By RYAN JONES, ISRAEL TODAY—
Earlier this month a group of prominent Israeli rabbis issued a call for earnest prayers against the division of the Land of Israel, as currently being negotiated by Israeli, American and Palestinian officials.
“For the past several months there have been ongoing diplomatic negotiations centering on the demand to give up additional parts of the land of Israel,” read the call, which was issued via fliers and street posters displayed around Israel.
The rabbis noted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is under pressure to agree to further withdrawals, God forbid.” They called on all faithful Jews to recite additional prayers pertaining to the continued unity of the Land of Israel under Jewish sovereignty.
Israel’s left-leaning mainstream media originally reported on the rabbis’ call as an “anti-peace” movement.
But, as religious news outlet Israel National News noted, the rabbis “do not see their call to safeguard the land of Israel as ‘anti-peace,’ but rather the opposite: they believe that conceding land without true peace will lead to bloodshed.”
We, who love G-d, are praying much for Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem, and I would beg Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu : please do not give in to demands to give up even an inch of Israeli land. It is Yahweh’s land. Trust Him totally and He will defend you.

Yes Vi I totally agree with you. Can someone get this scripture to Mr Netanyahu? …….
Exodus 23: 31-33. ” And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and THOU SHALT DRIVE THEM OUT BEFORE THEE. THOU SHALT MAKE NO COVENANT WITH THEM, nor with their gods. THEY SHALL NOT DWELL IN THY LAND, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.”
Please Israel listen to your God for once and not the rest of the world.
