AMERICA AND THE FOUNDING
OF ISRAEL
An Investigation of the
Morality of America's Role |
| by John
W. Mulhall, CSP |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
Rightly
or wrongly, willingly or not, every
American, simply by citizenship, is involved
in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
To give
background to assess the morality of U.S.
actions, the book first asks: |
|
| |
- Who has a greater
moral right to the Holy Land?
- The Bible portrays
God as promising it to Abraham's
descendants. What special moral right,
if any, do they, whether Jews or Arabs,
have to the Holy Land today based on
those scripture passages?
|
|
| |
The
Romans expelled some, but not all, Jews from
Palestine. What claim, if any, does that
give Jews today to that land? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Some
Jewish families have lived there for more
than a century. What moral rights does
this longevity give them? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Arabs
have lived there at least since the seventh
century. What moral rights does this longevity give them? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The books
examines each of these issues. |
