Nations, prior to its termination after WW2 was preparing to file proceedings
against England for violating the terms of The Mandate for Palestine and
intentionally disregarding their responsibility in creating a National home for
the Jewish people and restricting Jewish immigration (which caused the deaths
of millions of Jewish families in German extermination camps) while
disregarding the illegal immigration of hundreds of thousands of Arabs into
Palestine. But it was dissolved and the U.N. never followed through.

The Koran itself is extraordinarily clear
about the status of the Land of Israel in Islam. While in general criticizing Jews
for their supposed sinfulness, something the Jewish Bible does quite a lot of
also, the Koran relates in Sura 5:21, that Moses (a revered teacher in Islam)
tells the Jews to “enter into the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you.” Moses adds to his
people, according the Koran:
“O my people! Remember the bounty of God upon you when He bestowed prophets upon you , and made you kings and gave you that which had not been given to anyone before you amongst the nations. O my people! Enter theHoly Land which God has written for you, and do
not turn tail, otherwise you will be losers.”
Elsewhere (Sura 17, 104) the Koran proclaims: “And thereafter We [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: ‘Dwell securely in the Promised Land. And when the last warning will come to pass, we will gather you together in a mingled crowd.'” The founder of modern Zionism, Theodore Herzl, could not have said it better.
The legitimacy of Jewish claims to the Land of Israel is repeated in Sura 10:93-94:
“We settled the Children of Israel in a beautiful dwelling-place (Israel)…If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee.”
The Koran also explicitly documents the existence of the Jewish Temples on theTemple Mount in Jerusalem . Sura
17:7 records the destruction of the First Jewish Temple by Babylon and the Second Temple by Rome , and
Mohammed never contests the Bible’s claim that the Temples were in Jerusalem . Indeed,
the return of the Jews to their homeland after centuries of exile can be seen
as the fulfillment of Islamic prophecy. Sura 17:104 of the Koran says: “And we
said to the Children of Israel afterwards, ‘Go live into this land (Israel ). When
the final prophecy comes to pass, we will summon you all in one group.’”
As noted by Prof. Khaleel Mohammed, from the Department of Religious Studies atSan
Diego State University , the
medieval exegetes of the Koran – roughly analogous to the Talmud for Judaism –
recognize Israel as belonging
to the Jews, as their birthright given to them by God. Two of Islam’s most
famous exegetes explained thus: ‘Ibn Kathir said: “That which God has written
for you, i.e. that which God has promised to you by the words of your father
Israel that it is the inheritance of those among you who believe.” Muhammad
al-Shawkani interprets Kataba to mean “that which God has allotted and
predestined for you in His primordial knowledge, deeming it as a place of
residence for you.”’
“O my people! Remember the bounty of God upon you when He bestowed prophets upon you , and made you kings and gave you that which had not been given to anyone before you amongst the nations. O my people! Enter the
