'Tis a Matter of What is Right and Wrong in Israel

Whether Israel should be the land of the Jews, and whether Gaza, and the West Bank, and Golan Heights should be governed by Israel -- those are, to me, not so much matters that should be decided by ancient history.

Though ancient history is often cited, and though Jerusalem is central to the Jews, and Christians, and Muslims, and though I, myself, am thoroughly convinced the Bible is God's word and if it says Israel will cut its enemies in pieces, then that is exactly what will happen -- still these are not the foremost reasons for determining what is done in the Middle East.

Rather, we must use our own judgement. We should reduce the Israel situation to what is right or wrong. We should throw out all the ancient history everyone cites and reiterates. (Well, maybe not throw it out, but let right and wrong be the lead determinant in what is done.)
