Does Koran recognize Jews’ ‘Deed of Ownership’ regarding Palestine as the Promised Land ?
86549
Koran recognizes Jews and their prophet, Mosa as well as Christians and their prophet Jesus. Koran also recognizes that Jerusalem is the Holy Land of Jews. But this can't interpreted as a deed of ownership. \n\nJews always try to distort it by purpose in order to make Moslims to serve them for the establishment of Big Israel State between two rivers, exactly like how they convince Christians that it is a Christian duty to support Jews cause they are chosen, etc.\n\nMoslims are not taught to be hate Jews. Moslims respect them and the fact that Jerusalem is their Holy Land. Their greedy unrealistic Big Israel Utopia which is covering whole Middle East and their violance in Palestine make Moslims hate them. \n\nSee, we respect them, their Holy Land, but as usual, it is not enough, they ask for the deed of ownership. \n\n\n[62-6,7,8] : Say (O Muhammad): O ye who are Jews, if ye claim that ye are the favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then long for death if you are truthful. But they will never long for it because of all that their own hands have sent before, and Allah is Aware of evil-doers. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! the death from which ye shrink will surely meet you, and afterwards ye will be returned unto the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.

Don't get me started on this subject. I believe and some historians agree that the only true originals of that area of the world is the Palestinians every Jew is not genetically connect to the original people only religously.\nNotice most of the Jews that came back to "take back their land" came there from European countries. I have no problems with Jews at all but the facts are most Jews of wealth and knowledge were taken away by the Romans in the \ndays of Roman rule  inter-bred wth  the local people and convert some to Judaism.This is over 2000 years!\n The ones that stayed were invaded by others and eventually became Islamic and called themselves Palestinian.\nThe only reason the major countries of the world support Israel is because the Jews control the banking industry of the world.They got the money! I told you not to get me started.

I'm  Muslim and i have nothing against the Jews, but I'm 100% against the Zionist state of Israel. before Israel was declared the Jews, Christians and Muslims lived together all over the middle east in peace. it wasn't until the migration of the European Jews (Zionists) who came from all over Europe and settled in Palestine which has been a British colony since the first world war. when the Jews of Europe moved to Palestine they started their terrorist operations against the Native inhabitants of the Land and specifically the Muslims and Christians. they burned their houses, killed many and drove the rest out of their homes into the deserts. in 1948, the state of Israel was declared by the UN and the land was divided into two states, with the Jewish area consisting of roughly 55% of the land, and the Arab area roughly 45%. Jerusalem was planned to be an international region administered by the UN to avoid conflict over its status.\n\nthe Arabs knew that this is done by the British super power to put the Arabs in their place plus they felt that the land is being officially stolen therefore the 1948 war started which resulted in the defeat of the Arabs and Israel gained an additional 26% of the Mandate territory west of the Jordan River. Jordan, for its part, held the large mountainous areas of Judea and Samaria, which became known as the West Bank. Egypt took control of a small strip of land along the coast, which became known as the Gaza Strip.\nEstimates of the final refugee count range from 400,000 to 900,000 with the official United Nations count at 711,000.The continuing conflict between Israel and the Arab world resulted in a lasting displacement that persists to this day.\nImmigration of Holocaust survivors and Jewish refugees from Arab lands doubled Israel's population within a year of independence. Over the following years approximately 850,000 Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews fled or were expelled from surrounding Arab countries and Iran. Of these, about 600,000 settled in Israel; the remainder went to Europe and the Americas.\n\nfor those atrocities that happened in the past and still happening until now. I feel my rejection of the state of Israel is justified. and i understand how the Arabs feel.\nbut to be practical and look for peaceful solutions i came to agree that if Israel pulls out of ALL the occupied territories (1967 borders) i think there might be a chance for co-existence between Arabs and Jews. after all we do worship one God and from the same origin.\n\npeace!

Yes.  Isreal is defined as a Jewish State, so therefore granting voting rights to Jews only will preserve the identity of the State of Isreal as a Jewish State.\n\nMore important than an ethnic majority, however, is a cultural majority.  A nation must define a culture and demand investment in that culture by its citizens.  The more dynamic the culture, the more dynamic the society.\n\nA nation is defined by its borders, its language, and its culture.  Detstoy any one of these three pillars of the tripod, and the whole thing comes tumbling down.

