You may protest when you read this headline.  "No one knows the whole truth about Israel and the dramatic situation in the Middle East", you will say.  Wait a moment. Let me explain what I mean. If you read and listen only to today's media, you will find out that most of them give you a wrong impression, after my opinion. 

                     Who is behind today's media?

Today's media, of course with some exceptions, are inspired and directed from the Arab world, which again are inspired by the Muslim thinking and hatred toward Israel and the Jewish people. The Muslim thinking has it's basic understanding from the Koran and from the different charters of the enemies of Israel. Hamas f.ex. calls its charter for Allah's charter. 

                         Israel has come home at last. 

The country that Israel has come back to, is promised them 4000 years ago of God, expressed to the three patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  The Muslim world calls this homecoming "the Zionistic invasion and occupation of Palestine", which is wrong, of course. They call Palestine the Islamic warf, and they say that they will fight for "their" country to the bitter end. They call the 1948 war and the 1968 war for a jihad operation of the Islamic brotherhood, and they neglect the fact that it was Israel who won those battles. Among other utterances they refer to Bukkai and Muslim: "The prime time for the Islamic world has come.  We will take up the battle against the Jews and kill them. If the Zionist Nazis hide themselves behind stones and trees, the stones and trees will shout: "Come and get them, come and kill them!" This is the spirit of the enemies of Israel. But the fact is still the same:  Israel has come back to her homeland to stay there for ever. 

               God keeps his promise to His people. 

The faithful God, who has promised this land to Israel, will never, ever break his promise.  Of course we know that the Jews experienced "a Diaspora" after year 7o A.D., but since 1948 the Jews have returned to their own land by the millions.  They have come from many, many countries in the world. For many hundred years they have spoken out in their homes and in their synagogues:  "Next year in Jerusalem!"
The return of the Jews to their own country, is a mighty miracle by God.  I think we stand before other miracles. First of all the fact that they have kept Hebrew, their own language from olden time in spite of being dispersed to the four corners of the earth. 

         Language-miracle and future together with their Messiah. 

Some have said that if the prophets of the old Testament had been risen from the dead and started to walk the streets of Jerusalem, they would have been able to speak to people and be understood, and being talked back to.
During these 2000 years of Diaspora, some Jews have always lived in "the land of the Jews," or Palestine.  The truth about Jerusalem is that no other country has never had Jerusalem as their capital, in spite of the fact that many peoples have occupied the land for many hundred years. Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jews for 3000 years at least.
No part of the land of Israel is occupied territory.  The whole land is the legal homeland for the Jews  after 2000 years of Diaspora.  They have come home to stay  there for ever and ever.  Whatever Hamas or the rest of the Islamic world say.  God is mighty to keep Israel there until Messiah comes on the clouds of the sky.  At that moment the whole nation will be saved, the New Testament tells  its readers.  Should not you, my friend, be a reader of the Holy Scriptures too.
When you open the book, you will find the name Israel and the nation Israel mentioned thousands of times.  Israel is Gods chosen  land, Gods chosen  people.  When Jesus comes and places His feet on the Mount of Olives, Israel will be there, and they will receives Him as their Messiah. I believe it from the bottom of my heart because I believe in the Bible, the God inspired Book.
