The collective name for the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the Golan Heights is the Land of Israel.

The Israeli claim to the West Bank (as Judea and Samaria were carefully renamed by Jordan after 1948, in precisely the same way, and for the same reason, that the Romans, nearly two thousand years before, had renamed Judea as "Palestine" and Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina) is not that of a military occupier, though it is also that. The main legal and historic claim is that based on the League of Nations Mandate, which in turn, was based on a considerable historic and moral claim recognized by the educated leaders of the then-civilized world, who actually knew something of the history of the area, and were not nearly as misinformed as so many have been by the mass media, and the laziness and prejudice of journalists today.
The notion of "occupation" of course evokes imagines of Occupied Paris, or Occupied Berlin, after the war. It implies no justification for the claims of the power with the military presence. But the claim of Israel to the lands it took in 1967 are based, for the Sinai, on the standard rules of post-war settlement, the rules which have obtained for centuries, whereby a victor in a war of defense keeps what he has won. If the Israelis chose not to, or were forced not to exercise that right, it does not mean that the right did not exist. It did, and it applies even more forcefully to Gaza and the West Bank. But the claim there is not based merely on the successful conquest of territory to which otherwise Israel had no claim. It did have a claim, a claim based clearly on the Mandate for Palestine -- and like all the other League of Nations Mandates, was formally accepted, taken over as it were, by the United Nations when it came into being. This is a matter of record. It cannot be undone.

No. the two Arabs and Jews, and the the remainder of the international, could understand all of what's now Israel, the West financial corporation, Golan Heights, and Gaza jointly as provinces of a united, explicitly secular and non-ethnic, socialist republic. illustration, and rights, for all is the only answer. Neither Jews nor Arabs can stay to tell the story plenty longer in the well-liked international as oppressor and sufferer, or whilst squabbling ethnic nationalists. The day of Zionist apartheid enforced via jet and via jackboot, and of the Palestinian nationalist resistance bomb, is over and executed with. the area is via nature a unmarried united states of america, worth of a unmarried state, even with the hatreds intentionally planted between the two peoples who now stay there. those hatreds have been planted, and nurtured, via the Western banks, whose creature Israel is, and who help the Arab despots, and who finance the oil purchases. it particularly is getting to the element the place it's going to be unite or die for the two peoples. And we've over sixty years of examples of the present association being unworkable. .
