Sorry, but a lot of you are misunderstanding the situation that Israel is facing. First off, the occuapation the Arabs are speeking about is the exsistence of Israel and whether they like it or not Israel will continue to exsist.
In the Balfour Decloration the Jews were promised Palestine (at the time it included Jordan as well). The problem was, the Arabs as well as the French were also promised Palestine. The British (controllers of the mandate at the time) limited the immigration DURING the holocaust when they knew Jews were being massacred as well as after. For political reasons (oil, numbers, etc.) the British constantly supported the Arabs. The Arabs revolted against Israel immigration and refused any compliance with the British.
The Churchil White Paper in 1922 in response to the Arab riots in Palestine gave 78% of Palestine to the Arabs and formed Trans Jordan. Is that not enough?
The Peel Commission in 1936 by the British was a partition of what was left of Palestine between the Arabs and the Jews. It was based on population, and due to the Jews immigration restirictions, it gave the Jews less then 30% of the land. The Jews accepted. The Arabs rejected.
Time and time again the Arabs (Palestinians) had the oppritunity to have their own state; however, time and time again they refused to co-exsist with the Jews.
If the Palestinians lay down their arms, there will be peace. If Israel lays down it’s arms, Israel will no longer exsist.
Please, people, get your history right. Trust me, Israel would LOVE to be at peace with the Arabs. How much more land is Israel supposed to give? Israel needs to live as well you know and also needs to defend itself.
