Further more, Israel, for the sake of its security, impoverishes millions, kills thousands, and gets over a billion Muslims angry at the west. |
Nonsense! Go study the history. When Israel obtained additional territory after the 1967 war, it was only after it had miraculously stomped all over the several Arab nations that had attempted to
invade Israel (the Arabs initiated the war, not Israel). Then, in 1973 on Judaism's most sacred holy day, the Arabs again tried invading Israel and Israel again miraculously stomped all over them. I will not begrudge them the relatively small amount of land they kept after winning those wars. Besides, there is no such thing as a "Palestinian" people. They do not have a distinct genetic line (distinct from, say, the Arabs), they have never been a geopolitical entity (like, say, Egypt), and many of them came into Israel from places like Jordan following after Yasser Arafat.
In a fine example of America butting its nose where it doesn't belong, Israel gave up essentially 90 percent of the West Bank and entirely pulled out of Gaza because the so-called "Palestinians" made false promises of peace. Yet, the "Palestinians" continue to send women and children into Israel to blow up buses, movie theaters, etc. and continue to lob missiles at Israel.
