us handle our problems if it wasnt for kinds like you we probably would have something worked out by now
2:23 pm
Nasser: I believe God gave the land to the children of Abraham. But let’s leave that out for a moment. When Israel was established, by UN decree, the Jews invited the Palestinians to remain and join in building a nation. They left. The surrounding Arab nations vowed to kill the Jews and drive them in to the sea. They have been trying to do that since 1948, but each time they tried, they lost more land due to military defeat to a people determined to survive and build a secure nation for the Jewish people. For the last several decades, the Arab policy has been to commit small scale terrorism within Israel’s borders, while trying to force Israel to give up land to the Arabs they had lost and cannot regain militarily through terrorism, and through coercion diplomatically. Why should the Israelis trust you? If you could, you’d just attack again and wipe them all out. But you can’t. So you whine to the international community hoping they will force Israel to self destruct by giving back land which brings your artillery and rockets closer to their main cities. You rely upon international hatred – or try to stir that hatred up – toward Jews in order to gain what you can’t gain by military action.
But trust your good will? When have you ever demonstrated that? You assassinated the only Arab leader who did. You cannot be trusted, and your whining falls on deaf ears (or it should, at least) due to your entire history of dealing with the Jews, your stated desires for the extermination of the Jews and their nation, and the Koran’s injunction to “convert or die” to the world. Bah. We stand with Israel and God’s people. To the end.
6:36 am
Bill, your comments are eloquent, poignant, and factual. I completely agree.
2:04 pm
I do not agree nor believe that Israel should give her land, not for a second!
I do believe what God said to Abraham and *if* the Bible is true (which I believe it is), then the boundaries God himself gave to Abraham still stand today.
It is completely irrational for the “international community” to attempt define Israel’s borders. Of course we Christians support Israel, we love them and will always defend her and her people and I fully believe what God said “I will bless those who bless you and I will curse (ouch!) those who curse you…”
What can we say to that????
2:02 pm
Israel is God’s promise to his chosen people. You don’t want to be against Israel when you do this you are going against God. I stand for Israel because no one has the right to take away there land they have fought for for so long. God bless Israel and i pray that America will stand beside Israel if we don’t we will bring the raft of God down upon us.
5:29 am
We are behind you with prayers,one thing, believe in GOD as promised and remember you are chosen ones dont forget and keep to the LORD Only shall we serve, King of kings and prayer for us too HAUSA’S are killing our people.It shall come to pass Amen.
1:09 am
A warning is written for us the Tanach in Proverbs 22:28 “Do not move back the long-standing boundary marker that your forefathers established.” This warning is also repeated other places in Proverbs. Giving the haters of our people “Israel” even a little land is like giving a treat to a child who lacks discipline, wisdom, and an understanding heart and then dumbly expecting them to actually act in a befitting manner. All that child will do is keep missbehaving more worse than before each time in the expectation that you will give it an even bigger reward the more they missbehave in order to silence them for a moment. In psychology this is called “reinforcement”. The more Israel caves in to the tantrums of their enemies the more they “reinforce” their ememies behavior for further tantrums in the future. The way the enemies of Israel behave is a part of what is called “Classical Conditioning” in Psychology. These “conditioned” behaviors have are instilled in these people by the older generations that came before. Being that people do not come out of the womb hateing others these “conditioned” behaviors can be changed over time. Our people Israel needs to really put their trust In Hashem and sense He is The Big GOD and not a little god there is a Strong need for all of us to ask Him for His advise on what to do, how to do it and when.
7:34 am
Israel should never and ever submit to the desires of this fanatics.The earth is of our God and the fullness thereof and he has given it to us(christians).Let the fanatics ask their dead gods to give them land that is if he has any.
11:23 pm
The land of Isreal is theirs, for them to live within. As such they should not live in the fear that that do today. As a USA citizen I feel that this country and the rest of the world should be supporting the Isreal country policies and providing what ever support is needed for the poeple of the country not just to servive but to thrive and be prosporous. If we let down Isreal by not supporting them we let down the whole world because the enimies of isreal will take over the rest of the world the same way. we al will loose.
10:41 pm
God’s word tells us that after a time he will bring all of his children home to Isreal. Isreal is back just aS PROMISED. This with the more and more returning every year. Isreal was scattered because they failed to trust only in the lord their god. Now they are being pressured into trading land for peace. God want;s them to trust in him for their security not land deals. Every time they have made the trade war has followed forcing them to fight and take the land back. When God said you will live in the land I gave your fathers …He Meant It! Isreal in americas only real ally in the middle east.
8:29 pm
A map to depict the borders of Israel to understand this issue would be appreciated.My view is every country has a right to its land and that sovereingty must be respected and guarded from incursions to disturb it.Harold fernando
10:55 am
Israel should not give up anymore land. We were compliant before and thought we were giving up land for peace and what happened was that we gave people who wished us to disappear a piece of our land. Egypt was the exception, and I pray that peace continues.
5:35 am
Long Live Israel. Fight for your borders.
