How can Israel claim to be a peaceful country when they have slaughtered and displaced Palestinians since World War II. Below is a link to a picture that show the size of the Jewish settlements between 1920-1948.

When will Israel stop expanding?
Maybe you should ask when they will stop shrinking?
After all, Israel has not gained any territory for 40 years (that was when the six day war took place).
Since then they have:
a) Given the Sinai to Egypt
b) Given the organization that was called the PLO much autonomy in the West Bank.
c) Withdrew from Gaza entirely

I guess you think the entire rest of that map was Palestinian?
How much you want to bet that the rest (particularly the Negev) was empty dessert.
As for expanding, Israel has not gained any addtional territory for 40 years. And most of that (the Sinai) was given back for peace.
your going to have to show me how Israel is currently expanding if you want to make your case.

I don't think they "claim" to be a peaceful country. Face it, they are. However, Israel learned LONG ago that there's only one "language" in that part of the world that the thugs around them understand.
When will Michael Moore's waistline stop expanding? That's what I want to know.

because of the fact there isn't any international tension on Israel. maximum media shops do not cover the data in any respect. Eretz Israel wanted to have dissimilar the middle East maximum probable. If maximum her "associates" do not choose something to do along with her; it opens questions as to why. Do they sense they could grow to be a area of this "extra advantageous Israel"?

This is a very good question. Israel is not actually expanding but regaining portions of their country that were either seize or given away in exchange for peace. The recent 'giveaway' was the Gaza.

When is the last time it expanded? 40 years ago? It is easy to note you intentionally skewed facts end in 1948.
