You seriously expect people to watch this? "Palestinian media watch", an Israeli based NGO?Accounts by older folk of how they came to leave Israel and become refugees.
I posted it up because it was simply the words of some of the early refugees, and gives some insight into why and how these particular individuals came to leave Israel. The last interview is particularly interesting.You seriously expect people to watch this? "Palestinian media watch", an Israeli based NGO?
If you guys care so much about Palestinians, why not try and read something from their point of view? I've never once read the Christian Zionists offer a shred of objectivity to the situation.
On one hand of the conflict there's a native population that the UN forced out their homes and has lived in squalor for 70 years. The other side has the most technologically advanced computer and military weaponry known to man, supported by the satanic Rothschilds and US war machine. You're brainwashed to feud with a religion equal to Christianity that actually praises Jesus as a holy prophet, while you suck up to a bunch of bankster-theives that worship the talmud and urinate on the crucifix.
Israel has manufactured an arpatheid state, broken international laws, regularly commits war crimes and ignores human rights. They won't get away with these crimes forever. The conscience of the world will arise someday and bring a just solution to the dispute. Internet hacking, censorship, spying, propaganda. physical and psychological warfare will not defeat the cause of right over wrong.
Palestine will be a free nation.
If they want a state, why have they rejected so many opportunities to have one?Palestine will be a free nation.
Not true. Links have already been given that explain the ethno-geographic identity of the Palestinians. The same families dwelt there for hundreds and hundreds of years, that's a fact. Judeans lived (peacefully) there as well but were always an extreme minority.... A lot of these economic migrants are the forebears of what today are known as the Palestinians, but a hundred years ago they were Syrian, Egyptian, Lebanese, and so on. Not that they aren't natives of the land now, but they don't have nearly as deep roots as people like you would like everyone to believe, and they certainly don't have more claim to the land than the Jews do...
Would I be right in thinking that because “Christian Zionists” believe that God has a hand in bringing back the Jews (as a people) back to Israel, you think we automatically approve of their spiritual position on Jesus or their policing or military policies?You seriously expect people to watch this?

I'm not Palestinian so I can't speak for them. It's a legitimate question.If they want a state, why have they rejected so many opportunities to have one?
I'm not sure what to think. You've expressed a natural affection for Israel, that's fine. We're entrenched in our beliefs but not once have I ever heard from you or certain individuals so much as, "hey, the racist and hurtful policies are not cool" or... "the people who praise YHWH need to rise up and be better." In a forum about politics and current events people are ignoring great injustice. It's not about religions, it's about human decency and world law. I mean, the Israeli military are intentionally sniping at peaceful protesters across a fence- not to kill... but to maim! Creating a population of young male amputees has to be one of the most devious acts imaginable, yet not a peep from the MSM (or people I expect to hear something from about it).Would I be right in thinking that because “Christian Zionists” believe that God has a hand in bringing back the Jews (as a people) back to Israel, you think we automatically approve of their spiritual position on Jesus or their policing or military policies?
I was once a school governor and was told that I needed to be a “critical friend” to the school. This meant that I should support the schools right to exist, have in mind what a good school ought to be and not give up telling the staff how things should be.
This conversation between a Jew and a Christian regarding the prophetic future of Israel demonstrated that relationship really well. I hope it might help shed some light on the issue which seems to be the most misunderstood one on this forum.
Often a nuanced voice is lost in the shouting, and nothing stops people hearing more than feeling angry and upset. I think the conversation between the two reveals a lot, and may challenge some misconceptions.I'm not sure what to think. You've expressed a natural affection for Israel, that's fine.

