I don't follow but based on my experiences I know about Islam more than most Muslims.

Ask away.

@Miram okay. What is the deal with Palestinians people? Why can't they get along with the Jewish people?
Miram · 31-35, F
@naturefarmer They don't like getting kicked out of their homes and giving up their lands which Israel wants and continues to do.

It is not a religious problem. It's colonialism.

@Miram okay then why do Israelis claim it is there's God's given land which they were kicked out off and want it back?

And why cannot Palestinians get United if it is there land and ask the world to help them?
Miram · 31-35, F
@naturefarmer They have united and asked the world to help them more than a dozen of times. The world is mostly busy with their own.

Israel uses an interpretation of a verse in the Tanakh to make that claim for political reasons, even some Israelis and Jewish religious people disagree with it, the interpretation takes Abraham's offspring to be the Jews whereas it is evident that Abraham's offspring include the Arabs living in the area and they are all mixed.

If you read into history as far back as Abraham, it is easier to see that his son Ismail which is the ancestor of Arabs has inhabited the land rather than theirs Isaac and his offspring.

It is just a justification to rob people out of their right to live in their own areas.

@Miram thanks, i would look it up.

It is too bad then for Palestinians, their leadership really is not doing an effective job for the past 30 or 40 years.
