Israel’s communications minister says the Bible is enough to prove that his country has legitimate land claims, despite what Google or Wikipedia say. The remarks were made during an event supporting West Bank settlements.
“Defense is important and security is important but the most important thing is the moral claim of Israel and we are committed to living in our regional land, land that was given to us not by Google or Wikipedia but by the Bible,” Tzachi Hanegbi said at the Washington event, titled ‘Celebrate 50 years of Rejuvenation in Judea and Samaria.’
“…And this is the right, which we are going to demand our right forever and ever,” Hanegbi continued, as quoted by Arutz Sheva.
The event was hosted by the Council of Jewish Communities of Judea and Samaria. Judea and Samaria is the Israeli government term for the territory generally referred to as the West Bank, but excluding East Jerusalem.
The event was to mark the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War, which broke out in 1967 between Israel and its neighbors Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. The conflict saw Israel make territorial gains in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and the Sinai Peninsula up to the Suez Canal.
Israeli settlements currently exist in the West Bank, Golan Heights, and East Jerusalem, despite such construction being considered illegal by the international community.
Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely encouraged more settlers to head to the West Bank during the Tuesday event in Washington.
“We need to go to a million settlers in Judea and Samaria – with a US embassy in Jerusalem. We need to think of new ways of thinking that will include Judea and Samaria under Israeli sovereignty forever,” she said.
She went on to say that the notion of Israel occupying the West Bank is a “myth.”
“I always say that the occupation is a myth, because we never occupied other people’s land. This is Jewish land [Judea and Samaria]. This should forever be a Jewish land under Israeli law,” she said, as quoted by the Jerusalem Post.
However, not everyone agrees with Hotovely. Just two days before her remarks at the event, Jewish protesters blocked the entrance of the annual pro-Israeli American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference in Washington, calling for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory.
The UN Security Council also disagrees with Hotovely. In December, it passed a resolution demanding an end to the construction of Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian territories – a move which was condemned as “shameful and absurd” by the Israeli government and criticized by Donald Trump, who promised that things would be “different” in regard to the UN after he took office.
As to the U.N., things will be different after Jan. 20th.

WRONG!!! The Bible gives Israel the right to the land IF AND ONLY IF (IFF for short) Israel obeys and worships God AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. Period, End of Story–and for this dude to say otherwise means: 1. His “Bible” is the Talmud, and 2. his “god” is the “Jewish Messiah” aka the Anti-Christ that will occupy the Temple in Jerusalem in the tribulation period.
And another thing–the “Israel” that so thoroughly rejects Christ is NOT God’s Israel. Read Galatians 3, dude! He is a “Jew” who is one INWARDLY (believes on Christ) not outwardly (such as the anti-Christ Jews of Israel)!
And then you have 1 John 2:22–“He who has NOT the Son has NOT the Father, but he who has the Son has the Father also.”
Had to send this one twice (2nd time as a forward to Henry/Laura).
Someone didn’t like it… I rarely receive failure notices.
I know sent in”Dressed Like The Joker, A Defiant Hillary Clinton Takes The Stage Calling For ‘Resistance’ Of New Administration” still have the failure notice.http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml?66.163.186.82; ” Sent it in again but don’t know if they got it for I didn’t see it posted.
If you didn’t receive another failure notice, it went through, Misty.
On very rare occasions, I’ve gotten 2 and even 3 in a row for the same article. Some things just don’t go where they’re supposed to. Not of their own volition, however, imo.
First time so I didn’t understand…thanks.
LOL… happens to the best of us (some more than others) 🙂
Even if the Bible could be accepted as proof of anything (“belief” and “proof” are two very different animals), it does not unequivocally give any land to anyone. There was a covenant that God made with the Hebrews, which the latter broke.
Also, how about that part of the Bible in which Jesus tells the Jews who were rejecting him that “you are of your father the Devil”? It’s right there in John’s Gospel: Chapter 8, especially verses 33-45.
“…And this is the right, which we are going to demand our right forever and ever,” Hanegbi continued, as quoted by Arutz Sheva.”
The ONLY ‘forever right’ you LYING SCUMBAG POS jEWS have is to burn in Hell with your master, SATAN.
“This is Jewish land [Judea and Samaria]. This should forever be a Jewish land under Israeli law,” she said, as quoted by the Jerusalem Post.”
Not according to God, you LYING Satanic SLUT!!!
NWO HATR…….. ROK ON MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ever vigilant, KOYOTE! 😉
