Quote from BernardRichards:
The so called present Palestinians were created ex nihilo in 1967.
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the State of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality, today, there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism." (Zahir Muhsein -- Head of the P.L.O. Military Department and a Member of its Executive Committee)
They are not the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivvites, and Jebusites of Judges 2:1 and Exodus 23:23 that rebelled against Yud-Heh-Vuv-Heh.
You are getting better though with your Scriptural citations Peil. Verily, practice makes perfect. I did enjoy though your making an atheist heads explode post and video. I am sure it infuriated the doctrinaire atheists here like Stu and Vhehn and made their head explode.
There is a pretty good chance the decendants of those people are the palestinians. When they are beat as a people, the few that remain would no doubt change what they call themselves, yet they will still be the same people.
Here is another quote though. Genesis 16:11 The angel of the LORD also said to her:
"You are now with child
and you will have a son.
You shall name him Ishmael,
for the LORD has heard of your misery.
He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone's hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward all his brothers
Muslims believe they are descended from Ishmael and muslims do fit the description that the angel of the LORD gave about Ishmael. Muslims do live in hostility towards us all and their hands are against everyone.
This is confirmed again in Genesis 17:20 That God was talking about Islam some 2000 years before it existed as God knew Islam would become a large religion. Gen 17:20 "And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year."
The muslims are a very large "nation" and they have great numbers. But just like the LORD said...his covenant is established with Isaac and not Ishmael. The deck is already stacked against the Palestinians from the get go