6:31 pm
This is a daY in which we should be very excited and encourage God’s people to NEVER GIVE UP an inch of the land GOd has given them. Do not be afraid, “Fear not: stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you TODAY. For the Egytians you have seen today you shall never see again. THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU, AND YOU SHALL HOLD YOUR PEACE AND REMAIN AT REST.” EXODUS 14:13-14
11:38 pm
If the land alloted to the tribes of Reuben and the half tribe of Mannasse Is now belonging to Jordan, why should Israel again continue to submit a further claim of their land.God Is sending back the Israelites from other countries home, where are you going to settle them If you compromise the land of their Inherritance?Never ever surrender a foot of your land.God Is with you and we shall pray with you on this Issue-Long live Israel
4:10 am
I pray for the Peace of Israel. As others have said here, these demands seem very unfair to Israel.
You have my support!
12:11 am
The Bible tells us that all the nations who interfere and try and divide Jerusalem will be torn to pieces. Jerusalem will become a burdensome stone. Israel is God’s time piece. When Israel was formed Again in 1948 as the Bible prophesised, Jesus said the generation that sees this miracle will not pass away. Jesus is at Heaven’s door. Israel is God’s land. I STAND WITH ISRAEL.
12:01 pm
If Israel and the world Jewish community fail to be proactive,rather than reactive regarding their security and rights as a nation, it will crumble. Israel and all Jews must set the terms for secure and fair borders (e.g. annexing Judea and Samaria as well as Gaza) as well as telling the international community that any nation or group which threatens the State of Israel will be destroyed…etc. Only by swift and total punishment will Israel gain respect as a force to reckoned with.The only way Israel and the Jewish people will ever gain the respect of its neighbors is not by giving away its precious land to sworn enemies, but by declaring their plan to annex land west of the Jordan as well as the Gaza strip, period. Peace without justice is coercian and appeasement. It’s our choice.
1:10 am
WELL STATED, JOEL!!!
11:45 pm
you are all nutjobs we do not live in a time where conquering land means you have a right to it you claim israel to be a 21st century free nation and you use this mideval reasoning for them to get as much land as they can
2:59 pm
israel has all rights to claim and defend the Gaza strip. this land was given to them the jews by the almighty God. How there man to fight or pas legislation against God’s will? Israel will we conquered by its enimies for a short in the future but in the the Lord himself will desend from heaven conquere back the country and establish his throne in Jerusalem with israel been the capital of world. Dont give up or heed to international pressure israel God is by your side U got to keep standidng up for what is rightfully yours
12:25 am
this is the same kind of fundamentalism you acuse us arabs of you claim god is the one to give it to them you know nothing of gods will besides israel was founded by atheists.. it dosent matter if your parents beilived in judaism that dosent automaticlally mean god will accept you especially for a god they dont beilive in. im sorry this is the 21st century that argument about god and chosen people is invalid.
7:57 am
Nasser, The Bible is the “WORD OF GOD” and it states that the Israel was given to the Jewish people. This can never be out dated or considered invalid! There is no need for name calling, mabey you just don’t have all the complete facts. Jews were here before Arabs and Christians. Muslims arrived about 600 years after Christians. And Jews were already occupying Israel. Every day more and more archeology proves Jews were there LONG before any Muslim or Palestinian! The only NUT JOBS I see are the ones firing rockets daily and killing innocent civilians in Israel and throughout the world by supposed Islamic extremists!
11:04 am
really? i am the extremist when you are the one saying god gave gaza to the jews and therefore they have a right to bomb it? i am the extremist when you are the one saying the arabs should leave because the jews were there 2000 years ago? hey it was people from your religion that killed six million jews in the forties it was people from your religion like martin luther who engraved anti semitism into christianity and i am the extremist? maybe you dont have your facts right about who is the real killer
7:19 am
Nasser. Islam conquered Egypt after Egypt was a predominantly Christian nation for roughly 6 centuries. So, tell us truthfully if you are working to free Egypt from Muslim domination since Egypt was militarily conquered by the Mohammadists and see it returned to any former predominate peoples.
7:29 pm
well leo i am a muslim and i can tell you islam did not neccessarily conquer egypt as the native inhabitents did not resist much. besids the point when did i bring egypt into this you know you cannot drive a car looking through the rear view mirror you cannot keep crying about the past to justify israels injustices today. also i can tell you the egyptians never left they jsut adopted a diffrent culture. before christianity was there they had their own religion and culture so do not say we are the conquerers. and what muslim domination? the constitution of egypt says all religions have a free stance in egypt if you have ever been there you would know the christian communty in cairo and alexandria is vibratn
2:12 pm
nasser it dont matter who founded israel according to the bible GOD gave it to the jew,we believe that the bible is the word of god,
2:27 pm
steven it dosent matter what makes your bible any more valid than the quran or the books fo other religions you are no better than the people who used islam to attack america in 2001 no diffrence you are using rligion as a pretext to kill
6:02 am
Do not give 1 more inch up of israel up.the more you give back the more the ememies of Israel will try to get take back . until israel is not longer. Trust in the LORD!!!
