I beleive that those that bless Israel will be blessed and those that curse Israel will be cursed but I dont thikn there is any way you can suggest that ethinc cleansing should be allowed by anyone.... and Thank God Israel isnt suggesting that.... However, the Palistinians certainly have suggested that Israeli's be purged from the earth.
I think you have the question wrong. It isnt because of the NT that Plaistinians should be denied claims to the land that is Israel, it is that they should be denied the land that is Israel because it isnt there's and never was!
Not to mention that these are remnants of a people that attacked Israel and lost a war. Those Arabs that lived in the region that didnt attack Israel were allowed to stay and are citizens in every way of the nation of Israel.

Ferd, thanks for your response, but you failed to answer my primary question: What claim do modern day jews have to the land of Israel?
Palestinians were born in Israel, why shouldn't they have a claim to the land?
