The Gaza strip of today's Palestinians

These images clearly show the Gaza-strip shaped like a "shoulder."
Not surprisingly, the Scriptures predict modern Israel "shall swoop down upon the shoulder of the Philistines in the west...," at a time when G-d is once more assembling the outcasts of Israel, and gathering the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth, joining them into one nation - as is the case today -, no longer divided into two kingdoms¹².

Before Israel swooped down upon this "shoulder" of the Gaza strip, the Arabs living there (now called Palestinians) could not raise one green blade of grass from that soil. But Israelis created within the span of 30 years luscious and prosperous communities upon it, a self-sustaining infrastructure called Gush Kativ. Then the world community - who so despises G-d's people that they are no longer a nation in her sight and hence treats Israel with contempt¹³ - demanded of Israel to uproot these communities to make room for a Palestinian state. But all that the Palestinians have done with that land is launching Qassam-, Grad- and Katyusha rockets from it to terrorize Israel's southern cities and communities, to kill and destroy.

Arafat had siphoned off multi-millions into private bank accounts. The remainder he spent on building an airport for which there is no use, a huge casino - now closed - in Jericho for gambling tourists, and his underground bunker and "official" headquarters. And, of course, he purchased weapons to threaten and terrorize Israel.

Now examine the adjacent land cultivated by Israelis: it has fields and orchards, gardens, vineyards and parks, which is why there is a visible "green line" between the Jewish and the Palestinian areas. The land readily yields itself to her rightful owners as a bride gives herself to her bridegroom.
