Inhofe does not list the most important and obvious reason:: The right of conquest. Israel deserves the land because they have the power and the will to hold it.
No other right has anywhere near as much authority.

THAT I do not argue with. The right of a nation-state to exist is only as good as its ability to control territory. A national government in exile isn't much of a nation all by itself.
But if you agree with that concept, in theory, you shouldn't have cared about Hussein taking Kuwait, either. I didn't. An awful lot of Freepers ended up on GHWB's side there.

Agreed!!!
It's too bad the Israelis didn't just complete the sweep back when they took control of the West Bank and Gaza...Get rid of all non-Jews. Of course then, they would have been compared to the Nazis...Which would be hard to argue against.
It's just too bad all this didn't happen back in the 1700's. No one would care today.
