Who are the lunatics that think Israel has a legal right to occupy an inch of the West Bank or Golan Heights?

Question

Americans and Jews?

Answer 1

I'm not going to argue the WB issue. There are thing about that I don't like, too.

However...

The Golan Heights is strategic terrain and should NEVER be returned to Syria. That is a risk to the security of Israel.

Period.

I guess Syria just needs to get over the fact that, when you lose a war, sometime you lose the land you attacked from.

Get over it.

Answer 2

No. the two Arabs and Jews, and something of the international, ought to comprehend all of what's now Israel, the West financial company, Golan Heights, and Gaza jointly as provinces of a united, explicitly secular and non-ethnic, socialist republic. representation, and rights, for all is the only answer. Neither Jews nor Arabs can stay to tell the story lots longer contained interior the popular international as oppressor and sufferer, or on an identical time as squabbling ethnic nationalists. The day of Zionist apartheid enforced by applying jet and by applying jackboot, and of the Palestinian nationalist resistance bomb, is over and finished with. the section is by applying nature a single united states of america, nicely worth of a single state, regardless of the hatreds intentionally planted between the two peoples who now stay there. those hatreds have been planted, and nurtured, by applying the Western banks, whose creature Israel is, and who help the Arab despots, and who finance the oil purchases. it quite is getting to the element the region it is going to possibly be unite or die for the two peoples. And we've over sixty years of examples of the present affiliation being unworkable. .

Answer 3

Your name calling does not make your fallacious position any more tenable.

Palestine has never existed . . . as an autonomous entity. There is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture.

There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians.

Palestinians are Arabs, indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis, etc.

Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of one percent of the landmass. But that's too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today . . . No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough.

Answer 4

In the 2nd century CE., the last attempt of the Jews to achieve independence from the Roman Empire ended with the well-known event of Masada.

That is historically documented and universally recognized as the fact that determined the Jewish Diaspora in a definitive way. The Land where these things happened was until then the province known as Judæa , and there is no mention of any place called "Palestine" before that time.

The Roman emperor Hadrian was utterly upset with the Jewish Nation and wanted to erase the name of Israel and Judah from the face of the Earth, so that there would be no memory of the country that belonged to that rebel people. He decided to replace the denomination of that Roman province and resorted to ancient history in order to find a name that might appear appropriate, and found that an extinct people that was unknown in Roman times, called "Philistines", was once dwelling in that area and were enemies of the Israelites.

Therefore, according to Latin spelling, he invented the new name: "Palæstina", a name that would be also hateful for the Jews as it reminded them their old foes. He did so with the explicit purpose of effacing any trace of Jewish history. Ancient Romans, as well as modern Palestinians, have fulfilled the Hebrew Scriptures Prophecy that declares: "They lay crafty plans against Your People... they say: ‘come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more'." - Tehilim 83:3-4 (Psalm 83:3-4).

They failed, as Israel is still alive. Any honest person would recognize that there is no mention of the name Palestina in history before the Romans renamed the province of Judea, that such name does not occur in any ancient document, is not written in the Bible, neither in the Hebrew Scriptures nor in the Christian Testament, not even in Assyrian, Persian, Macedonian, Ptolemaic, Seleucian or other Greek sources, and that not any "Palestinian" people has ever been mentioned, not even by the Romans that invented the term. If "Palestinians" allegedly are the historic inhabitants of the Holy Land, why did they not fight for independence from Roman occupation as Jews did? How is it possible that not a single Palestinian leader heading for a revolt against the Roman invaders is mentioned in any historic record?

Why there is not any Palestinian rebel group mentioned, as for example the Jewish Zealots? Why every historic document mentions the Jews as the native inhabitants, and the Greeks, Romans and others as foreigners dwelling in Judea, but not any Palestinian people, neither as native nor as foreigner? What is more, there is no reference to any Palestinian people in the qur'an (koran), although muslims claim that their prophet was once in Jerusalem (an event that is not mentioned in the koran either). It appears evident that he did not meet any Palestinian in his whole life, nor his successors did either. Caliph Salahuddin al-Ayyub (Saladin), knew the Jews and kindly invited them to settle in Jerusalem, that he recognized as their Homeland, but he did not know any Palestinian...

To claim that Palestinians are the original people of the Land of Israel is not only against secular history but also against Islamic history!

"There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Palestinians are Arabs, The name "Falastin" that Arabs today use for "Palestine" is not an Arabic name, but adopted and adapted from the Latin Palæstina . How can an Arab people have a western name instead of one in their own language? Because the use of the term "Palestinian" for an Arab group is only a modern political creation without any historic or ethnic grounds, and did not indicate any people before 1967. An Arab writer and journalist declared: indistinguishable from Jordanians (another recent invention), Syrians, Iraqis, etc. Keep in mind that the Arabs control 99.9 percent of the Middle East lands. Israel represents one-tenth of one percent of the landmass. But that's too much for the Arabs. They want it all. And that is ultimately what the fighting in Israel is about today... No matter how many land concessions the Israelis make, it will never be enough".

Answer 5

It is the oldest recognized international law. It's called "The Right of Conquest". They stole it fair and square. They can keep it as long as they have the power to hold it.

I can think of no nation on earth that has "legal" claim to every little bit of territory within its borders, according to the "logic" implied in your question.

Please tell us all at what point in history you would freeze all international borders and say that is where they will be forever. I don't think you can do it.

Answer 6

Legal right?

right is established by those that can controll it.

what right dose America have to its territory?

The answer is that it can defend it from those who would wish to take it.

The same gose for Israel. Its legal right is no one is willing or able to take it away.

Answer 7

Everyone who follows the golden rule "to the winner goes the spoil".

Answer 8

Legal right? Probably nobody would try to make that case except that psycho Alan Dershowitz. Most arguments I've heard in favor claim that it's for "self-defense" (even if it's not legal) which if course is commonly used to justify attrocities.

Answer 9

The same ones who wrote the Bible claiming Palestine as theirs and no one else's "Promised Land".The germans had the same kind of Holy writing about eastern Europe as their "Lebensraum" and about 200 years ago,others in America were writing in their Piracy Congress!! the "Indian Removal Act" or "Munroe Doctrine".It is not less evil,if you get away with doing it.
