Uh -- It was the Brits who ceded the land to Israel after WWII with UN approval. I believe Whosit & Schwartz hold the Title Insurance and the deed is clear..

In fact, Israel didn't take the West Bank from the Palestinians in 1967. I believe the tanks and soldiers that came into Israel thru Jerusalem had Jordanian flags on them. It should be JORDAN asking for that land back..

Netanyahu had to remind everyone that Palestinians refugees were created when Israel was immediately attacked after it's creation. But also thousands of Jews were evicted from Arab lands at the same time. More like the story of the India/Pakistan exchange when those countries split. ((And THAT one certainly hasn't been neighborly either)) Those daffy Brits...

And Manifest Destiny is a real crock. We should have left ALL of the Americas in the hands of European colonialists. Waited for them to push the Indians back, build an Interstate Hiway system and construct 2 DisneyWorlds. THEN, we could have grabbed it already developed... Our founders and pioneers really blew it..
