Gaza or Gateshead ?
1. Faith (NOT Religion) and who we trust isn't a state matter, and nobody on this thread suggested otherwise. We will be judged as individuals, it will have nothing to do with which country or postcode we were born in.
2. There has never in history been a state, county or country where everyone had an identical faith.
3. The promise to the Jews re the Land, was made to the offspring of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Not just to those who shared and practiced the faith of those guys.
4. The Promise of the scope of the Land didn't say that they would see 100% of the occupants of that land as people who shared their faith or even their bloodline. It was the fact that they would own the land and rule over it having respect for others who also live in that land. Israel is presently doing this (in a much smaller piece of land than God has ultimately given them), with Arabs living in Israel and owning their own businesses.
well given Abraham supposedly lived so long ago - although the pyramids at Giza were already 500 years old by that point.
it is statistically said that either everyone alive today is a descendant of him, or nobody is (the most likely reason being he didn't actually exist and was a literary construct).
that means it is an utterly pointless means to decide that any one group of people should have the land. either everyone owns it or nobody does.
Many black and 'coloured' people living in apartheid South Africa also owned their own businesses. But hey, if that is your definition of 'respect' in an ethno-religious state that passed the Nation State Law in 2018 I suppose that is your right.
It is also your right to use the word 'truth' as synonymous with faith. Utter nonsense, but you have every right to build your life and belief system around a series of incoherent, irrational and deeply racist fantasies.
One Truthpaste on a football message board is not a problem. It is a problem when those same medieval beliefs inform the actions of world governments - including Israel, Iran and Saudi Arabia, but especially the USA.
Only a Church of England adherent can be Monarch of the UK state and out in Israel although a fifth of the population are Arabs Arabic has been demoted from one of the official languages of the country alongside Hebrew due to the nation-state bill which states that Israel is “the national home of the Jewish people".
Very backward looking places are England and Israel.
I'm not so sure loads of people want to be king or queen of any country, including England.
And thanks for acknowledging that 1 in 5 people in Israel are are Arabs; an extremely generous stance from Israel given that certain Arabs have been aiming to obliterate them for many thousands of years and indeed NOW!
* Example (**SEPTEMBER 2021) >> "A top European Union official has denounced Palestinian Authority textbooks as “deeply problematic” after a study found that the educational materials promote antisemitic tropes, glorify violence against civilians, and erase Israel from maps of the region" - LINK
Obviously not, and neither do Israel as we see this from the fact that they welcome Arab businesses and families to settle and prosper in Israel.
It's remarkable how most people in these discussions view the actions of Israel through a microscope and everyone around them the same as Arsene Wenger when his centre half cuts the oppositions striker in half
They wouldn't be able to be if they were not CoE they would be banned from the position.
Haven’t read the whole thread (yet) but it always amazes and saddens me that a race that went through what the Jews did in the 20th century can behave in the way they do towards another race no matter the argument.
The deputy head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Monday that Tehran’s strategy was to eventually wipe Israel off the “global political map.” - Article
Yes, brilliant logic, they should allow anyone to have another pop at erasing them from history
By stealing Palestinian land, demolishing homes, ethnic cleansing, and treating Arabs in Israel and the occupied territories as second class citizens - in practice and in law?
Iran faces international sanctions. Israel gets a diplomatic free pass with the USA veto in the UN, is armed and funded by the USA, and has open lobbying groups that include organised sections of the two major parties in the UK parliament.
But if GOD has given Israeli Jews the ‘title deeds’ to other people’s land in the region all must be OK? That is your Zionist belief - but not the belief of a growing number of secular, socialist, younger and even Orthodox Jews around the world.
Churchill didn't win us the war , the men and women of all nationalities .......and he didn't like them ......did
He didn't do any fighting at all
And when it ended he carved up Europe and many people died in ethnic cleansing as he and others stood by
Don't bring him into this debate please 🙄
