One of the things that my friend, who I won't name because of the general hatred toward Jewish people that I've been seeing, brought up during Shabbos last Friday was the moment that Abraham bought the first piece of Jewish land in the Holy Land more than three thousand years ago.
The perverse lie of the anti-Israel side is that this is a conflict that started with a land grab in 1948.
That's not true. It's never been true. It never will be true.
Even in the time of Abraham, the Jews were oppressed and not technically allowed to own property.
The first, small piece of Jewish land was a burial plot for Abraham's wife, Sarah.
It was bizarre to, even today, be subjected to rhetoric by anti-Israel people suggesting that most of the Jews came from Europe.
Sure, a lot of Jews migrated to Europe due to oppression; but, the homeland of the Jews has always been the land of Canaan.
If we're gonna talk about colonizers and indigenous peoples, we should know what we're talking about right now.
The Jews are to the land of Israel much more than the Iroquois are to the land of New York.
If the radical left had any moral consistency, they would be slavishly supporting Israel conquering everything from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, but, they lack that consistency.
As it was said before, "To be a Jew is to have a sense of memory."