Palestinians been living there since we know time.  Now there comes militans Zionst Jews claiming it was there land 5000 years ago.  Zionsts came with major fire power and snatched it away from Palestininans.  What if I came to your house and told you I used to own this land 5000 years ago and I have God given rights, what would you do?

The United Nations seems to think so.\n\nIn 1947, following increasing levels of violence by Jewish militant groups together with unsuccessful efforts to reconcile the Jewish and Arab populations, the British government decided to withdraw from the Palestine Mandate. The UN General Assembly approved the 1947 UN Partition Plan dividing the territory into two states, with the Jewish area having roughly 55% of the land, and the Arab area roughly 45%. Jerusalem was planned to be an international region administered by the UN to avoid conflict over its status.\n\nImmediately following the adoption of the Partition Plan by the UN General Assembly on November 29, 1947, David Ben-Gurion tentatively accepted the partition, while the Arab League rejected it. Several Arab attacks on Jewish civilians soon turned into widespread fighting between Arabs and Jews, this civil war being the first "phase" of the 1948 War of Independence.\n\nOn May 14, 1948, before the expiry of the British Mandate of Palestine at midnight on May 15, 1948, the State of Israel was proclaimed.

Here's the deal:\nAccording to the Bible, the Jews were ordered by God to take over that land, which was then called Canaan. The Jews did conquer it but were forcibly removed by the Romans in 70 and 135 AD from the land after their revolts were crushed.\nThe Jews returned to that land in 1948 after Israel was re-established as a nation by the UN, so don't let anyone tell you Israel is a rogue nation. Israel has the right to exist; it came into being legitimately. The Palestinians claim to have ownership of that land, but this is not true.\nThey claim that the Canaanites were Arabs, when they were not. According to the Bible, Noah had three sons, one of whom was Shem, the ancestor of the Jews and Arabs. The Canaanites came from the line of Ham, Noah's other son. So the Canaanites were not Semites, therefore they were not Arabs. The Canaanites are gone and so are their descendants, so there is no one left to rightfully fight the Jews for that land.\nThe main problem is misdirected nationalism. The Palestinians didn't even call themselves Palestinians until AFTER 1948. The Palestinian people are merely a ploy being used by the Muslim nations to regain land that was lost to the Jews. After all, according to Islam, any land that is conquered in the name of Allah can never again come under non-Muslim rule, or a Jihad, or Holy War, must be declared in order to regain that land.\nThere are elements in the media that affect this conflict. The Palestinian media greatly brainwashes the youth of Palestine into believing a warped view of history.\nSo in short, religion has everything to do with this conflict, nothing else really matters. It's Judeo-Christianity vs. Islam.

How man interpretations are there of the Koran?

When Isreal was formed as a country in the late 1940's the area was uninhabited.  The people had every right to be there.  They took no one's land and did not bother anyone.\n\nUnfortunately, Islamic Law does not tolerate non-muslims.  In fact the Koran is very clear that the ultimate goal is for Muslims to take over the world.  Because of this, the people of Palestine and other Muslim countries have been trying to push out the Jewish people since they settled in modern day Isreal.  \n\nIsreal is the only source of sanity in the middle east.  It is the only free people. Despite what most news outlets say, the Muslims in Isreal have more freedom than they do in thier native countries.\n\nThe western world should support Isreal as the only bastion of freedom in the middle east.

No, Koran does not state that. Instead, There are lot of verses that mention about freedom of belief.

If you were naive enough to believe what you hear on the news and media, you would think there is an entity called a "Palestinian people," who lived in a "country/state/area" called Palestine since Canaanite/Biblical/Muslim times. You would almost believe that the Israelis occupied "Palestine" in 1967. And you might even think that the Palestinians want the occupiers out of their land. And of course, you might feel, they are entitled to do whatever it takes to get their land back.  No?  No.  Not at all,  Here are the facts. \n\nWho are the Palestinians? Palestinians are Arabs. They have no historical, national or cultural identity distinct from other Arabs of the region. Most of them came into Palestine in search of economic opportunities after World War I when the British and the Jews began to build up a land that was moribund. \n\nWhat is Palestine? When the Romans conquered Judea, they renamed it Palestine. Since then, no occupying power ever made it an independent state or established a capital in Jerusalem. Under the Ottoman Empire, it was part of the province of Syria. \n\nAfter World War I, the area was mandated to Britain to establish a Jewish national home.  Instead, in 1922, Britain split off 75% of Palestine to establish the Emirate of Transjordan, as a throne for the Arabian Hashemite family. \n\nThe UN decided to split the remaining 25% of Palestine between Jews and Arabs.  In 1948, five Arab armies attacked the newborn State of Israel.  Transjordan annexed the area intended for an Arab state, and renamed itself the Kingdom of Jordan, calling the annexed area the West Bank.  Egypt took over Gaza.  No Arab suggested making the West Bank and/or Gaza into yet another Arab state until 1967, when Israel was again attacked by the Arabs and took these areas. \n\nWhether or not she chooses to exercise the right, Israel owns the West Bank by right of conquest and by biblical rights.  Before 1967, the last previous legal owner was the Ottoman Empire. And Turkey, heir to the Ottomans, has never asked for it back.

