Recently the CBS Sunday Morning Show seemed to be making the argument that archeological expeditions on the West Bank of Israel have caused the displacement of Palestinians from their native land. Historically this proves not to be true.
“How archaeology turns political in the West Bank” – CBS Sunday Morning Show
In the opening of this segment narrator Seth Doane reads this:
“It’s one of at least 5,000 archaeological sites here, a place most commonly known as the West Bank. Some call it by its ancient or biblical name, Judea and Samaria. The UN says it’s occupied Palestinian territory. With this doorway, you can really see the different eras, the different people who were here.”
Believing in what the United Nations tells us has become very difficult as the organization has lost all credibility. President Trump has called out the UN numerous times for it’s bias and compromised opinions.
From Google A.I. on what President Trump thinks about today’s U.N.:
“In early 2026, President Trump initiated a sharp pullback from the UN, issuing executive orders to withdraw from dozens of UN entities and international organizations deemed contrary to U.S. interests. His administration cut funding for numerous programs, including the UN Population Fund and UNRWA, while drawing intense criticism from UN experts over immigration policy.”
The Philistines
People who don’t support the Palestinians will be quick to say, “You’ll never find the country of Palestine on any historical map!” While their statement is technically true, the Palestinians were once known as the Philistinians. The Philistine territory, known as Philistia, was located in southern Israel where the Gaza Strip is now.
Israel was trying to do the right thing in returning Gaza to the Palestinians, but that was not what the Palestinians wanted. Israel acknowledges the Palestinians right to exist, but the Palestinians, ruled by Hamas, do not acknowledge the right of the Jews and Israel to exist.
As I wrote back in 2023:
“If you are still trying to figure out the good guys from the bad guys in this scenario, consider these two founding documents from both Israel and Hamas.
The Israeli Declaration of Independence of 1948 states, ‘We extend our hand to all neighboring states and their people in an offer of peace and good neighborliness, Israel will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion or race; It will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture.’
While the Hamas covenant of 1988 states ‘Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam obliterates it. There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by Jihad (Muslim war). Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah (Muslim god) is the loftiest of its wishes.’”
“Historical TRUTH BOMBS for Pro-Palestinian Protesters” – The Thinking Conservative
So, while CBS news portrays the Palestinians as victims, Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary, “The Dragon’s Prophecy”, based on Jonathan Cahn’s bestselling book, gives a much more honest look at who the Jews are, who the Palestinians are, and whose land belongs to whom.
The Dragon’s Prophecy | OUT NOW | SalemNOW
The “dragon” representing a Biblical adversary based on Revelation 12:3, analyzes the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel as the fulfillment of Biblical end-times prophecies. One of the most fascinating things about this documentary is it tells of end-times when good and evil are going to start showing themselves more prevalently. D’Souza parallels the unthinkable evils perpetrated by Hamas on October 7th invading Israel with recent archeological Biblical discoveries proving Christ’s presence as the historical truth of God’s goodness.
“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.” – Deuteronomy 29:29
CONCLUSION:
“But if a man acts with premeditation against his neighbor, to kill him by treachery, you shall take him from My altar, that he may die.” – Exodus 21:14
Presidents Donald Trump and Bibi Netanyahu took the right action with the military in both Gaza and Iran. A failure to act would have made a bad situation worse.
A telling portion of “The Dragon’s Prophecy” was the interviews of young Palestinian children testifying how they would love to kill a Jew by either shooting them with a gun or running them over with a car. These are brainwashed children who further a multi-generational evil.
D’Souza makes the case that Palestinians in the West Bank do not want to acknowledge archeology because it proves Biblical truth and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He makes the case that Jews (Old Testament) and Christians (New Testament) are in a quest for God’s goodness, while Islam looks like the evil from Revelation 12.3.
In his documentary Dinesh D’Souza tells how “Hamas” shows up the Bible, and its not in a positive light.
Google AI Overview
“’Hamas’ in the Bible is a Hebrew word meaning ‘violence’, ‘wrong’, or ‘malice’, appearing about 60 times in the Old Testament, most notably in Genesis 6:11 to describe the violence that filled the earth before Noah’s flood. It refers to actions of injustice, cruelty, and destruction, often linked to enemies of Israel, rather than a specific entity.”
