Israel can only be explained by Biblical history and is protected by God.

"Well I guess you asked the wrong Arab. That same Arab would tell you the Arabs are descended from Abraham. The nutso Arab you asked would probably say the Jews changed the story of Abraham's descendants., but I doubt you will find an Arab who will say they are not descended from Abraham. The Arab/Israeli conflict goes back to Abraham. The crazy Arabs say the Jews came from Satan because they hate them."Nope still getting "The ******* came from Satan".Lets just think about this rationally for a moment. Before about 1920 Arab Jew relations were pretty good. Palestinian Jews and Arabs lived side by side without any hostilities [1]. In fact I can't find any examples of Arab Jew conflicts before the modern idea of Zionism came about in about 1890. If we go back even earlier into the middle ages most Jews (including some of my ancestors) lived under Arab rule in Morocco, In Barbary, in Egypt and some lived under Turkish rule in the Ottoman empire [2]. In fact when the Jews were forced out of Spain the Ottoman navy appeared on the shore of Spain and offered to take all of the Jews to prevent a massacre. So as you can see Jewish Muslim and Jewish Arab relations were very good before the modern era which effectively nullifies your statement that "The Arab/Israeli conflict goes back to Abraham."."Israel has been more than patient sitting there absorbing untold thousands of rockets launched indiscriminately at civilian populations; they should just wipe out Gaza completely and get rid of Hamas after sending all Gazan civilians a 24 hour notice to get out before the strip is leveled and all the arms smuggling tunnels dug up and destroyed."Now this has no bearing on this debate but I should state that Israel had a missile defence system which has been able to shoot down everything Hamas has got [3]. Also the reason Gazan civilians are in Gaza is because Israel doesn't let them [4]."You may discount the record of the slavery in Egypt"There is no extra biblical record of slavery in Egypt, if you think there is please present it."you may discount a lot of stories in the Bible. That does not mean your skepticism is correct"Skepticism is an attitude of doubt before adequate evidence is produced. You have not produced any evidence. "Israel is protected by God. They suffered under oppressive governments and were taken into captivity and dispersed throughout the nations of the world because of their rebellions against God, but God always keeps His promises and His promise is to glorify Himself through the Jews and He protects them because He said He would."There are many ethnic and religious groups that have been through similar oppression to the Jews some examples would be the Hindus [5], Armenians [6] and Native Americans/First Nations [7] are all of these cultures and religions protected by god as well?"the same way you are hating the Jews by implying they should sit there and not retaliate when their villages are attacked"I'm not implying, I'm saying directly. But what does this have to do with the debate at hand."Arab extremists enjoy hiding behind women and children and forcing civilian casualties as they try to inflame the world."Look Arabs are also human ("If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?") they aren't these sudo-satanic bad guys who think of nothing but how to screw over the Jews, some Arabs hide behind civilians but those civilians they hide behind are also Arabs. "Islam's goal is world domination, and the total destruction of the Jews. It's not going to happen."Quran 2:62 "Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve."."God will always defend Israel and there will always be a remnant of Jews until Jesus Christ returns to Mt Zion and the nations of the world will learn war no more, beat their spears into plows, and the lion will lay down with the lamb. People like you are either going to get right with God or be destroyed in their sins. I'm going to heaven with my sins forgiven, I have been bought and paid for by God's own blood in Jesus Christ. Your blood is on your own head if you think you can handle your own death. Be a good Muslim and say "God's name is Allah and Muhammad is his prophet" and maybe they won't cut your head off; but that won't get you out of paying for your sins in the fire of Hell if you don't get saved from it first. God loves you and He died in your place, paid for your sins so you could be forgiven and not have to pay in Hell. Why not believe on the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ and be saved from Hell?"Evidence?[1] "At this time, the area was ruled by the British and both Arabs and Jews appeared to live together in some form of harmony in the sense that both tolerated then existence of the other." http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk...[2] http://www.historyforkids.org...