Your question is not clear in its meaning. If you are asking when will the people living next to Israel have their own state, my answer is as follows.\n\nNations controlling the lands now referred to as the Middle East, after the 1st & 2nd World Wars divided lands and placed them under monarchs and autocrats. Following the 2nd World War the requests for restoration of a Jewish state where all Jews would be allowed entry was accepted, mainly in answer to the Holocaust and to many seeking refuge being denied entry into any other nations. The newly formed United Nations formed a plan to provide both a Jewish & a Palestinian state. When implemented, the Jews accepted the plan and the palestinians (mainly natives of Jordan) rejected the plan as did all the arab nations in the region. They immediately declared war upon Israel and pledged her eventual destruction.\n\nWhen the arab nations and their peoples accept Israel's right to exist, securely and in peace, and renounce terrorism as a political means, then they will have their own state.

Well I put my self in the Palestinians shoes and if some person took my land and made me live like a refugee in my country I would be pritty defensive to put it lightly. Especially if people born in other countries like the US came and tryed to say its there land because they are Jewish, WHAT? its a faith not a right to take some poor Palestinians land.

When the Jews moved back to modern day Isreal the land was unclaimed.  They did not steal any land from the Palestenians.  \n\nUnlike Isreal the United States is populated and the American people have a claim on the land.  Land has until recent years always been conqured and redistributed.  It was in fact the United States which led the way to end such practices in the western world.\n\nI do not mention this to downplay what happened in the U.S. I am part Cherokee and am saddened by many of the things that have happened in America's past, but the whole story is no longer told or is skewed in modern history textbooks.  Some of the native lands were actually sold to the colonists and yes the Indians did have a sense of ownership over the land and knew what they were doing when they sold it.  Most of the wars between tribes were in fact land disputes and this took place before European colonists started arriving as well as after. While some theft of Indian property and isolated incidents of attacks on individual indians did occur during colonial times it was not until the 19th century that the slaughter of tribes and the forcible relocations of people took place. In colonial times most people actually thought that the Indians were white, and that their skin had just been tanned by the sun.

You guys need to talk to a history major! For goodness sake the US feels guilty because of the Holocaust. But no, Israel did not take land from the Palestinians, Israel has existed longer for crying out loud. The Palestinians were a little bit more radical that the Jordanians so they were kicked out and they wanted land so they laid claim to land that belonged to Israel. And as an American I don't hate Muslims, what I hate is someone who claims they have the right to kill in the name of a religion at all. If you're going to kill just say its because you're a bad person who enjoys the pain of others, not because you're religion told you so. The Bible, the Koran, the books that the Jewish, Buddhist, and what a lot of the other major religions say is to not kill, so stop hijacking religions and lets get to the frigging point. Every religion historically has been used by someone, the Muslims aren't to blame, the murderers of the world are.

The Koran considers the Old Testament, and some of the New to be holy texts. It considers itself a religion that builds off of Judaism into something new. Jesus and Muhammad were not the same person. There are a few centuries between the establishment of Christianity and Islam.\n\nSo while both are Holy Texts based on the Abrahamic tradition, they aren't mirror images of each other.

Yes some of us do. I honestly do not understand why we have never recognized a Palestian state. Clinton tried his best to get Arafat to accept that when he was president. When Arafat died, I saw on PBS that he stated declining Clinton's offer was his biggest regret.\n\nSome of us do believe it wasn't right for outside nations to walk in and give land to a group of ppl ... creating Israel. BUT, it is done and can't be undone now. \n\nLike I said, if the world would just give Palestian a state with set borders, I really think 90% of the conflict would at least BEGIN to get resolved.
