You forgot to mention how the Arab states attacked Israel with the objective of total annihilation of the Jewish state. If they had succeeded, I can't imagine how many men, women and children would have perished or worse... So Israel that is militarily speaking superior pushed them all back and as punishment took some land (though It was probably as much to make a buffer zone for protection as it was punishment) because the only language their enemies speak is violence. People need to realize one thing: Israel can ONLY be militarily speaking powerful cause ANY other sort of Israel would have simply ceased to exist so for those who imagine Israel acting differently, know that there could not be any other Israel with the type of neighbors the Jewish state has. The rest of the world is slowly beginning to realize that with all the terrorist attacks the west has had to endure but that's nothing compared to Israel who has its nose almost literally in the mess the west has only had to endure from a distance. |
I realize why Israel are occupying the land that they are ever since the Six-Day War but that does not mean that they should take the lands for themselves since we're supposed to be passed the barbaric age of imperialism and expansionism ...
If the entire international community is going to chide Russia for ascending Crimea for which they themselves have democratically voted for then they should be doing the same if not more so since Israel are trying to claim these Israeli settlements for themselves WITHOUT even the consent of a relevant party ...
FWIW, these Israeli settlements effectively stopped being buffer zones since Israel has decided to build civilian infrastructure and the UN straight up declares such action to be illegal so how about Israel back right off and move back to the previously agreed borders ?
Israel can both have a powerful military WITHOUT being an imperialist such as the US. Did the US try claiming Japan for itself even though the latter was invading the aggressor's territory much like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict ?
