TM says I suggested;
" Now, if you were an average jewish guy in isreal, instead of here, you likely would be in a minority to want continued hegemony/genocide against the Palestinians.."
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Now TM, you KNOW it is deceitful to misrepresent what I said. I suggested hegemony...but "genocide" is your choice of words.. keep it !

You claim familiarity with the Bible and challenged us to find Scriptures relating to Israel's deed/promise, given them by God...I'll fill you in..
On May 14, 1948, The Israeli principles met in the Tel Aviv museum to foremulate a new (actually re-newed) nation.. at 4 PM they announced modern Israel to the world... That very day most of the world, led by the US recognized the new nation.
Just as God said in Isaiah 66:7-8:
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""''
King James Version (Isa 66: 7-8 KJV)
7Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Certainly God foresaw that his people would be dispersed by the Romans..but he promised thay wouild again inhabit their land, never to be uprooted again:
King James Version (amos 9:14-15KJV)
14And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
God said they would be driven out, but would come back stronger than ever:
(Ezek 34:13)
King James BibleAnd I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Yes; He promised to reunite them with their land:
King James Version (Ezek 37:21-22KJV)
21And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
And of course, He's as good as His word:
King James Version (Jere 16:14-15 KJV)
14Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
15But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
...And again in Jeremiah:
King James BibleHear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare
it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd
doth his flock
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
...And as you requested, from Deuteronomy...He prophesied the diaspora and return way back then..
King James Version (Deut 30:3-5 KJV)
3That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
4If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
5And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers

Rather hard to deny, isn't it !
