This is all sophistry. In 1948 70% of the population of the land between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River, called at the time Palestine, were Arabs. It is now estimated that, even excluding the refugees, they constitute 50% of the population of that area. What they are called is irrelevant, they still have the right to live in the land in which they were born.

Israel has only two just options: either annex all the territories and grant full and equal citizenship to all the inhabitants or divide the land between themselves and the Arabs, which was the rational for the creation of the State of Israel in the first place. I recognize that both options are unpalatable and will not argue which would be better. A third option of expulsion of the Arab population is just not going to happen and would lead to a war in which Israel would be isolated from the whole world, possibly even the U.S.

Sorry, but the land has already been divided.
And,, since the Israelis have kicked Arab ass repeatedly, there is a pretty good argument for them owning the West Bank, Gaza strip and Golan Heights “by right of Conquest.”

Perhaps you need a little more history information on that area. THERE IS NO PALISTINE. That area ia not Arabic. You confuse this fact that all moslems are not Arabs but most Arabs are moslem. Syrians, Turks, Iranis, Iraquis are moslem but not Arabs. They are not from the Arabian peninsula. As a matter of fact they pretty much hate arabs. The Turkish word for dog and negro is “Arab”. The so called palistinians are a made up people.
