No offense, but this is an incrdibly stupid question. Israel could have held onto the Golan heights, gaza strip, and had already left Lebenon quite a while ago. Now that they have given the land back to Egypt, which they won when EGYPT invaded Israel, after they gave the Gaza strip to the Palestinians, which they didn't have to do, and after two citizens of their country were kidnapped by Lebanese militants of Hezbellah, did Israel take the fight to Lebenon. You see where I am going here? You can't constantly threaten a soveirgn nation, attack it, and kidnap its people and expect them to kowtow. It doesn't work that way. Their neighbors and the people of those countries don't like them? Tough, I don't like the guy next door but I don't threaten him or his, I don't attack him. I stay on my side of the yard and he sticks to his and we live together in peace. So why don't you attack the Muslim nations that encourage this type of behavior? Why is it always Israel's fault? It isn't. Though there is no doubt in my mind they have misbehaved on several levels and that needs to be curbed. I will still support Israel however, because not one Jew participated in the atrocious war on civilians that the Arab and Persians nations has.

I guess the same could be said about America stealing California from Mexico. It should be given back right?
if you study history you see that Israel acquired its land in three ways. purchased before the state, land owned by the British government that was given over in the mandate, captured during war.
why are these methods perfectly normal for nations like Kuwait that was also created by the British but Israel is illegal?
as for returning to 1948 to get peace tell me then why was their a war in 1948 to begin with? or in 1967 when Israel had even less land then it did in 1948. When you face the fact that Israels neighbors want nothing more than its complete destruction please give me a call

Israel is as legitimate a state as any other nation in the world. Israelis have an obligation to defend themselves from neighbors who have never agreed to any peace plan whatsoever and have vowed to drive them into the sea!
Have you noticed the size of Israel compared to the rest of the Arab world. Obviously the neighborhood bully!

Israel's creation was a mistake. Plain and simple. It's like someone giving your house to another based on their religion as the UN agrees to it. Then when you try to fight back you are a terrorist. Give them NY. It is filled with Zionists already. If these people in Israel were really followers of Judaism, they would know that the land is that of the Palestinians.

yu really believe that malarky? sure there are boarder disputes, every country has had them at one point in time or another, but the current crisis has nothing at all to do with a boarder dispute ... its about a well armed radical extremist group attacking Israel repeatedly ... and Israel is exercizing its right to stop it. It comes down to the old saying : "they were asking for it" Sure, there are big bullies in the world but if you provoke him and then he smacks the piss out of you , dont sit there and whine about how mean he is ... you asked for it.

Israel's only goal is to live in peace on its existing land. It is her enemies whose only goal is her destruction and the death of all Jews that create the problems.

Yes, they were 'given' the land because Abraham went out into the desert and got heat stroked. Then he came back and said that God talked to him. He heard it first

I think that it is an attempt by Euro-Gypsies to steal the identity and birthright of the true Jews that they helped to enslave... in America and the Carribean....
