Those who think they must take sides in the Palestinian/Israel land debate, is created by the believer knowing that Israel has a right to the land, even more land than they have right now.
However, as believers we need to be concerned about both Palestinians: Arabs and Jews learn the way of salvation and become born again.
The Jews in Israel as a whole are not saved just as the Palestinians are not saved, with the exception of a few in each group who have found Christ.
Our bent as believers should not be about one people group against another people group, but rather concern for the people of each group hearing the gospel and trusting Christ.
I support what God supports, that the Jews have their land, while I know that God has all that under His control. God will defend Israel and even add to the land He has given them in the future.
I also support those believers who are Palestinian, those that have trusted Christ and become my Brothers and Sisters in the Lord. My desire is for the Palestinians and the Jews alike to choose to trust Christ.
Those who fight and argue about the land might be missing the mandate by God to go into all the world to preach the gospel. We are not so much about "territories" as we are about people becoming born again.
When we know the truth about the land given to the Jews, let's not lose sight of the fact that the Palestinians need to hear the gospel as well as the Jews who remain lost.
Mark 16:14-16 "14 Later as they were eating, Jesus appeared to the eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.…"
