Except the piece it stole from Jordan in 1967, all those "settlements", and the Golan Heights...but ok.
1. Israel gave up the Sinai Peninsula for peace with Egypt and offered Gaza to them.
2. Israel stole nothing from Jordan. Jordan had no legal right to the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and East Jerusalem. It invaded and illegally annexed these areas in 1947-48. In 1967, Israel begged Jordan not to enter the Arab and Communist Jihad against Israel. But they believed Egyptian lies about Arab victory and joined, attacking Israel. Israel defended itself and retook areas Jordan illegally stole. In 1994, the Wadi Araba Treaty was signed ending the war between Jordan and Israel, which began in 1948. Israel gave up some borderlands to Jordan adn water rights for peace.
3. Syria attacked Israel in 1967 and lost. If you accept the Golan as Syrian, then all of Palestine is Jewish.

Spare me the hasbara...Israel is the one without legal rights to the West Bank. Jordan formally annexed the territory in 1948 with the support of the United States

From Wiki

In December 1948 the Secretary of State authorized the US Consul in Amman to advise King Abdullah and the officials of Transjordan that the US accepted the principles contained in the resolutions of the Jericho Conference, and that the US viewed incorporation with Transjordan as the logical disposition of Arab Palestine.[5]

The United States subsequently extended de jure recognition to the Government of Transjordan and the Government of Israel on the same day, 31 January 1949.[6]

The 1950 State Department Country Report on Jordan said that King Abdullah had taken successive steps to incorporate the area of Central Palestine into Jordan and described the Jordanian Parliament resolution concerning the union of Central Palestine with Jordan.

The report said the US had privately advised the British and French Foreign Ministers that it had approved the action, and that "it represented a logical development of the situation which took place as a result of a free expression of the will of the people."[7]
