And which would be obliterated by the numerous enemies surrounding it if other nations were to stop propping it up.
Quote:If you study the Bible you will find that God warned the Jews that if they sinned they would be scattered among the nations. This happened after they rejected Jesus as being the Messiah God had promised. But even while they were wanderers without a home of their own God still protected them from being destroyed or assimilated into the nations where they lived and enabled them to preserve their language and culture. He did this because he had also promised to regather them to their own land at the end of the age. This began to happen when the nation of Israel was established.
So the holocaust, in which jews were one of only 2 specifically targeted groups, didn't happen... amiright?
Because wholesale slaughter (genocidal in intent) of Jews hardly seems to be the work of a god trying to protect them.
Further, you will notice that the language of the greeks and their culture are hardly lost to us... and they didn't have 'God's sworn protection.
Quote:You can find out more of what the Bible says about their present return here:

And you would find that without foreign involvement... these 'children of God' would have not gotten this land in the first place, and would soon have it taken from them.

Perhaps because jesus never actually existed- he was a literary device for re-telling the accumulated religious and moral sayings of the Hebrew people.
The bible is a collection of myths. Wake up and look at the facts.
Jesus a clever literary device... Not the strongest position to take I am afraid, I am a biased "oily one" though.
Don't associate me with the sensational Christian Zionist camp either.
What does the 'strength of the position' have to do with the factuality of it?
Who was associating you with Zionists?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
