How can Jerusalem even be relevant to Islam anyway, it's existed at least 3500 years longer that Islam.

TTT, the land of Israel isn’t the same as the State of Israel. The latter was created in 1848.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes in the same place as the Kingdom of Isreal.

Over here in Britain,Corbyn really muddied the waters.His visceral hatred of the Jewish diaspora changed the course of the 2019 general election.No-one was going to vote for a left-wing fascist,were they?

The Zionists have been pussy-footing for far too long over the Palestinian problem.
It's time they found a final solution.

[naomi24]

My post at 20.00 should read 1948.

[naomi24]

Poor choice of language sandyRoe … but you know that.

[ynnafymmi]

Did sandy just ask about a final solution?A final solution to the Jewish problem?Duly reported.

[douglas9401]

Oh Sandy, don't try humour on these boards, barren ground mate.

id bulldoze it, then let them all have bits and rebuild somewhere else
put a shopping mall on it, end of squabbles, i mean arabs have that black square they built in saud, commercialise it with kiddy rides to god, roller coaster to the stars or hades... it all commercial now.

Nothing funny about the death of 12 million Jews at the hands of the Nazis,Douglas.

[douglas9401]

Thanks for that, fanny.

Six million is the more accepted figure though.

[naomi24]

The Palestinians have without doubt been treated abominably …. but I know who I would rather see in control of that area… and it’s not them.

[sandyRoe]

I'm no Nazi apologist.
A final solution to the Palestinian problem was what I meant.

TORATORATORA, "Where is the "Palestinian" land? It's been Israel since about 1000BC ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Israel_(united_monarchy)";

I looked at the link you gave and it states, "The United Monarchy (Hebrew: הַמַּמְלָכָה הַמְּאֻחֶדֶת‎) in the Hebrew Bible refers to Israel and Judah under the reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon.[7][8][9] It is traditionally dated to have lasted between c. 1047 BCE and c. 930 BCE"

That works out to be a period of 117 year which is more than a wee bit shorter than the the thousand year you claimed

[THECORBYLOON]

That last sentence should have read, "That works out to be a period of 117 year which is more than a wee bit shorter than the thousands of years you claimed.

Why all the hysterics ?

Because religion is based on hysterics.

[THECORBYLOON]

TORATORATORA "How can Jerusalem even be relevant to Islam anyway, it's existed at least 3500 years longer that Islam."

You could have asked how Bethleham can be relevant to Christians given that it has been around since about 1400 BC.

[naomi24]

They’re concerned because they fear changes. Read your link, TTT.

sorry, naomi, I missed your earlier post. The Bible says the Lord told Abraham his people could have the Holy Land. In general it was Yahweh (Jehovah), the Judean god, who talked to people that way; Elohim, the Israelite god, was more remote: he created the universe, Yahweh created man and other beasties, and their creation stories run side by side in Genesis.

The two states merged and so did their gods, but not till after Abraham's time. So it sounds more likely to me that it was Jehovah.
