Ok. So, it looks like the area was allocated from British controlled territory back around the end of WW1.

Base on the 1947 maps, it looked like the United Nations finally partitioned the area that had been under British control into what is about 90% the same area as the current nation of Israel and the occupied territories.

Then, in 1948 and 1949, every surrounding country around Israel attacked it, and by the times the new armistice lines were drawn in 1949 they were slightly different than the 1947 lines. But still about 90+% the same. During every later conflict, the lines changed by a few miles based on who won, but otherwise remained approximately the same as the original 1947 allocation.

So, I take it your questions are: (1) are the Israelis correct to defend that land purchased for them and ceded to them over 60 years ago? (2) are the Israelis correct to hold on to occupied territories captured from surrounding countries, given that the other surrounding countries were both the initial aggressors and th e losers? and (3) are certain Arabs (since you lumped tens of millions of people together, I don't know what subset you army be referring to) wrong for wanting to wipe Israel off the map and return it to its condition 90 years ago?

Yes, Israel is correct to defend the land that forms their country against terrorist organizations that want to destroy them and that regularly lob rockets against Israeli towns.

And yes, Israel is as justified as any other country in keeping territory that it captured during a war that it won and where it was not the initial attacker. Countries have been doing that for thousands of years, and many other countries have certainly done the same thing numerous times in the past century.

And yes, I think that terrorists and fanatics who want to destroy a country just because they don't like it are wrong. And it really doesn't matter to me who the fanatics are or what country is being invaded. Trying to destroy another country, solely because you don't like them, is just plain wrong.

As for the rest of the Arabs, so far Israel has only responded in self defense to attacks against its people. I don't recall any Israeli invasion of Kuwait. Nor to my knowledge has Israel ever attempted to topple the governments of Egypt or Jordan simply because Israel didn't like them. So, it seems the only people that get attacked by Israel are the people who attack Israel first.

I don't really have a problem with that.
