Shhhhh! You are not meant to mention any of this...it smacks of genocide if you believe Zohar, and all non-jews as being sub-human - not at all the image that Israeli Judaism wants the rest of the Western World to see.
@ "and then" if this person you call "God" gave you Palestine, then what are you meant to do with it? It is a pretty parched and arid bit of real estate compared to other areas of the world - in fact I am surprised that He didn't give you somewhere like Tuscany, Lichtenstein, or even the rolling hills of southern England. Perhaps he kept the best bits for non - Jews???
To clarify - I'm not Jewish. But many Jews say the same thing in jest - "If we are the chosen, why did you stick us with THIS land"?
I don't claim to understand it all K... I just believe I will someday. And the Jews have made the desert bloom in a way the Palestinians never did. The Palis had agriculture of course - but never on the successful scale that Israel has shown. Very large natural gas deposits have recently been found there and large reserves of oil are suspected as well. So maybe the land is a better spot than it seems?

Also, the boundaries of Israel have never actually been fulfilled (yet). It is to stretch from the Nile to the Euphrates and south into Saudi Arabia a bit. MY God isn't constrained by the schedules of mankind

So you don't follow the Talmud then?
Nope, being a Christian I have no need of it. Coffey I don't feel a need to defend biased or racist stupidity - whether it's done by American rednecks or Jewish zealots. If you honestly believe that all or even most, Jews feel these admonitions are correct....then I think you are probably indulging in a little bias and racism yourself. And YES I understand the difference between Jews and Judaism. The Jews are no more monolithic in such deplorable sentiments than southern white men are in their opinions of blacks.
