Existence of Israel is fulfillment of Biblical prophesies

[Rev. Rye]

Israel is stolen land. Stolen from one theocracy to make a different theocracy. After WW2, why weren't the jews simply reinstated into the countries they already lived in, like Germany and Poland etc, with full equal citizen rights and their property returned. That would have been kind of reasonable.

Of course, would there be any guarantee that there wouldn't be a return to Nazi-style anti-semitism? I mean, even though the American occupiers managed to instill Germany with such a guilt for their actions that such a thing was unlikely, do you really think that the Jews could still trust their "Good German" neighbors?

On the other hand, giving somebody a scrap of land just because their ancestors ruled it briefly millenia ago is an asinine idea. I mean, I am descended from no less than two lines from the Emperor Charlemagne. Does this make me entitled to take over most of France, Western Germany, Austria, Northern Italy, a small part of the former Yugoslavia, and even a bit of Basque Country?
