Israel and Palestine

Obama's UN speech, 23 September 2009:
"The time has come to re-launch negotiations - without
preconditions - that address the permanent-status issues:

security for Israelis and Palestinians;

borders, refugees and Jerusalem.

The goal is clear: two states living side by side in peace
and security - a Jewish State of Israel, with true security
for all Israelis; and a viable, independent Palestinian state
with contiguous territory that ends the occupation that began
in 1967, and realizes the potential of the Palestinian people."

Security for Israel means that terrorists are not allowed to
kill Israelis by launching missiles from Gaza or the West Bank
- or anywhere else - and, terrorists stop suicide attacks. If
this happens, then Israel will stop counterattacks.

God gave the Jews the land (Genesis 15:18):
On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying," To
your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt
as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

Although Arabs claim to be descendants Abraham through Ishmael,
the Bible makes it clear that the descendants of Isaac and
Jacob (Israel) are the ones to receive the covenant blessing.

Israel can not and should not accept "a viable, independent
Palestinian state with contiguous territory." The Arab nations
need to accept the Arab refugees. They have never done this.
Also, to make the West Bank and Gaza "contiguous territory"
would split the nation of Israel into two non-contiguous parts.

Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser expelled the United Nations
Emergency Force (UNEF) from the Sinai Peninsula in May 1967. Egypt
amassed 1,000 tanks and nearly 100,000 soldiers on the Israeli
border and closed the Straits of Tiran to all ships flying Israeli
flags or carrying strategic materials, receiving strong support
from other Arab countries. On June 5, 1967, Israel launched a
pre-emptive attack. The "the occupation that began in 1967"
resulted from the defeat of the Arab nations which had threatened
Israel.

The so-called "occupied territories" are part of the land given
to the Jews by God. None of it should have been relinguished!
