sorry buddy, but the ethno-religious myths hold no water. If you want to go that route, then you need to also recognize the Palis are simply converted Jews which kinda ruins your whole argument and leads you down a path you certainly do not want to go.
The state of Israel was first recognized in 1948. The borders were defined by UNR 181 in 1947.
And immediately after that the Arabs declared war on Israel and lost....but wait now they want Israel to give back the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights. I guess you would be ok with the UN demanding we give Mexico back Texas, Arizona and California even though we paid them for those territories. Let us look at what has happen in Gaza since Israel gave ceded it to the Palestinian. Numerous rocket attacks, many tunnels bored into Israel from Gaza so they can attack them. If they should cede the West Bank and Golan Geights they would be committing national suicide.
