"To do it properly, they should have pushed the Egyptians out of Gaza in 1967. And the Jordanians out of the West Bank."

Why do you say that? Israel pushed Egypt out of the Sinai, yet ended up giving it back. They're even discussing giving back the Golan Heights to Syria. I don't see your point.

"If you start a war and lose, you should lose territory."

Technically, Israel struck first in the 1967 War. But whatever.

Israel is a signatory nation to the 4th Geneva Convention which states that civilians will not be transferred to conquered territories.

It's more difficult for terrorists to launch rockets from Gaza if all the terrorists are in Egypt instead.

Yes and Egyptians haven't launched rockets at Israel lately.

They're even discussing giving back the Golan Heights to Syria.

And if that happened, the results would be similar to what's occurred with Gaza.

I don't see your point.

Clearly.

Pesky Jews. But whatever.

Maybe that was a fatal mistake.
