Thanks for the links:

The second link gives a great view on maps of what Israel was supposed to be, but for some reason from the Sykes-Picot Agreement, it skips forward to 1923 without mention of all that took place in between those two dates

Before I start I want to address one thing in particular, the name palestine. This name was given to Israel and Judah by Rome in the first century, done so after the Roman destruction of the Temple, and the sending the surviving Jews out of the Land of their Fathers.

There is no such thing as ancient palestine, or palestinians they are descendants of Arabs. They are not the descendants of Philistines the Philistines are deceased as well as the original inhabitants of the land of Cannon they have no descendants and there is no group other than the Jews, that have an ancient claim to the area.

I am sure you know this, but I’m sharing this to stop any Arab “palestinian” sympathizers from wanting to hijack this thread for their own agenda.

Once again I will debate this with anyone but they will lose.

Look at the entire Balfour Declaration, for more information on how Israel should look.

An encapsulated history of The Balfour Declaration

The 1894 Dreyfus Affair in France was the motivating force to Jews in diaspora to seek a return to their homeland.

A letter from British Foreign Secretary, Arthur James Balfour to Lord Rothschild in which the British made public their support of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Lord Balfour gave the Jews their homeland, consisting of all of Jordan and the land west of the Jordan River.

The final version was issued on November 2, 1917, in a letter from Balfour to Lord Rothschild. The main body of the letter quoted the decision of the October 31, 1917 British Cabinet meeting. In 1920, the League of Nations ratified the Balfour Agreement.

In 1922, under pressure from the Arabs, the British and the League of Nations took away Jordan. This declaration was accepted by the League of Nations on July 24, 1922 and embodied in the mandate that gave Great Britain temporary administrative control of Palestine.

In 1939, Great Britain reneged on the Balfour Declaration by issuing the White Paper, which stated that creating a Jewish state was no longer a British policy.

It was also Great Britain’s change in policy toward Palestine, especially the White Paper, that prevented millions of European Jews to escape from Nazi-occupied Europe to Palestine.

In 1947, the UN offered the Partition Plan, it was rejected the Arabs. When the United Nations recognized Israel as a nation on May 14, 1948, the Arabs declared war on Israel. Against all odds Israel defended herself, but Jordan took the West Bank.

In the 1967 war Israel took back the West Bank and all of Jerusalem which was, and is legally hers by international law.

what i found out was that israel is approximately 8,000 square miles… to put that into perspective: new hampshire, massachusetts, and new jersey are all LARGER in area… in fact, there are only 3 states that are smaller than israel (connecticut, delaware, and rhode island)… kentucky is 5 times the size of israel, mississippi is 6 times, and arizona is 14 times the size of israel…

israel is only 8,000 square miles…
compare that to jordan at approx. 58,000 square miles (and over 7 times larger); syria at approx. 115,000 square miles (and well over 14 times larger); iraq weighs in at about 275,000 square miles; eqypt is approx. 620,000 square miles (and over 77 times larger); iran is over 1 million square miles (which is 125 times the size of israel); and saudi arabia is a whopping 1.2 million square miles (and over 150 times the size of israel)…

[all figures are approximate and can be found in encyclopedias, travel guides, etc. but i had to convert from kilometers to miles, hence the rough estimates… but you get the picture]

consider also that israel is only about 40 miles wide, and in some places is less than 10 miles across from east to west (one source says 3 miles at its narrowest part)… further, the “west bank” (better known as judea and samaria) is 5,860 square miles while the gaza strip is 130 miles square… the arabs want these 2 pieces of property, along with the golan heights… (actually they want the whole thing, but that’s for another post)…

while i was looking up geographical information, i stumbled across a very informative site that can tell this story and paint this picture much better than i can… i would encourage everyone to check it out… it’s a very short and easy read; but through the use of multiple maps, it is VERY enlightening…

just go to:
www.masada2000.org/geography.html

the historical page also uses maps and is very enlightening…

what the “international community” wants israel to do is nothing short of suicide…

good point!… in the spiritual realm, it does make sense… satan (and his minions), in their last ditch effort, think that they can change the ending of the book by killing off the jews… however, they tried to stop Jesus from coming the first time (it didn’t work) and they are not going to stop Him from coming the second time… no matter how many folks they kill off…

satan is delusional (i guess that’s what happens when you think too highly of yourself and exalt yourself; you become delusional)… satan has deluded himself into thinking that his plan would work… the height of his delusion is when he sets himself up in the temple of God, proclaiming that he is God… (and this is the same thing that he teaches his followers to do… to be delusional and to worship themselves as mini-gods)… how easily they will follow the antichrist… the global culture is preparing them now…

anti-semitism only make sense in the spiritual realm… it doesn’t make sense in the “natural” realm… i don’t know how all those secular humanists reconcile it with their views of tolerance and acceptance… oh, that’s right; that’s just a cover so that they can exalt themselves and practice their mini-godhood…

but i know you already know all of this, remnant… i’m just writing it for the internet viewers…
:~)

One reason for Anti-Semitism, is the strong belief among the luciferians that if you kill off the Jews, you change the ending of the book! Make sense?

if ever there were a group of people that should be protected by a “hate crimes bill”, this is it…

the venom and vitriol that these people carry in their hearts for the jewish people is surpassed only by their ignorance…

sheer hatred is what is behind anti-semitism… and for what reason?… i just don’t get it… (must be something going on in the spiritual realm… because on the surface, it just doesn’t make any sense)…

and this is one of the reasons that i support israel and the jewish people… because i don’t think it’s right that people hate them without a cause… it reminds me of a schoolyard with bullies on the playground ganging up on one frail child that has nothing… it turns my stomach!… so, of course i will speak up for israel and against her bullying enemies… israel has a piece of land (smaller than new jersey) with chunks taken out of it like the holes in swiss cheese… and her enemies continue to bully her for more… those big fat enemies surround her (have ya seen the size of those countries) and want to take away more of the little bit of land that she has… it’s downright repulsive… and whosoever sides with the bullies is repulsive to me, too…
