Is the war in Isreal a holy war?

Question

What part does religion play in it. I heard the isrealis believed that their god has given them the land , if so it is a holy war am i right?

Answer 1

israeli's are foreign occupants to the land of palestine.

the land is originally for Arabs .historically Kananyoon (Arab people) lived in palestine for thousands of years befor jewish came from egypt and established ancient israel which continued for 70 years only ,and the land was returned to the original people .the cycle was repeated in the last century with the establishment of new Israel ,and many  believe that it will continue for 70 years as well.

Answer 2

The United Nations, prompted by the United States gave the modern country of Israel to the Jewish people in 1949.  Prior to that day, Jewish people hadn't controlled the "promised land" since hundreds of years before Jesus' time.  Even then, they did not ever keep the land for longer than a few hundred years at a time.  Everybody who wanted that land, was able to take it from them.  Doesn't seem like God was very good at keeping it safe for them.  The whole reason the "messiah" was prophesied was to give that land back to the Jews...  I guess the United Nations was actually the messiah.

God had nothing to do with it.

There has never been and never will be a such thing as a Holy war.

Believing that is a possibility is one of the biggest problems with all religion.

Answer 4

Answer 5

by war in Israel, you mean the daily struggle between the Israelis and the Palestinians? if so, it is a very complicated matter. both Jews and Muslims have inhabited that area for long time. but after Word War II there was pressure on the US and British governments to grant the Jews their own country (look up the Balfour agreement if you don't believe me). the UK had colonies in the Middle East at the time, so they decided to use the historic land of Israel for the new Jewish state.

now that all sounds well and good, but a LOT of the people who moved to the new Israel were from Europe and the English and Americans literally forced the Palestinians out of the way for these foreigners to come in. the Jews say the land is theirs historically, but the Palestinians were there for a lot longer and are native - not foreigners - so that is why the Palestinians are upset and want their land back.

both sides have a point and have a reason to be upset and want the land.

Answer 6

You either are in school, and not paying attention or you just don't have a clue.

Basic history is clear on this matter.  The Jewish people have lived in Israel for over 4000 years.  Its their land, like it or not.
