Question: Howto resolvethe Israeli–Palestinianconflict?
The problemcouldbe resolvedif we refertothe true religion teachingsinsteadof the distortedones

2. The core of the issue isthe wrongunderstandingthatthe Jewsare the unconditionallychosenpeopleof
God; that iswrong accordingto the teachingsof Moseslike Exodus19:5, Leviticus18:4-5, Leviticus26,
Deuteronomy11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy28, Deuteronomy30:15-16 , andDeuteronomy30:19,
Deuteronomy32:46-47
Those are the mostreiteratedandconsistentteachingsof Torahwhichteachthat the choice of God and
the blessingsare conditional ‘blessingsforobedience andcursesfordisobedience’
Mosesdidnot teach that the Jewsare the onlychosenpeople;the correctdefinitionof the chosen
people of Godas taught byMoses isan openinvitationtoeachpersontobe a chosensonof God by
obedience,bymaintainingjustice,byapplyingone measure orone law forJewsandNon-Jews,for
takingcare of the orphans,the widows,andthe strangers
Jewishscholarsdonotteachthe original teachingsanymore;theyteachthe distortedteachingsof
Deuteronomy9:5-6and Deuteronomy7:6in orderto claimthat God has chosenthemregardlessof the
conditionof obedience
Those claimswere nottaughtby Moses,David,Solomon,Isaiah,orbythe Prophets;those prophets
have warnedof the wrong teachings
Psalms4:3 teachesthatpeople are consideredasthe chosenpeople of Godbecause of theirobedience,
not because of the righteousnessof theirfathers
The main reasonof the conflictisthe assumptionthatthe Jewsare superiorto othersandthat they
have the right to dowhatevertheywantwithoutmaintainingjustice andwithouthavingto applythe
same lawfor JewsandNon-Jews
Moseshas warnedof the expectedcorruptionandturningfromthe wayhe has commandedhispeople,
inDeuteronomy31:27-29 he said
For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against the
LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die!
And
For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from
the way I have commanded you.
There ismuch more warningof the scripture changesbymanyprophets;examplesare Amos8:11-12,
Jeremiah8:8-13, 5:30-31, and 23:16, 21, 32, 36, Isaiah30:9-11

3. In orderto resolve the problem,itisnecessarytofollow the original teachings,tomaintainjustice and
to have the same law forJewsandnon-Jewsasperthe original TorahteachingsDeuteronomy25:13-16,
Exodus12:49, Leviticus19:33-37, Leviticus24:22, Numbers15:15-16, Deuteronomy24:14-15
To resolve the conflict,itisnecessarytomaintainJusticeastaughtby Mosesand the Prophets;if any
house or landisnot soldto the Jews;thenthe oldowneror hisdescendantmustbe fairlycompensated
To resolve the conflict,itisnecessarytouse the same measure andthe same law for Jew andnon-Jew
as taught byMoses andby the Prophets

We shouldfollowthe wisdomtaughtinIsaiah2:4; itteachesthat
‘Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more’
Isaiah also taught that the efforts and the resources should be invested in the agricultural tools
to produce food instead of wasting the resources in the military hardware
‘they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks’
We shouldalsorememberthe wisdomtaughtinIsaiah9:16
Those who guide this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.

We shouldalsorememberthe wisdomtaughtinIsaiah32:16-18
The wisdom teach that justice will bring peace
We shouldalsorememberthe prophecyof Isaiah19:23-25
23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to
Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will
worship together. 24 In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a
blessing[b] on the earth. 25 The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt
my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.”
Isaiahmentionedthatwe shouldnotlistentothe leaderswhopromote wars,we shouldchange the
prioritytothe agricultural toolsandprosperityinsteadof buildingthe militaryhardware,
Alsomentionedthatwithoutjustice;people will nothave peace orsecuredhome;thenhe predicted
that there will be peace andcontinuousroadsbetweenEgypt,Palestine,andIsrael andthatthose
nationswill be blessed
