Israel is a very small country, less than half the size of San Bernardino County, California. Its Jewish population is approximately 3.5 million, just about the population of Iowa. Compare that to the 22 Arab states, armed to the teeth, and virtually all of them in a state of war with Israel. They have over 140 million inhabitants and a land area larger than that of the United States. From its founding, Israel had to fight every day for its very survival. Of course this has been no problem because the Arabs live in like 10 b.c.
Do Muslims needs more land? Look what they have done with the land they have? It's like a GIECO Caveman Commercial. Why not leave the only advanced society in the Middle East alone?

Lebanon is not advanced? Cairo? Damascus? Dubai? Tehran?
Wow!
And you are using the term Muslim and Arab synonymously. Which is wrong. There hundreds of thousands of Christian Palestinians in diaspora. Waiting to return to their home land. What about them?

Probably because it was actually Palestine before the artificial state of Israel was created on THEIR land?
Israel is armed to the teeth actually, thanks to the US. They have the ability to wipe out ANY country in the middle east at a moments notice.
How would YOU feel if China came over to the USA and took over a chunk of it, because they said the land was rightfully theirs according to a different mythological book?
That's how Muslims feel about Israel.
Fact of the matter is, at the end of the day, Israel shouldn't be where it is, and shouldn't have been created in the way it was. It is THE #1 reason why the Muslim world hates the west. Period.
Muslims don't need more land. They do however want SOME of the land that was ILLEGALLY taken from them back.
That's all.
Christian and Jewish Zionists and sympathizers always try to make the hypocritical argument that the land is theirs. The Muslims say the same thing. I don't give a rat's behind about that land. All of you people fighting over whose imaginary god is the real god can fight over it all you like. You're all going to the same place when you die.
Peace.

Palestine is only a region and nothing more. It's like saying "The coastal states" here in the US. There was never a city, county, state or country named palestine and the people known as palestinians never had the name until 1948. Israel has had that name over 3300 years. The Arabs are using the palestinians as canon fatter and pawns. They could care less about them or they'd give them some land with their own people.
Most palestinians are throwbacks from Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt. Arafat the palestinian terrorist leader was an Egyptian and he just called himself palestinian without any proof. He was a murderer and I am so glad he's dead.

Advanced? Advanced according to you. Never heard of culture??? Never seen a pic of the new Alexandria library?? The 8 lane freeway in Cairo? I think You are thinking of the Middle East of the cavemen times.
And guess what? The Arabs were there first! Why should Israel get to take that land??? We all have religious beliefs.. If i believed you should give me your bank account number/pin, would it happen?

Because the dumb post-Zionist (seriously, dumb) leaders of Israel want to receive "praise" from Europe and the US State Department.
Giving land to the Arabs is how to achieve that. Protecting Jews is not the government of Israel's main concern.

Seems like a Geico caveman ad alright.

Israel was created by taking Palestinian land. Maybe that's why they're mad.

The Palestinians lived in PALESTINE and lost their home and land and have lived in refugee camps for generations. They deserve someplace to live, too.
