What are you talking about Finn? Are you talking about the original boundaries of the partition or are you talking about the West Bank and Gaza? It's difficult enough to have a conversation with the only expert on the forum on cheerful, peaceloving Palestinians and rude, babykiller Israelis without you blurring what your actual beef is regarding the territory involved.
The bullshit I hear is that when Israel gives Gaza and the West Bank back all the conflict goes away. It's an utter contradiction of the stated goals of the PLO, Hamas, Hezbolla and all the rest...but maybe a unique expert like you is buying it. Thing is, in 1948 the West Bank and Gaza were not Palestinian land. They were Jordanian and Egyptian land. So the Israeli's were never "bestowed" the now problematic land in question. They took it from the original "occupiers" who apparently took it from the Palestinians...who apparently had little complaints about it until 1967. And they did not take either parcel until their neighbors had launched attacks on them from those places. The same friendly neighbors who again launched attacks on them 6 years later. I'm gonna say it was proven to the Israelis that giving an inch of that dirt back would be a deadly tactical error.
If you're talking about the original partition land being stolen from Palestinians...maybe you might want to council your friends from Hamas that it would be more appropriate to fire their rockets into the UN buildling than into Israeli neighborhoods full of women and chidlren.
Make up your fucking mind, Finn.
