Stolen Land? Exploring Israel's Historical, Legal Claim to Territory

“This is part of the strategy to delegitimize Israel. Not only is there a Biblical mandate for the State of Israel, the modern State of Israel, but there’s a legal foundation as well,” said filmmaker Hugh Kitson. Kitson’s new film, “Whose Land?” disputes the accusation that Israel is illegitimate by examining the legal foundation established more than one hundred years ago.

If that's the case, Egypt isn't Islamic, Turkey isn't Turkish, Iran isn't Islamic, and so forth.

Quoting fairy tales to justify invading and stealing a land is BS. The Palestinians have owned that land for centuries. The Justification that it belong to Jews is the same as saying anyone, anywhere, at anytime can invade Africa and claim it as their homeland, since the origin of the human species is rooted in Africa.

Why are people bringing up scriptures? A man wrote that book for crying out loud. It was written to suit certain agendas. Yet delusional people still think it’s the word of god.

😂😂😂These Jewish people are not even from Israel. SMH.

The United States pays for 20% of Israel's military budget while Israel has a space program, universal health care, and still runs a budget surplus for six of the last ten years.

The land has palestinian, before 1948 there is Palestine state only, no lsrael. Israel must out from palestine soon.

[trishwragg]

Have just done a study of the book Joshua Bible has land rights given to Israel by the Lord God. God has always held the land rights, for Israelite occupation

Every side thinks its their land...anyone help me with the truth??

Free Palestine from the river to the sea

[kristinebell]

My understanding is in 1948 Israel took land from Jordan and either Syria or Lebanon not Palestine.

[rjbruh]

[TheVeganeater]

God gave them the land? You mean the idea that the god guy told them this is the land I give you, kill every man woman and child and leave nothing alive? This is the story that they want us to believe gave them title to the land? Mythology

The real land of Israel is more than the British empire said.
 Genesis 15:18-21,

“On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates — the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.’”

*Jeremiah 31:35-36(ESV)-35 Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar----the Lord of hosts is his name: 36 “If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the Lord, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever.”

باسم الله الرحمان الرحيم.
In the name of Allah the merciful:

Every single divine scripture which speaks about avenging the oppressed usually follows this scenario:
The Lord sends a messanger to the wrongdoers, urging them and advicing them not to hurt the innocent or plunder their lands anymore, if they accept they receive Forgivness and blessings, but if they refuse? The Lord sends a force of destruction, which is either a force of nature or a powerful ravaging army.

The so called israelis are doing it wrong, they were supposed to announce to the people of Palestine that "this land is ours and we urge you to return it to us", instead they were being all slimey and slithery about the whole thing. Going to Palestine pretending to be refugees, then slowly killing off the original population, just like their usa boyfriends...

But the issue is; the scriptures don't say that Palestine is their land, what actually happened was that Moses(peace be upon him) was told to bring the children of Israel(peace be upon him) to the holy land, once they reach the gates, Moses tells them that "The All mighty is ordering you to enter this land."
They refused because the land had strong people in it and so they told Moses to "go and fight alongside your Lord, we shall remain here"
And so the Lord had cursed them to roam the earth aimlessly for their disobediance for 40 years...
If I'm not mistaken, they eventually were given permission to go back and claim the land, but once they found solace in whatever basic livelihood that they could earn, they just ignored The Divine call and went about their lives.

And now some bankers who claim to be their descendants come slithering into the land, trying to summon "the awaited one"?
