By the way, if the situation was exactly the opposite, every single person in the world would be on Israel's side. Israel has less than 1 % of the land in the Middle East. Can you imagine if the situation was reversed? Let's pretend Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and all of those countries were Jewish states and then you had this tiny little Muslim country called Israel. And then let's suppose you had some Palestinian Jews. Under that circumstance, do you think anybody would suggest that Israel (being a Muslim state in my hypothetical) should give land to the Palestinians Jews? It would be laughable to even suggest that anyone would be against Israel if Israel was a tiny Muslim state surrounded by all Jewish states. Nobody would be suggesting that Israel had too much land and should give some away, if Israel was a tiny Muslim state surrounded by Jewish states.
I saw reference in your other post about 'condemning' israel. Im certainly not doing that.
But where do palestinians have plenty of land? If the un said this is yours, and that is theirs, and both agreed....why are they still fighting about it? I dont know why. Theres no easy answers here for anyone. It would be nice if they could reach a compromise, but i think too many outside groups dont want it settled.
