I have thought long and hard about this subject, waiting almost a month until clearly and definitively knowing my mind and heart…and what exactly happened and what is happening. Sure, I had my initial feelings, but I wanted time for Israel to prove herself and the facts to come out…then to be sure about how I write it down.
First off, I had to remind myself that there is a difference between Israel the country and Israel the group of citizens…just as there is a difference between US federal government and the American people. Then the difference between Israel the country and Israel the Jewish religion. That was evident all the way back thousands of years when Israel had a king to govern the country and Israel had a prophet to lead the religious side.
And then there was the issue of what group of people has/had the right to occupy the lands…and for that we need some history:
- About 4000 years ago God promised the people of Israel the lands occupied by the Canaanites; says so in the Bible.
- About 3300 years ago the Israelites defeated the Canaanites and occupied the land.
- About 2700 years ago the land of Israel was conquered by Assyrians.
- About 2500 years ago Israel was freed by Persia who restored the lands to Jews, as well as some others.
- Then Israel enters a thousands year period of foreign occupation, war, and genocide at the hands of Christians, Muslims, and polytheists.
- In the 1800’s the Ottomans (Muslims) conquered the area and the British supported them. However, during this same times period there was a large Jewish migration into the region adding to the Jews already living there.
- When the Ottoman Empire fell during WWI Palestine became the name of the territory and was ruled by the British Empire.
- At the end of WWII, as the British Empire was falling, Britain retreated from the Palestine territory in 1947/1948. The UN proposed a 2-state solution for the area…for both Israel and Palestine. The Jewish people accepted the proposal, Arabs/Muslims rejected it.
- In 1948 at least five Muslim countries invaded the area after Israel declared itself an independent nation and the Muslims vowed to wipe Israel off the map and kill all of the Jews.
- In early 1949 Israel defeated the Muslim alliance and was now a stand-alone free and independent country.
So who is entitle to the lands currently referred to as Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank? The answer depends on if you Believe in God and the Bible…or not.
If you believe in God and the Bible then the Jewish people (i.e. Israel) was given the lands by God, then they defeated the Canaanites (multiple independent tribes) who occupied the land at the time. So the Jews/Israel have a legitimate claim to the land. Why? Because God said so and it is documented in the Bible, and settled by a war documented historically.
If you don’t believe in God…well, it gets a little more problematic. The people of Israel, Jewish people, defeated the Canaanites (multiple independent tribes) and won the land by default (spoils of war) about 3300 years ago. Granted, the land went back and forth from Jews to Empires to Jews to Muslims to Christians to Muslims to Empires…and then back to Jews in 1948 and confirmed in 1949 when the Jews won the war that the Muslims started. Several wars have been started by regional Muslim countries and groups in the last 75 years, but the nation of Israel have won each. So Israel has won the land in a war thousands of years ago and 75 years ago reclaimed those lands… and successfully defended them since.
So what about “Palestine”? Well, remember the word, used to define the geographical-political group of people didn’t come into actual existence until the earl 1900’s. Now, there is a group of scholars that advocate that the name Palestine refers to the people called Philistines. Problem is…there is nothing definitive to prove that to be true. But, even it is…the first record of the Philistines is approximately 100+ years after Israel conquerors the Canaanites. And it was the Philistines who came into and tried to take away the land from Israel about 100 years later…but Israel beat the Philistines when they invaded.
And then there is the inconvenient actual historical name of land occupied by the Philistines…it’s called “Philistia”…yeah, not “Palestine” regardless of how language “experts” try to do word convolution.
There is one more issue to discuss…DNA. The people of Gaza, Palestinians, reportedly share some Canaanite DNA, my research shows that to be true. And the Palestinians have previously used that to “prove” they are the rightful people to occupy the land of Israel…because it first belonged to the Canaanites. Well, there is a complication here…first, Israel beat the Canaanites and took over that land as a spoil of war. Second, Israelites also share some Canaanite DNA. Ah so, the DNA argument is offset since both groups of people share some Canaanite DNA…hence, an equality of claim.
One way or another…Jews are entitled to ALL the land of Israel…including Gaza and the West Bank…period!!!
So for all of you Americans that want to disagree with me…well, then all the citizens of the US need to leave the United States of America and return the entirety of the USA over to the French, Spanish, and British. And they need to then turn their land holdings in North American over to Native Americans who were here before them…the original people. What is fair in the Middle East has to be just as fair in North America!
Let me as clear as possible…Israel has a legitimate “right” one way or another to their lands in the Middle East…ALL of them…including Gaza and the West Bank.
Last month Hamas terrorists attacked Israel slaughtering men, women, children, toddlers, and infants. They raped, sodomized, beat, tortured, and beheaded hundreds…others they shot, bombed, and burned alive. It was nothing less than an atrocity carried out by sub-human Muslims. And those same Muslims have been trying to exterminate the Israeli people for over 75 years. And yes, those Muslims took over where Hitler left off…after Hitler killed more than 6,000,000 Jews.
If you can’t see that…then you are either of immense stupidity, incredible ignorance, have a soul cankered with darkness that knows no depths, or a serious misplacement of priorities. It is NOT a matter of religion and it is NOT a matter of who’s land claim is legitimate…it is a matter of a people with shear hatred and satanic desires in their heart…the terrorist Muslims. It is a classic and ultimate example of good vs evil. And Israel is not the bad guy here…they are not the evil here.
Think about this for a second…if the US was attacked by hundreds of Canadian terrorists sponsored by the Canadian government…killing 55000 Americans, injuring 112000 Americans, kidnapping more than 9000 Americans…what would you have the US military do to those Canadian terrorists?
And you knew the Spanish government funded the Canadian terrorists, gave them the weapons and the training to launch the attack…what would you have the US military do to Spain?
Does that help clarify the situation…and Israels right and obligation to respond?
But who does the US federal government stand with? You might think it is Israel…but you would be wrong. Yeah, you could point to air craft carriers, military advisors, White House statements, etc…but would you be looking at reality, the truth?
The last year of Trump’s presidency Iran had oil revenues of $14billion. Remember Trump placed sanctions on Iranian oil in late 2018, when he stopped Obama’s Iranian nuclear weapons program deal. That year, before the Trump sanctions, Iran made $50billion in oil revenues. Trump dropped that by by 72%, then Biden became president.
Not only did Biden restore the Iranian nuclear weapons program, Iran’s oil revenues jumped to $38billion in 2022…and $55billion in 2023. The truth of the matter is…Biden has given Iran an additional $65billion in additional oil revenues!! And then gave Iran an additional $6billion in cash just a couple of months ago. AND…put Iran back on the path to nuclear weapons…the path the Obama designed. And what country funds, arms, supports, and directs Hamas, Houthi, and Hezbollah? Yeah, Iran does…imagine that!
And during this same time period…Biden has given 100’s of millions of dollars directly to Gaza and even more to the surrounding countries…all of whom have attacked Israel at one time or another in the last 50 years.
So who does Biden and the us federal government REALLY support?
Is the country of Israel perfect? Nope! Is the religion of Jewish people perfect? Well, God Himself calls them “His people” but probably not considered perfect based on Christ’s teachings. Is the government of Israel perfect? Hardly. Are Israelis without blame of doing anything wrong? Obviously not.
85 years ago virtually the entire world stood by and allowed more than 6million Jews to be slaughtered…a genocide of men, women, children, and infants. Should it be allowed again? Should we turn a blind eye again?
Hell No!
Let Israel defend herself. Let Israel wipe this Islamic terrorist group off the face of the earth making EVERYONE safer! We, the USA, would defend ourselves…let Israel do the same!
I stand with Israel !!!
I stand against Islamic terrorism ! ! !
I will not be silent, I will not be blind ! !
I stand with Israel !!!
I stand on my principles…what do you stand on and for?