The Palestinians as a group are in trouble. I don't deny other Arabs and especially two-faced, devilish Saudis have turned their backs on them at different times. But some of the other accusations are lies. For example Hamas are elected representatives, just like Assad's government or Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood. I don't believe for a second the claims from the troika of tyranny that they're terrorists. It's only a way to resist negotiations that 90% of UN members are calling for.
Back on topic: I will watch the video you recommend but RSM I seriously hope you take some minutes to investigate why we reject the little anti-christ Kushner's offer to create a "New Palestine," and why so many of us are revolted at the offer of filthy $$$ in place of Palestinian nationhood.
The issue of Jews in the diaspora is never clarified. Those who have chosen to fight for and defend the state of Israel while staying put in the West. As we are told, they were to be regathered so that at the end of time, they can be converted. Are we talking only the 6/7million (excluding Arab population) here or even those in the diaspora?Would I be right in thinking that because “Christian Zionists” believe that God has a hand in bringing back the Jews (as a people) back to Israel,
It may not be your position but some Christian Zionists argue that all Israel’s trumpeted success, militarily or otherwise are evidence of God’s backing. Even when those successes require the most brutal methods.you think we automatically approve of....their policing or military policies?
No no thunderian, we want the factual historic sources that you were claiming to have. .I've been asking for a few years, but you always play games like this.
As I said in this very thread, Jews were living in Palestine before it was called Palestine. In the 1800's, Jews from the diaspora began to trickle back to their homeland, joining the Jews who have always lived there. Returning Jews bought land from those who owned land there, and they reclaimed waste land that no one owned or wanted. They didn't push any of the local Arabs off their land. They were outnumbered, for one thing, and they didn't need to, because there was plenty of land available. The land itself was governed by the Ottoman empire until about the end of the first world war, when the British took over.
As increased immigration by Jews began to generate more and more economic activity, Arabs began to pour in from surrounding Middle Eastern countries to take advantage of better conditions than at home. A lot of these economic migrants are the forebears of what today are known as the Palestinians, but a hundred years ago they were Syrian, Egyptian, Lebanese, and so on. Not that they aren't natives of the land now, but they don't have nearly as deep roots as people like you would like everyone to believe, and they certainly don't have more claim to the land than the Jews do.
In 1948, after the British administration of the land ended, and after Palestinian Arabs refused to form a country with the Palestinian Jews, the UN offered a partition plan for Palestine, with the land divided into a Jewish nation and a Palestinian one. The Jews said they would take what they could get, but the Arabs said nuts to that, and that's basically where we are today. There was never a nation or even a loose confederation of people called Palestine, but there could have been as far back as 1948, had they acted like the Jews and formed a nation, instead of blowing themselves and others up for the last 70 years, in protest of the Jewish state.
Most non-Christian Zionists believe that God still loves them, just as anyone else but that they lost their privilege/favor as a nation on the whole. Problem is, they do not want to acknowledge the loss and still think they are destined to be the bearers of light to the world. Whatever that light is:@Karlysymon - I think that there is much wisdom to be gained from reading Isaiah 42, 43 and 44 - I won’t post them up as nobody would read my post!
What is interesting here is that on the one hand, God is angry with the idolatrous stiff-necked Jews, and makes it clear that times of trouble for them will come. On the other hand, you sense his warm heart and the fullness into which he wants to bring them. We are not yet at that fullness, and this side of the Millennial reign of Jesus, it isn’t going to happen.
This is why ordinary political Zionism is such folly - man can not achieve by his own means (be it red heifers or third temples) the plans of God. He is sovereign and will do His will in the nations. In many ways, there is a spiritual lesson in the incident with Elijah and the alter. Without God’s intervention, nothing is going to happen!

As for the times we live in, I tend to keep my eyes and my mind open to what might happen, as I’m sure there will both surprises and deceptions in store. One of my favourite, mysterious verses of the Bible is Habakkuk 1:5:-
“Look among the nations and watch—
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you.”
I would suggest to you that the reason the Jews presently believe God has gathered them and the actual reasons for their return may be rather different...Most non-Christian Zionists believe that God still loves them, just as anyone else but that they lost their privilege/favor as a nation on the whole. Problem is, they do not want to acknowledge the loss and still think they are destined to be the bearers of light to the world. Whatever that light is:
David Ben-Gurion, the “father of the nation”, was a firm believer in the ‘mission’ [of Greater Israel], declaring: “I believe in our moral and intellectual superiority; and in our capacity to serve as a model for the redemption of the human race”. At the 2003 ‘Jerusalem Summit’, whose participants comprised three acting Israeli ministers (and included Netanyahu, and Richard Perle from the USG), the group solemnly professed: “We believe that one of the objectives of Israel’s divinely-inspired rebirth, is to make it the center of the new unity of the nations, which will lead to an era of peace and prosperity, as foretold by the Prophets”.
I hope you do not miss the anomaly of Richard Perle (think PNAC/9/11/Iraq war). Iam not sure if he is a Christian or observant of Judaism but I HIGHLY doubt. More so a secularist just as Ben Gurion was, at least thats what I read. I hope you can also see the oddity of these secular men who see themselves as tasked with a mission that is meant to redeem the rest of mankind. Again, whatever that redemption means…
And they aren’t the only ones. If you visit the website of the temple authority
https://www.temp-auth.org.il
You’ll find the same statements “bearers of the light to the world”. Ofcourse, that task will only get underway after sovereignty is achieved and possibly when the temple is erected and on the road to that Iran has to fall. It is a given, whether it happens this year, in 5 or 10yrs, its not a question of if but when. So, inorder for Israel to be the blessing, from God to the world (as they believe, ofcourse not everyone. We have to exclude some on the Left, atheists etc), the rest of the world has had to be brought to its knees and dragged through humiliation. The war with Iran will blight the future prospects of the present generation just as the Iraq and Afghan wars did. Again, I wonder, where do the statements above leave the whole theology of “God regathered the Jews for…” ?
Yeah I can't take one minute of this nonsense. I could care less about the delusional comments of Adam Eliyahu Borowitz, a propagandist living in occupied Syrian territory. Same thing for a lost, end- times evangelical. This is way off the topic of a corrupt "peace" plan hatched up by some of the darkest forces in the world.Would I be right in thinking that because “Christian Zionists” believe that God has a hand in bringing back the Jews (as a people) back to Israel, you think we automatically approve of their spiritual position on Jesus or their policing or military policies?

Could you explain why you are posting a video of Kushner speaking?Jared Kushner describes the outcome of the economic summit.
I think it’s the first time I have heard him speak!Could you explain why you are posting a video of Kushner speaking?
