Well wasn't America promised a land of inheritance for Lehi coming out of Jerusalem?

That's what leads me to take the other scriptures refering to the Jews' land of inheritance at face value to mean their promised land (Jerusalem and the surrounding area). |

I would never make a political decision based on some vague promise of canon. To me, that is folly. Make a decision based on good policy.

And now the Turks have to suffer because of that unfortunate decision.

What I quoted was from the BoM. Either Western powers referenced the BoM when deciding on the Jewish state, or Joseph Smith was one inspired dude. |

Wake up. We're supposed to build a better world. We are supposed to be just. I have a Jewish colleague who told me, "you know what I like about Mormons? Like Jews, they believe the world can be redeemed." GBH has specifically counseled against this crap kind of millenial thinking. |
