If you feels Israel should give up their country do you also feel America should give this land back to the Indians and Mexicans who we stole it from?

the israelis did not steal the land, it was promised to them by the English before WWII because the arabs couldn't make anything grow, so when the jews made the land fruitful, the arabs came over the border in droves of... i think it was 35000 a year... I do not think that after fighting fifty years for their homeland that they should just give up.

No to the first question.
When we won the war with Mexico, How many Mexicans lived on the land that is now Texas. Probably only a couple of thousand. That is a very small amount considering how big that territory was. The Mexicans did not live all over North America. Why do , the people( on this forum) insist we took the land from them.
We did take the land from the over 600 tribes Of Indians that lived here., but how would we give it back as most are dead or assimilated.

You are asking a question that can be rephrased as
"should anyone return anything after stealing it?"
Problem is, there is a serious ethical violation on the part of Israel which was created by physically evicting natives and occupying their land. This happened when international laws were in place, in contrast to the era when Europeans occupied North America. In those days gunlaw prevailed. In this era a much higher moral and ethical standards are in place and that we always protect the weak and indefensible from big bullies.
There are other differences too. USA was formed and finally the rights of native Americans were recognized and they are treated equal with the rest of the residents. In israel this is not the case. If a greater israel was formed where both jews and palestinians are afforded equal rights, I believe there won't be any war.

Darn... regarding the answer that said BRITS Promised the land after the WWII... this is lame! Just because England promised some other country's land to a group of people it is right enough to go and occupy and kill people for that! Why didnt the lovely Brits give a lovely part of their own or why they are still screwing Ireland... THINK

No, just the land they are actively stealing, the occupied territories, the Golan Heights, the West Bank, parts of Palestine, Syria, Jerusalam, and now again Lebanon. The borders were agreed upon in 1967. It would be nice if the Jews could stay on their side of the line.

God gave this land to Israel, never should they give an inch.

I agree-why should they have to? The countries seem to take it one step further than they need to, though, by counter-invasion.
