The State of Israel

"We will be ready in a future peace agreement to reach a solution where a demilitarized Palestinian state exists alongside the Jewish state." Benjamin Natanyahu, the prime minister of Israel.

The Land of Israel was given to the Jewish People 3500 years ago by the Creator through the Torah for the purpose of performing 613 Commandments–the majority of which require living on the land. There is no commandment to make a state.

When the Jewish People left Egypt and became a people they were promised a land flowing with milk and honey; when they came to the land forty years later God commanded the Jewish People to push out the seven nations of Canaan, but not the Palestinian People who, the Torah says, arrived there five hundred years earlier from Africa just prior to Avraham.

Obviously, God’s desire is for these two peoples to dwell together. The idea of two states sounds more like Rome’s way of divide and conquer than God’s way of peace and unity.
