Allah Says that Palestine is for the Jews

An excerpt from my latest book, Israel and the Middle East: Will There Ever Be Peace?

What does the Bible and the Qur’an say about Palestine and Palestinians?  In a word: Nothing! The two words do not appear anywhere in the Bible or the Qur’an. The terminology is a fairly recent invention of militant Arabs living in the Jewish Promised Land in an effort to corrupt and hijack both biblical and traditional history.

Throughout Islamic history, Arabic Muslims, following the teaching and example of Muhammad, have relentlessly persecuted the Jews—not only in what Muslims consider Palestine, but throughout the world. The claim of Arabic Muslims is that Palestine—that is, Canaan or the “Holy Land”—was always the inherited land of Muslims and that the Jews have no right to it and are to  be driven out. Yet, the Qur’an—and this will be a shocker to both Muslims and infidels—states that Allah promised Moses and the Jews the land of Canaan or the Holy Land.

And when Musa [Moses] said to his people: O my people! Remember the favor of Allah upon you when He raised prophets among you and made you kings and gave you what He had not given to any other among the nations.

O my people! Enter the holy land which Allah has prescribed for you and turn not on your backs [i.e., turn away or depart] for then you will turn back losers (surah 5:20-21, author’s emphasis).

Four things are noteworthy in the preceding surah.  The entire rendition of Moses and the Promised Land, along with its incongruities, in surah 5:20-26, is taken from the Bible version in Numbers 13.  It is not unique to the Qur’an.  The Bible story tells of Moses sending the twelve spies into the Promised Land with ten of them returning fearful and only two, Joshua and Caleb coming  back with a positive report.  The Qur’an tries to copy the story, but leaves all the significant details about the spies.

First, it is revealed that God (not Allah) did, indeed, promise the Jews that they would occupy the  Holy Land or Canaan.

Second, there were no kings ruling over the Jews during Moses’ lifetime. Moses died before the Jews entered Canaan and almost 200 years before the prophet Samuel anointed Saul as the first king of the Israelites.

Third, Allah tells his followers that he gave the Holy Land to the Jews and no other nation among them.

Fourth, God (not Allah) commands the Jews to never give up the land of Canaan that he has prescribed for them. It is important to note that Allah never spoke to the Jews, but the Qur’an claims that he did. Despite this revelation of the Jews’ right to Palestine in perpetuity in the Muslim’s own holy book, Muslims are bent on annihilating or forcing the Jews from their rightful homeland as guaranteed to them by God in the Bible and Allah in the Qur’an. Nevertheless, in surah 7:157, Allah commands his followers to follow that which is written in the Torah and the Gospel.

There is, however, another convoluted possibility when considering Muhammad’s mindset and theology. Remember, Muhammad claims that Allah revealed that all the prophets of the Bible were indeed Muslims. Therefore, in surah 5:20 when Allah is talking about Moses and his people, maybe Muhammad believed that Allah was proclaiming the holy land was for Muslims since Musa (Moses) was a “Muslim.”

When it comes to the Jews, Allah is apparently very changeable. “And certainly you have known  those [Jews] among you who exceeded [profaned] the limits of the Sabbath, so We said to them: Be (as) apes, despised and hated” (surah 2:65). This derogatory view of Jews by Allah is repeated  in surah 7:166. In surah 5:60, Jews are referred to by Allah not only as apes but as swine, as well, thus giving Muslims the perceived right to habitually dehumanize Jews by referring to them  as pigs and monkeys to this day.

Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than this in retribution from Allah? (Worse  is he) whom Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon [the Jews], and whom He made apes and swine, and he who served the Shaitan [evil spirit, demon, Satan]; these are worse in place and more erring from the straight path.
