At Tablet, Sheikh Abdul Hadi Palazzi, secretary general of the Italian Muslim Assembly, makes the Quranic argument for Jewish sovereignty in the land of Israel:
Over the past 15 years, the political conflict between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs has been reframed as a religious war in which leaders from Yasser Arafat to Hassan Nasrallah to Osama bin Laden have appealed to the authority of the Quran to support their goal of eliminating the State of Israel. The authority of the Quran has also been cited in support of a revisionist history that seeks to deny the historical connection of the Jewish people to the city of Jerusalem and to its holiest sites, including the Temple Mount. Ignorant of what the Quran actually says about Jerusalem, Western reporters have recently tended to ignore archeological and historical evidence and give equal weight to the supposedly competing religious narratives of Jews and Muslims: Jews are said to believe that there was a Jewish temple in Jerusalem, while the Quran states that the historical and religious claims of the Jews are false.
The transformation of a political conflict over land into a religious war is one of the most dangerous and frightening goals of radical Islamist politicians—but it has nothing to do with the Quran.
Here the Italian Muslim communal leader and Quranic scholar Sheik Abdul Hadi Palazzi examines what the Quran says about the connection of the Jewish people to the land of Israel. Far from negating the historical claims of a Jewish presence on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the Quran actually confirms Jewish accounts of the building of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem and supports the Biblical claim that the land of Israel was given to the Jews by God.

yers you are correct but Pallazzi is still Sunni. he is not a Quranist. So according to Sunni Islam these verses have been “abrogated” by Muhammad.
Of course no Quranist will accept abrogation. But this is standard Sunni doctrine. Sunnis take their Islam from Hadiths(oral traditions) that were compiled two centuries or so after Muhammad. Quranist do not accept the authority of the Hadith.
As far as what you said regarding the Quran and Jerusalem. The person who has authority for this is Jesus and the Gospel. He was the one hired by God regarding this issue.
Anyways the Quran does not tell us where people should live but it tells us what God instructed His prophets. And if the Jews want to live here or there thats their business. But to equate what the Quran says God told Moses or Solomon or David with Netanyahu and Menachem Begin or Ehud Olmert is ridiculous. Thats because the Jews today,like their Muslim counterpart, abandoned the scriptures for the Talmud. In that both Jesus and the Quran have PLENTY to say. If you know what i Mean.

Spencer is a Trinitarian. The Quran attacked the Trinity and defended the Gospel. Trinitarianism is a Roman invention. It has nothing to do with Jesus.
Jesus like the Quran recognized the Torah Judaism. The Judaism of Moses and David and Noah and Abraham. The Judaism Jews follow today is a Talmudic Judaism. radically different from the Judaism Jewss follow today.
I will put my trust in the Torah and Gospel. You can trust Spencer if you like.
Do so at your own peril.
The Quran confirms the Torah and Gospel and attacks the Talmud and Trinity:
