It is why Oliver Cromwell allowed Jews back in to England after 350 years, he genuine thought it would bring about the 2nd coming of Christ.
All it actually brought about was the return to use of Jew burning towers in major British towns

Hamas is what you get when when the PLO and the PFLP are just too namby-pamby for you

A theory was being touted that the 2nd coming would be preceded by a big war in Israel. Some Christians actually went so far as to donate money to a special fund which help Jewish people to emigrate back to Israel. Some time ago (and I posted this) I spotted a magazine in out library's free magazine section titled the "Trumpet", after you know who. I also spotted one on Zionism. Sure enough the Trumped told of all the contributions to send Jews back and the "Zionist" printed a story which actually thanked these christian fools. SO it was and probably still is happening. These so called 'loving' christians are in this only for their own gain. They actually want to further this war. Also, too many progressives still think we have an obligation to the Jews because of the holocaust and can't see the hypocrisy in what is happening today, some 80 after the holocaust.

@jackjr it's still going on, Jack. Many in America especially have their bibles open to claim proof of this.

Not so easy as a lot of certain rights, water, oil and other resources are found in the Palestinian side. Israel is a small country with very limited resources. The number of inhabitants, Palestinians and especially Jewish are increasing dramatically. This war has caused an increase in antisemitism and the want of more Jewish people to escape back to Israel.

Sorry. HAMAS & the other Islamic terrorists should consider accepting the 2 state solution.

@jackjr I don't know about the increase in antisemitism. People conflate antisemitism and antizionism. Being anti zionist isn't antisemitic. And Israel isn't about to let land go to the Palestinians. They want it all, which is why they are killing the Palestinians.

@JonnaBononna, @Mooolah, @jackjr isn't all of Israel stolen Palestinian land?

@JonnaBononna THANK YOU. This is something most do not know. I have many secular, cultural or atheist Jewish friends. This ploy was created by the Zionist and Netanyahu and it has only served to increase antisemitism.

It was supposed to be shared after WWII but the Zionist movement started at the end of the 19th century and even back then moves were made to eliminate the Palestinians.

@FrayedBear yep, sure is.

@Mooolah you don't think they'd rather a 2 state solution than be massacred?? Israel needs to accept the two state solution. Ideally they shouldn't have stolen palestinian land for Israel in the first place. Not to say Israel shouldn't exist, but that was not ideal.

@JonnaBononna Little is ideal The crossroads of nations are always back & forth thru history. The Romans stole it. The Ottoman Empire stole it. The British stole it. The Judaics are indigenous to Judea. The Arabs & the Judaics are half siblings via Abraham. Israel accepts 2 states. Maybe not BB, but the Israelis accept 2 states. HAMAS & the other extremists seek to annihilate Israel, a democracy. There are no democracies in the Islamic world. Israeli Arabs enjoy thee fruits of their citizenship in Israel.

@FrayedBear All land has been disputed by migrants. The question is how do we reconsile our difference. Judea was stolen by the Romans. Then the Ottomans. Then the British. Then returned to the Judaics with some Arabs dissenting. So Americans should return the country to the indigenous? Thru out history the borders are constantly changing. Where does it stop? Ukraine has been in and out of Russia for centuries. The borders of the Austrian Hungarian empire has changed. Yugoslavia is no more. Its in flux, Borders are always changing & hence the dispute.

@FrayedBear Of course but for a good (not)cause - Lebensraum!

@Mooolah under Netanyahu it won't be a democracy much longer

@JonnaBononna The problem with 16+ parties making up a coalition difficult to over vote. Gaza has no such choice. Such a tragedy among so many in the world. Just too many people colliding for resources.
