No. The land was and always has been God's. Frankly, it was God himself who evicted them from the land for rejecting the Gospel....
"20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." - Luke 21:20-24
God brought this judgment upon them in AD 70 and evicted them with the Roman invasion. Then the Jewish people were scattered and led away captive into all nations as Jesus prophesied. This eviction is to continue throughout the entire time of the Gentiles. Biblical Israel will not be restored until the bodily return of the Messiah. Jerusalem will continue to be bombed and trodden under foot by the Gentiles until Messiah returns. It's part of God's judgment against them. The UN isn't God...so it had no right to try to lift that judgment and move into trying to rebuild the nation of Israel at the request of non-Christian Zionists. I predict that if Christ tarries....the Jews in modern Israel are in grave danger because God's judgment will stand firm...there may be another Jewish diaspora.
We've stepped between God and the Jews. He issued a judgment against them 2,000 years ago and we're trying to rebuild them.
When Biblical Israel is restored it will be an act of God at the return of the Messiah...not an act of the United Nations.
This is might get me in trouble here as I am not ant-semitic,I don't hate Israel or muslims,but radical Zionism and Islam are both scary and threats to Christianity.
My pray for both Jews and Muslims is that they find peace with God and become borned of water and spirit.
Judaism and Islam both deny that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.

I will say this Jesus and John The Baptist taught the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand or it is near,I can't see the Kingdom Of God being delayed I understand it came at Pentecost.
I understand the Kingdom Of Heaven is peace and joy and righteousness in The Holy Ghost.
Nor do I see the scriptures saying God stopped His clock at calvary.

Antipas, you are cherry picking your facts here. The partition didn't run "Palestinians" out of the Israeli side. First of all, the term "Palestinian" is relatively new. At the time in 1948 there was no state in what is now Israel and Gaza and the West Bank. NO STATE. going back to just after WW1 the League of Nations indicated that there should be a move towards the creation of 2 states in the area. the Partition was simply a follow thru of that much older plan.
It should also be noted that no Arab who lived in the Israeli side of the Partition had their land confiscated. and ALL were offered the right to stay and be part of the state of Israel. Some did stay and their families are still part of Israel to this day.
Some didn't and these joined with the 5 Arab states that attacked Israel in 1948. Israel won that war, and tried to force these Arabs that fought against them back to Jordan. Jordan would not have them back (many had immigrated from Jordan with the promise of land). Jordan wanted them to stay in refugee camps in the West Bank and Gaza because it gave them (Jordan) claim to the land.
That is also part of this story that isn't being told here.
Israel was perfectly fine with a two stated solution at the time and many Arabs in the Israel side were fine with it too. However some were not and the Arab states around them were not. It had very little to do with a store keeper wanting to keep his store and being run off by Jews.
I don't like having to put this one side out by itself. Anyone who knows anything about this history understands that there have been wrongs committed by both sides. Everyone ought to be able to agree that the sources of the violence are many and varied and trying to boil such a complex problem down to one simple thing. "Palestinians" want their land back". Is simply not accurate. Not because that isn't part of the equation but because it is only part of a larger and much more complex picture.

I will agree that there is wrongs on both sides of the fence as some radical jews kill Arabs and vice versa ,hate is wrong.All people need Jesus.
I'm agains't hating people and I think the Holocaust was one of the most radical and terrible crimes agains't humanity ever to be committed.
The only peace that any of these people can find is in Jesus Christ.

Digging, that list is impressive I suppose.....
But once again it is only part of a much larger picture. MANY of these sanctions by the UN were started by Arab nations pushing an anit-Israel agenda and if you dig into the action behind the sanction, you will find a perfectly defensable action.
