"Promised Land" is mentioned in all the holy books of monotheist religions - Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
How big is this promised land? It's big. It includes all the lands where the Israelite prophets (Bani Israil) ever left their foot prints according to the Old Testament. That includes present day Iraq because Abraham (Nabi Ibrahim) was born there. It also includes Egypt because it was the birth place of Moses (Nabi Musa) . And Jordan too, because John the Baptist (Nabi Yahya) used to baptize folks in the Jordan River. Hebron and Palestine are alos included because Moses lays buried there. So no wonder, Jews are building homes on Palestine territory while the American look on with one eye closed.
The Jews and the American are serious about claiming ownership of the promised land. The Jews let know their intention by depicting their claim on their flags.The two parallel blue lines on the flags represent rivers. The one on the top, the Tigris and the one at the bottom, the Nile. In between is the star of David. Promised land is anything in between these two rivers. The present boundary of the Jewish state is temporary because their claimed boundary of Greater Israel is bigger. Israel is the only country in the world that has not registered its state boundary at the United Nation.
I was in United States from 1979 - 1981 when that country was not on good term with Iran - the hostage crisis. As a result of that the price of oil at the pump shot up 100%. I used to hear jokes going around "How come our oil is under their sand?" That speaks volumes about the American attitude. I also read in the American press about a congressman who said that "If we can't get them oil, let's invade their country" Unbelievable. That is the earlier version of George W.Bush
Who is the legal heir of the Promised Land? I say the Muslims because all the Israelite prophets
Moses, David, Jesus etc. were messengers of Islam. It's difficult to resolve this claim at ICJ. Nevertheless, its worth a try because there a precedance where a religious issue was settled in court 300 years after Christianity arrived in Rome. The contention was about the son ship of Jesus. Some Christians believed it some did not. That worried the emperor. He did not the Christians to split. So he set up a tribunal at Nicea and it was there that they agreed that Jesus was the son of God. (Allah was raving mad over this) And so it remains to this day.
If a religoius could be resolved at a tribunal in the past why can't we resolve the present claim at a tribubal too?This is urgent because all the troubles in the world are caused by the American and the Jews over this conflicting claim
