@cosimodirondo972 Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians—whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve" (2:62, 5:69, and many other verses).
". . . and nearest among them in love to the believers will you find those who say, 'We are Christians,' because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant" (5:82).

@grahamt5924 The Land cannot be sold in perpetuity” says the Torah , “for the Land is Mine, and you are residents and sojourners with Me.” The Land belongs to G-d, and we are no more than His tenants upon it.
Certainly according to the Torah G-d has promised us the land as an eternal inheritance, but the Almighty has not vouchsafed us ownership. We dwell on the land at His pleasure, always on condition.
when he said that we belong to the land: We are servants of its moral demands. Divine morality is personified as the moral conscience of the land. Living on the land is not a right but a privilege, and it carries with it certain obligations.
These obligations are many, but the one most oft repeated by the Torah is not to mistreat the sojourner, for you know what it is like to be a sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. We are G-d’s sojourners on the land, and the Palestinians are our sojourners. They are our litmus test. Our treatment towards them will show if we truly understand who we are and what our status on the land is in G-d’s eyes.
The Book of Deuteronomy warns us of the mindset of “my power and my might have gotten me all this wealth”. Power corrupts. For the first time in 2000 years the Jewish People have real political and military power, and I fear that it has gone to our head. Worse still, it has corrupted our religious ideology. We act as if G-d’s promise of the land is equivalent to absolute ownership and as if absolute ownership allows us to trample the rights and the dignity of the indigenous Palestinians. We behave as if the Land is ours and as if the Palestinians are therefore ours to do with them as we please. It is not and they are not.

Leviticus 25:18
18 “‘Follow my decrees and be careful to obey my laws, and you will live safely in the land.
Jeremiah 7:1-7
7 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:2 “Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all you men of Judah who enter these gates to worship the Lord. 3 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you dwell in this place. 4 Do not trust in these deceptive words: ‘This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.’
5 “For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly execute justice one with another, 6 if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm,7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever.

Revelation 3:9, : Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you.
Matthew 23:1-39
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, so practice and observe whatever they tell you—but not what they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, ...
