The land belongs to God and is on loan to the Israelites to possess it.  It belongs to the Jew, not the Muslim.
 
Israeli group opposes Bush's plan for 'painful political concessions'

Leaders of a pro-Jewish movement within Israel's Likud Party are not happy with the "painful political concessions" President Bush says must be made for peace in the Middle East.
 
 

Speaking from the Palestinian-occupied area of the West Bank, the president called for an end to what he says is an "occupation" of Arab land by the Israeli military. Bush also said that any agreement will require adjustments be made to the Israeli borders drawn in the late 1940s. The proposal would allow, at one point, only a nine-mile-wide corridor of Israeli territory between the new Palestinian state and the sea -- which opponents say would be impossible to defend.
 
Manhigut Yehudit -- or the Jewish Leadership Movement of Liked -- is strongly opposed to this plan. U.S. director Rob Muchnick recalls what former Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eben said about those 1948-to-1967 borders. "He called those the Auschwitz borders, meaning if we go back to those borders, we're going to be back in Auschwitz. And that didn't turn out too well for us," he warns.
 
The bottom line, says Muchnick, is that the land was given to the Jewish people by God. "The point is, the land belongs to the Jews ... period. The land belongs to the state of Israel. And that's it," he concludes. "And as Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion said 65 years ago, no Jew has the right to give up one inch of the land of Israel."
 
Muchnick says his group will not accept any plan that would carve up Israel to create a "Palestinian state."
