In the history of the world, and particularly the history of God's elect Hebrews (whom The HOLY BIBLE would term "true Jews"), names given to land have been given first by God Himself in His Scripture, then secondly by those conquerers the LORD empowered to rule the land after destroying designated wicked inhabitats previously infesting the named and renamed territory.

Originally, of course, Adam ruled over Eve, the pre-Abrahamic patriarchs ruled their tribes from which formerly-one-language-only peoples of the planet dispersed all over the globe after the Tower of Babel incident - some becoming quite primative in wandering away from their Creator.

Lettering and language was stabilized and standardized by the finger of God writing the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, and the "shekel of the sanctuary" set the monetary standard for the world from the start.

Israel's history has always been a history of 'dictators' - if you will. The Hebrew 'dictators' of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob were temporarily replaced by a good Egyptian pharaoh who appointed Joseph vice-president of Egypt. After him, good dictators Moses, Joshua, various judges, then finally David and Solomon reigned. Following Solomon were a series of mostly-evil jewish dictators, finally resulting in being conquered and taken into captivity by such somewhat God-fearing dictators such as Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, Darius, and Ahasuerus.

Following the conquests of Alexander the Great, the Roman Pompey conquered that formerly-Canaanite/Philistine land some people today call "Palestine." It was the Roman Hadrian who started the term "Palestine" with reference to Jewish territory latinizing the name of their 'Philistine' enemies. Church father Eusebius perpetuated that name to his Christian constituents.

Ottoman Turks ruled Palestine up to the time of the British Balfour Declaration of 1917 in which the conquering British (not the abstract entity called the League of Nations) designed "Palestine" (as they called it) to be a homeland for Jews (to coexist with Arabs).

Because Russia had a part in conquering Hitler's Germany, Britain had a part in conquering Hitler's Germany, and other Allies had a part in such, the abstract entity called "The United Nations" was [wrongly] designated as land owners and apportioners who divided up Palestine into separate countries containing Israelis and Arabs. [This webauthor considered the designation wrong in view of Truman's error stating that 'Japan has surrendered to the United Nations' thus invalidly establishing a "United Nations" as the conquering power in World War II].

George W. Bush fortunately reaffirmed the global-authority superiority of the United States of America over and instead of the "United Nations" [a mere advisory council located in New York city] by invading and conquering Iraq with who-could-militarily-stop-his-Coalition? nonbeatable force [regardless of the frequently-anti-America/anti-Israel U.N.].

Israel rightly reclaimed book-of-Genesis-boundaried Divinely-apportioned territories during the 1967 War, but since that time has - under some pressure from their main ally [the United States] - been coerced into a arab-antisemitism-exacerbating mispolicy of appeasement involving giving up land for the presumptuously-flawed sake of pseudo-"peace." Why certain political and governmental leaders in America have done that against Israel is because of their satanic antisemitism or because they do want Jesus-and-Paul-persecuting jews to get the upper hand over Christians and their New-Testament Christianity.

The push to encourage Israel to not appease......not compromise with land giveaways......but instead get more punitive against their terrorist antisemitic arab enemies is only part of the answer to Israel's security, wellbeing, and survival. The justice of dicretionary-retribution capital punishment is understandable and legitimate, but sledgehammer fly-swatters and noxiously/unbreatheably fumagating the entire room are never appropriate responses. Even targeting troublecausers with sharpshooting snipers has serious limitations and even consequences when needed supplements are excluded.

Individual jews within Israel (ranging from peasants to upper-level politicians) must declare Jesus Christ as their singular and national Atonement, Redeemer, Messiah, and Savior to enable the Lord's Holy Spirit to cause them to relate correctly to friends and foes alike.