ROM 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
6:52 pm
there are no other options but to keep what land you gain, and to serve the people with actions and gifts to welcom those who join the greater good for prosperity ,and let them secure
them selves and what they have been given with intell straight to Israels security joining the cause for Israel, and the people who work for this earn the right of land then take more land.
8:32 am
Anybody can seek permission from the gov’t of Israel and stay there but nobody should attempt to take their God given portion.I pray that God strengthens the IDF to crush their enemies while people of good will continue praying for their success.
9:15 pm
I would like to know why there is no pressure by American Christians on the President to honor former President Bush’s pact with Israel concerning the weapons and armments that Obama had redirected elsewhere. Of all the evils that America is guilty of Ie. abortion, homosexuality to name only a couple, the one that scares me the most is the fact that the left led by Obama is pulling away from Israel as an ally. This is dangerous for America to literally pull out from under God’s protection as a friend of Israel
5:53 pm
The U.S. has never been an ally of Israel. Only those inside our country who love Israel ever influenced or restrained our various government administrations regarding her. Fortunatel, there are many of us, but let us be realistic. The good news is that of all those who love and support Israel, is God Himself. And if He is for us, no one, absolutely no one, can stand against us.
Shalom and Maranatha
8:37 am
When Israel fully returns to the Lord God YHWH, God will fully return Israel and the land He promised to them in covenant. Biblical history bears this out!
Psalm 122:6 instructs us to: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem” and explains that there will be peace within her when their people love God. Then, they will be secure!
Romans 11:26 promises that: “All of Israel will be saved” when it no longer has a “hardening in part”.
I love God, and love the Israel He wants to bless when they come to with their “whole heart, their whole soul, and their whole strength” (Deuteronomy 6:4)
8:42 am
I totally agree. The Promised Land given to Israel by God, can not be negocieted. Every inch belongs to the people of Israel.
12:56 am
“‘though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken’ … says the Lord, who has compassion on you” (Isaiah 54:10, NIV). THE LORD BLESS JERUSALEM! AND ISRAEL. THE LORD IS WITH HIS CHOSEN!
3:06 am
Isaiah 62:1-5, “Regarding Zion (Israel), I can’t keep my mouth shut, regarding Jerusalem, I can’t hold my tongue, until her righteousness blazes down like the sum and her salvation flames up like a torch. Foreign countries (Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Palestine) will see your righteousness, and world leaders (U.S.A, Russia, Britain, Italy, France et al) your glory and you will get a brand-new name straight from the mount of God. You’ll be a stunning crown in the palm of God’s Hand, a jeweled gold cup held high in the hand of your God. No more will anyone call you rejected and your country will no more be called Ruined…. ” (Message Bible). This prophesy shall come to pass in Jesus Name.
5:01 am
Amen!
4:40 pm
my prayers are daily with israel…i also pray for
myself, that even under the threat of death….
i will never denounce israel or the chosen ones..shalom….doral
2:24 pm
Why should Israel give up its land? The land was originally given to them by God. God has chosen them as his very own. To stand against them is to stand against God. I for one want no part in anything that goes against God.
9:20 am
We (as Americans) had better decide real fast where we will STAND. These are God’s chosen people…I’m on God’s side!! I don’t think Israel should have to give up anything that is hers. They have fought and died for their country just like we have in the support of freedom all over the world. It is EVIL that this one tiny country can’t seem to keep what they have fought for. We should do all we can to help them.
9:37 am
The 12 tribes of Israel given by Father should be rightfully belongs to Israel today. This is the Will of the Father. International Rights watchgroups & authorities should Not be imposing restrictions on Israel just because Muslim countries controls a large portion of Middle East.
7:16 am
Israel seems to always be having to submit to unreasonable demands from a world that will not do the same. I support Israel’s claim to its land. We should heed what is being done to them. We may be next if this is allowed to happen to them.
11:04 am
I fully support the right of Israel to define its borders. Is it easy for any nation to be able to protect its territorial integrity when almost completely surrounded by enemies?
6:41 pm
Isreal belongs to the jews,it is their land, given to them by God, according to the Bible, he will see they keep it. They have fought for it, since the beginning of time and no one has the right to tell them what to do with their own country. i stand with Isreal.
9:01 pm
Israel has not received all that God intends her to have, but when she does the world will throw it arms up even more, demanding what I expect will be won as Israel defends herself.

Israel’s enemies are fanatics. They have no intention of giving up. Fanatics such as these do not spend their lives fighting for a bad cause and then decide to quit their war. It took 46 years after WWII to bring down the Soviet Empire– with millions killed in proxy wars during that time.

If it were up to me or in my power I would dispatch all of Israel’s enemies once and for all;I am a Christian and believe all Christians and the United States should stand for the Jewish peolple-they are after all Gods chosen children.

Gary, “dispatch”? What do you mean by this? It could easily mean “kill”. As I am also a Christian, I do not believe God’s heart is to kill those he’s made in his image. Arab Genocide is not how this issue will be solved.
