"When you say "the land is not theirs", to what do you refer?"

Land outside the original 1947 borders that was not acquired by a treaty. This is according to the 4th Geneva Convention, to which Israel is a signatory. This is according to Resolutions 242 and 183 of the UN, of which Israel is a member. You disagree?

So is this now the attitude? As long as Israel's army stands, where it stands is their territory?

Land has changed hands through war any number of times since - Korea, Tibet, Vietnam. All treaties do after war is ratify the facts on the ground.

This is according to the 4th Geneva Convention, to which Israel is a signatory.

The 1948 war was before the 4th Geneva (1949)

This is according to Resolutions 242

242 was mooted by the Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty (1994) recognizing the present boundary.

and 183 of the UN, of which Israel is a member.

UNSCR183 has to do with Portugal.
