Palestine not for Israelites

THE EDITOR: US President Donald Trump had said that Palestine would be the capital of Israel. Trump does not know anything of the history of Palestine and God. Palestine is the Holy Land (Q5:21). It was promised to the Jewish nation by Abraham (Gen 12:7, 8).

Palestine was never assigned to the Israelite children because it was given to the seeds of Abraham – Isaac and Jacob, ie, the 12 tribes.

Once Palestine was deemed to be the birthright of the Jews (2. Kings 17, 23). It was not Palestine but Kashmir that God had promised Moses for the children of Israel.
