The Palestinians will be uprooted and displaced as God brings the Jewish people back to the promised land.
Les Feldick sees the present return of Jews from many nations as the fulfillment of God's covenant promises. Because Israel must accommodate millions more returning Jews, the Palestinians will have to leave or be absorbed. Les says he empathizes with them, but he insists the land belongs to Israel by divine decree.
Deuteronomy 30:3-5 — Promise that God will regather Israel from every nation and bring them into the land promised to their fathers.
Scripture records God's promise to Abraham: 'And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God' (Genesis 17:8). This covenant was reiterated in Genesis 15:18, where God promised the land from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates. The Bible also promises a future regathering of Israel from all the nations: 'That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee' (Deuteronomy 30:3). This regathering is tied to the land promise, not to the people's perfection. The Bible does not specify exactly what will happen to the inhabitants of the land at that time, but it makes clear that God will act on behalf of Israel.
Les Feldick teaches that the modern return of Jews to Israel is the fulfillment of God's covenants with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. As thousands of Jews continue to arrive from Ethiopia, Russia, Albania, Europe, and ultimately America, Israel will need more territory. That means the Palestinians presently living in the land will be uprooted. 'I can see the handwriting on the wall for the Palestinians,' he says. 'Bless their hearts, I know they're going to hate to be uprooted, and I empathize with that, but God has promised it thousands of years ago through this Abrahamic covenant' (Clip 1). Describing the land as belonging to the Israelites, he says the Arabs and Palestinians 'are going to have to find a new home' (Clip 2). Les envisions a day when the Palestinians will be 'pushed out, or they'll be amalgamated' and notes they will 'have a choice' (Clip 3). He calls the current inhabitants 'usurpers' who will be moved out because God is sovereign and is bringing His people back (Clip 4). Israel, he insists, will not give up territory for peace, and no amount of international negotiation can change what God has mandated (Clips 3,5).
Les says the influx of Jewish immigrants will require Israel to have room for millions more. He lists Jewish populations coming from Ethiopia, Russia, Albania, Europe, and eventually America. Because the country is small, the Palestinians already living there will have to be uprooted. He states: 'I can see the handwriting on the wall for the Palestinians' (Clip 1).
Yes. Les expresses compassion for the Palestinian people: 'The poor Arabs, I feel for them. They've got their homes there, their businesses' (Clip 2). He empathizes with their displacement, saying 'Bless their hearts, I know they're going to hate to be uprooted' (Clip 1). At the same time, he insists that the land promise is irrevocable.
Les offers two possibilities: 'the Palestinians will be pushed out, or they'll be amalgamated. They're going to have a choice' (Clip 3). He does not claim to know exactly how it will happen, but he is certain that Israel will possess its full land. He also rejects the idea that Israel will voluntarily trade land for peace, saying 'I don't see Israel giving up a big chunk of territory' (Clip 3).

God's all through with Israel, don't you believe it? In fact, I read a comment again the other night by one of the mainline denominational leaders that the present-day Jew in Israel has nothing to do with the Jew of Scripture. Well, I don't see how they can say something like that, but that's their privilege of course.
Handwriting on the Wall
The momentum of Jewish return to Israel from many countries, including Russia and Ethiopia, will eventually force the Palestinians out in order to make room. Les says he empathizes with them but notes the Abrahamic covenant guarantees Israel this land.
Land Belongs to Israel
Les teaches that the land belongs to Israel because of God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He feels for the Palestinians, but knows they will have to find a new home.
Pushed Out or Amalgamated
Les specifically states the Palestinians will either be pushed out or amalgamated, and that they will have a choice. He also insists Israel will keep its territory.
Usurpers Will Be Moved Out
Les explains that the Jews were scattered because of unbelief, and that God is now bringing them back. The 'usurpers' in the land will be moved out by God's sovereign act.
The Palestinian Covenant
Les refers to the 'Palestinian covenant' as part of the Abrahamic promise, guaranteeing that the land will go back to the Jewish people.
Israel Will Not Be Destroyed
Les teaches that Israel will not be wiped out by its enemies. God will fulfill His covenant promises with Israel despite pressure from the world and the Palestinians.
The Lost Ten Tribes of Israel — What the Bible Really Says
Now, you can't make it any plainer than that. It doesn't say two tribes. It doesn't say the rest are lost. But they're all represented. Now, this is one of the amazing things of the nation of Israel. Here they've been in a dispersion of one sort or another now for almost 2,700 years. Out amongst all the nations of the world. But they're still what? They're still Jew.
Genesis 17:8: And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
God promises Abraham that the land of Canaan is an everlasting possession for his descendants.
Genesis 15:18: In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
God specifies the boundaries of the land promised to Abraham's seed.
Deuteronomy 30:3: That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
This verse predicts God's regathering of Israel from all nations and is the basis of what Les calls the Palestinian covenant.
Les Feldick says he can envision a day when Palestinians will be pushed out or amalgamated. He admits he does not know all the details, but he is certain that God will fulfill His covenant to give the land to Israel.
Yes, he calls them 'poor Arabs' and says he feels for them because they have homes and businesses in the land. He empathizes with their uprooting, yet he insists the land belongs to Israel by divine promise.
Les uses the term 'Palestinian covenant' to refer to the biblical promise in Deuteronomy 30 that God will regather Israel from all nations and restore them to the land. He ties it to the Abrahamic covenant.
Les says the nations can hold peace talks all they want, but God has mandated that Israel will end up in her own land. Politics cannot override the divine promise.
