Israel is Muslim Territory

The Israeli Response

  • What’s the definition of owning a territory?
    • “The state … should possess the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with other states.”
      • Based on the Montevideo Convention on the RIghts and Duties of States held in 1936 (Article 1)
      • Historically, the Palestinian claim for the land is invalid since the Jews had full control of the land and the Palestinians did not
        • There is ample documentation for Jewish control over the land in the bible and in interpretations of contemporary archaeology:
          • Joshua entered the land of Israel in 1,400 BCE
          • Kingdom of David was founded 1000 BCE
          • The first Temple of Solomon was built around 957 BCE
          • The second Temple was built at approximately 515 BCE
          • The Hasmonean dynasty was founded at around 165 BCE
          • Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 BCE
          • Jews were exiled from Israel at around 136 CE
          • Even after the exile, there was continuous Jewish presence in the Land.
        • On the other hand, there’s no documentation of Palestinian control at any point
          • Islam was only founded in 610 CE, over 2000 years after Judaism
          • There have never been Palestinian regimes in the land
          • Israel was named Palestina by the Romans after the defeat of the Bar-Kochva revolt
          • The Romans in an attempt to shame the jews, renamed the area of Judea Palestine, as an insult, after the jews historic enemy - the Philistines.
          • The purpose of this was to break the Jewish connection with the land of Israel.
      • As was agreed in the Balfour Declaration 1917, and more in detail in the Palestine Mandate in 1923, Israel is home to the Jews and other non-Jewish communities
        • The treatment of Israel's residents is far from perfect, and it is great that the residents that feel they’ve been wronged are speaking up and helping Israel improve, but it is unquestionably historically and ethically Jewish territory.

          Conclusions

          The Jews are the only nation in the world that has to justify its historical connection to the land it inhabits against a nation with absolutely no historical linkage. Beyond any historical, political or religious doubt, Israel always has been and always will be a state for the Jewish people..
