I'm afraid that it is you that is spinning the narrative.  Might I remind you who attacked whom in 1948 and 1967?  Israel gained those territories in defensive wars and became considerably safer as a result.  They could have gobbled it all up long ago, but did not.  Despite what you say, Israel would have been better off doing so long ago and ending the question instead of letting it linger for another half century.

As for Israel taking the whole thing, that's conspiracy theory.  Not worth talking about except to again point out that you hurt the Palestinians by perpetuating a myth instead of demanding that they forsake violence and make peace with their neighbors.

Again, the only people capable of stopping the cycle of violence are the Palestinians.

Thats not even remotely true. Israel also need to do their part. That being said, I don´t really believe that the situation will be solved in foreseeable future or if its solved, then it will be pretty much good bye palestine.

Strange to see all these distorted views on Israel. I don´t see how anyone can honestly defend Israels actions and complaining about other countries that also do something wrong is not helping. If Lebanon does something bad it does not magically make it okay for Israel to do something bad. All countries should be criticised for thr bad things that they do, it should be made clear that they should change their policies for the better.

And whats that "leftists" hate jews talk? At least here in Finland and for example in Russia, its the conservative far-right nationalists that adore Hitler and hate jews, although most of finns of course condemn Israels actions, they are not in no way anti-jew.

The issue is the seemingly disproportionate attention placed on Israel.  I get that two wrongs don't make a right, but one does have to question why Israel making hebrew the official language is so offensive when over in Saudi Arabia non-muslims are not allowed to hold citizenship, and blasphemy against Islam is punishable by death.
