Please keep in mind the year 1979 as I progress through this topic.

It is very easy to say the turning point in establishing Israel as the Hebrew homeland was directly connected to the Holocaust and why Holocaust Deniers have propaganda to defeat the idea there was a Holocaust and the Jewish people were the victims. Anyone that understands the Holocaust knows there were other ethnic groups and prisoners of war in the practices of the Third Reich, but, most if not all the other ethnicities have sovereign countries to call home; the Jewish people did not. I also will say creating Israel was the best idea anyone every had. 

The first occupation of the lands that would become Palestine and Israel is of course "The Crusades (click here)." At the time of The Crusades war and conquest was a sport of the ruling classes. It was a way of life and a source of wealth to the monarchies. The Crusades were unique in that it was more than wealth the British Monarchy was looking for, but, control over the Holy Lands.

The Crusades (click here) were a series of religious wars, sanctioned by the Catholic Church, to take control of the Holy Land of Jerusalem (modern-day Israel) from the ruling Muslim Caliphate during the Middle Ages. With the First Crusade beginning in 1095, the call went out from the Vatican for Christian nations to send soldiers to fight. Britain’s contribution to the Crusades varied over the centuries from being only incidentally involved to being a major power in Jerusalem. We will examine the involvement of British nations in the various Crusades and the effects they had on the United Kingdom....

Why go all the way back to Medieval times? Because of the uniqueness of THIS LAND. The understanding these lands are special and coveted for religious understandings demonstrates a few things, but, primarily because of the birth of "Jesus Christ" and the long term value that event carried permanently to these lands. No one came along valuing these lands for their holy content from a Jim Jones Church idea. These lands have been valued as "The Holy Land" for millennium. The British Empire did not give the land it's value, it wanted to possess these lands. The religious value of these lands superseded any monetary value of them.

Also to note, there have been chronic values of these lands across all Abrahamic faiths.

I DO NOT SEE THE RELIGIOUS VALUE OF THESE LANDS CHANGING EVER!

It is vital to any conflict over land to understand the history and the value that history carries. In every Pacific island and atoll in dispute today there is a history. Some of the histories may have been rewritten for political outcomes and that should be detectable. But, in the case of the Pacific islands in dispute, the history especially where tampered with becomes a disabling event and needs to be regarded as toxic if it means a poor outcome to the land and the people that live on it. If the islands are manmade as with Dubai's sporting artificial islands, the history may or may not favor the creation of the island. Today, we know China seeks power by establishing artificial islands.

Manila/Beijing  - The Philippines (click here) said on Monday that it would keep a closer guard on reefs, shoals and islets in its exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea, as China denied accusations of trying to build an artificial island in the disputed waters.

The Philippine Coast Guard said on Saturday it had deployed a ship to Sabina Shoal on the Spratly archipelago, where it accused China of building an artificial island, having documented what it said were piles of dead and crushed coral on the sandbars.

Jonathan Malaya, spokesperson of the National Security Council (NSC), said NSC chief Eduardo Ano had ordered a tighter guard at locations within Manila’s 200-nautical mile economic zone, as a long-standing diplomatic row with Beijing intensifies.

“No one will guard (these locations) except us. It is our responsibility under international law to guard (them) and ensure that the environment there would not be damaged and that there won’t be reclamation activities,” Malaya told a regular television program.

China claims almost all of the South China Sea, including parts claimed by the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam, and has carried out extensive land reclamation on some islands, building military facilities, causing concern in Washington and the region....

These artificial islands built by China does not afford China a greater sovereign presence no matter what Beijing argues. They are artificial works with intention to impinge power over other sovereign countries. The artificial islands are meaningless and quite frankly an annoyance. The ONLY reason China gets away with it is because it has become a "Bully State."

With that nothing in the Middle East is artificial. Those lands are coveted through biblical proportions and every claim to them important to understand. The people living on Holy Lands and carrying out pilgrimages within The Holy Land have every right to be on those lands. The history of people and the Holy Land is incredibly documented. The Abrahamic test across those religions is highly accurate.
