Ezra Chapter 1:1
And if you read this
you will also see that he returned all of their possessions with them?
The Jews originally
inhabited what is now Palestine, then called Israel, during the days of the
Roman Empire.
The Jews were
forcibly removed from their homes during the Diasporas (dispersion) and that is
when they started turning up in Europe and other places in the world.
Throughout history,
the Jews were scapegoats for many of the world's problems, and they found
themselves being persecuted in their new lands.
There were many
"mini-holocausts" in which Jews were targeted and killed (especially
in Russia).
At the turn of the
19th century, a movement called Zionism started.
After WW-1 England
got control of Palestine and the Jews began pressuring England to allow them to
immigrate back to Israel, now controlled Palestine.
WW-2 the main
holocaust happened.
The Jews of Europe
have been virtually obliterated.
If they are lucky
enough to be alive, they certainly have no homes to return to.
Once again, the
pressure was on England to allow them to return to Palestine/Israel.
Israel, a new
country, expanded its territory into what the UN had declared Palestinian
territory.
By 1967 many of the
middle eastern countries were fed up with Israel and a war broke out.
It was short and
Israel was the victor, ensuring more land for the Jews (actually what was left
of Palestine, the West Bank and Gaza Strip).
So the Jews forced
the Palestinians off of the land that the Palestinians had occupied for
thousands of years
specific land that was ancient Israel.
So now the big
question is,
should the world force Israel to give back Ancient Israel
because
the Palestinian were land grabbers after the hundreds of assaults by many
countries in the area?
If so then
the world
must force Canada and the United States to give back the land of the
"First People"
because both countries were squatters after the many
Native Americans Holocausts?
