There seems to be a misunderstanding!...Dear Julia, <br />There seems to be a misunderstanding! When you say Jews who lived in Russia, Tunisia, USA (may I add Poland and Latin America?) have no right to claim the land that HaShem gave us you are missing some basic facts.<br />These facts would make your question turn to be: "What right have this arabs living in Israel for one or two generations (not more than three) have to live there"<br />Simply, the Jewish people is the only people in history that has survived no matter what.<br />Chinese arrive in the USA and the third generation are basic north americans, same goes for italians, greek, whoever you want, just the Jews keep their identity!<br />You know why? Judaism is based in three things that are the same for me that for my grandfather's granfather, and they are the Torah, Am Israel (the people of Israel) and Eretz Israel (the Land of Israel) <br />For us, Eretz Israel has been always present and part of us for 2.300 years! We are different, we are atypical, whether you like it or not. We are the only people in history that has survived.<br />Please, don't try to compare us with a "people" invented 40 years ago and that never existed (not even today) as a differentiated entity!<br />We talk with arabs about a solution for THEIR problem because we don't like nobody to suffer, but we know, as well as they know, that Eretz Israel belongs to Am Israel!!!!!Daniel Ben-Hillelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076217693584354373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977332822303694593.post-84469144322728106572011-02-11T08:36:23.387+00:002011-02-11T08:36:23.387+00:00@ Pana, thank you so much for posting such a well ...@ Pana, thank you so much for posting such a well written blog. The Torah excerpts you posted were absolutely perfect describing our borders. We claim what is ours as stated in our holy Torah. As a people we have outlasted many civilizations from the great Egyptian dynasties to Persian to Greek to Roman to Ottoman and everything inbetween. We have every right to our Land, all of it. Our region has been conquered by islamic entities, so it is only right we reconquer and reestablish our borders!<br /><br />@ Julia, I do not expect you to understand any of this and do not expect you to change your opinion since this is a very Jewish opinion. Judaism and Zionism are intertwined. I live in Israel and very happy to say more of us are coming to claim our rightful place here. Your opinion is ultimately irrelevant in this matter.myschwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05387194583069755042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977332822303694593.post-56052764471167086322011-02-11T02:23:39.619+00:002011-02-11T02:23:39.619+00:00So how do Jews who have lived in the US, Russia, T...So how do Jews who have lived in the US, Russia, Tunisia, etc. for their entire lives justly claim land in "Greater Israel" which is currently being used and lived on by Arab families? What constitutes a *just* acquisition of property to you - Jews from the US coming into Arab homes and taking them by force?<br /><br />Sorry, but if it weren't for the Israeli state and a few words from your holy book, the "Jewish people" (whatever that term is supposed to mean) would have no right to any of that land, simply because you would have no way of justifying it. Perhaps your distant, distant ancestors lived on that land 2000 years ago, but tell me that I have the right to claim a house in which my great-great-great-grandfather lived in that's currently being used by an unrelated family. <br /><br />"The entire life of the Jewish people revolves around the question of our existence in Israel ~ whether we are in a state of exile or a state of redemption."<br /><br />The notion of a "national homeland" for a "people" is a myth.Julia Riber Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006439247714055292noreply@blogger.com
