Israel’s True Owners: History, Love, and Legacy

Who Really Owns the Land of Israel? The Answer Is as Clear as the Jerusalem Stone

When people ask, “Who does this land truly belong to?” — the answer is ancient, undeniable, and written into the very fabric of history itself. To understand it, we need to go back to one of the wisest rulings in human history: the biblical story of King Solomon.

The Wisdom of Solomon: A Lesson in True Ownership

In the Book of Kings, two women came before King Solomon, each claiming to be the mother of the same child. Both pleaded, argued, and insisted they were the rightful mother. Solomon, known for his unmatched wisdom, proposed to divide the child in two with a sword, giving half to each woman.

One agreed — cold and detached.
The other, overwhelmed with love and humanity, begged the king to spare the child and give him to the other woman.

In that moment, Solomon knew who the real mother was — the one who loved, nurtured, and was willing to sacrifice for the child.

This isn’t just a biblical tale — it’s a metaphor for the land of Israel.

Israel: A Land Loved, Cultivated, and Defended

The Jewish people are the indigenous, historical, and spiritual caretakers of the land of Israel. For thousands of years, Jews have prayed facing Jerusalem, yearned for Zion, and cultivated this soil with their own hands. No people on earth have demonstrated such love, dedication, and sacrifice for a land.

Consider this:

• Israel is the only country in the world that entered the 21st century with more trees than it had a century earlier. Despite deserts, rocky hills, and droughts, Israelis planted forests, created fertile fields, and made the desert bloom — literally.
• The Negev Desert and Arava, once barren, now produce fruits, flowers, and vegetables exported around the globe. Israel’s drip irrigation, agricultural innovation, and environmental dedication have turned wastelands into oases.
• Jerusalem, Israel’s eternal capital, is clad in a unique, warm golden stone — Jerusalem Stone — used for millennia. Since 1918, a city ordinance has required its use in all building facades, preserving the ancient city’s visual identity and historical connection. These stones built the Western Wall, the ancient synagogues, and modern homes alike. No other city in the world carries such a visible, sacred continuity.

A Stark Contrast: The Destruction of the Land

Those who illegitimately claim Israel as their own have demonstrated time and again a shocking disregard for the land.

Look at the facts:

• Arab villages often suffer from environmental neglect, garbage piles, and car graveyards at their entrances — visible markers of disregard, not love.
• In the years leading up to October 7th, 2023, terrorists from Gaza fired thousands of rockets into Israel. These weren’t just aimed at civilians — they caused rampant fires, destroying forests, wildlife, and ecosystems painstakingly nurtured over decades. If this land was truly theirs, would they burn it to ash?

Love for a land is shown not by slogans, but by care, cultivation, and protection.

The Proven Indigenous People

Let’s be clear:
Jews are the indigenous people of Israel.
No other people have a continuous, documented presence, religious connection, and unbroken yearning for this land like the Jewish nation. From the ancient Kingdom of Israel to the modern State of Israel, the connection has never been severed.

Even Roman occupiers named the land “Palestina” in the 2nd century to erase Jewish identity — but they failed. Jewish synagogues, coins, scrolls, and artifacts from every age prove the uninterrupted bond between the Jewish people and their land.

It’s Time to End the Lies

The land of Israel belongs to those who love it, defend it, cultivate it, and have called it home for over 3,000 years.
Those who desecrate it with fire, hatred, and violence prove they are not its rightful heirs.

As King Solomon revealed the real mother through love and sacrifice, history reveals the real owners of Israel through care, creation, and devotion.

The Jewish people are the rightful, indigenous, eternal stewards of the land of Israel. And that truth, like the Jerusalem Stone, stands firm, eternal, and unshakable.
