"If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars." Rabindranath Tagore

"My help comes from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." Psalms 121:2

"I have gone astray like a lost sheep: seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments." Psalms 119:176

"Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and a deceitful tongue." Psalm 120:2

A travel guide to Palestine and Syria, published in 1906 illustrates that even when the Islamic Ottoman Empire ruled the region, the Muslim population in what they now call the third most holy city was minimal.
There were then about 7,000 Muslims, 13,000 Christians and 40,000 Jews in Jerusalem.
Jews began to return to Israel, drained the swamps and irrigated the deserts.
Arabs began pouring in; for jobs and opportunity.
In 1939 Winston Churchill said: "So far as being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country and multiplied till their population has increased more than even the world Jewery could lift up the Jewish population."
Then, after WWll The U. N. proposed the creation of two states. The Arabs rejected it with a vengeance and declared war.
The Arab "leaders" urged the Arabs in Israel to leave until after the Jews were destroyed.
They couldn't get it done and now the refugees are multiplying like flies and want what they were told they could have.

"A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions." Proverbs 18:6.
Could this proverb describe the U. S. media?

Another quote by the greatest Nobel Peace Prize winner of all time:
"We are going to Jerusalem ...........Martyrs in the millions." Yasser Arafat, 02/04/02

Famous quotes attributed to Yasser:
To a teenager: "Here's $25,000 kid...go blow it all in one place."

"Now be a good little martyr and go bomb with the other children."

To a mother just giving birth: "Congratulations!!!!! it's a martyr!!!!!!"

"Palestinian suicide bombers are less costly than Saudi suicide pilots.
You don't need to teach them to fly."

"Every prudent man acts out of knowledge, but a fool exposes his folly" Proverbs 13:16

There never has been a Palestinian state.

Since the Jews began moving back to Israel at the turn of the century and especially since 1948 they have always welcomed Arab people. Many of Arabs are citizens of Israel and vote in elections.
The "Palestinians" who are refugees from Israel (not all are from Israel) were incited to leave by Arabs from other nations who could have absorbed them into their cultures, but refuse to do so.
The Jews never asked those people who are refugees to leave!
A very large portion of Jordan was removed from Israel and given to Jordan by the League of Nations.
That area was called Trans Jordan. It was stolen from Israel. This was done by the British who were given control by the League.
One has never seen or heard of a product with the words made in Palestine on the label because they produce nothing.
They are recipients of a type of welfare from the United states and others.
The United States media is probably the largest perpetrator of the lies about Israel and the "Palestinians" because they do not understand history, are anti Semitic, elitists, and hate the system which by it's very existence allows them to be so high profile and prominent.

In my yearlong journey through God's word I continue to search for evidence that those who would have me believe Israel no longer has a right to the land is true. I still don't find any. I continue to find verification that God does not go back on his word.

Does he promise and not fulfill?

"In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you remain; the will wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded.
But you will remain the same, and your years will never end."
Psalms 102:25-27

Ideas coursing through my psyche
Mental images, like colored glitter tossed into the air
Shimmering, floating, carried by the breezes of life
They settle to the earth and are trodden under the feet of man and beast
Are they lost?
Will they return?
Were they a waste?
Does it matter?
Does anyone care?

Shalom Y'all, Raisin
