I don't mean to flog this discussion to death, but the matter of the Promised Land is the essence of the problem. Is it not a fact, according to biblical record anyway, that Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt to the promised land, although he died and personally never actually saw it? The confusing part for me is that the actual location of the promised land was known, in the time of Moses. And so the Israelites eventually occupied it, and made Jerusalem the capital. However, if I understand you, you do not agree with this historical account? The Israelites did "grab" the land way back then, as the land was not empty. But that land, from everything I was ever taught, is the Jewish "promised land". The idea that Jews should now live in dispersion, all the while knowing where their "promised land" is, must indeed be a very difficult and harsh way of life, as it is the tendency of people to unite in one location based on common ethnicity and religion. But I now have a new understanding of the term "wandering Jew" .
