 (he &ur&ose of this article is to only e?&lore those commandments from theaboe list that are releant as re!ards the formation of the ,tate of Israeland scrutinise and ascertain "hether Israel has any le!itimacy in Judaism.

“ ;ou shall not misuse the name of the >ord your <od@

ne of the most used e?&lanations you "ill hear from ionists and those"ho hold e?treme Je"ish ie"s to justify "hy they beliee they are

and your descendants after you throughout their generations

for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your

descendants after you. And I will give to you and to your

descendants after you, the land of your sojourning’s, all the

land of anaan, for an everlasting !ossession".#$% (he belief in Judaism has al"ays been that the (em&le and former Je"ish

,tate "as lost &hysically because of the Je"ish &eo&le's failure to lie u& totheir s&iritual obli!ations to <od.

Points to Fote

As stated aboe# Israel's claim to the land of Palestine is based on oneerse in their scri&ture 7noted aboe "hilst it is clear that this claim comesat the e?&ense of an o&en iolation of other erses and in &articular# theobli!ations enshrined "ithin the 10 commandments and from the ie"s of

 Je"ish sa!es for oer a thousand years. (he state of Israel cannot &ic= andchoose "hich &arts of the scri&ture a&&ly to them. If Israel is not bound tothe obli!ations of the commandments# then ho" can they be entitled to theerse about the coenant K you cannot hae one "ithout the other.hen assessin! Israel's claim# "e should as= "hether "e "ould stand forany other nation on earth forcin! &eo&le oQ of the land that has been intheir family's &ossession for !enerations on end on the claim of scri&turefrom thousands of years a!o of "hich the ori!inal source no lon!er e?ists

todayN ould "e allo" them to lay claim to a land based on their residin!and rulin! of the land for a &eriod of only 00 years in com&arison to a&eo&le "ho had o"ned it for oer 100 yearsN ould "e stand for anyother nation initin! &eo&le from arious &arts of the earth to come andbuild ille!al settlements on land that "e all acce&t belon!s to another&eo&leN ould "e stand for them restrictin! freedom of moement#arrestin! youn! children# closin! their &orts and airs&ace# bulldo%in! theirhomes and olie trees#1 and =illin! thousands of &eo&leN (he ans"erineitably is that "e most certainly "ould not. ut many of the nationsaround the "orld "hich follo" an ean!elical brand of )hristianity such as

America turn a blind eye to all of this because Israel in their eyes is&romised to the Je"ish &eo&le. It is a shame that they do not considerIsrael's claim further "hich "ould &roe the fallacy of such a contention and"ould sho" that those "ho hold e?tremist &ositions "ithin Judaism and theionists hae no re!ard for the messa!e "ithin their o"n scri&ture.

And nally# scrutinisin! the coenant itself a little further# it is clear that theionists beliee that the coenant a&&lies to the oQs&rin! of Abraham78alayhi al-,al9m. $o"eer# it should not be for!otten that the lar!er&ortion of Abraham's 78alayhi al-,al9m oQs&rin! and linea!e hae ado&ted

Isl9m as their faith and became *uslims. (hese Palestinian *uslims haefor more than a thousand years &rotected the land# &lou!hed its soil and"atered its trees K trees that the Israelis hae of course made a habit ofu&rootin! and re&lacin! "ith the blood of innocent &eo&le. ,o een if "eacce&t that entitlement to the land is based on the coenant in 4uestion#then I "ould say that such a coenant is most li=ely a&&licable to thePalestinians "ho are the oQs&rin! of Abraham and to say other"ise is amisa&&lication of the coenant.
