Is judaism an excuse to steal Palestinian land and claim it as their own?

Jewish settlers claim that they have a right to occupy and steal The West Bank because God gave it to them.

No, I'm not a muslim, I'm an atheistic observer.

I think its important to view how the jews got Palestinian land in the first place. Many jewish people in Israel don't agree with the taking of palestinian land believe it or not. If anyone should be blamed it should be the British who told the Jews to go to this land and it could be all theirs when really it wasnt Britians to begin with... But i dont think i will go into full detail if all that is really being looked for is agreeance.

So? White Europeans used the same excuse to conquor the Americas.

So whatcher point?

does this look like the politics Q&A?

You do realize that the radical settlers do not have much support in Israel either, right? They're the equivalent of the militia movement here.

Also, there is really no such thing as Palistinean land, there was never any such country as Palestine, and they have consistantly rejected any agreement that would formally grant them a country, so they have nothing to call their own, and really nobody to blame but themselves. Had they wanted peace and prosperity, rather than dead Israelis, this whole situation wolud have been resolved by now.

I would agree that placing them there (it was the US and the UK that did it) was a HUGE mistake.

But they're there now, and they have the right to defend themselves.

Israel has never broken a cease fire, nor attacked without provocation. Israel is the victim, no matter what lies Hamas tells.

hey idiot, the land belongs to the jews not the muslims.

no that is what is called zionism

I say give it to the ones, who make it the most productive, besides the palestinians wont stop there, they are greedy and want it all.

Because you bring up the Jews, perhaps you should read their Torah, or the Old Testament of the Bible.

Israel's King David is recorded to have purchased the land now known as the Temple Mount.

It was Israel's land to begin with. The Palestinians are squatters on the land because they were kicked out of their own Arab nations, and none of those nations want them back.

you need a serious history lesson . They did not steal anything.

answer: No, they get that from G-d's promise and the fact that there was no Palestine - that was a name Romans gave the region. Palestine didn't exist until the British followed the Roman example and named the area what they wanted. The land was purchased or won when Israel was formed and 6 nations attacked and got their tails kicked.

When Jerusalem was in Muslim hands they refused to honor an agreement to let Jews pray at the Western Wall. In Jewish control, Muslims, Christians and Jews all worship in Jerusalem and Muslim sites are protected.

They didn't steal anything. Muslims didn't want most of the land until Israel revitalized the land, planting over 240 million trees, drained swamps and made the land blossom, NOW they want it back and cry persecution.

Jewish people have lived in the land of their ancestors from way before when. It is not stealing when it doesn't belong to someone else.

I believe that who tampers with the things of God are looking for the curses of the Bible to be on their front door. That means His requests,His word,and most important His people .'I know, who saied who are His people.' [By faith we all are, naturally,AND THIS MUST BE SAIED, THE JEWS are!] God himself called the Jews His people.And that's all I need to know, for me No more questions for God. That's naturally who is being questioned.
