Thank you, Raphy...

Rashi states on Torah’s very first verse: “It could happen that
gentiles will claim the Jews stole the Land of Israel from them.
Therefore, G-d related His mighty works in the Book of Genesis to show
that it was He Who created the Land of Israel and gave it to the
Jewish People.”

And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the
nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of
tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso of the families of the earth
goeth not up unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts,
upon them there shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not
up, and come not, they shall have no overflow; there shall be the
plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the nations that go not up to
keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt,
and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to keep the feast
of tabernacles.

Zechariah 14: 16-19

3 Weeks and Counting - Nations Vote Against H-shem?

The Significance of September 20th
by Raphael Cohen

Many people don't understand the significance of the Palestinians' UN bid for statehood. What is actually happening is that the nations of the world will take a vote against G-d Himself in His Holy House. They will be announcing, in unison, that this is NOT the land that G-d gave to the Jews, and that this is not the House in which H-shem chose to dwell!

If you look at the first Rashi in Bereshit that talks about the nations accusing Israel of stealing the Land of Israel from indigenous peoples, it mentions that H-shem is the One Who decrees that nations should exist. H-shem has given the land to Israel and taken it away from the indigenous people and Israel is the rightful inhabitant of the land.

This month, the nations, in their brazenness, are going to declare that this land does not actually belong to Israel, and now belongs to another nation. This month also begins the new year and all nations are judged on that day. H-shem deals middah keneged middah with nations. These nations can be in jeopardy since H-shem could decide to take away sovereignty of their own lands as a punishment.
