Hello,
First of all, the Jews WERE** the chosen people. They went astray every turn they took practically and that is why a need for more messages to be sent. There were many things that the Jews have done, like kill prophets in the past etc. that made their “chosen” be taken from them. Til this day, you still find many of them not abiding by their
own books. The land was there, the temple was there, the fall of Rome was there, the city of Jerusalem is still there…Palestine is still a blessed city. Even Allah says in the Quran that it is (related in the story of Mosa alayhi wa salaam).
Now, the problem arises in Palestine due to the fact that what was once theirs and taken(even though history states otherwise), they want it back no matter what cost. It all involved USA and Europe. Treaties documents, promises etc. (without any consideration of those who lived there~on purpose!!) 1948 came round and then the people that were there, are now considered like dogs and to be treated like dogs. The Zionists are involved and they are stronger than the religious jews that protest against them. These Zionists are as well considered Jewish by religion…although not abiding by what their prophet was sent with.
The Jews disbelieved and are no longer following the religion of the believers among the Children of Israel who followed and supported Moosa and ‘Eesaa (peace be upon them).
We Muslims have more right to it than they, because land does not belong to the people who lived there first, but to those who establish the laws of Allah therein. Allah created the land, and He created people to worship Allah in the land and to establish therein the religion, laws and rulings of Allah. Allah says
“… Verily, the earth is Allah’s. He gives it as a heritage to whom He wills of His slaves; and the (blessed) end is for the Muttaqoon (the pious).” al-A’raaf 7:128
“History tells us that the first people to settle in Palestine were the Canaanites, six thousand years BCE.
They were an Arab tribe who came to Palestine from the Arabian Peninsula, and after their arrival, Palestine was named after them (i.e., Canaan).”
“As for the Jews, the first time they entered Palestine was approximately six hundred years after Ibraheem had entered the land, i.e., they entered it approximately 1400 years BCE. *So the Canaanites entered Palestine and lived there approximately 4500 years before the Jews.” *
Hence it is clear that the Jews have no right to the land, whether according to religious law or in terms of who lived there first and possessed the land. They are aggressors who are seizing the land by force.
Thus what is said in the Bible about the land of Palestine is blatantly obvious a disregard for truth when history proves otherwise.
