When are the Arabs going to return to their homeland in Arabia ... and end the occupation of all the lands they brutally conquered?

Bold Brooklynite,
I don't mean to cause continued controversy. And I really don't have anything against Jewish people.
I simply ask if your claim that the land was "given" to Israel is based on Genesis 35:10-12?

You misread what I wrote ...

... I said the land wasn't "given" to Israel ... the land was Israel ... meaning that this group of Canaanites were the first civilized people to inhabit that particular stretch of land ... they didn't conquer it by killing and forcing other civilizations off it.

The Arabs who occupy north Africa, the Levant, and Mesopotamia today are there because they killed and conquered previous civilizations who lived in those places. The Arabs have a homeland in Arabia ... and that's where they belong.

BB,
Thanks for the clarification. I guess I misread.
Jacob's name was changed from "Grabber" to Israel, "One who prevails with God".
My guess is that legitimizes everything.
I'll ask Pope Urban II, Richard II, and Saladin what they think when I meet up with them in my afterlife. "Who do you think really owns it?"
I'm a bit partial to the Hittites and the Hivites...maybe we should give it back to them, as the present owners have made a mess of it. Just my humble opinion.

Pgardn,
The question was already asked.
Seems that "claims" will always be justified in "their own minds".

As you stated, "wonderful".

This AM, I wasn't quite awake (still working on my second cup of coffee), but didn't the Israeli ambassador to the UN declare war this morning?

Wonderful.


btw, I look forward to Bold B's response to current events with evidence to the Romans. LOL!

I have not watched the news. Just went over headlines in various papers. I read nothing about this. So it could have been on the news.

As I said, I was still a bit cloudy...but I think I heard this. "Act of war"...
It should be all over the news soon enough.

Once again you seem obsessed with responding to my posts. Please do your mental health a favor by putting me on your Ignore List.

Idiot,
I was having a diologue with Pgardn. How do YOU think you are involved?
Put me on your ignore if you don't want to hear the truth about your stupidity.
You are very mentally ill. Get help.
