which was seized from an aggressor enemy in a war?
What nation owns Alsace-Lorraine today? How about the Sudetenland? Gdansk?

How about the Falklands too !!
It's idiotic to go back in history and lay 'claim' to what once 'was' .
There would be never-ending worldwide war if everybody did that.
And I think it was rightfully and historically Israel's land in the first place . So why should they 'give it back' ?
NO WAY .

relatively, the Arabs have a extra constructive PR branch than the Jews, and the worldwide supplies in. The United countries is the main important wrongdoer of the anti-Israel faction in the worldwide. in fact that the Jews should not be predicted to return something that they have got; in fact, they have already made a lot of concessions in the call of peace, on an identical time as the Arabs have not compromised in any respect yet save claiming it quite is Israel it relatively is the undesirable guy. on the top of the day, Israel is a speck of sand in the barren area in comparison with the massive territory owned by Arabic hobbies; yet, it quite is the Jews who could resign what they have? Puh-leeze!

^_^ nice point! kudos! Also ignore that useless report on you; you havent broken any rules (and since that comment by black knuckles wasnt a question or answer, I reported HIM ^_^). But I really don't know why Israel is expected by so my people to give its land back. I think of it this way:
Imagine Israel is a child at a daycare. Some other children start taking Israel's toys (land). When Israel starts taking its toys back, it takes back a few extra toys. Then the other kids get mad and do everything in their power to get back their toys. Now However, the other kids want to kick Israel out of the daycare, push it into the busy street (drive it into the sea, actually said by one of these countries for anyone who wants to try and disagree with me). So this has happened in lots of other Daycares (America and Mexico, the ones you mentioned, etc.) only this time, all of the people who were in Israel's position have grown up and brought their children (died and a new generation came). Now their children were never in a situation like Israel's, so they dont understand why Israel is doing that. Also, in some of the other Daycares (like America vs the Natives) the people in Israel's position stuck a pacifier in the bullys' mouthes (i dont know what to equate this to, but look at how little the native americans complain about what was done to them), but Israel doesnt have that many pacifiers today.
Edit: David F: TURN OFF CAPS LOCK it makes things much easier to read, and you sound much smarter when you aren't constanly in capitals, but then again my words probably go over your head, seeing as you had to repeat yourself in that last message, I'm assuming so that you would understand what you said. And look at Jewish history, that land was taken from the Jews a long time ago, but they got it back after WWII, so I don't see how its still Arab land.

The land that Israel is expected to return wasn't taken from an aggressor enemy because Israel was the aggressor in that war...They attacked 3 Arab countries and took part of their land.This occupation was declared illegal under international law and should have been given back since 1967,but Israel still ignores the law and refuses to give back those territories...

If the Arabs give up their arms (guns, etc.) there would be peace in the middle east (at least between Israel and the Arab nations)... if Israel gives up it's arms (weapons) there would be no Israel! Israel is like a drop of water compared to the ocean of land occupied by Arabs, yet, the Arab world won't be satisfied until absorb and destroy it. If Israel gave up all the land seized during war - it would still not satisfy the Arab world. It's "Time to give peace a chance".

The simple answer to your question, is because Israel is the only nation in the world which still has troops in the Occupied territories for almost 40 years now, expanding it's settlements all this time, all of which are not only illlegal under the international law, but also ethicaly questionable.

Ignore the black knuckles clone/troll. He's everywhere. Heaven help us if he makes it level 4.
Great question. I think Israel should NOT relinquish more land. I have watched in sadness as one Israeli PM after another gives up more land in appeasement to the Palestinian murdering thugs.
When will this world see that the Palestinian bloodlust has nothing to do with land and everything to do with slaughtering Israelis?

Boy are you lacking in historical knowledge...
Germany seized Alsace-Lorraine from France (in fact ALL of France) during WWI and WWII, and it has bee given back to France. Germany seized much of Europe during both wars, and had to give all of it back.
Japan gave up tons of territory after WWII. War in the Balkans after the breakup of "Yugoslavia" resulted in return of parts to local ethnic rule. There are literally thousands of examples of seized territories changing hands after a war, land given up by both the victors and the losers.

Not everyone expects it.
The Jewish people should fight to retain their Holy Lands.
Christians should support this!
Palestinians should abide to the law.
Iranian Muslim extremist leaders should stand away.
