I'm gonna reply under the assumption that you're acting in good faith, and are unware that the 3rd Position is a term used to encompass neofascist thought that emerged in the Cold War. It's a good idea to stop using the term if you actually want to recruit people to your faith who aren't fucking demented.
“If either side doesn’t eat bacon, not my problem”, seems to have become pretty popular, so the Holy Land can go to neither, instead going to its true original inhabitants, Christians. Due to recent continuous persecution, I nominate the Syrian and Syriac Orthodoxy followed by the Maronite then Ethiopian Orthodoxies.
Those crimes were committed because of their beliefs. It’s kind of hard to separate them. It’s one of those “I have right until my right violet yours“, then it’s no longer right and in fact, it was a war crime and a crime against humanity. All that is to say, their police are 100% contributed to all of it.
It is not about legitimacy, but rather about effect. The Mormons or Jehovah’s Witness can deny the divinity of Christ all they want, but that does not make it true, as may Jewish religious figures in 🇮🇱. They would not be in Israel nor would they have a monopoly if they did not have an effective Land claim.
It is where Christ was sacrificed. Multiple holy events take place in that holy city, is where Christ will return and is the template for the new heaven and new earth. I will say the Jews have just as much of a claim, especially to the temple. The Muslims, however, had Jerusalem shoehorned into their Quran and other holy works around 200 years after the profitand was a land claim first but the justification second.
I feel like my critique still stands that anyone can fabricate some religious claim to a region. Ofc if you follow one religion you’re not gonna agree with the claims of other religions. How would you settle the dispute between Jews and Christian if this is how we’re deciding who gets what land?
Ha, yeah, let me clarify: In my ideal (Elmo world as far as I’m concerned), it’d be nice if the ethnic cleansing of Christians across the region could stop. Additionally, it’d be nice if Lebanon was restored to the “Israel for MENA For Christians. I believe this is realistic however unlikely. The restoration of the whole Levant, Anatolia, to Christendom, would be nice. This is unrealistic and unlikely.
Ok my understand is that Lebanon has legal protections for Christians but it’s never been a Christian Israel. They’ve divided power institutionally by faith it’s never been fully Christian dominated. That’s part of my previous point that if there was a real push for these ofc Muslim/ Jews would feel differently towards Christians.
I don’t know about the second point. Please clarify. As to your first point, no, it has never been a super majority of Christians, however, it was a majority Christian nation, and there were real protections, that worked, there were reserved positions in government for Christians to ensure the Christians would not be dominated, and there was representation from multiple nations, including multiple sects of Christians. With an influx of Palestine “refugees”, there is now Hesballa.
