‘By God’s promise this land is ours!’ Settlers attack Palestinian oliver-pickers

The film shows a settler attack on the Palestinian citizens of Tel Rumeida, and how the attacking settlers are guarded, aided and abetted by the soldiers of the Israeli occupation forces.

The film shows how the soldiers, rather than deter the criminal actions of the settlers, actually defend them. The film also shows how the occupation soldiers treat the Palestinians and foreign activists who are there to protect the citizens. Also the film documents the arrest of a 50 year old foreign activist, while settlers stand by insulting the Palestinians. According to Engineer Issa Amr, Coordinator of Youth Against the Settlements, the settlers and the IOF appear to coordinate attacks on the population in the area of Tel Rumeida.

The attacks have accelerated since the beginning of the olive harvest. These attacks include assaults on the citizens, destruction of the olive trees by cutting or burning trees, and theft of the olive harvest itself. At no time have the Israeli police and occupation soldiers done anything to prevent or stop the attacks and or theft. The occupation soldiers arrested Jawad Abu Eisha (34) and Imad Atrash (18) in addition to the 50-year-old solidarity activist, as they tried to prevent the settlers from attacking the people harvesting the olives in the region.

Technically if you’re into that sort of thing the land of Israel belongs to the Lord and to add insult to injury Christ is his Zion, spiritually speaking of course. You reject Him He ejects Israel out, off the land. Them’s the rules.

G-d promised the land to Abraham in Genesis 12:3. The exact understanding of the recipient of the promise is understood from Ezekiel 33:

’24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.’

It goes on to say:

’25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?

26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land?

27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.

28 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.

29 Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.’

“God’s promise” Lots of death and destruction based on myths

> “‘By God’s promise this land is ours!’”

I’m afraid whoever said this is mistaken.

I have in my possession a document that gives all lands claimed by the people of israel to the people of Papua New Guinea as their playground. This document, signed by god personally, witnessed by himself, and dated a.d. 1973, explicitly states that it supersedes all preceding documented promises.

MY COMMENT: Watching the video is like watching something out of the Dark Ages. Medievalism on steroids! Like those old back & white movies where the Knights Templar are up on parapets and pour big cauldrons of boiling liquids down on their enemies below.
It also remind me a little of the “snake handlers” in the backwoods down in “these here parts”. Those people still occasionally lose one of their congregants down here to “Satan’s venom”.
What we need is a big, international, Scopes-like trial where these settlers have to prove in a court of law that God promised that land to them.
