Did God give the land of Israel to the Jews?

God makes promises to both Jews and Arabs when it comes to land in the Middle East, observes David Instone Brewer

Protesters all over the world are chanting “from the river to the sea” a slogan that has been criticised as antisemitic, and yet it is a good summary of two land allocations made by God in the Old Testament. Israel was given the land from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea but, before that, God first promised that all of Abraham’s descendants (including Arabs) could live in the land from the River Euphrates to the Red Sea (Genesis 15:18). This promise has been remarkably fulfilled.
