They will hammer their swords into plowshares (Isaiah 2:4, Joel 3:10, Micah 4.3)

What the Orthodox Jews and Fundamentalist Christians keep on forgetting is that this promise is based on a covenant or agreement. The covenant promised that Abraham would have many descendants and Canaan would be their everlasting possession if they remain faithful to God (Gen. 17:4-8). To remain faithful means to follow God’s laws. Among them are the following:
1) You shall not kill
2) You shall not steal
3) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
4) You shall not covet your neighbor's house or anything that belongs to your neighbor
5) Love your neighbor as your self
All these laws are being violated by the state of Israel. There are so many United Nations General Assembly resolutions that the State of Israel and the United States of America violates and/or taken for granted and that they get way with it just shows that the UN is not really effective and democratic. The problems in the Middle East should have long been resolved if they had followed these resolutions.
(It should be noted that the Arabs trace their ancestry to Abraham’s oldest son, Ishmael while the Jews consider Abraham their ancestor through another son, Isaac)
It should also be noted that all major religions are supposed to teach love and caring for others:
Do not to others what ye do not wish done to yourself, and wish for others too what ye desire and long for yourself – Hinduism
Make thine own self the measure of the others, and so abstain from causing hurt to them - Buddhism
What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others – Confucianism
Love thy neighbour as thyself. That is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary – Judaism
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you – Christianity
No one of you is a believer until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself – Islam
Blessed is he who preferred his brother before himself - Baha'i Faith
Shalom/Salaam
