The Boundaries of Peace

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday raised the pressure on Israel to freeze its settlement building program in occupied territory and to resume the peace process with the Palestinians.

The Land of Israel was given to the Jewish People by God through the Torah with precise boundaries delineated by the Meditereanim Sea from the west and by the Jordan River to the east; the land was given by God to the Jewish People because the majority of the 613 Commandments can only be performed within the perimeter of Israel according to the law of the Torah.

At the advent of taking the land 3500 years ago it was necessary to drive out the seven nations of Caanan the epitome of the Seven Kings of Tohu/Chaos, according to the Cabala, who broke, falling into this world seeding life with the emotion of wanting everything–the Palestinians lived on the land from then until now.

The land of Israel was never about state or even kingdom and all peaceful people were welcomed then and now to live in Israel with the Jewish People–they have an official name, Ger ToShev/Settled Stranger who the Torah commands to be treated with respect.

Twenty percent of the land occupied by the Jewish State houses Israeli-Arabs with full rights while none of the area controlled by the Palestinians has Jewish occupancy other then the settlements on the West Bank.

No doubt, Torah works better than politics.
