Synopsis

The hotly contested sliver of land designated as the nation of Israel since 1948 is claimed by the Jewish people of the world as their ancient homeland. Other more recent claims by Arab neighbors called Palestinians claim the land for themselves. This book examines Scripture and history to define and defend the right of Israel to their birthright territory, Israel. Ancient and modern history show the return of Jews to Israel, and their battles to remain there as a sovereign nation were predicted in the Bible centuries ago. The land was promised to Abraham, and God keeps His promises. The book also shows how Jewish occupation of the Land has benefitted the Arabs who have lived among them peacefully.
