Israel's Future Monarchy - Voting Rights will NOT be a Central Issue.

So, Debanjan, greetings;

It has been quite some time since our cyber musings have crossed the ether: yet I ask: has it really been so long? After all, the issues relating to Israel's problem of getting a world intent on their destruction are still at large; and Israel's enemies are getting more and more impatient, much to the sense of their own impending destruction.

It might be better not to employ the word 'solution' to the circumstances of Israel's existence; for their existence is already guaranteed: the world just cannot accept that notion, to their everlasting regret.

To your question: (So combining these two factors I believe the time is ripe for Israel to grant voting rights to Arabs in Gaza and Judea and Samaria. What is your view on this point ?); The determination of 'citizenship' is still unresolved, since those Arabs who are content to live under Israeli sovereignty are targeted just as easily as the Jewish citizen that hopes desperately for a calm and cessation to the hostile antipathies that the PA, Hamas, Hizbollah and the 'Brotherhood' harbor against a Jewish state.

Just as iron and clay are immutably inconsistent materials that will nonetheless stick together under certain conditions, they are also easily separated under alternative conditions by which they can be maintained for their own purposes. So too, though historically and distantly related, the Arab and Jewish tribes/nations could get along: but do they want too?

The promise was/is to Abraham and his descendants through Isaac; but Hagar received a promise also: the world rejects the real reason for Israel's ascendency since it does not meet the objectives of a selfish ideology versus an ancient established theology. Israel is set to serve her LORD in a way the world rejects: and that is the basis of the world rejecting Israel as they do in the UN.

Ultimately, Israel's democracy will be subjected to her future as the seat of power of King David's successor to the throne, a monarchy. So it really does not matter if voting rights are at issue in the land that is Israel's. What does matter is that the world is NOT going to be the final arbiter of Israel's prominence in future global politics; and the sooner anyone who realizes this and submits to King David's heir to the throne, HaMashiach, the more easily the future is set in their mind.
