All Israel belongs to the Jewish people so let's right now stop pretending it doesn't
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem." Zechariah 12:9 (KJV)
Benjamin Netanyahu is the best leader Israel has had since their regathering in 1948, no question about it. He loves his homeland, is smart, well spoken, and an absolute champion of Jerusalem and the Old City region as Israel's capital city. And that's exactly why he needs to abandon all pretense about some silly, so-called Two State Solution that gives Jerusalem to the Muslims.
Two things happened in the immediate aftermath of the Six-Day War in 1967. One, Israel miraculously defeated their Muslim enemies who attacked them unprovoked. History.com has this to say about that event:
The Six-Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors ends with a United Nations-brokered cease-fire. The outnumbered Israel Defense Forces achieved a swift and decisive victory in the brief war, rolling over the Arab coalition that threatened the Jewish state and more than doubling the amount of territory under Israel’s control. The greatest fruit of victory lay in seizing the Old City of Jerusalem from Jordan; thousands of Jews wept while bent in prayer at the Second Temple’s Western Wall.

Tiny Israel was only a mere 19 regathered years old, when the combined might of Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait and Algeria descended on them in Biblical fashion. But, in Biblical fashion, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob gave them a victory for the record books. The second thing that happened was when it was done, Jerusalem was once again in Jewish hands where it belonged.
The myth of the so-called Palestinian people
I am old enough to remember as a teenager watching endless news footage on television about a man called
Yasser Arafat. Arafat was a Muslim terrorist who organized and launch a terrorist group called the
Palestine Liberation Organization, otherwise known as the PLO. This is where the modern "state" of Palestine was born, as a blood-thirsty enemy of Israel. It was Arafat that created the modern-day Islamic terrorism movement.
There has never been a nation called Palestine, neither is there one today outside of the phony state the United Nations insists on trying to create. There had never been a Palestinian government, never been a Palestinian army, just a bunch of PLO terrorists pretending they have a right to the land of Israel.
The Two State Solution can never be implemented
The so-called Palestinians don't want peace with Israel, their own charter calls for Israel's destruction. They have no desire to live "side by side" in a peaceful "two state" arrangement. What they want is to seize full and complete control of the Old City of Jerusalem with its Temple Mount that is an unremovable part of Jewish history and culture. If they don't get Jerusalem, then they will not - under any conditions - agree to the Two State Solution.
Netanyahu has said repeatedly over the years that
he will never, ever relinquish control of Jerusalem to any outside group, force or coalition. For you prophecy buffs out there, go back and read Zechariah, Joel, Isaiah, Zephaniah and all the others that talk about the main bone of contention in the time of Jacob's trouble. One word keeps popping up repeatedly, endlessly and constantly. What word is that? Jerusalem.
"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."Zechariah 12:2,3 (KJV)
A Young 28 year old Benjamin Netanyahu speaking against the Two State Solution:
Listen to the sheer brilliance of the young Bibi, giving one of the best assessments of the Palestinian situation you will ever hear.
Why all the fuss about an ancient city called Jerusalem?
The Bible calls Jerusalem the "city of the great king", meaning historically King David but prophetically King Jesus. Jerusalem is where Jesus returns to at the end of the Battle of Armageddon. Jerusalem is where Jesus Christ will establish his 1,000 year rule from a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. In short, Jesus is where all the action is and is the absolute center stage of human history in the time immediately following the Rapture of the Church.
"For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." Isaiah 14:13,14 (KJV)
The Devil hates Jerusalem because he knows Jesus will be a King in that place one day soon, ruling from the throne of David. The Devil wants God's earthly Throne so that can mean only one thing - the battle must be waged for Jerusalem until the last man standing.
So now we respectfully say to Prime Minister Netanyahu that he should completely withdraw the idea of any two state solution from off the table, and tell the mythical Palestinians they are not going to get Jerusalem under any conditions or circumstances.
You want a "state of Palestine"? Then go to the king of Jordan and ask him to create one for you on Jordanian land. Because you can't have Israel, and you can't have its capital Jerusalem.
