Zionists believe they are entitled by God to the land, groves and homes of the non-Jewish underclass. They quote the Bible as the reference that 'God gave them the land.' The size of the alleged God-given land has never been determined and Israel's borders still remain fuzzy.

WHAT DOES NON-JEWISH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gentile

Gentile is a term often meaning "non-Jew". Other groups that claim Israelite heritage also use the term to describe outsiders. The term is used by English translators for the Hebrew גוי and נכרי in the Hebrew Bible and the Greek word ἔθνη in the New Testament. The term Gentiles is derived from Latin, used for contextual translation, and not an original Hebrew or Greek word from the Bible. The original words Goy and Ethnos refer to "peoples" or "nations". Latin and later English translators selectively used the term Gentiles when the context for the base term "peoples" or "nations" referred to non-Israelite peoples or nations in English translations of the Bible.
