Should Israel surrender more land -the West Bank and East Jerusalem - in an attempt to appease the Arab world?

Answer 1

Sinai and the settlements that were vacated in Gaza and Judea last summer did not appease the Arab world.
I don't believe that any more land will do.

Answer 2

Only think the would appease the Arab world would be the complete surrender of Israel. I only wish all the Jews would have chosen Alaska as there holy land. It sure would be the most peaceful country in the world. If Israel was not in the middle east the arabs would be fighting each other..... oh wait they are.

Answer 3

Israel is not the victim here. and the arab world is not the issue. The issue is that the palestinians are extremely poor and are oppressed. I'm not blind, they have some fault also but everyone is so biased against muslims that they fail to realize that it is not just the Palestinians. I'm not suggesting Israel "surrender" more land to the Palestinians but some sort of treaty has to occur or the violence will not stop and this tug of war between who has more right over Israel will keep continuing. Please dont be so biased there's enough hate and war in this world...we need some peace now

Answer 4

The Arab leadership has made it quite clear that they will never be 'appeased' until Israel has been thoroughly and utterly destroyed.

And they're quite happy to keep the Palestinian Arabs in refugee camps until they do. The Egyptians had the first camps in the Gaza Strip, after all, some twenty years before Israel captured it.

As for Jerusalem, it is Judaism's ONLY holy city. It ranks third for Islam, behind Medina and Mecca. Moreover, it is important to Islam because it is important to Judaism -- they would deny Jewish rights to the city regardless of where it was.

Surrender land, and the Arab leadership will consider it a sign of weakness and proceed from there. It's a risky business, and far from guaranteed to succeed.

Answer 5

After 1951 issues settled down and remained incredibly quiet. if the zionists had left it at that they could ultimately have received the international's respect. The land-grabbing caused off each and each of the problem - after the 'sixty seven warfare of acquisition the total international discovered itself without notice confronted with Palestinian resistance,and it became the international's issue. The west economic employer as area of Jordon became surely all they'd left of their fatherland. as to if it can make any distinction now to go back it,my feeling may no longer be,besides the indisputable fact that it can be properly worth a attempt.

Answer 6

No. I hate to say it, but I have yet to see "the Arab world" appeased and I don't think giving land to a group that does not even recognize your right to exist as a good idea.

Answer 7

Nothing will as you say "appease" the Arab's or the Palestine's. Israel is tiny, this is a Spiritual battle as well as physical so surrender according to G-d's Word is not the option.

Answer 8

To appease, absolutely not.

For long term peace, Yes (but I still want to see the conditions)

For a nation to be in almost a constant state of war for 60 years is a terrible thing.

Its easy to talk about principals and rights, but in the end people are willing to concede in order to finally be at rest.

Maybe this Arab plan in some form will bring that rest, but I would not hold my breath.

Answer 9

And when THAT does not appease the Arab world, what more can Israel offer to give to those who have sworn to obliterate them?

Answer 10

Nothing will appease the Arab world, give em' an inch...