To fight against Israel is to fight against God. It’s a no win. I agree our country needs to support Israel and one way of doing that is to secure our own borders. The number of sleeper cells here is unknown. What we do know is that terrorism will happen in many places across the country. Avoidance of highly populated venues is good sense. Securing our homes is also smart. Places like Malls and theaters as well as sports arenas are high value targets for terrorists. No one wants to have happen to them like what happened to the Israeli families. That said many are sitting ducks for terrorism. Love Israel; Love the USA; Love your families.

I stand with Israel! When I learned about the terrible Hamas attack and Israel’s justifiable declaration of war, I received a spiritual ‘Knowing’ that I was witnessing events that are VERY similar to the start of the final Nephite war. I suspect that Israel will be in continual war until the Coming of the Savior to the Mount of Olives.

Me who do I stand with? Certainly not this FUSA federal government. They are sending our tax dollars supporting other countries that I could give two shits about while that very same federal government is facilitating the invasion of the FUSA through our borders!! I have been hounding my representative for months, secure the damn border first stop this invasion of third worlders into the FUSA. Secure the borders first, then we can talk about sending tax dollars to countries that hate us. Oh one more thing, “when your enemies are killing each do not interrupt them”. Billions sent overseas as congress lets the homeland be invaded. It is the planned replacement of the Heritage American.

Amen!!!!!
Our federal government is nothing like our Founding Fathers envisioned! Actually, what we have now is what they despised…and eventually overthrew.
There is no question that the invasion at our borders is intended/planned. Otherwise…they would be the most worthless bunch of inept morons that the world has ever seen. The solution is not complicated nor difficult…they simply have no plans/intentions to stop the invasion.
Our money should be spent helping us first…the America First concept/principle. But again, the federal government has no intention of anything putting American first.
Yes, I stand with Israel…but, I stand with America first!
AH
