In defense of some there IS a difference between Jews, even Israeli Jews, and radical Zionists (who took the upper hand politically in the late 19th century, even before WW I, but the end of the Ottoman Empire really turned them loose, and on!).
Israel is not “stealing land”….June 1967 Israel defeated several Arab armies/air forces waging annhilation war against peaceful Israel, and won those territories of Judea and Samaria. International Law does not make other winners of wars return land to the losers! Israel did not start Arab wars beginning in 1948, intending to kill and push survivors—-the Jews—-off the land of Palestine into the sea! 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973. Winner was Israel, with God’s help.-this cartoon is the anti-Jew Arab version of “peace”….the “peace” of a restored caliphate imposing Sharia Law on every person left alive in Palestine! (I don’t call that real peace, and neither do the targets, the Jewish people. Netanyahu is the best hope of staving off a new Holocaust in the Land that God promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their descendants)
The only “piece” Netanyahu and the right-wingers want is a piece of every plot of land, all the way to the Euphrates, what they consider the “biblical Israel”. Land stolen through false wars is still stolen. Which when the Jews were driven out in the diaspora, why did the radical Zionists of the 19th and early 20th century state THEY intended to take back the land “stolen” from them by others, finally the Ottomans?
Ignorant dtrout….After the Ottoman Empire was vanquished, the League of Nations and then the UN honored the most part of the Balfour Declaration and LEGALLY gave the Jews about 20% of the Land they had been promised by the British and the world organizations. The Arabs got 80%.-those Arab wars against Israel were not “false wars”….God said to Moses and other later prophets that He would bring back the Jewish people scattered all over the earth, to the Promised Land to await Messiah.-there is no excuse for such ignorance, dtrout.the History is abundantly available.
^dt: yes the history, the real history, is readily available, why don’t your read a little of it? Balfour was never implemented as outlined, nor was the Peel Commission recommendations on Palestine. Why don’t you also look up the years of terrorism by the Zionists against the British during the “protectorate” days that led to them finally saying: “Screw it, we’re out’ta here”! The “creation” of Jordan (including the West Bank) from the former “Trans-Jordan”, as well as Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan (East and West), and most of the post- WW I “Middle East”, and South Asia, was the work of empires, not law.
Israeli Jews were given boundaries, which they’ve never recognized. The fact that Jews were a small minority in the area prior to the creation of the state, with importation of “occupants” , mostly from Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as some from the U.S. , to CREATE a Jewish population of note, IS “history”.
The myths of the bible do provide occasional glimpses of wisdom, but as “history” fail miserably. Unlike Captain Picard on the Enterprise, your mythical “history” can’t “make it so”.

If Netanyahu would stop stealing land, and killing Palestinians, it might help too.
