Apparently, having possession 2,000 years ago is significant…except when it’s not.
It’s not my reason for generally supporting Israeli claims over Palestinian claims.
The Israelis won the 1948 war and every war after that. They have the right of victors.
my family use to own tons of bench front property on lake Huron I would like it back please its worth millions now.

If you think a 2000 year old claim should be taken seriously, then you need to grow up.

That’s true, but we have no reason to think God has anything specific to say about who gets which territory.

Israel doesn’t possess that land today because of some 2,000 year old fairy tale.
They possess it today because Great Britain took it by force from the Ottoman Empire and set the stage for the Jews living in the area to forcibly establish a state. Israel has then maintained their claim by force of arms since then.
What happened 2,000 years ago is irrelevant.
The arrogant proclaiming their own righteousness.

Here’s an interesting bit of Trump-Middle East Peace news.
President Trump once offered what he considered “a great deal” to Jordan’s King Abdullah II: control of the West Bank, whose Palestinian population long sought to topple the monarchy.
“I thought I was having a heart attack,” Abdullah II recalled to an American friend in 2018, according to a new book on the Trump presidency being published next week. “I couldn’t breathe. I was bent doubled-over.”
The offer to Abdullah of the West Bank — which is bordered by Israel and Jordan, and which Trump had no control over — came in January 2018. Trump thought he would be doing the Jordanian king a favor, not realizing that it would destabilize his country, according to the book.

“Book says.”
I’ve never heard anyone lie about Trump before, so it must be true.

Yeppers. Some of them killed his dad … he wants nothing to do with them.
Kinda like how Alexander 3 and Nicholas saw socialists etc through the lens of 1881.
They’re quoting King Abdullah.
