There are 150,000 Israeli settlers placed on Palestinean land in the past ten years probably with American taxpayer dollars It is no wonder that the Arabs are mad at us.

The land belongs to whomever can physically control it.

It's been true throughout the history of mankind, and is equally true today. No exceptions.

You can either defend your land or you cannot. If you cannot hold the land by force (with aid of allies) then you lose it. period.

Actually, US policy since 1967 has been that no US foreign aid or US guaranteed loans can be spent on settlements. Bush the Elder held up a package once because he felt Israel's guarantees on this issue were insufficient.

Of course, this doesn't stop the Israelis from using money they would have had to spend on other things. But it keeps America's consistent opposition to the settlements clear and unequivocal.

Based on the five posts you have made on FR so far, I diagnose you as a disruptor.

It's not Arab land, no nation other than Israel has ever been denied it's right to claim conquered lands as their own. It would be like the Founding Fathers giving Washington D.C. over to the British.

There are no settlements on Arab land, there is no Arab land in Israel.

"There are 150,000 Israeli settlers placed on Palestinean land in the past ten years probably with American taxpayer dollars."

There's no such thing as Palistinian land because there's no such thing as a Palestinian. They are unwanted Jordanians and other Arabs, who don't have the good sense to produce rather than whine and destroy.
