Whose Land? (documentary)

Whose Land is a documentary which examines the claims to the Land of Israel, through the eyes of historians and international lawyers. It is produced and directed by Hugh Kitson and narrated by Colonel Richard Kemp. It is shown as a series of bite-sized documentaries on Youtube (links below), generally 10-15 minutes in length each, and gives a very good historical background to the issues going on today and the disputes over the land.
The Bible says God is restoring the nation of Israel, the Jewish people, back to the land He originally gave to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It is through Israel and the Jewish people that we have the written Word of God, the Bible and the Gospel, and indeed the Saviour. Jesus Himself was (and is) Jewish. This is why the Jewish people in general, and Israel in particular, have been persecuted throughout history, and why the nation and their land is so contested today.
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely. 38 They shall be My people, and I will be their God; 39 then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. 40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. 41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’ Jeremiah 32:37-41
