The Jews believe they are God's 'chosen people' because they were descendants of Abraham, with whom God had made a covenant. The Israelites were to serve as a visible example of God’s heavenly arrangement.
Allegedly, because of their imperfections, they failed to carry out their God’s wishes. For their disobedience, they were cursed. Are we witnessing the effects of the curse throughout the history of the past 3,000 years?
The Jews have been expelled from 79 countries all of them either Christian or Islamic, sometimes more than once, yet they have survived by their grit, cunning and most of all their intelligence.
The Jews believe they have finally returned to their promised land. The only place in the world they can confidently call 'home'. They will fight to the death to defend their land and ruthlessly destroy all who threaten them.
The Arabs who are the majority population who lived on this land from the time of the Ottoman empire along with Christians and Jews claim this land exclusively as theirs. They call the land Palestine and themselves Palestinians.
The people who call themselves 'Palestinians' and their supporters loudly chant "from the river to the sea".
They mean that 'from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea' belongs to them and that the Jewish people must be exterminated. Why do I say exterminated?
This has been the openly stated aim of the vast amorphous majority of both Christians (religion of love) and Muslims (religion of peace) for a long time. Because of the vast number of followers and their global footprint, they persist in hounding the Jews. Whereas the Jews relatively minuscule in numbers depend on their influence, cunning, wealth and many hidden supporters to resist. Sadly with the failure of diplomacy, Israel has decided to disregard the opinion of others and now openly confronting their enemies using their military.
