Obviously, there is so little hope of supporting your arguments, that you are simply playing games, but I'll play along....

Yes, I want examples.

Examples? Of land changing ownership via wars of conquest? Are you serious? Do you realize what this says about your grasp of history?

How about...

North Vietnam annexing South Vietnam?

Germany (WWII) annexing Poland, France, Belgium etc......?

The US taking Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines after the Spanish-American war?

The US taking California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah after the the Mexican American War?

Pretty much ANY war ever fought in Europe?

I could go through the rest of the history of the world, but that would make a long thread.



So, my assumption was correct.

You neocon nazi?s have created a two tracked foreign policy.

What Israel takes by force becomes their property, and what America conquers becomes annexed and a tax payers nightmare via a Marshall Plan (read, Germany and Japan).

Lord, you are a dim bulb, aren't you?

Going back, I've made no proclamations of US or Israel foreign policy. I have merely stated what is obvious for those of us without brain damage. That is, territory SOMETIMES, but not ALWAYS, changes hands during wars.

Every conflict is different, and in the future if the US decides it is our best interest to annex some land, say, oh, Iraq, to ensure our safety, then there is nothing wrong with that.

Your attempt at obfuscation is very weak.

The fact reamins that Israel overran the Sinai and only returned it to Egypt when it was in their own best interest to do so.
