In this video, we delve into the 3000-year history of Palestine, Israel, and the Torah's perspective on Arabs. Discover the truth behind this complex and longstanding conflict.
The control of Palestine has been a contentious issue for the past 3000 years. The conflict arises from differing interpretations of religious texts, with Jews claiming exclusive rights based on the Torah, and Muslims recognizing the rights of both Isaac and Ishmael's descendants. Throughout history, various empires and rulers have conquered and ruled over Jerusalem, often with violence and bloodshed. However, Muslim conquerors, such as Prophet Muhammad and Salahuddin Ayyubi, showed mercy and allowed freedom of religion. After 800 years of peaceful coexistence, the Ottoman Empire lost control of Jerusalem with the help of the British, leading to the abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate.
The Hebrew Bible provides three specific sets of directions for the "Promised Land", each with a different goal and purpose. Neither of the terms "Promised Land" (Ha'Aretz HaMuvtahat) or "Land of Israel" are used in these passages:
Genesis 15:13–21, Genesis 17:8[21] and Ezekiel 47:13–20 use the term "the land" (ha'aretz), as does Deuteronomy 1:8 in which it is promised explicitly to "Abraham, Isaac and Jacob... and to their descendants after them," whilst Numbers 34:1–15 describes the "Land of Canaan" (Eretz Kna'an) which is allocated to nine and half of the twelve Israelite tribes after the Exodus.
